oy nails split quite easily. How do I stop this from happening?
===
Carry a file and clear nail polish at all times and keep nail glue handy to fix those “below the quick” splits until they have a chance to grow out. If a nail does split very low down and a DIY job won’t suffice, make an appointment at your nearest nail bar. They will be able to apply a silk wrap or acrylic tip over the nail and save it having to be trimmed.
