Nails curl when dry 🦅

The first set of photos are my nails after a shower and heavy oiling, the other photos are what my nails do when they dry out. They curl so severely they can cover my fingertips! 🦅
I oil them like a madwoman probably at least 5-10x a day especially after the shower in hopes of keeping them hydrated, but it’s obviously not enough. I watch them dry out and curl over the hours. They’re getting to a length where they start breaking and chipping now, and I really want to learn how to preserve the length and hopefully correct the curling I just don’t know where to start. I’d imagine I should use some kind of strengthening base coat to protect with polish, but will this stick to nails that have been heavily oiled? Should I apply polish while they are super hydrated in hopes of preventing the curl as they dry? TYIA!

Product: Cuticle & nail oil from my local salon, possibly by Aveda but unsure.

Where I started & where I’m at. What’s next??

Started with faded old color treated dark brown and after a heafftttyyy bleach session I’m full of mostly oranges and golds with some pretty hot roots especially on the back of my head. I was planning on another round of bleach tomorrow to try and get light enough for a wella T15 beige blonde with a 7n shadow root, but now I’m wondering if I should just use the 7n Demi permanent on my whole head to play it safe for a more reliable result. My hair is in decent shape still but I don’t want to push it too far! Thoughts? Wwyd?

Maybe let’s not pull over in residential areas to take a piss where everyone can see you from their living room couches, proceed to pull an illegal U-turn then burn rubber on the way out of the neighborhood. Based on THAT car, those pants and accompanying bald spot, I’m not very surprised by this behavior. Still it’s absolutely disgusting. There are plenty of shops within a half mile with public restrooms.
