    Default finger nail growth

    I was wondering if anyone knows the best way to strengthen and grow nails. Lately my nails have been splitting and peeling causing me to keep them very short. Im not interested in going the fake route, I would just like nails the dont split and peel so I can grow them out a liitle bit. Any advice?

    Take a multivitamin, or a vitamin made especially for hair, skin, and nails, to strenghten them from the inside. Then use clear nailpolish or a nail-strengthening basecoat on your nails to keep them from peeling and to help strengthen them from the outside.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    I always wear nail polish with a good quality bas coat and also take a multi vitamin. Now my nails are long, but they still sometimes break.

    Biotin will help your nails and hair. Also there is product you can buy at the nail salon called revivanail by Signature. It works wonders for your nails. Mine would chip and split before and since I have been using this product I have to file them down to keep them from getting too long.

    I am not sure if guys can post to this section dealing with body business of dancers but I thought I had something to contribute to this...so here's hoping I don't get spanked...

    For nail growth and strengthening, take a supplement available from GNC stores. It has oodles of Niacin. Niacin is the best thing for nail growth...when I was taking it I had to cut my nails twice a week to keep them short.

    here's a link to GNC's site:

    To make your nails grow. The only thing you have to do is push your cuticals back. (the little skin on top between the nail and big skin). Do it with something sharp. like a pen or the end of the fingernail filer. it grows qick

    Try the Wal-Mart hair pills or Hair, Skin, & Nails vitamins (that is what they are called). I take both and my nails are growing like crazy!

    Silica gel. The brand I use is Original Silicea Balsam. Stir one table spoon into a glass of water or juice each day. Silica deficiency can result in brittle and weak hair and nails.

    You definatly need more minerals in your diet if your nails are that poor! Take calcium, magnesium and zinc suppliments as well as some multi vitamins, it should do the trick.

    BTW, how did the word "fianger" wind up in the thread title? The "a" key is nowhere near the "i" or the "n." I can't figure out how that "a" got in there, although there's something delightfully silly about the sound of the word "fianger."

    If you push back your cuticles, make sure you do it with something clean, preferably something disinfected so that you don't cause infection. And never, ever cut your cuticles- this is a surefire way to get an infection.

    It must be time for me to go to bed. I keep looking at "fianger" and giggling hysterically. You're right, it makes me think of mountain men, which makes it even funnier in light of the thread topic. I can't stop giggling at this.

    Sorry, I get silly when I'm sleepy. Guess I'll go on to bed. <giggle>

    Could be that your nails are a little dry from over washing. I was told to use a good moisturizer after drying my hands, whenever possible, and then again, a thick layer at night. It's only been about 2 weeks, and my nails look fabulouse. Today I painted them with Sally Hanson maximum growth, in "wonderful white" and they look like I've just had a manicure.

    Diet is the first thing you need to look at. I find my nails break if I use too much acetone on them. I usually moisturise and manicure them instead of putting on polish. I also buff the tips after I file them so there is nothing to catch on anything, be more aware of what you do with your hands, opening cans, doing up metal zips etc can tear nails if your heavy handed with them.

    As everyone else said, you need to take a multivitamin, prenatals are great. You can also use a product called Nailtiques. In a matter of two months of using it you will notice your nails will look damn comparable to set of french manicured acrylics. Apply daily. Remove the polish once a week and start over with a fresh coat.
