6 tips to help nails grow faster and stronger

1. Don’t paint your nails all the time

Many women think that we should paint our nails all the time so that the polish can protect the nails. However, dermatologists say that applying nail polish for a long time can allow the chemicals in the polish to penetrate the nail and cause discoloration and peeling of the nails. This doesn’t mean you should give up on your nail hobby altogether, though, but taking a break from polish every now and then will benefit their overall health.

2. File your nails regularly

Nails can be broken or damaged if we do not cut them regularly, although not all tools are suitable for nail care. Nail clippers are probably the most common and easy to use tools, but they are very easy to cause cracks and splits in the nails.

In contrast, a nail file can easily shape your nails to your liking with little pressure on your nails. The secret to beautiful nails is to always file nails in one direction, back and forth movements will cause nails to fray.

3. Wear rubber gloves

Studies have confirmed that wearing latex gloves for several hours daily can damage your nails. However, the same thing can happen if you don’t wear gloves when doing housework. Not only do detergents contain harmful chemicals, but prolonged exposure to water can also weaken your nails.

4. Eat more rice

Both our health and our appearance depend greatly on the food choices we make. The same goes for nails, vitamin B found in rice is a nutrient that plays a very important role in the growth and strength of nails.

5. Avoid nail hardeners

When realizing that their nails are too thin, many people will immediately think of the solution of using nail strengtheners. However, nail strengtheners will only help your nails harden in the beginning, but in the long run, they can cause your nails to dry out, then become brittle and break easily.

6. Soak your nails in freshly squeezed orange juice

Foods rich in vitamin C are important for overall health and, of course, nail and hair growth. However, in addition to supplementing vitamin C by eating or drinking, you can also absorb them directly. To make your nails grow faster, you can try soaking them in half an orange or fresh orange juice for 10 minutes a day.
