2.Split or Cracked Nails

Regular exposure to chemicals and harsh surroundings can render nails fragile and likely to split. Fungal infections and hypothyroidism, a disorder lowering hormone levels, can also trigger splitting. If paired with symptoms like weight gain, low mood, or tiredness, hypothyroidism could be at play. Split nails might also signal a lack of biotin, protein, or iron. Frequent hand washing, detergents, and cold, arid weather can weaken nails. Shielding hands with gloves, moisturizing often, and maintaining a nutrient-packed diet can curb these problems. Using nail hardeners and keeping nails at a reasonable length can further lower the chance of splits and cracks.
