Nail brittleness

They say that a person is "meeted by their clothes", but any woman knows that the first thing that catches the eye of an attentive person is the condition of the hair and nails. Just as the eyes are the mirror of the soul, so nails are an indicator of the health of the interlocutor's body. Increased fragility of nails indicates significant disorders occurring in the respondent's body.

Causes of brittle nails

The nail plate grows with the synthesis of creatine, which easily absorbs water, which affects its thickness. Its condition is undoubtedly affected by the required amount or deficiency of vitamins, micro- and macroelements. The causes of brittle nails are quite different.

• Creatine has a porous structure, so excessive use of varnish can provoke such a cosmetic defect.
• Frequent removal of the remains of a slightly peeling manicure using an acetone-based nail polish remover.
• Increased fragility due to hypothermia.
• Ignoring hygiene rules when visiting a swimming pool, sauna, bathhouse, or solarium.
• Dry air in a room where a person spends a long period of time every day.
• Improper care:
  • You can get an infection when cutting your nails.
  • They must not be bitten.
  • Filing is carried out only with an individual special file.
• Use of household chemicals without the use of protective equipment.
• Avitaminosis.
• Chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
• Prolonged exposure of feet and/or hands to chlorinated water.

Brittle nails can also be a symptom of a more serious internal pathology:

• A metabolic disorder in which the synthesis of protein and other substances necessary for healthy plate formation is reduced.
• The presence of diseases affecting the cardiovascular system.
• Disruption of the endocrine system.
• Pathology of a neuralgic nature: overfatigue, short periods of time allotted for rest.
• Hormonal changes in the human body associated with pregnancy, the onset of menopause, or as a result of some disease (for example, diabetes, thyrotoxicosis, anemia).
• Strict diets.
• A flight with a sharp change in climate zones and quality of drinking water.
• Poor circulation in the lower and upper extremities.
• Abuse of smoking, alcohol, drugs.
• Overwork or stressful situation.
• Iron deficiency anemia, progressing against the background of a deficiency of red blood cells.
• Sedentary lifestyle.
• Fungal and/or bacterial infection of the nail plate.
• A vegetarian diet that includes animal proteins in its diet.
• Long-term pressure on the nail plates, for example, tight shoes.

As follows from the above, there are many reasons that can lead to the problems under consideration. But a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition, proper and constant care of hands and feet will help keep the basis for manicure and pedicure in a presentable form.

Brittle nails and hair

We are all individuals in this world and perceive this world and the people around us differently. Some people pay attention to a “cool outfit”. But many individuals feel uncomfortable communicating, and simply being around, people who have “tow on their heads” and unkempt hands. Agree, it is nice to talk to a beautiful, neat, well-groomed person. And the reason for such an appearance is not only the untidiness of their owners. Such a general appearance can be created by brittle nails and hair, which can be a consequence of external negative impact on the human body, the degree of care for them, or the result of a deep internal pathology.

These parts of the human body are indicators of health, both physical and psychological.

Try testing your nail plates yourself first by answering a series of questions:

• Are the plates of uniform color?
• Is there any layer-by-layer divergence of the plates?
• Is their surface structure smooth?
• Correct outlines of the form.

If you answered yes to all the questions, then there is nothing to worry about - the health of the body is within normal limits. Otherwise, you should listen more carefully to your body, most likely there are still some malfunctions in its functioning that have such a detrimental effect on our appearance.

Nervous tension and daily stress do not pass without a trace; they all affect our appearance, while also having a detrimental effect on our organs and systems.

But not only nails are subject to such negative influence, hair also gets "hit". With such pathologies, their structure changes, becoming more fragile and brittle, natural healthy shine is lost, the diameter of the hair becomes smaller, thinning, its ends split.

As crazy as it may sound, the hair that we can see “growing” above the skin surface is already a dead structure. Only the hair follicle remains alive, which is very sensitive to any impact: changes in the external environment or deterioration/improvement of human health.

“Dead” hair, which mainly consists of keratin, can be restored to health only by various cosmetic products, while the follicle itself can be supported by the health of its owner, as well as nutrition and proper hair care.

To be more specific, the reasons that can cause hair and nail plates to become brittle include, in addition to those already noted above:

• Hereditary predisposition.
• Disruption of the sebaceous glands of the head.
• Deficiency in the intake of microelements such as calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and, of course, vitamin complexes with food.
• Increased fragility can be caused by a person staying in the scorching rays of the sun for a long time with an uncovered head.
• The opposite temperature indicators – frost – “work” in a similar way.
• Frequent coloring.
• Using a curling iron and a hair dryer.
• Room air conditioner.
• Using a low-quality comb when combing, which damages the hair itself and the scalp, and, consequently, the follicle.

Splitting and brittle nails

The main component of the material from which the nail plate is structured is layers of keratin, between which are located the fat cells and water necessary for a healthy state. Keratin perfectly adsorbs these components, which allows the plate to maintain its required thickness. When the water and fat layers decrease, the nail becomes thinner and drier. It is this change that leads to a situation where delamination and fragility of the nails are observed.

The cuticle, designed by nature as nail protection, plays a leading role in the peeling off of the keratin layer and breaking of the plate. It is the cuticle that is a barrier that does not allow harmful pathogenic microorganisms to invade the body, infecting, among other things, the phalanges of the fingers, the end of which are the nails. And it is through it that the nail receives from the body the nutrition necessary for its normal condition.

A qualified and experienced doctor can assume or state the presence of more than twenty diseases based on a set of characteristics of the nail plate condition. These changes in characteristics can appear long before a specific pathology begins to manifest itself with other symptoms.

Doctors call the set of criteria that characterize the condition of the nail plate onychodystrophy.

The growth of this part of the human body is very slow, 0.1 - 0.2 mm per day. It follows that if damaged, the nail is fully capable of restoring its structure and size parameters in approximately 95 - 110 days. It is worth noting that the growth rate is not a constant category, it changes depending on a certain period in a person's life. Studies have shown that the growth rate accelerates during hormonal changes affecting the body: pregnancy and menopause in women, puberty in adolescents, and so on.

Brittle nails and hair loss

A healthy person's daily rate of hair loss is 70 to 80 units. If the intensity of this process increases, it turns out that the hair growth process does not have time to compensate for their loss, the "hair" gradually thins. If appropriate measures are not taken, the person goes bald (alopecia is diagnosed). As sad as it sounds, but this term is not the prerogative of men only today, some women also face this pathology. About 60% of modern Hers and Aphrodites complain about the problem of increased hair loss.

It is very rare to observe a single symptom of a disorder; much more often, pathological changes affect several areas at once: brittle nails and hair loss can be observed simultaneously in one person.

As for the combination of increased fragility of the nail plate and the presence of alopecia in the patient's medical history, such a tandem is somewhat less common. This "pathological duet" is present in every tenth case of seeking advice from a specialist.

Is it a lot or a little? The figure is definitely somewhat alarming. And the main physiological reason for increased brittleness of nails and hair is a lack of calcium in the human body. It is this element that is responsible for the strength of bone and keratin structures. At different periods of life, the required daily intake of Ca varies and can be either 1000 or 1500 mg.

When analyzed, this element is found in high concentrations both in the outer and inner layers of the nail plate, in the roots of the hairs. It is in these places that the maximum concentration of calcium-binding proteins is observed: calretinin and repetin.

Against the background of such a clinical picture, doctors often note problems with teeth and spine in such a patient. Scientists have proven that the study of the nail plate for mineral composition clearly shows the state of the musculoskeletal and skeletal systems of a person, being a characteristic of calcium metabolism in bone structures.

Dry and brittle nails

It will probably be hard to find a person who has never encountered a problem that manifests itself both physically and aesthetically, when he observes dry and brittle nails. A problem that affects not only the appearance of the "victim", but also indicates the presence of deeper diseases in the body, perhaps not yet symptomatically manifested.

When there is increased dryness and, consequently, brittleness of the nail plate, it can be assumed that this area does not receive a sufficient amount of vitamins, fluids and fatty substances that control the health of the nails.

The reasons that lead to such a clinical picture have already been described above. Analyzing this knowledge, they can be conditionally divided into two groups: those that the "injured person" cannot influence, and those that anyone can eliminate, you just need to reconsider your lifestyle, adjust your diet. If your professional activity is associated with hazardous production, you should not ignore protective equipment. This approach will significantly reduce the risk of developing such a pathology.

Brittle nails on hands

Beautiful women's hands - they have been praised by many poets and artists. Modern representatives of the fair sex flaunt stunning manicures, because a well-groomed hand is a woman's adornment. But beauty fades when the hand looks unkempt.

Therefore, increased fragility of fingernails often initially leads to stupor. Where to run and what to do to change the situation for the better? First of all, you need to calm down and make an appointment with your local therapist. And then he, having familiarized himself with the problem, will prescribe treatment or refer you to a narrow-profile specialist: a neurologist, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, and so on.

After all, the quickest way to solve the problem is to simply smear your nails with a medicinal cream. It is necessary to establish the cause and the primary source of the disease and stop it. Otherwise, there is no point in waiting for an effective solution to the problem.

Causes of brittle nails on the phalanges of the upper limbs:

• Improper hand care.
• Ignoring protective equipment when working with household and non-household chemicals.
• Frequent use of acetone-based nail polishes and removers.
• Severe overheating or, conversely, hypothermia of the upper limbs.
• Dryness of the room.
• Change of climate zones.
• Long-term contact with chlorinated water, such as in a swimming pool.
• Deficiency of vitamins A, D, E, trace elements iron, calcium, silicon, selenium, zinc in the body of the “victim”.
• Internal pathological changes.
• Metabolic process failure.
• Smoking.
• Stressful situations.
• Mental and/or physical exhaustion.

Brittle toenails

At first glance, it may seem that brittle toenails are not a problem to worry about, because your feet can be “decorated” with shoes and no one will notice our problem. But this is not true. The problem of brittle nails on the feet, although not so clearly visible aesthetically, can bring much more problems and discomfort to its owner. In addition, being a symptom of some diseases, ignoring the problem can provoke much more serious and complex pathologies. For example, a fungal or infectious lesion can lead to blood disease, gangrene and amputation of the lower limbs.

This is, of course, quite a rare and worst-case scenario for the development of the disease. But perhaps you should not tempt fate and test it on yourself. At the first signs of discomfort and the appearance of fragility, you should immediately consult a specialist.

It would not be superfluous to know the sources that are capable of provoking such a negative picture. After all, knowing the prerequisites, it is easier to prevent them.

• Incorrectly selected footwear. Narrow, fingers constantly feel pressure. Mainly, such pathology concerns the big toes of the lower extremities.
• Poor blood flow in the legs, which can be caused by varicose veins or physical inactivity, a sedentary lifestyle.
• Poor or improper care of feet and nails, among other things.
• Lack of animal proteins in the diet.
• Lack of vitamins, micro- and macroelements and minerals.
• An invasive infection of fungal or bacterial origin.

Treatment of brittle nails

When the problem in question arises, many specialists prescribe various means, specially developed by pharmacists and cosmetologists to strengthen the plates. And they certainly cope with the task well, but the problem often remains completely unsolved, because the original source remains unsolved.

Therefore, a qualified doctor, when prescribing treatment for brittle nails, first sends the patient for a full examination, allowing to find the source of the problem. And only after that, adequate treatment is prescribed, including mandatory therapeutic therapy, which should stop the provoking source.

The treatment protocol includes creams, ointments and gels that strengthen the nail, nourishing it with useful substances and a mineral-vitamin complex.

Vitamins and minerals are prescribed orally in the form of capsules, tablets or syrups.

It is imperative to eliminate the cause of the pathology if it does not have pathological roots, but comes from outside. For example, when applying varnish, apply a fixer as the last layer - this will reduce the number of varnish removal procedures using acetone-based liquid. Train yourself to do housework only in protective rubber gloves. Consult a cosmetologist on how to properly care for your hands and feet to prevent the occurrence of this problem.

In parallel, but having informed your doctor, you can carry out procedures at home using folk remedies. For example, you can start with basic baths, in which essential oils such as castor, bergamot, almond, ylang-ylang, eucalyptus, olive, rosemary, jojoba, almond are introduced into warm water. To enhance the effect, you can add a few drops of iodine. The procedure lasts 10-15 minutes, after which the hands are rinsed without using soap.

Remedies for brittle nails

To keep nails strong, not to split or break, they should be “fed” with nutrients and vitamins. Especially relevant in this situation are A (retinol), E (tocopherol) and D (cholecalciferol, ergocalciferol).

This is the exact composition of the remedies for brittle nails. Any form of vitamins is suitable for maintaining the body. This can be vitamin A and E in capsules or tablet form.

The dosage of vitamin A (retinocaps, videstim, retinol palmitate, bartel drugs vitamin A and others) is selected depending on age. To avoid vitamin deficiency and to restore the vitamin norm in the body, the doctor prescribes:

The daily dosage for an adult is from 33 to 50 thousand IU. In case of significant deficiency, a dose of 100 thousand IU may be prescribed.

For small patients, this figure is somewhat lower and ranges from 1 to 20 thousand IU, depending on the baby’s body weight.

Vitamin E (for example, Vitrum, Euzovit, alpha-tocopherol acetate, Tocopherocaps, Forvital and others) is taken in a daily dosage:

Children from one to six years old – 5 – 7 mg. Teenagers from seven to seventeen years old – 10 – 15 mg. Adults – 10 mg. For pregnant women, this amount is slightly higher – 10 – 14 mg.

The duration of taking the medications depends on the severity of the pathology and is adjusted by the attending physician.

Similar vitamins are also used in the form of oil solutions, a few drops of which are thoroughly rubbed into the cuticles.

You can also use a specially developed liquid called "Crystal". This product is effective for splitting and brittle nails. The procedure takes a little time: it is enough to apply it to the plate in the cuticle area once (at night) or twice a day (morning and evening). This is the most susceptible place. The convenience of its use is that this liquid can be applied even if there is varnish.

You can "paint" your nails with iodine instead of varnish at night. By morning the yellow tint will go away, but the effect will remain.

Vitamins for brittle nails

In light of the problem that has arisen, one should not forget that treatment also involves adjusting the diet. The daily volume of products must fully replenish the necessary amount of all vitamins and minerals necessary for the normal functioning of the body. And a healthy body means healthy nails and beautiful hair.

In order to correctly select and compose a daily diet, it is necessary not only to know which vitamins are necessary for brittle nails, but also in which foods they are present most of all. Let's consider this issue from this perspective.

• Vitamin A is responsible for protecting the body from pathogenic invasions and boosts the immune system, strengthens the hair structure and returns its natural shine, stimulates the synthesis of the substance that forms the basis of the nail plate. Its greatest quantity can be found in sea fish, liver. It is rich in spinach, carrots, tomatoes, egg yolk, butter, rose hips. You should not stuff yourself with these products either. Everything is good in moderation.
• Vitamin E is an excellent antioxidant that works to protect the body from the development of inflammatory processes, takes part in the process of adsorption of vitamin A, to replenish its need, you need to eat the following products: egg yolk, vegetable oil, any nuts, whole grain cereals and bakery products, cereals.
• Vitamin C takes an active part in the synthesis of collagen, one of the components of the nail (responsible for the growth of the epithelium), helps to stop aging. Strengthens hair and nails, helps improve blood circulation. This substance is abundant in citrus fruits, currants (other berries), tomatoes, avocados, sauerkraut.
• B vitamins, such as B5, help supply the phalanges of the fingers and hair follicles with blood, and therefore nutrition, strengthen the immune system, and improve metabolism. There is a lot of it in chicken meat, bran, cereals, nuts, and yeast.
• Vitamin D is necessary for the normal absorption of calcium, which is simply invaluable for restoring the structure and hardness of the nail plate. In order not to feel its deficiency, you should eat fermented milk products (especially cottage cheese and cheese), nuts, greens (nettle, alfalfa, dandelion greens), mushrooms, fatty fish, parsley.
• Vitamin H is irreplaceable in terms of growth and healthy appearance of nails and hair. This vitamin is abundant in yeast, apples, onions, rice bran, mushrooms, cabbage, green peas, carrots, liver, fish, dairy products.
• Calcium - this microelement is simply irreplaceable in terms of growth and strength of hair and nails, but it can be normally absorbed by the human body only in the presence of vitamin D. Calcium is rich in cottage cheese, leafy vegetables (lettuce, cabbage), sprouted grains, raw egg yolk, hard cheeses, and almost all legumes.
• Iron is one of the main chemical elements involved in the process of hematopoiesis. It is part of erythrocytes (red blood cells), which are the transport that carries oxygen to the organs and systems of the body. It is found in abundance in greens, sprouted grains, meat, berries, cauliflower, and zucchini is also rich in it.

Therefore, if hair and nail breakage occurs due to vitamin deficiency, or as a supportive therapy, it is recommended to include vitamin-mineral complexes and foods rich in these vitamins in the treatment protocol.

Many immediately try to find folk remedies, others run to the doctor for advice, and others simply brush off the problem. The first and second are right. It would not be superfluous to consult a specialist who will help to understand the problem and identify the source that provokes it.

Strengthening with folk methods will not hurt either. Previously, and quite often today, the problem is treated by taking a small amount (on the tip of a knife) of purified sulfur three times a day.

Folk remedies for brittle nails

Every nation has its own traditions, including in the field of medicine. Methods that include folk remedies for brittle nails are different - these include foot and hand baths, vitamin and mineral complexes, ointments, gels, compresses and lotions. And you should not wait until the nail begins to exfoliate or become more brittle, and the hair loses its natural shine. Folk recipes can be used as a medicine and as a preventive measure.

• A good source of calcium is eggshell. It should be washed, separated from the thin film, and thoroughly crushed. Take half a teaspoon a day. Calcium is better absorbed in an acidic environment, so it will be more effective to drop a few drops of lemon juice on the shell powder before taking it. The duration of therapy is two weeks.
• A wonderful source of all kinds of vitamins is beeswax. It must be melted in a water bath. Dip your fingers into the warm product and hold for about 20 minutes. The course of treatment is three weeks.
• Tea brewed from horsetail has proven itself to be a good solution to this problem. This drink will not only help strengthen brittle nails, but also has a beneficial effect on the entire human body as a whole. It helps to replenish the deficiency of silicon, which is also found in sufficient quantities in beans, bananas, lettuce, parsley, and black currants. This tea should be taken one glass twice a day for two weeks.
• Lemon is excellent in therapy for brittle hair and nails. Wash the citrus and cut it, separating a ring about a centimeter thick. Place the phalanges of both hands in its pulp. Five minutes are enough to get the expected effect, after which the acid is washed off with warm water, without using soap.
• The following composition also strengthens the nail plates perfectly: 20 drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 5 tablespoons of vegetable, preferably olive, oil and a couple of drops of iodine. Mix the ingredients, dip your fingers (or toes) in it and hold for 10 minutes. Rinse your hands without soap.
• Melt beeswax (4 g) in a water bath and add one hard-boiled egg yolk. Mix everything well, adding a little more peach essential oil. The consistency of the “medicine” should be like thick sour cream. The procedure is carried out daily before going to bed – you need to rub your nails.
• A procedure with the following composition will help prevent delamination: grind watercress and flax seeds in a coffee grinder, taking one tablespoon each. Mix with a tablespoon of honey. Apply the resulting ointment to the nail plate two or three times a day. Apply the ointment at night and fix it with a bandage. This medicine is rich in phosphorus, nitrogenous oils, potassium, iron, which nourish the human nail through the cuticle, while also having a positive effect on metabolic processes in this area of the human body.
• Eliminates increased fragility and natural apple cider vinegar in equal proportions mixed with sunflower oil. The phalanges of the fingers should be kept in this composition for a quarter of an hour daily.
• Sea salt baths also strengthen well. Dissolve a tablespoon of sea salt in a liter of warm water. Soak your hands (or feet) in this mixture. After 15 minutes of the procedure, it is advisable to rub a nourishing cream with a high content of vitamin A into the cuticle area.
• It would not be a bad idea to drink burdock root tea for two to three weeks (it can be replaced with dandelion). Pour 200 ml of just boiled water over one teaspoon of the crushed plant and leave for a third of an hour. After that, drink half a glass three times a day.
• Prepare the following composition: mix well a teaspoon of peach and cocoa oils. Using a water bath, bring the composition to body temperature and apply it to the nails. Apply the "medicine" with massaging movements. Put on cotton gloves on your hands. Keep them in this state for three hours. During this time, you can do simple work, the main thing is not to wet them. After the specified time, rinse your hands without soap in warm water.
• Warm water baths with five drops of lemon juice, three drops of iodine and vitamin A added (it can be easily purchased in capsule form at any modern pharmacy) are also effective.
