Nail Strengthening

catflea

Hi,

any tips for improving nail strength? Mine are a bit flimsy at the moment. I've been using various nail hardening solutions for a while, but they are having very little effect.

Suggestions for "exercises" and good quality products much appreciated

Use handcream often and rub into the nails. Or even use vaseline. Anything to add some moisture to them.

To be honest I find any kind of product - varnish etc - dries them out and makes them even worse!

my nails have really improved by putting olive oil onto cotton wool and applying. The nails seem to drink it in and the flakiness and weakness has improved greatly. Keeping them short while you're trying to improve your nails is a very good idea too. Good luck.
