weak nails
Easily broken keratin
Weak nails are fingernails or toenails that break, split, or peel easily.
The condition may result from nutritional deficiencies, frequent exposure to water or chemicals, or simply genetics.
Nail hardeners and biotin supplements are common remedies: My weak nails kept breaking until I started wearing gloves while washing dishes.
