  1. Wet hands. You don't need to wash your hands too often. For example, nail problems are common among hairdressers or health workers who wash their hands often.
  2. Nail polishing. Excessive care dries out the nail plate – a scratch can turn into a crack.
  3. Aggressive chemicals. They can also have a negative effect on nails and cause them to peel off.

  5. Nutritional problems. It is important to eat right and take vitamins.
