FIrst...: ...Make sure there is no underlying internal cause for your weak nails, such as an under- or over-active thyroid. Then, keep your hands away from soap and water and harsh chemicals as much as possible. Take biotin (one of the b vitamins), about 5000 units per day. Eat a healthy diet.

Vasaline and biotin: One of the greatest problems with weak or brittle nails is dehydration of the nail plate. Whenever your hands get wet, whether after showering or washing, try rubbing in vaseline petroleum jelly to your finger nails while they're still soaking wet. Then towel dry. In addition, take biotin (part of the vitamin b complex), 5000 each day. These simple practices will give great results.
