I had this happen to me. Believe it or not, a clove of garlic. Just chop in half and rub it all over the nail but specifically at the tip. It will absorb it and help make it strong and healthy.





I know, it sounds crazy, I didn't believe it either. But, honestly, my grandmother is wise for a reason.

take Vitamin E pills- its a easy pill to take every morning along with regular health pill for men or women every day you should be taking regardless- also you can get rubbing oils put them on your toenails specifically overtime you get out of the shower or bathe- rub some oil on them don't get crazy with the oil but rub it on to make it shine the oils should moisturize the nails its not a one day process healthy nails take time- if its a female use prenatal pills they are EXCELLENT for healthy nails-
I went to beauty school for hair and nails. Prenatal vits (avail over the coutner ) would help or u can take zinc and keratin supplements which is what nails are made of. file nails regularly (every 2-3 days) always file from one side to the center, don't See-Saw across nails as this causes the fibers to fray on the ends resulting in weakness.
Eat foods that are rich with calcium. And make sure that you cut them properly and when you need to, or your friend should. ;) Or you can do to the doctor and have him look at them and give you suggestions.
A good diet and geletin. Geletin is good for you nails.
your urrmmm friend should get a weekly pedicure, its only like $20-25.
