Having brittle nails that are prone to breaking and chipping means you’d never be able to flaunt those elegant French tips and trendy nail arts. Keep your nails in tiptop shape by giving them extra care and attention. Here are some handy tips to maintain strong nails:
- File in one direction. Avoid filing in a back-and-forth motion to keep your nails strong.
- Never file wet nails. Don’t file your nails when you’ve just gotten out of bath.
- Massage your nails to increase blood supply and stimulate nail growth.
- A glass of milk and a hard-boiled egg each day provides the calcium needed for strong nails.
- Take biotin, a B vitamin, four to six times a day. It works wonders not only on your nails but also on your tresses.
- Use nail strengtheners or nail creams.
