To make the soft nails harder, immerse nails in olive oil for 20 minutes on alternate days.
Diet
Iron rich diet is essential for healthy nails. Eat beet root regularly as they are rich in vitamin D and calcium. Milk, cheese, yogurt and other calcium rich foods should be taken in abundance. Drink plenty of water and fluids. Avoid alcohol, tobacco and process foods.
Keep Covered
In summers and winters wear gloves or mittens especially outdoors to protect hands and nails from any damage. While chopping vegetables and washing clothes it is better to wear disposable gloves. Excessive contact with detergent soaps is too harmful for nails. Don’t soak your nails for longer periods in alkaline solution as it may cause irritation and chronic infection.
Avoid Dyes
It is wise to protect the nails from artificial dyes and low quality or excessive use of
nail colors as they can make them lose
natural pinkness and shine.
Trim
Cut your nails once in a week with a nail clipper as the elongated area traps dirt inside that is harmful for
health. Use filer and buffer afterwards to give a beautiful finishing.
Like other areas pay attention to nails as well. They beautify and protect your fingers.
