Why are women's nails soft?

Many girls are confused by the problem of their soft and thin fingernails. They say that their fingernails often break and never grow long. Now I will talk about the problem of soft and thin nails!

Reasons for thinness and softness

1. Congenital reasons: Some people have always had thin and soft fingernails. Yes, this is caused by genetic inheritance and cannot be changed at all.

2. Acquired causes

a. Excessive polishing Some people's fingernails are normal at first, but then become soft. The most common reason is excessive polishing. This is caused by the beautician repeatedly grinding and polishing the real nail surface. In fact, polishing only needs to be done lightly before doing manicure. It is to make the nail surface rough to improve the adhesion and make the manicure last longer. If the beautician polishes the nails many times or uses heavy hands before doing the nails, instead of just slowly grinding off a thin layer of the nail surface, it is a problem with the beautician's actual operation. If the nail polish cannot be removed after 15 minutes of nail polish remover, and you have to polish the nail surface in time until it is completely removed, then it is a product problem with the nail polish, or you have chosen a product that cannot be removed. A good nail polish should be very easy to remove. First, polish it twice to penetrate the layer, and then apply nail polish remover within 15 minutes to remove the nail polish.

b. Nutritional deficiency means lack of calcium, lack of vitamins, lack of nutrients, etc., but this situation is very rare nowadays. And if these nutrients are seriously lacking, not only will there be fingernail problems, but they are usually accompanied by other symptoms. For example, calcium deficiency can cause fatigue, sleepiness, leg cramps, back pain, lack of vitamin D can cause abnormalities in the eye area and eyes, lack of B vitamins can cause abnormalities of the central nervous system, and lack of vitamin C can cause scurvy. If you think you may have nutritional deficiencies, it is best to see a doctor.

2. What to do if your nails are thin and soft

Fingernails are a natural barrier to protect the nails. If the nails are worn too thin, they will not only be easily cut, but will also cause infection, and in severe cases, will lead to perionychia, so everyone must do it carefully.
