Nail Growth Ideas

• Rub the fingernails of one hand across the nails of the other hand for about 5 minutes each day. This will increase nail growth.
• Strong cleaning products and the sun can break your nails. Use a sun block cream while going out into the sun. While doing household chores use a pair of gloves. Use a good moisturizer on your hands each night before going to bed.
• Corners of your nail should not be filed. Filing them will weaken the nail and they will break easily.
• Food rich in potassium, iron, calcium and vitamin B are especially good for your nails. Almonds, garlic, spinach celery, yogurt, eggs and seafood are good for your nails.
• Drinking insufficient water can cause your nails to break.
• If your nails are brittle then do not use perfumes that contain alcohol, as this will further deteriorate the condition of your nails.
• Use four fingers of the opposite hand and knead each finger from the tip to the bottom of each finger. It will relax your fingers.
• Almonds contain fatty acids that are good for your nail. Eat 6 almonds a day and your nails will visibly improve.
• To prevent yourself from biting your nails, make a paste of the gel from one fresh aloe leaf by double boiling it in a pan. Put into a jar and apply this paste on your nails to prevent biting. Ingesting too much of this paste will cause vomiting.
• To encourage nail growth massage the cuticle and nail with your finger tips.

• Don't wash dishes without wearing a pair of rubber gloves.
• Do not pick at your nail polish, as you will damage the nail.
• Don't let your nails grow too long as they will break easily.
• Don't use your nails as tools as this will weaken your nail.
• Don't go out in public with chipped polish.
• Remember to moisturize your cuticles every night.
