They just say its aging of the nails and there is nothing you can do about it. Mine haven't gone away. I just wear my nails short. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-splitting-in-half#post-1121200 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 10:26:53 +0000 Foodnerd81 1121200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: I did that and it eventually grew back with the crack anyway. I keep my nails short so I don't worry about it anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-splitting-in-half#post-1121190 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 10:21:31 +0000 lindseykaye 1121190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I've seen a tutorial using nail glue and tissue paper for fixing nail breaks really close to the nailbed so that sounds like a great solution to keep it together/attached while it grows out more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-splitting-in-half#post-1121147 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 10:08:35 +0000 chopsuey 1121147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: It might be caused by a vitamin deficiency..? I would ask your doctor about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-splitting-in-half#post-1121133 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 10:05:26 +0000 pinkcupcake 1121133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw a horizontal crack in the middle of my big toenail last month :( I'm keeping a bandage over it so it's covered and doesn't snag on anything. Hoping it'll just grow out so I can trim off the cracked part, but it looks like half the nail is gonna fall out :( Ick. I don't know how it happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-splitting-in-half#post-1121132 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 10:05:16 +0000 mrs. wagon 1121132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nooooo!!!! that is my nightmare!!! I would cut it as short as I could get it and put a band aid on it. Maybe go to a nail salon and have them glue it to keep it from getting worse? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-splitting-in-half#post-1121112 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 10:01:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 1121112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My right pinky nail always grows in with a vertical slit. It's really annoying because it catches on stuff, but I bet it is even more annoying on your thumb. I have no idea why it does that but it has for years. I've glued a bit of tissue and nail glue to keep it smooth for a manicure but mostly just file it short. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nail-splitting-in-half#post-1121102 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 09:58:59 +0000 mrsjyw 1121102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i noticed a vertical line in my thumbnail a few months ago and was hoping it'd go away. about a month ago, i noticed it had cracked! now there's a split that i'm hoping will grow out but no matter how much i file the vertical line down the center isn't going away and i feel like the nail is doomed to split when it it's the breakign point near the top of my nail!!!</p> <p>any experience? how to fix it?!?!?! </p>
