How To Grow Long And Healthy Nails Fast
April 13, 2009
It’s not difficult to have those long and strong nails and keep them well-groomed for lasting impressions. Observe the following and be successful in achieving that.
Give up that unhealthy practice of biting your nails. Not only does it create a bad appearance and impression, it retards the growth, thus taking nails too long to grow. Chipping might cause them to break and should be avoided.
Make it a regular practice to bathe your nails in salt water. Add a spoonful or two of salt in boiled water and dissolve the salt into it. After the solution has become lukewarm, keep your nails dipped in it. Salt nourishes your nails and helps them grow fast. You should do this at least 3-4 times a week, if you don’t have time to do it everyday. Just before retiring for the night is a very convenient time for carrying out this activity.
Having thus soaked your nails for 10-15 minutes until the salt water has gone cold, take out your manicure kit and remove your cuticles. You will find that these come off very easily when your nails and fingers are still warm.
You should be cautious not to cut the nail bed. Next you may buff away any leftover cuticles by making use of a nail buffer. If need be, you may go ahead and file your nails to get the desired shape, be it regular, or square or round. Simultaneously, you may remove any disproportionate lengths of nails.
Apply Burt’s Bees butter lemon cuticle cream following step three. This grand product nourishes your nails. For effective results, the cream needs to be massaged on your nails for a while. This process of massaging and rubbing contributes to faster growth of your nails.
You should be aware that vitamin E is good for your bones, and nails are but a form of bone. Nourish you nails regularly with this much-needed vitamin that’s available in easy-to-use capsules. Tear off the cap of the capsule and apply the contents on your nails, simultaneously massaging the same.
It is desirable to carry a nail file with you. In the event of your nail getting broken or chipped off, you should make use of the nail file to make even the damaged nail to prevent it from getting harmed any further. Any time you wash your hands, you must wipe them off, for dryness causes dehydration of nails that causes them to peel off.
