The first step is finding out what type of nails you have. The three most common types are dry, brittle or depleted. a dry nail has a dull powder like finish with white spots and a rough texture when running your finger across it. Brittle nails have a curve to them as they grow. The nails will grow under. Depleted nails are very soft with peeling and slow to no nail growth to them.
