What techniques can you use to strengthen your nails?

Question

Besides the stuff you can buy at a store.

Answer 1

Gelatin capsules are made to strengthen nails and they improve the hair as well. You simply pop a couple (they're no bigger than a Tylenol gel cap) every day and before long you should notice stronger nails...or perhaps you won't notice as they'll simply stop chipping, slitting and breaking. Either way it's mission accomplished. As to where you might find some, I'd look at your local drug store or maybe where you'd find vitamins and supplements. Good luck.

Answer 2

Use a nail hardener like Sally Henson's Hard as Nails and take a good multivitamin everyday. I take centrum. Stay away from fake nails or acrylic overlays, they look nice for a couple of weeks but they look HORRIBLE when they need to be filled in. They also weaken your nails a lot! Many people get acrylic and claim it's their "real" nails. Not true! Anything that requires a fill in is not real. Try to get manicures as often as possible or do it yourself. This keeps your cuticles neat and the hand massage they give you aids the blood circulation in your hands and stimultes growth. Also wear gloves when you wash dishes. Good luck!

Answer 3

Drink slim-fast just as a supplement, the protein in it will strengthen your nails.
