whats the best thing to make your nails grow?

Answer 1

Multi-Vitamins

Answer 2

The best thing is to make a real commitment to do what will have to be done. A lot of women want to grow their nails long but are not willing to put in the time and effort. As they say, nothing worth having comes easily - including nice, long nails.

1)Use a brush-on nail hardening product; there are many and some are suggested in these answers. A decent one at a discount drug store will be about $5.00. You should put on about 3 coats, letting each coat completely dry before adding the next. Most importantly you must KEEP the stuff on your nails at all times. If it chips you must get more on there asap: it only takes a second to break or split a nail that is unprotected and then you're back to square one. If you do this diligently you'll give your nails a real chance to grow long.
2) I have noticed that after I had been taking the nutritional supplement glucosamine with chondroitin that my nails (and hair) began growing like gangbusters after about 2 months. I have heard other say this, also.

Good luck!

Caring for your nails

No nail care product alone can give you healthy nails. But following these simple guidelines can help you keep your nails looking their best:

Don't abuse your nails. To prevent nail damage, don't use your fingernails as tools to pick, poke or pry things.
Don't bite your nails or pick at your cuticles. These habits can damage the nail bed. Even a minor cut alongside your nail can allow bacteria or fungi to enter and cause an infection (paronychia). Because your nails grow slowly, an injured nail retains signs of an injury for several months.
Protect your nails. Wear cotton-lined rubber gloves when using soap and water for prolonged periods or when using harsh chemicals.
Perform routine nail maintenance. Trim fingernails and clean under the nails regularly. Use a sharp manicure scissors or clippers and an emery board to smooth nail edges. Never pull off hangnails — doing so almost always results in ripping living tissue. Instead clip hangnails off, leaving a slight angle outward.
Moisturize your nails frequently. Nails need moisture just like your skin does. Rub lotion into your nails when moisturizing your hands. Be sure to apply a moisturizer each time you wash your hands

If you rely on manicures to make your nails look good, keep a few things in mind. Don't have your cuticles removed — it can lead to nail infection. Also, check to be sure that your nail technician properly sterilizes all tools used during your manicure. Using unsterilized tools may transmit viral infections, such as hepatitis B or warts.

Weak or brittle fingernails can be a challenge to toughen up. The following tips can help you protect them, making your nails less likely to split or break.

Keep your nails short, square shaped and slightly rounded on top. Trim brittle nails after a bath or a 15-minute hand-soak in bath oil. Then apply a moisturizer.
Moisturize your nails and cuticles at bedtime and cover them with cotton gloves.
Apply a nail hardener, but avoid products containing toluene sulfonamide or formaldehyde. These chemicals can cause redness or irritate the skin.
Don't use nail polish remover more than twice a month. Instead, touch up the polish. When you do need a remover, avoid those that use acetone, which dries nails.
Repair splits or tears with nail glue or clear polish.
Dietary changes that supposedly strengthen nails don't work. Unless you're deficient in protein — rare among people in the United States — adding protein to your diet won't strengthen your nails. Similarly, soaking your nails in gelatin won't help either.

Answer 4

Hi, I used Flax Seed to help with my nails. It also helped my hair grow and become shinier and healthier. You can buy flax seed oil or the seeds. Talk to someone at a health food store There is also a product called Witchcraft that you can buy, it is a clear nail polish. When you apply it on your nails it is best to put on layer length wise and then across. It makes it stronger. I have been a nail biter forever, so I can relate. Good luck.

Answer 5

I've heard that to make your nails grow, eat more potatoes. No joke. I have a friend that eats a ton of potatoes and her hair AND nails grow really quick.

Answer 7

Prenatal vitamins. I had the strongest longest nails ever while taking them.

Answer 8

gelatin......it works. It makes the nails and hair grow. Eating it works too, but I soak my hands in unflavored, pure gelatin (not jello). Makes them really strong.

Answer 9

A little bit of nail is fine... but I agree together with you. Long nails are kinda low.
