What should I do?

Hi lemon8! I’ve been growing out my natural nails recently. They are weak and break easily, resulting in me having to trim them again.

I know that taking B7 and zinc vitamins help with nail strength, but are there any products that are especially good for this?🛍️

Are there any foods that are good for nail strength /health as well?

(the damage in the image is due to peeling off old gel polish)

Thank yall so much!

If you're looking to grow strong nails, it's essential to incorporate the right vitamins and nutrients into your diet. Biotin (Vitamin B7) has been widely recognized for its effectiveness in improving nail strength and growth. Alongside biotin, Zinc plays a crucial role in healing damaged nails and preventing brittleness. Consider taking supplements that contain these vital nutrients to promote nail health. In addition to supplements, various foods can also enhance nail strength. Foods rich in protein, such as eggs, chicken, and fish, provide the necessary building blocks for keratin, the protein that makes up your nails. Leafy greens like spinach and kale are packed with essential vitamins and minerals that support overall nail health. Also, incorporate nuts and seeds into your diet, as they are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which help maintain nail flexibility and shine. Moreover, using a good quality nail strengthener can significantly benefit your nails. Look for products that include formaldehyde or protein-based formulas, as they help to create a protective barrier. Don't forget to keep your nails moisturized; consider applying cuticle oil regularly to maintain hydration and prevent breakage. Lastly, be mindful of your nail care routine; avoid harsh chemicals and give your nails a break from gel polish to allow them to recover.

I found a lady in my area that does structured gel manicures, and my nails have done so well with it. They never bend or break with the structured gel. The nails on my page are all my natural nails. SG is becoming a more and more popular nail technique, so maybe there’s someone in your area that does it, too!
