I have a problem. I always had very good nails and hair till my menopause. Now my hair is very dry and mostly my fingernail are brittle. Any suggestions what should I do?
If you have brittle nails, you should keep the nails short and avoid nail polish. You should use an emollient (skin softening) cream after washing or bathing.
Brittle nails could also be a cause of vitamin definiency. Take vitamin C and B 6. one more thing, brittle nails indicate iron deficency. brittle nails may also indicate thyroid problems, problems with circulation or kidneys.
