Brittle fingernails are generally caused by repeated wetting and drying of your fingernails. To avoid it, use gloves if you’re about to get your hands wet, specifically when washing the dishes.
Also, brittle nails might be a sign of aging. It’s well known that nails change as people get older, oftentimes becoming dull and brittle. But brittle might also appear as a sign of iron deficiency.
