8. Smoothing Horizontal Grooves And Ridges Over Time
Horizontal grooves and ridges can be smoothed over time with a combination of proper nutrition and regular care. Ensure your diet includes sufficient vitamins and minerals, particularly iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which are essential for healthy nail growth.
