Long,strong natural nails?

My nails grow really slowly and weak. They grow a little bit and then they break. What can i do or use to help then grow stronger and healthier?





Thanks :)Long,strong natural nails?
Getting your nails to grow fast is really about taking care of them and keeping them healthy. Nails grow about 1/8 inch per month but what keeps nails from getting long is more about nail damage and poor nail care than about slow growth.





Shape your nails from the outside edge toward the middle, moving the emery board in one direction only rather than sawing it back and forth which damages the nail. Soaking nails in warm, soapy water before pushing cuticles back makes for less scraping on the nail bed (the pink part of the nail).





Condition nails with the same hand cream used on hands.Keeping nail polish on will keep nails from splitting, tearing or cracking. When doing a manicure, choose a nail shape that is wide and more square which is less apt to break, rather than a pointier oval shape. Using an oily nail polish remover will also help.





Eat a balanced diet to prevent vitamin deficiencies that create unhealthy nail conditions such as peeling, splitting or brittle nails. Don't fuss with your nails all the time as over filing can cause weakening and other nail problems.





Apply a strengthening clear polish to your nails regularly, even if you do not usually paint your nails.





Avoid submerging your hands in water if possible. For example, wear rubber gloves when doing dishes.





Calcium always helps. You can get calcium from a multi-vitamin or from a specific calcium supplement. The other thing I've found works REALLY well is gelatin. Gelatin is found in Jello, but in order to get the amount you need to grow long nails.

theres this wonderful stuff i use called Nail teck you can find it in most beauty supply stores or nail salons...apply once every other day and watch how strong your nails feel, and when they are strong they grow fast...hope you like it.
Prenatal vitamins! I think that pregnant women have stronger nails because of the vitamins.
Sure, Nutri Nail Gel Strengthener. Trim your nails back and get a good manicure or give your self one. The gel nail strengthener can be used as a base coat, then apply two coats of color and use the gel again as a top coat. Apply a fresh coat of the Nutri Nail Strengthener everyday and do manicures once every week or so. Wear gloves when doing housework or using chemicals. There are also vitamins you can purchase to strengthen nails. For how to give yourself a manicure check here: http://beauty.about.com/cs/gorgeousnails鈥?/a>
There's a product called Trind that worked on my nails. I had tried large doses of Biotin, gelatin, other nail treatments like Sally Hanson and just about anything anyone told me, without success. The Trind is a paint on nail repair and I had to order it. http://www.trind.ca/
