I have been growing my nails out, and they got quite long, until today. I keep a nail file around at all times, even in the car, so that if I get a jagged edge, small split, etc that I can file it away without cutting my nails. I have been using Sally Hansen's "4 in 1" which is awesome.
Today I noticed that I had a split in one nail. Not verticle down the middle, but horizontal. It's wouldn't get better by filing it and continued to split across near the top. Unfortunately I had to cut it off, and have that nail down to my finger again. real short. And then another one did the same. So not wanting to go with 2 short and 8 long, I decided to clip them all and start very short again so they all grow at the same pace.
My questions:
- Is there any way to prevent this (splitting)? I am not using fake nails; they destroy my naturals.
-Should I reapply my 4 in 1 more often? Right now I'm only doing it 1x a week.
