How do you get your nails to grow long?

You have to keep them moisturized. Use a hand and nail lotion every time you wash your hands. Also, you may want to get Sally Hansen Maximum Growth. Add a coat every day, and if it starts to peel or feels thick, remove and re-apply. You also have to be careful in your everyday activities, like opening doors and places your nails tend to break. You also need to wear rubber gloves when you wash dishes or do any other housework.





Keep your nails filed and even, if you get a nick, file it down. or clip it just below the nick and file it smooth.How do you get your nails to grow long?

How do you get your nails to grow long?
My nails used to be brittle and very thin and I tried all those hardening products but none of them every worked....I finally just stopped using anything on them and now they grow just fine and are hard. Also, make sure you don't ever get the fake nails at the nail shops....when you take them off they totally ruin your nails.
eat jello
make sure there is a lot of protein in your diet


it helps your nails%26amp;hair healthier


soaking nails in warm water believe it or not


makes them grow faster


use a clear nail polish with enamel and protein


in it to give your longer nails strength so they


arn't flimsy%26amp;drink lots of water.





good luck!
don't chew, and also go to the drugstore and get some clear nail polish, and put it on daily it can prevent them from breaking. good luck!!!!
take a multi vitamin eat right keep rubber gloves on when cleaning!
This should be the best answer, in my opinion. Sally Hansen nail enamels and treatments. Always wear gloves when doing household chores, i.e. washing dishes. After either washing your hands or taking a bath/shower, apply cuticle oil on your cuticles and nails. The water and the oil will add moisture to your nails and cuticles. Best oil on the market, Creative Nail Solar Oil. I recommend it a lot. Eating healthy, adding calcium, drinking lots of water, and a taking a vitamin supplement will help with nail growth.





Things you should avoid:


Never use your nails as tools


Don't bite your nails


Never saw your nails when filing. Instead, start from either side of the nail tip and file towards the center


Steer clear from nail polishes and hardeners that contain Toulene and Formeldehyde. They are very drying, and makes the nails brittle.


And lastly, at all costs, stay away from artificial nails.





I know all these because I used to study Cosmetology 20 years ago, and Nails are my strong subject. I'm growing my natural nails as I speak. And these tips that I'm sharing with you will help you have longer nails in no time.





One more thing to add. Since Keratin is a protein composite that's in your nails and hair, make sure your diet includes lots of protein, whether it's from an animal or plant source.
Make sure you have a lot of protein...





then go to like a Sally Hansen or whatever place and buy some clear coat with green tea, or try soaking your fingers for five minutes each day in freshly brewed green tea...warmer preferably...then you can groom your nails too...keep your cuticles short...broken parts of nails clipped/buffed off, and whatever else you need to do in order to keep your nails looking their best even when they're short.
If you are a nail biter, put nail polish on your nails so you don't bite them. Or you can try a length and strenthening polish remover.
I use this clear polish called ';.25 Rescu';. It is Biotin enriched. I put that on and leave it one for a few days, then I remove it and put a new coat on. You can wear it over colored nail polish too. I recommed a colored nail polish that is designed to strengthen nails, like ';Sally Hansen-Hard as Nails';.
This may not be the quick fix answer you want to hear, but the best way to have healthy, long nails is to eat correctly and get enough sleep. It may take a little while, but if you change up your lifestyle a little bit you will notice a change in not only your nails, but your entire body.





Try not to bite or pick at your nails, and whatever you do, don't try a lengthening solution for your nails. This dries them out and makes them brittle!
Dont bite them, clip them, dont go get a manicure, dont put fake nails on them, and when you go to the pool keep your nails in alot and the chemicals make them grow longer but it takes a while trust me. i really dont know if theres any nail stuff for it.
Nails and hair are made of protein. Eat more protein. Or get enamel on them so they do not break.
Massage them everyday at least 2-3 times a day, with baby oil.
My problem was that I was using hand lotion and it apparently dried out my nails I started using vaseline instead and within a week the nail splits and peeling stopped, First time in years I now have strong long nails.
drink milk!!
