The splitting of nails is usually caused by physical stress, wear and tear, chronic nail biting, thyroid diseases, and nutritional deficiency. Iron, proteins, biotin, calcium, vitamin D, and Vitamin B are essential nutrients for the strength and growth of nails. A lack of these nutrients causes nail splitting. Work that includes chronic pressure on the nails is the other cause of the splitting of nails. Thyroid disorders also cause brittle nails. This can be prevented by taking essential nutritional supplements, treating the underlying disease, and applying nail lacquer to avoid physical trauma. Nails can be protected by applying moisturizer for dryness and gloves can be worn to avoid physical trauma to the nails.Q&A: Fingernail Healthmicrosoftstart.msn.com Split Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
