"Cuticle oil "

To strengthen the growing part?

Cuticle oil and hand cream make nails more flexible and likely to bend not break.

Wear gloves when getting your hands wet except when using the toilet and showering. Be careful after showering

Yeah cuticle oil sadly makes a difference. It's remembering to use it that's the hard part.

I have a powder put on mine as BIAB lifts readily. After years of violin/nail biting it's the only thing that stops them from being damaged. Cuticle oil and gloves when using chemicals?

An inexpensive option is the Superdrug cuticle oil. I dislike the peach scent but it's helped my nails quite a bit.

Inexpensive hand cream, Simply Professional hydrating hand lotion - big tub, use it plenty.

I take collagen and it seems to help. I seem to notice more broken ones if I haven't taken them for a week...

Not done a proper scientific study

I use hand cream a lot. I haven't used cuticle oil in a while, I'll get some

I'll deploy the gloves more frequently

Collagen upsets my stomach unfortunately. I bought some gummies to help with the problem and had to stop taking them after the first 3 or 4

Due to menopause, my nails became very soft. For the last 3 years I have been having Biab gel nails, which has been great for strengthening and supporting my natural nails.

Taking a biotin supplement seems to help mine

Some people also use strengthening nail polish formulas on their natural nails. I quite like OPI Nature Strong, but it gets decidedly mixed reviews

Biotin will only help if your deficient in it and do let medical professionals know as it can mess up lab results and diagnosis of some conditions

I take Biotin and Collagen and my nails still split.

Thankfully I don’t like long nails on myself so just regularly trim and file.
