They are both proteins and keratin, so nails and hair are both made of the same things, just different feels.

Fingernails are made of a special kind of protein called keratin, the same kind of stuff that a cow’s hoofs and horns are made of.
There are many different kinds of proteins. You need the protein of meat or milk or plant seeds in your diet. But don’t chew your fingernails. You can’t digest the keratin protein.

I'm positive that it is neither of those. It's a substance called Keratin, neither bone or hair. Who's idea was hair. But yeah, it's neither.

They are made of a substance called keratin, which also makes up the horns of some animals.
