Does anyone have any ideas how I can strengthen my finger nails?

Question

I've bitten my nails all my life and have only recently managed to grow a few inches off my finger tips but they are very soft. What is best: nail treatments or tablets?

Answer 1

go to the salon..they have some oils that works like magic...

Answer 2

Drink milk. It doesn't only strengthen your nails, but your bones and your hair to make you healthier.

Answer 3

i have tried everything you can buy at the store (like Sally Hansen) and never had any luck.  i have very brittle and slow-growing nails that were breaking almost every single day.  i got a nail strengthener made by Barella's (spelling might be wrong); it used to be used for horse hooves.  and that for me is a plus.  it smells great and it works.  but you have to be diligent about it - that is, keep putting it on every day, sometimes several times a day.  however it doesn't get used up fast, i still have my first container, so it's a good bargain.  my nails have stopped breaking.  you can even use it when you have polish on.  

Answer 4

Sally Hansen has some nail hardner that i used for when i stopped biting my nails and now they are nice. So try that.

Answer 5

You got some good suggestions.  Also, my manicurist says to keep your hands out of the water as much as possible and "moisturize, moisturize, moisturize".

Answer 6
