In the past one or two months my nails have begun peeling like crazy and I don't know why. My diet hasn't really changed in the past year, and my other habits are pretty much the same too. I've tried using strengthener and hardener, but nothing seems to work and they keep peeling.
This has never happened to me before ... what can I do so they stop peeling?Peeling Nails?
Onychorrhexis are brittle nails which often split vertically, peel and/or have vertical ridges. This irregularity can be the result of heredity, the use of strong solvents in the workplace or the home, including household cleaning solutions. Although oil or paraffin treatments will re-hydrate the nail plate, one may wish to confer with a physician to rule out disease.Peeling Nails?
If your hands are in water a lot, and if you have ruled out nail fungus, then use a good nail polish, a good couple of coats to cover the nails and protect them. Wear gloves when doing dishes, or other wet work. This will help a great deal.

How do i peel my 4 day old nails?
i was told not to clip but peel, i have a hard time doing that because he moves so much..could you tell me a technique i could use?How do i peel my 4 day old nails?
I don't understand why you can't clip them, but a file should work.
..How do you BITE a babies nails..?How do i peel my 4 day old nails?
I was too scared to do anything with his nails when Lukas was newborn. We just kept scratch mitts on.
After a couple of weeks I was brave enough to clip them with nail clippers (while he was sleeping... that's the easiest and safest way).
I think the advice is different depending on where you are and who it's from, but I've heard you should nibble them and also that you shouldn't nibble them or peel them as there have been cases where parents accidentally rip off the whole nail! Likewise, with clippers you're less likely to rip off the nail, but there's always a chance you'll nick the finger.
I always preferred to use baby nail clippers as I tried peeling once and was too scared to pull it in case I'd gone too far and hurt him. Wait until his hands are a little bigger and he's sleeping and see what you're comfortable with doing.
I clipped one of my son's nails CAREFULLY, and then realized that I had pinched his skin anyway. It didn't bleed, but I definitely clipped as much skin as fingernail. Since then I have been filing his nails really gently when needed, peeling them after they start to peel on their own, and using mittens the rest of the time. It's okay to wait for them to grow out enough to see what you are doing, as long as you protect the baby's little face from getting scratched.
I wouldn't peel the nails-try biting them. Why can't you clip them? I mean don't do it if it says it-always listen to the doctors but I have a 2 week old daughter and I haven't heard of it and they didn't say anything and I have been clipping them. I also have her wear mittens all the time too. Congrats on your little boy!
i used a nail file for the first few weeks as i dint want to cut them but at the hospital i was adviced by the midwife to bite in to one side of the overhang of the nail then peel it across but i was worried about taking to much off
I think you got it wrong.
Usually they say not to peel, but to clip them. Don't people them, you can end up peeling them to far and it could hurt. Baby nails are very thin and delicate. I would get a baby nail clipper, and clip them while your baby is sleeping.
for the first couple of weeks, the baby's nails are pretty soft, yet can do lots of damage on their skin...i used a baby nail file to just round out the sharp edges. I didn't start clipping his nails until probably after a month old because I was nervous and the file was working pretty well. I never peeled his nails..that sounds like it may cause hang nails...
Don't peel them, doing so could result in them getting too short. The best way to shorten nails on a baby is with a baby nail file, when he's asleep gently file the nail. If you do it while he's awake it may be difficult.
i wouldnt peel bc u might peel to much off. you can file the nails down. i didnt clip my sons nails till he was about a month old. i tried biting and i couldnt. thank god there are mittens.
I dont know about peeling but if your not comfortable to cut them you can also bite them. I could never do that bc it grossed me out but a bunch of my friends did that for their kids
We used the baby clippers on him when he was sleeping. That was the only time our wiggle worm was wiggle free :)
When he was tiny we just used the little hand covers because I was too afraid to cut him.
make sure they are wet first than it will be much easier!!! If you trust yourself bite them off it not bite the end and then peel them away!!! If they were long though...i will probably clip my baby 4get wat da doc says!!!
We didn't clip his nails until they were harder. They are to soft. If you have to just file them down with a baby nail file!
i won't clip my daughters nails cause it catches her skin. i can't file them she moves to much. i just bite them when she is nursing
Bite them yourself! I have never heard of clipper use being disallowed. As long as you are careful, what's the problem?
do it when they're sleeping.
I always bit my infants nails. its SO much easier.

I like to have long, natural nails, but they always peel and are too thin?
I don't know why, but my nails always peel and are exceptionally thin. If I drum the table with my fingers, the nails start to bend and it is just hard to be a 12 year old with really short fingernails for some reason. My mom told me I need more vitamin E. If that is true, what do I do to get it, and if there is any other way to get thicker, stronger, nails, please do tell. thanks for your help!I like to have long, natural nails, but they always peel and are too thin?
You do need more vitamin E and you can get pill supplies in a pharmacy :)
And also,you could use nail hardener to strenghten your nails,thats what I do.
Makes them all nice and non-brittle ;DI like to have long, natural nails, but they always peel and are too thin?
the fastest and easiest AND cheapest way to get stronger nails is by using tea tree oil nail strengthener. You can get it at Whole foods or maybe a gas station if your lucky
Been there done that.
Don't worry about it, hon.
My name is Angie %26amp; I'm 14.
I have really nice, long, pretty nails.
The secret? Apply a clear coat. Yes, that simple. Lol. It works for me %26amp; my gal pals. Or you can go to a nail Studio, and ask them for the Bethany treatment? Lol. That's what I do. The Bethany treatment is a cool, Vitamin E syrum, and it spreads on.
Otherwise, don't worry. Being 12 is NOTHING like being 19
Hey!
Well, my friend has naturally long nails, and they kept on peeling and snapping off, but since she has stopped wearing nail varnish, they have become much stronger, I think there must be some sort of chemical in nail varnish to make the nails weaken.
But, if you were to use nail varnish, I think wearing a clear strengthening one would be your best bet.
Yes, your mom is right, Vitamin E does help strengthen them, you find Vitamin E in are mostly nuts like almonds, if you don't like them, just take Vitamin E supplements.
Hope I helped!
rub garlic everyday before going to bed.........my mom made me do this cuz I used to do nail biting and after that they became so weak but after doing it they became strong.......drink milk it also helps
answer mine plz

1:
Use gloves when washing dishes or using harsh chemicals. This will keep the nail bed from getting too wet and causing the nail to become weak. If you are not able to use gloves, minimize the amount of time the nails are wet and dry them immediately after they have been exposed to water for long periods of time.
2:
Apply a thin coat of clear nail hardener over fingernails at least twice a day to help make the fingernails stronger. Do this for seven days consecutively, then remove the hardener and reapply a thin coat again, starting with day number one.
3:
Drink milk or take calcium tablets daily to help the body in making the nails stronger. Even a multivitamin with a significant dose of calcium is beneficial in the effort to make fingernails stronger.
GOOD LUCK

HOW TO MAKE YOUR NAILS GROW LONGER %26amp; STRONGER!!!!
Nails are an important part of a woman's appearance. Well-kept nails say that a woman know was how to to maintain her appearance and cares about her looks. A woman who takes pride in her looks is often admired by both women and men. For these reasons, we want to keep our nails as strong and beautiful as possible, so that we can maintain that elusive appearance of sophistication
Another reason to be concerned with your nails help it because it says a lot about how your body is doing. A healthy body will produce healthy nails, no matter what. If your nails are weak and breaking it is a sign that your body is most likely lacking in nutrition to the. When your nails are doing badly, so is your health.
Obviously you'll need to improve your health in order to improve the appearance of your nails. It is a must to have a well-balanced diet, lots of water to drink and regular exercise. Without these three things, your nails will fail to thrive. The proper nutrition helps them grow long and strong, and water keeps them flexible set, and provides moisture so that they don't turn brittle. Exercise will circulate oxygen throughout your body, which helps nutrients make their way to your nails.
Now that we've covered the basics you may want to learn some more advanced ways to keep your nails healthy and beautiful.
Oil is absolutely wonderful for nails. Vegetable oils or evil oil will penetrate into your skin or nails and lock moisture in. I suggest regular cuticle and nail massages with emu oil. Doing this will keep your nails strong, lubricated and very healthy.
You may also need to rethink your nail polish habits. If you wear nail polish every single day, your nails will never get the chance to breathe because the nail polish forms a solid barrier. Nail polish and remover are also known for being very drying to your nails.
As a remedy, I suggest that for every two manicures you get, should have at least three days of ';nail polish rest'; so that your nails can have a chance to recuperate and breathe.

I PEEL (not bite) my nails. I REALLY want to stop! Help?
I have a nailbiting message board at:
http://members.aol.com/Roseb441702/nailbite.htm
Read a few of the comments and you will see that you're not alone. I'm a nailbiter myself and I think that a lot of it has to do with nerves and stress - plus a lot of people have said that its just something to do with their hands.I PEEL (not bite) my nails. I REALLY want to stop! Help?
keep a nail filer near you all the time, it helps. use a fine one otherwise you might get carried away and not have any nails.
or you could just paint themapply eyeshadow

I just put on fake nails like 15 mins ago, but can i peel them off already without hurting my real nails?
They make my nails hurt too. Take them off with acetone and let them soak off do not force anything.
If you leave them on they will stop hurting in a while. But it sounds like you have thin nails like mine if you choose to leave them on take them off in a week or two.I just put on fake nails like 15 mins ago, but can i peel them off already without hurting my real nails?
That nail glue you used sticks pretty firmly to your real nails, so if you pull them off, it will take the top layer of your nails off with them. But it'll do that anyway whether you do it now or wait awhile. If you do it right now though, it won't be a pleasant feeling, it will hurt because the nail glue is so fresh on your nails. I'd wait awhile before doing it, unless you don't mind pain.I just put on fake nails like 15 mins ago, but can i peel them off already without hurting my real nails?
No I dont think you can unless you really want to spend a lot of time with rubbing alchol taking off the glue, I wouldnt because the glue will be stuck to your nail and will stay there for about a week. But if they must come off then I guess it is possible.
no because if you do it wrong you can rip your cuticals badly and your nail may rip also with your cuticals trust i know you have to let them do it or use some nail polish and put in a bowl and put your hands in it until they come off
good luck
i think if you either soak them in acetone they'll come off. Check the back of the box and see what the label says on how to do that.
you dont have to put your hands in anything those glues arent that good so just move your fake nail up and down and it'll peel off right away
or if that doesnt work put your hand under warm water and peel it off
id say take a hot shower first, then you should be able to peel them off, but of course its going to cause a lil pain.
The oil on your nails is probably letting them slip off. you need to use a nail buffer before you glue them on
all u have to do is soak Ur fingers in warm water for about 5 to 10 minuets and they should come off easily!
soak your fingers in nail polish remover it will help slide them off easier.
use acetone=)
i wouldnt try it if i were you! it;s gonna hurt! but yeah try acetone. WHy would you do such a thing??????????
unless they are still wet. otherwise, no sorry.
dip them n nail polish and let the glue break down
why would you do that?
