does anybody have any tips to help speed up growth?How can i grow my nails longer in a month's time?
1. Don't use your nails as tools.


Rather than using your nails use other parts of your hand, or a pen, to perform tasks like dialing the phone. Don't pick, poke or scrape with your nails and especially avoid opening soft drink cans with your nails.





2: Wear gloves.


Detergents are particularly harsh on your nails and can cause splitting and peeling. Wear gloves when washing dishes or cleaning. You should also wear gloves when gardening to protect your nails from infection and prevent dryness, damage, and loss of natural oils.





3: Don't bit your nails or pick at your cuticles.


Aside from the obvious reason of biting shortening your nails these habits can damage the nail bed. Even a minor cut alongside your nail can allow bacteria or fungi to enter the nail bed and cause an infection. Remember your nails grow slowly so an injured nail retains signs of damage for several months.





4: Look after your cuticles.


The cuticle is a barrier that keeps bacteria from the nail matrix, where new cells are generated, so it should not be cut or trimmed. On the other hand you do want to keep cuticles from becoming overgrown, which suffocates nail growth. If your cuticle has grown out on to the nail plate, after sufficiently softening your cuticles in warm water, very gently use a cuticle pusher to push your cuticles back. As well as pushing your cuticles back this will help to remove dead skin and debris that may have accumulated. Hold the cuticle pusher at an angle, and use tiny circular movements, so that you are as gentle and careful as possible and do not damage the cuticle. When you have finished doesn't forget to moisturize your hands.





5: Look after your nails.


Trim fingernails and clean under the nails regularly. Use manicure scissors or clippers and a nail file to smooth nail edges. Never pull off hangnails - doing so almost always results in ripping living tissue. Clip hangnails off, leaving a slight angle outward.





6: Caring for brittle nails.


Trim brittle nails after a bath, or a 15 minute hand soak in bath oil, and then apply a moisturiser. Don't use nail polish remover more than twice a month. Instead, touch up the nail polish. When you do need to use a nail polish remover avoid those that use acetone, which dries out nails. Also consider using a nail strengthener and growth formula.

first step=stop biting them okay no matter how bad you want to just stop,i use to bite mine too,now get you a nail strengthner use it at least twice a day, also use a nail oil because some hardeners will make your nails too hard and they will break, try to keep your hands out of alot of water use gloves when doing dishes or when they are in water for a period of time this should work well for you
There is stuff you can put on your nails that makes them taste terrible to help you remember not to bite them.





When they do start to grow, use an emery board to file any jagged spots smooth, to stop splits and tears.
Gelatin is the secret.Buy some gelatin and soak your nails in gelatin.For some reason gelatin keeps nails strong.


Buy nail hardener from a beauty supply.


Take your vitamins.


Wear rubber gloves when doing dishes.


Nail hardener and gelatin work.
theres certain types of nail polish you can get to speed up the nail growth but i say paint your nails because i have a biting problem too but when i have nail polish on my nails i dont bite them because the nail polish taste is nasty
Sally Hansen has a line of nail-growth products! I don't know any homemade recipes... except not biting them :)
Take Biotin. I'm taking it to make my hair grow faster, but I've noticed my nails are growing faster too!!
u can use some of that green tea stuff. that helps them grow faster
