Hello everyone, did you miss me, actually I miss you all a lot, today I want to talk about nails and what you can do and how to grow your nails fast. This post was requested by many readers so this is for you and here it is.
So our nails are made up of proteins specifically keratin and that’s the same protein that we need for our skin and hairs, this protein protects our nail from breaking or cracking. When new nails cells are formed they link up with the nails and push out the old ones but sometimes this process may be affected for a number of reasons biting your nails, having a poor diet, using nail polish that loaded with harsh chemicals, not trimming them properly and the list goes on and on.
But don’t way today I am going to share some important tips and natural ways to grow your nails fast, stronger and healthier.
How to Grow Your Nails Fast

Six Important Tips to Grow Your Nails Fast
- So first and most important thing to get healthier nails is to drink lot of water, if you get enough water it shows up in your skin, hairs and even in your nails too. Try to get 8 to 10 glasses of water a day.
- The next important thing is to moisturize, so its winter right now so it makes your skin dry and also makes your nails to be dry. Dry nails are more prone to break since they are brittle, it’s still important to moisturize in summer, so moisturize your hands and your nails very well.
- You have to make changes into your diet, make sure you should eat those foods which are rich in protein remember our nails are made up of proteins so it’s important to have it in our diet. So eat lot of chicken, fish, eggs, nuts, drink protein shakes and make sure eat lots of fruits and vegetables. We need all the nutrients in order to have healthy nails.
- Sometimes we may need some supplement to give us what we are lacking; something which I take every single morning for my nails and hairs is zinc. Zinc is vital for our skin, hairs and nails many parts of our body require it and ever since I start taking zinc my nails start growing super fast. But remember to consult with your doctor before you take any kind of supplement.
- This important tip is for those who paint their nails and also I included, a lot of nail polishes contain harmful chemicals that really damage your nails, we want to avoid nail polish that contains chemicals like formaldehyde, toluene and sulfonamide, they all are very toxic bad for your health and also bad for your nails. So look for nail polish brand that are non toxic such as Essie, O.P.I, butter London and many more I know these are pricy but they are defiantly worth it.
- My last tip is to trim your nails on regular basis, just like we trim our hair, it’s important to trim our nails to get rid of the old and weak parts. You only want to leave a little bit white tip of the nails, one more thing you should never ever trim your cuticles because this will increase the risk of infection. Cuticles are there for reason and that is to protect our nails, you simply just push back them and that’s it.
I recommend doing these remedies every night, remember everybody nails grow at different rates but I really believe that these remedies and combined with the tips that I have shared can really make a difference in your nails.
