Answer 1

Protein is the best for nails, since that is what they are basically made of. Try leaving them alone for awhile. Don't file them (do it only if you have a little breakage) The oil could soften them so I wouldn't do that very often and when you do, use Vitamin E instead. And don't let them grow out too far for awhile.
It is possible that you may have an underlying condition that could be causing you to have nail problems.

Soft nails that look scooped out—called spooned nails—may indicate anemia or an iron deficiency. Nails with white spots may be a result of a zinc deficiency. If your nails are brittle and break easily, you may need more vitamin B12. Discolored nails could mean trouble with your blood sugar. Nails that separate from the nail bed may caused by a fungal infection or a thyroid problem.

Answer 2

well Im a 14 year old girl and I had the same problem..


while the nails are short you could use a buffer. this gives the nails a smooth and shiny finish. It also keeps the nails hard and strong.

every night you should use a moisturizer. Not only your skin gets dry! It will help your nails keep in moisture so they wouldn't chip.

If you study in a school where they allow nail polish use the no chip kind...


hope I helped!

Answer 3

Just buy a good brand of clear nail polish or whatever color you want. That helps them stay stronger. Also consider putting nail polish remover on them if you want to take off that color or if the color is really worn out, that also helps A LOT!

Answer 4

Try purchasing 'Faberge ceramic glaze' or Faberge Professional Intensive boost'
for nails

it will help it grow whilst adding the shield to your nail so there are no chips, breaks etc.

Answer 5

I am 15 myself and all you need is to drink a little more milk. Milk always guarantees a satisfaction in nail growth. It will help. I promise

Answer 6

the thing u've 2 do is 2 dip ur nails in like warm water mixed with salt.then the nails won't break.

Answer 7

Buy yourself a box of unflavored jello. Dissolve a package of it in a glass of water every day.and drink it. This does work, but not for at least two months. Supposed to be good for your hair also.

Answer 8

Go to a nail salon and ask them what's up.
Hope it gets better!
