Ladies with long natural nails: How do you keep the nails from breaking once they are long?

My nails seem to grow strong and hard, but it seems that as soon as they get to the perfect length and look great, they all start breaking! I use a good protein strengthener regularly....... what else can I do? They'll break at the base- horizontally about half way and then the whole thing will come off soon afterwards.Ladies with long natural nails: How do you keep the nails from breaking once they are long?
It's all in the care. I use Sally Hansen's complete care once a week. It's available at most drugstores for $12. Before I use to be like you my nails would grow out then break off, and so I did a little research. Proper nutrient gives your body what it needs to maintain strong and healthy nails. Also don't use your nails to pic at each other (I use to have this bad habit) it makes the nails weaker, just use the nail pic on a metal nail file. Also when you need to file your nails only file in one direction this will keep them from getting weak. I also like to cut mine once every 3 months in order to have them grow out healthy again, by doing this they keep growing back stronger than before. But if you do cut your nails don't do it too often because cutting your nails with a nail clipper creates shock to your cuticles, which in the long run isn't good for the nails. Instead if possible just file them, but as I said before in one direction. Also don't change your polish (if you choose to polish your nails) too much, it doesn't really help the nail because when you use the nail polish remover to remove the polish it dries out the nails. Finally when ever exposing your nails to water for a long period of time (say a shower) the nails feel weaker so I would suggest to avoid anything that might put your nails at risks for a few minutes after exposure to water.Hope this helps!Ladies with long natural nails: How do you keep the nails from breaking once they are long?
i have long nails, for years I have soaked my nails in a half solution of water and vinegar. Usually while watching TV (then I dont munch on anything either) Its safe and natural. You can save the solution for repeat uses in a jar....You can also recycle the solution by using it to wash a mirror or windows.....





another suggestion might be that your problem is you are lacking vitamins





either problem can be fixed
you know i had the same problem as well, my nails would always chip from the bottom.. but i never used a nail strengthener..one of my friend advised always keep ur nails painted with any nail polish, but just always keep them painted, because that some what helps prevent the nail from chipping off..maybe you do keep your nails painted all the time.. but maybe another advice would be.. don't grow them super long..try to keep a normal okaish Length because if ur nails are long there gonna break some how sooner or later.. sometimes nails don't have to be really long to look good.. i guess i would say.. try to keep them at a okay length where there wont be no worries for them chipping off.. hope it helps..
you can't
ya why is that
