Weak hair and nails??

Question

My nails always peel and break. My hair is so sensitive and breaks in the middle so easily. I condition my hair alot .. and that seems to help . BUt, I am beginning to link the two and thinking I might be missing something. I tried" hair,skin and nails" (1 bottle) and didnt really see any results. My friend told me to drink a cup of milk every night. Should I try that? What makes your hair and nails stronger?? Any Specific drink or vitamin I could take?

How long should I take the pre natal vitamins before I see results?

Answer 1

Try some biotin.

Answer 2

There are specific vitamins on the market for hair and nails, and they work had the same problems, but one bottle is not enough, 3 months minimum, at for your nails extra calcium, hair I would go to a good hairdresser and have some volume cut into it and make sure not dead ends, wish you luck!

Answer 3

Eating a healthy diet might help. Things with vitamin E and Calcium are good places to start. Almonds are good, dairy is good. With your hair, you might be over-conditioning. Too much conditioner weighs down your hair and may cause it to break. Choose either a lighter conditioner, or don't use as much. For your nails, put on nail polish. The nail polish helps strengthen nails as long as it is on.

Answer 4

I have weak hair and nails, after having a child and taking pre-natal vitamins my nails and hair got really strong. Now I take generic prenatal vitamins I buy at Family Dollar or Wal-Mart. Anywhere vitamins are sold and my nails and har are extremmely strong. My grandmother always kept a lemon and rubbed it into her cuticle every day and let me tell you she drew blood when she pinched you!
Give it a try.

Answer 5

Hair and nail products wont help. Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet and take multivitamins like Centrum once a day after meal..that is a healthy supplement in case your body is lacking some nutrients it needs to function well and remain healthy. In like three months-time you'll see some changes and some new hair strands will be visible too...

Answer 6

Get you some prenatal vitamins - I think you may be able to buy some brands over the counter. They will help with nails & hair. Unfortunately I think most of this is probably genetic.

Answer 7

Are you getting enough protein in your diet? Your hair and nails are made of protein, my nails get weak sometimes, and i take pre-natal vitamins, like one every two or three days they really make your nails long and hard, and your hair grow. hope it helps

Answer 8

Nails get brittle if there is a deficency of Zinc and calcium. eat lots of fresh friuts and veg for healthy hairs.
u can massage ur hair with some good hair oil or warm olive oil. leave the oil in hair overnight and wash nxt day.
for nails, u can try dipping ur hands in warmolive oil and then wear gloves afterwards. keep hands in gloves overnight. this wud really help making ur nails strong. also, use a nail varnish for weak and brittle nails. this has really halped me to grow my nails healthy. manicure them regularly, and keep them painted with good paint.

Answer 9

Vitamin E is what helps your skin, hair and nails healthy.

Answer 10

Calcium supplements, perhaps?

As for your hair, I learned a tip from my stylist about helping dry hair: Look for products with ingredients that end in "-cone" (as in silicone), which will protect delicate, brittle hair. I like Infusium 23 products, myself.

Answer 11

Prenatal vitamins.
