Problem: Splitting
Cause: A lack of protein and the mineral silica can lead to nails splitting and flaking.
Eat: Cucumbers, brown rice, root vegetables, nuts and eggs.
Treat: Get a nail strenghtener that toughens up weak nails.

Problem: White Spots
Cause: Whitish marks are often down to a zinc deficiency or bruising of the nail plate.
Eat: Zinc-rich foods such as crab, herring and black-eyed peas.
Treat: It's a wait-until-you-can-trim-it scenario, but to speed up nail growth, apply a treatment wich contains strengthening keratin.
We recommend :
Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle

Problem: Ridges
Cause: Vertical ridges tend to increase with age, but they can also point to a lack of iron. Horizontal ridges are usually the result of nailbed damage and should grow out.
Eat: Red meat, eggs and cherries.
Treat: Combat a hard, uneven surface with the softening nail protein formula.
We recommend :

Problem: Dryness
Cause: Dry, dehydrated nails tend to break easily as they're lacking in protein. It can also be partly down to a vitamin B12 deficiency.
Eat: Tuna, salmon, chicken, liver and spirulina.
Treat: Always use a nourishing base coat for dry nails.
