Easily breakable, soft, or ridged nails? How did we get here?
Nails, like hair, are formed of Keratin. This is a protein that defends nails from physical and chemical aggressors, keeps them firm, and promotes growth. Nails are made by cells in the nail matrix (the area from which your fingernails grow from) that constantly develop and store Keratin.
The cells harden when they reach their full keratin capacity. They are then ejected by fresh cells, therefore nails grow from 3 to 5 mm per month as a result of this process.
To recap, low keratin levels = unhealthy nails. As a result, it is critical that you pay attention to the overall state of your client's nails.
Fragile nails can have a variety of symptoms, including being easily broken, soft, ridged, spilt, or showing signs of a fungal infection.
If there is a discoloration and thickening of the nail, this is probably a sure sign of one of problems.
(Did you know... that nails contain between 80-90% of keratin?)
