What are some ways like homemade natural ways to make your nails grow faster?

i dont bite my nails, i use the other nails to msorta peel them off and then my nails ares shortWhat are some ways like homemade natural ways to make your nails grow faster?
I used to have soft, peeling nails so I stopped using a nail clipper and only use a nail file to shape and shorten them. I also started protecting my nails with thicker moisturizers.





I read somewhere that nail clippers can cause the layers of the nail to separate and filing is the best way to go.





I started with Revlon's disposable files made for weak nails. File in one direction only. Start on one side and file towards the middle, then go to the other side and file towards the middle of your nail. Smooth the nail into a squoval that mirrors you cuticle or the shape of the white part of your nail bed.





Finish the edges of the nail with a hindo stone, a smooth ceramic/stone nail file or the finest grit nail file you can find. You want to make the edges really smooth.





Revlon makes a tool that should work. It is a pink half moon shape and you can run it under/across the nail from side to middle.





(I have an old hindo stone but haven't been able to find a replacement at a local store. The Revlon tool might be easier for you to find.)





Also, avoid using metal nail files. I recommend using disposable nail files and changing them frequently. The fresher the grit, the less the drag which leads to tearing and peeling.





Some people swear by glass nail files but they can shatter if dropped.





I also use a cuticle balm or nail oil to moisturize my nails and protect them from water since I wash my hands frequently.


(ex. Solar Oil, OPI Avoplex)





Vit E oil, jojoba oil, Aquaphor Healing Ointment, Vaseline or plain Chapstick will work too.





Avoid products w/ formaldehyde or toluene, they are very hard on nails.What are some ways like homemade natural ways to make your nails grow faster?
Gelatin capsules can be bought at any drug store.
Eat healthy. Keep your nails trimmed and neat. File in ONE direction only (not back and forth).





Eating healthy is really the best way to improve anything physical (and emotional too). Make sure that you have enough of your dailies and you should see improvements.





Another great thing that I do (but don't know if it's just an ';Old Wives Tale';) is to tap your fingernails on something. It supposedly makes them stronger. I don't know, but I do it all the time when I'm bored and my nails are great.
it take vitamin E everyday an drink lots of milk... or prenatal vitamins will help too
I've heard about prenatal vitamins. But a great way to make your nails look white and healthy, cause sometimes peoples nails can get a yellowish color, is to soke them for 5minutes in pure lemon juice everyday. my nail tips look like I always have a french manicure! works great!!
Start taking ';Horsetail Grass'; it is very good for your nails also good for you hair also
I've hard garlic, It's suppose to make them hard. You can also dip them in milk I've heard.
