Are you one of those who always gets disappointed when you are gearing up for a party? You would have planned to flaunt the most trending nail art, but one of your nails would have split at the last minute, making it impossible to sport that look you so desired. Or else, you would have planned to let your free flowing hair loose over your shoulders, but it would have turned into a messy bedizenment of wiggly fallen hair all over the back of your dress. You would also have had to do heavy makeup to conceal the puffiness of your eyes due to lack of sleep.
Do not blame your genes for your nail/hair quality. You might be having onychoschizia (brittle nails), alopecia (hair loss) or insomnia (lack of sleep).
