Can I Make My Nails Grow Faster?

Do you look at all the Insta-worthy manicures online and feel a twinge of envy? You might if your nails just won’t grow. If yours are bitten down or they’re just weak and keep snapping, here are some hacks to help your nails grow faster.

Nail strength starts on the inside

If you want strong nails that actually grow, your diet is the first place to start. Yes you can add nail-nourishing nutrients with nail treatments, but there’s no substitute for getting the nutrients you need from your food. But where do you start? Biotin.

You’ll find it in every hair and nail supplement on the market and for good reason. It promotes cell growth and help metabolise the amino acids your nails need to grow. Consume meat, eggs, nuts, seeds, and legumes and you’ll get plenty of this nutrient.

Use nail treatments

As well as getting all the right nutrients from your diet, you can give your nails a bit of extra help by using a good treatment. Nails are made up of a protein called keratin which helps nails grow faster and keeps them healthy. Invest in a treatment like CND RescueRXx Daily Keratin Treatment to restore nail health and length.

When it comes to nail treatments, we can’t ignore cuticle oil. Just a few drops daily nourishes the nails and cuticles and helps nails grow strong and long. From traditional brush on cuticle oils to convenient nail treatment pens with jojoba oil, you’ll find a treatment in our range to get your daily fix.

Get into good nail care habits

If you want to grow your nails, using a good quality buffer will help. Buffing your nails increases circulation to the nail bed which makes nails grow faster. As well as using your cuticle oil, use a nourishing hand cream often and protect your nails from water and harsh chemicals. Immerse your nails in water too often and they’ll weaken. Harsh chemicals will dry them out and dry nails are brittle nails that don’t grow.

Be patient!

Nails won’t go from zero to inspiring nail envy overnight. You’ll need to persevere with a good diet, a good nail care routine, and the right treatments. Nails grow around 2-3mm per month, which sounds painfully slow if you’re dying for your nails to grow. But when they get there, all the effort is worth it.
