When your nails chip, crack or peel easily then this condition is called Brittle nails.
Be it health condition or through external factors, when you get brittle nails you must take immediate care.
The causes of brittle nails are Anemia, malnutrition, old age, thyroid or external factors.
Low blood levels and reduced blood flow to the nails causes brittle and dry nails.
Not getting enough nutrition and minerals through your diet can be a factor to this condition.
When you grow older your nails become slow to grow and get dried out causing brittle nails.
Low thyroid levels can make the nails dry and susceptible to cracks and peeling of nails.
By working with water like dish washing or washing clothes will eventually cause this condition.
