How to prevent or stop hair and nail loss?

Well, in my case, being Black as well with thick hair; I keep my hair in medium sized box braids as it gets longer, I keep it moist with grease. I haven’t permed my hair in a while but I wash it every so often.

For the nail loss, are ya nails like disappearing or are you biting them?

Nails: I don’t know so much them but this is what I found:

1. Keep nails short but smart until they regain their strength, this shouldtake about a month or two.

Keep them moisturised, but dont leave them in water. If you wear gloves todo the washing up, wear cotton ones underneath to soak up the moisture.

Keep hands out of the bath and dry them immediately after washing them.

2. I found this site as well that has a bunch of “what it could bes”: http://askville.amazon.com/fingernails-break-lot/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=7301622 [diet, vitamins, nail strengtheners, etc.]
