Moisturize Regularly:

Trim and Shape Nails:

Protect Your Nails:
Wear gloves when doing household chores, such as cleaning or gardening, to protect your nails from harsh chemicals and rough surfaces.
Use Base and Top Coats:

Limit Use of Nail Polish Remover:
Avoid excessive use of nail polish remover, as it can dry out your nails. Opt for non-acetone removers when possible.
Stay Hydrated and Maintain a Balanced Diet:
Drinking plenty of water and consuming a well-balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals (especially biotin, zinc, and iron) can promote healthy nail growth.
Gentle Manicures:
Opt for gentle manicure treatments that avoid excessive filing or buffing of the nails.If you go to a nail salon, ensure they practice proper hygiene and sanitation to prevent infections.
