2.Split or Cracked Nails

Repeated chemical exposure and harsh environments can leave nails brittle and splitting. Fungal infection and hypothyroidism, which lowers hormone output, are other causes. Added signs like weight gain, low mood, or fatigue may point toward thyroid issues. Splitting can also reflect low biotin, protein, or iron. Frequent washing, detergents, and cold dry air weaken the plate. Use gloves, moisturize often, and maintain a nutrient rich diet. Nail strengtheners and keeping a moderate length help reduce breaks and cracks.
