All the tips above are excellent ideas but you need to combine them, or as much as you can, into one treatment. I would recommend that you file daily unti you get them to the length and shape you want - it doesn't have to be a big job, just a little rub over the edge of each is enough to take off any thin edges or breaks and keep them firm. If you get any breaks NEVER chew, and file the roughness down as soon as you can - this means that from now on a nail file goes with you wherever you go :-) When you apply the oil, it doesn't have to be castor oil, use it as a rubbing agent and give your nail beds a thorough working over. This stimulates the growth making it stronger.

Put nail hardener on every other day. Avoid using nail polish remover more than 3 times a week and after using it moisturise your nails with special oils you can buy.

An old family friend used to run vitamin E oil into her hands around the nail. I have never tried it, but she always had the longest nails. Who knows?

I know this might sound weird, but pre-natal vitamins work great!!! If you cannot get them just remember to get all your vitamins and minerals etc... And you can always get the nail polish at any drug store that will make your nails stronger.

I take essential fatty acids. I have NEVER had long nails, tried everything under the sun, finally started taking them for my general health, my hair and nails have never been better.
