  intro: "The nail plate is not sealed. It absorbs and releases moisture constantly, and its flexibility depends entirely on whether that balance is maintained. Nails that snap under light pressure aren't inherently fragile — they're dry. The chemistry is straightforward: keratin fibres need a lipid layer between them to flex rather than fracture. Oil provides that layer. Water alone doesn't, because it evaporates and leaves nothing behind. Repeated water exposure — dishes, long showers, swimming — actually draws oil out of the plate, which is why nails that spend a lot of time submerged tend to split at the free edge rather than hold. The solution is oil applied consistently, not occasionally. Below is everything we've published on what hydration means for nails specifically, how to distinguish cuticle oil from nail oil, when to apply each, and how to know whether what you're seeing is moisture loss or something else.",

    h: "What nail hydration actually means",
    body: "Nail hydration refers to the lipid content of the nail plate — the oil-based layer that keeps keratin fibres from fracturing under flex. It is not the same as moisture in the skin sense. A plate can feel soft from water absorption and still be dehydrated in the way that matters. When the lipid layer is intact, nails bend before they break. When it's depleted, they snap cleanly at the stress point. Oil restores it. Water does not, because water doesn't replace lipids — it briefly hydrates the nail bed and then leaves when it evaporates.",

    { m: "Drinking more water hydrates your nails.",

    { m: "Soaking nails in water makes them stronger.",
      t: "Water softens the plate temporarily, but also draws out the lipid layer over time. Repeated soaking without oil follow-up depletes the moisture balance that gives nails flex." },
    { m: "Cuticle oil and nail oil are the same thing.",
