Do you fancy long and strong nails? Well, who doesn’t! but guess what! it’s not easy to achieve the nails of your dreams. But it’s not impossible. A few tips and tricks can help to grow some beautiful nails which are not just beautiful but equally strong. Here are a few tips that you can follow.
1. Lemon juice
Vitamin C is considered to be really helpful in the growth of nails. All you need is a lemon wedge and you just need to rub it on your finger nails and toe nails, at least once a day. Rub it for five minutes and then rinse it with warm water. It will help your nails to grow and it will also keep them clean and bacteria free.
2. Coconut oil
Massaging your nails with warm coconut oil can promote nail growth. Coconut oil is filled with Vitamin E and is a great source of antioxidants. Massage your finger nails with coconut oil every night before sleep and you will eventually see the difference.
3. Orange juice
Oranges helps in collagen production. Collagen is an important agent that helps in nail growth and adds to the vitality of nails. The antioxidant properties of orange also keep any infections at bay. Take some orange juice in a bowl and soak your nails for around 10 minutes. Rinse it with warm water and moisturise effectively. Try to do this once a day at least for desired results.
4. Olive oil
If you have damaged, brittle nails, then olive oil is your best bet. Being easily permeable in nature, olive oil reaches the inner layer of your nails, soothes it and cures it of all dryness. It also aids in blood circulation and helps in nail growth. Warm up some virgin olive oil and gently massage your nails and cuticles for around five minutes. Cover your hands with gloves and let it rest overnight.
5. Cut down on gel and acrylic nails
Nail art, gel and acrylic nails look attractive. However, these acrylic and gel nails prevent the strengthening and growth of your nails. Getting your nails done with gel or acrylics once in a while is okay. But regularly using nail art, acrylics and gels deteriorate the quality and growth of your nails.
