Limit water exposure.
Wear gloves when you wash dishes, and don’t soak nail in the bath or pool for too long. Keep your nail outside the water for most of your soak.
But drink lots (and lots) of water.
Hydration is key for beautiful skin, hair, and nail. Drink lots of water throughout the day, and you’ll feel and look better—all the way down to your hydrated cuticles and nail. A balanced diet that includes plenty of protein will also help improve nail health. Strengthen
Keep your nails on the shorter side.
If you’re having trouble with weak nails, consider cutting down the length while you build up their strength. Shorter nails are less prone to breaking because there are fewer exposed edges to tear and less surface area where water and chemicals can be absorbed. Just make sure to file down your nail in one direction. Don’t saw them back and forth as this can cause your nail to split and peel.
