How quickly do nails grow?

There are interesting patterns in nail growth:

At night growth occurs faster than during the day;
Fingernails grow twice as fast as toenails;
In summer, the growth rate doubles compared to winter;
The middle, ring and index fingers on the hand are record holders for the fastest growth of the nail plate;

The process of nail growth depends on many factors. The time of year, gender, and age matter. Scientists have found that the length increases by 0.15 mm per day, but this figure is considered to be average. An important indicator in determining speed is gender. It has been proven that women cut 4.5 meters of nails in their entire lives, while men only cut 4 meters.

How to speed up the process of nail growth

Scientists have found that the weekly “growth” of the nail plate for the average person ranges from 1 to 1.5 mm. This means that for some this process is more active, and for others it is slower. In addition, the following factors influence the “speed” of nail growth:

Seasonality. It has been established that in the bright and warm seasons, nails grow faster than in the autumn-winter period.
Floor. This is how women’s nails grow 20% faster than men’s.
Age. The most active growth of nail plates occurs until the age of 25, then the process of nail renewal begins to slow down.
Nutrition. A rich, complete diet, filled with all the necessary microelements and vitamins, has a beneficial effect on the “growth” properties of nails.
Water balance. Water activates the metabolic processes of the human body, causing cells to renew themselves more intensively, including in the area of the nail plates. Accordingly, sufficient drinking regime has a beneficial effect on the rate of nail growth.

In addition to factors that influence the rate of nail plate regrowth, there are also factors that not only slow down the renewal of the plates, but also reduce the already achieved “growth” due to the destruction and thinning of the nail. These include:

Natural abrasion of the nail plate. You will be surprised, but while performing daily household and household chores, and simply in the process of everyday life, the tips of the nails, albeit a little, wear down, according to the same principle as in animals - from mechanical friction.
The reduction of the nail plate, and a significant one, is caused by thinning of the nail, its injury, breaking off, delamination, etc. Naturally, such troubles lead to the fact that we ourselves are forced to cut off the damaged tip, and with it all the other nails, so to speak, “with the same brush.”
Lack of proper care leads to brittle nails, which again entails forced correction of all nails.

Important

If your nails begin to peel and break, it is better to cut them as short as possible. Weakened tips not only do not look aesthetically pleasing, but also “take away” nutrients from the still growing plate, as a result of which it will also weaken in the future. Remember that the only area that can be resuscitated is the area of the nail that fits tightly to the nail bed. The regrown tip is essentially already dead, and can only be supported, but not treated.

Of course, we are not able to influence the season and age, but nature has already generously gifted women with accelerated nail growth, and following the rules of a balanced diet and drinking regime, as well as proper care, will help quickly grow and preserve nails. In addition, women have many simple home-grown methods that influence the acceleration of nail growth, which everyone can handle on their own. They will be discussed below.

Reasons for slow nail growth

Fingernails are constantly exposed to damage from coatings and housework. All this can significantly slow down the regrowth of the plate. There are other factors that influence this indicator:

Poor nutrition. Lack of nutrients and deficiency of important vitamins primarily affects the nails. They slow down in growth, change color and structure.
Diseases. Kidney problems, diabetes and impaired blood supply are the main enemies of the plate. If you can’t grow beautiful nails, and their quality leaves much to be desired, this is a reason to consult a doctor;
Bad habits. Everyone knows about the dangers of smoking and alcohol. Remember that giving up addictions will have a positive effect on the condition of the whole body and nails are no exception;
Injuries. A serious injury to the nail growth zone slows down the regrowth of the plate and distorts its appearance.
Fungus. The spread of the fungus occurs gradually and is not always noticeable. Onychomycosis affects the appearance, structure and thickness. The plate becomes deformed and stops growing completely. Seeing a doctor will help you get rid of the fungus.

Vitamins and microelements

With such a variety of reasons for slowing down, there are no less tricks that will allow you to grow long and healthy nails. First of all, these are minerals, vitamins and microelements that are important for the whole body.

Vitamin A. Affects the growth of the plate, and with sufficient quantity makes it smooth and even;

Vitamins for beauty and health

Long nails in just a week. How realistic?

During this period of time, nails can grow a maximum of one and a half millimeters. But if you try hard, you can improve this indicator. Here are a couple of useful tips on how to grow your nails in a week.

Nutrition

The health of the entire body largely depends on what we eat. If you want to grow your nails, reconsider your diet. It should contain foods containing vitamins E, A, B and minerals such as calcium and iron. Vitamin A helps strengthen the nail, vitamin B accelerates their growth, and vitamin E renews not only the surface of the nail, but the entire body. All the necessary nutrients are contained in currants, eggs, green vegetables, citrus fruits, milk, vegetable oil, apples and so on. Try to exclude coffee and alcoholic drinks from your diet.

Water

Not everyone knows that water can strengthen nail plates. But at the same time, it can weaken them. Make sure that the exposure of the nail surface to water is not prolonged. And most importantly, be sure to wear gloves before using household chemicals. Also, do not forget to drink more, as due to lack of water, nail growth slows down significantly.

Massage

Massage your fingertips and cuticles twice a day. This process takes only 2-5 minutes, but the effect is noticeable to the naked eye.

Proper care

Regular hand care is extremely important. Buy a high-quality nourishing cream and cuticle care oil. Use them daily.

If you follow all the recommendations, then worries about how to grow long nails in a week will disappear by themselves.

Products for strengthening and growing nails

Before you take drastic measures in the fight for beautiful nails, you should pay attention to the composition of your diet. Perhaps the problem of slow growth lies in poor nutrition.

Fruits and vegetables are indispensable for nail growth. They are sources of vitamins A, C, B and D. Regular consumption of fresh foods in combination with proper care will help cope with fragility;
Gelatin. Jellied fish, jelly and marmalade will help combat brittleness and prevent flaking.

Vitamins and minerals to accelerate growth

Nails will indicate a lack of vitamins and minerals in the body. If they are dull, grow slowly, or flake, you should pay attention to nutrition and, possibly, use supplements to replenish nutrients.

The following elements will help speed up the growth of nails:

calcium is a building material that will help strengthen nails, which means they will not break and the required length will be achieved faster,
magnesium – promotes better absorption of calcium,
silicon – synthesizes collagen and helps calcium “build in”,
iodine – accelerates growth,
vitamin D – necessary for the absorption of calcium,
B vitamins – participate in the synthesis of keratin, are responsible for water balance,
Vitamin A – forms new cells and protects against mycosis,
Vitamin E – helps improve blood circulation and nutrient supply,
vitamin C – synthesizes collagen, necessary for the absorption of vitamins A and E,
nicotinic acid – accelerates growth, promotes rapid recovery.

How to speed up nail growth at home

In our review today, we will deliberately leave aside salon procedures for strengthening and enhancing nail growth, and talk about homemade “grandmother’s” recipes that can really improve the condition of nails and exceed the “standard standards” for nail plate regrowth, many times over.

Photo from the site: art-of-nails.ru

The arsenal of how to speed up nail growth at home is quite rich and varied, and every woman can choose a product to her liking and... according to her nails. For ease of choice, we have divided all procedures that affect nail growth into groups according to their “specialization”. Let's consider each of them in detail.

Baths for accelerated nail growth

The most popular and easiest to use remedy for nail growth is baths. They come in different types:

Water-based baths. The most effective. It has been established that external contact with water stimulates the growth of nail plates. However, everything is good in moderation, and therefore there is a strict time limit for water baths - no more than 30 minutes. In addition, in addition to growth, strengthening is also important, and therefore water baths should be enriched with strengthening and nourishing components - sea salt, iodine solution, lemon juice, essential oils (champions in the effect on nail growth are tea tree oil, citrus and rosemary).

Oil baths. They are somewhat inferior in their stimulating effect to water-based baths, but they perfectly nourish the nail plate and cuticle. In the future, nails nourished with the oil “elixir” are more resistant to damage and, accordingly, more “vital”. Oil baths involve the use of some kind of vegetable or cosmetic oil. The most effective: olive, sea buckthorn, and almond oils. Such baths can additionally be enriched with lemon juice, liquid vitamins (for example, Aevit), iodine solution, etc. Oil baths are most effective when done warmly.

Gelatin baths. They will “nourish” the nail plates with life-giving collagen, make them more flexible, and strengthen the internal structure of the nail. “Medicinal jelly” is made from gelatin with a jelly-like consistency. They are always used warm, and require additional nutrition in the form of milk, honey, decoction of medicinal herbs - chamomile flowers, calendula, sage, etc.

Basically, baths based on healing infusions - chamomile, oak bark, sage, etc. – and when used “independently” they are a very effective means. Such baths will act as a good preventive measure against fungal diseases, and will also help saturate the nails with oxygen, which is especially important if you wear artificial nails or gel coating for a long time.

Masks to accelerate nail growth

Masks made from the most affordable ingredients will also help speed up nail growth:

Food masks. These masks use egg yolks, which are rich in vitamins A, E, as well as essential microelements for the nail matrix, such as sulfur. Masks based on honey, butter and coconut oil have proven themselves to be excellent. Such masks should be applied thickly to the nails and, if possible, kept on for at least 30 minutes.

Toothpaste masks. The most ordinary toothpaste, but preferably with calcium, will help enhance the growth of the nail plate and also strengthen it. The best time to use it is in the evening; ideally, such a mask should be left on all night and washed off in the morning.

Vitamin masks. Regular Aevita capsules, liquid vitamin A and fish oil are a real “elixir” for nails and cuticles. Rub them into your nails and cuticles daily, and if possible, do not wash them off.

Thermal masks. It involves applying a warm oil compress based on any vegetable or cosmetic oil to the nails and cuticles. Cotton pads soaked in warm oil should be wrapped around your fingertips, and plastic gloves should be put on over them. This entire structure should be “insulated” with gloves or mittens. The exposure time is at least 30 minutes, but no more than an hour.

Interesting fact

You can even make nail masks... with painted nails. Naturally, in this case, the nutrient should not be applied to the painted plates, but to the cuticle and already grown area of the nail. In this way, you will saturate the future nail with useful substances, and later, when painted, it will be more durable and suffer less from “oxygen starvation.”

Physical influence as a means to accelerate nail growth

Simple manipulations such as:

Regular massage of the fingertips, cuticle area and side ridges has a stimulating effect on the growth of the nail plate. It is enough to perform targeted manipulations 2 - 3 minutes a day and the result will not take long to arrive. But remember that this massage cannot be performed on dry fingers! Pre-apply any vegetable or cosmetic oil, special cuticle oil or regular hand cream to your nails and the skin around them and do a gentle massage with your fingertips.

"Gymnastics" for fingers. You will be surprised, but regular tapping movements with your fingertips on a hard surface stimulates nail growth. During the day, just perform these manipulations for a few minutes, or just work at the keyboard. But it is important to strike with the pads of your fingers; your nails should not be hit, otherwise you will get a completely opposite result.

Gel Dimexide

How to strengthen nails with gel polish

If you want to strengthen the gel polish so that the manicure lasts longer and does not chip, use acrylic powder. Gel polish itself is a fairly durable coating; manicurists rarely hear complaints that the manicure does not wear well, since the natural nails under the gel polish are soft.

But remember that gel polish is not a strengthening agent; after you remove the beauty, your natural nail will be injured (always), it will need rest and care. Therefore, strengthening agents for gel polish are means for good manicure wear. And recipes for strengthening nails after gel polish are procedures that strengthen the nail.

Strengthen the gel polish with acrylic powder

This is the most common method that manicurists readily use to apply a durable coating with rhinestones and decor. Acrylic is widely used in the extension procedure as a durable, durable material. What can be achieved with acrylic powder:

Level the surface.
Transparent powder will not change the color of gel polish.
The manicure will be durable and wearable.

Acrylic powder is applied to the second layer of base and dried in an LED lamp. If for some reason you are using a simple ultraviolet lamp, then you need to dry the coating for 2 minutes, in an LED lamp for 30 seconds.

To make the nail smooth, the powder coating can be treated with a buff. A third layer of base is applied to the acrylic, dried, and covered with color. If you want to leave the nail natural, apply a top coat to the base and let it dry.

Strengthening nails under gel polish with biogel and base

Biogel is applied under a manicure, and, according to some masters, the coating strengthens the nail plate itself. I am skeptical about this coating; there are enough reviews that biogel does not provide any practical benefit to the nail plate, but increases the durability of the manicure.

ORDER NOW for RUR 70

The simplest, most effective way to strengthen your nails with gel polish is to apply a base in several layers. The base from the manufacturer Rosalind showed good results. The cost of the bottle will surprise and delight you, see for yourself.

Oils

There are cosmetic base oils and essential oils. The essential oil has a higher concentration of the active component and is recommended for use in combination with a base oil.

Oil extracts come from a wide variety of plants. They help improve the structure, saturate it with useful substances, cope with fragility and speed up the growth of nails.

Medicinal plants for the beauty of nails and skin
Oil should be selected depending on the desired effect:

Burr oil

Burdock root, from which burdock oil is obtained, has a number of vitamins, antioxidants and phytosteroids. Regular use of a natural product will help in imparting aesthetic beauty to the plate, and will also speed up its regrowth. The oil from Mirolla has good properties and a natural composition.

Peach oil

Peach oil is a peach seed extract that has gone through several stages of filtration and serves as an excellent moisturizer and anti-inflammatory agent. The oil strengthens and promotes unhindered growth. When choosing, you should pay attention to Peach oil from Mirolla.

Castor oil

Castor oil is a source of vitamins A and E and serves as an excellent addition to other remedies. The castor oil in the composition allows not only to strengthen the plate, but also to accelerate its growth. The most common is “MiKo”.

Tea tree oil

Tea tree oil improves general condition, accelerates growth and copes with fungal infections. Systematic use will be an excellent prevention of the disease and will help in care. The oil most often found in stores is from Botanica, but be careful - the company produces essential oils that must be used together with base oils.

You need to choose which oil is best suited for a specific problem based on its basic properties. If necessary, you can combine several oils and get a multifunctional product in the fight for beauty and length.

What products stimulate nail growth?

Nail growth agents play an important role. Here are the most famous of them:

0.5 l of water;
One lemon wedge.

How to protect your nails

It’s no secret to any of us how negatively the use of various chemicals for cleaning the house affects us.
And, first of all, our hands and nails suffer, as they come into direct contact with chemicals during cleaning. If you take care of your nails and hands, would like to protect your nails and prevent their weakness and brittleness, you should start taking proper care of them now, without putting important things on the back burner. The most important rule for protection is to use rubber gloves when cleaning around the house or when using any detergents. Rubber gloves do not allow moisture to pass through and chemicals reaching your hands will also be out of range.

But not all ladies use rubber gloves when cleaning. Especially for you, we will advise, in this case, to use the most gentle detergents possible, which contain glycerin, balm and natural ingredients. They will significantly reduce the risk of damage to the skin and nails on your lovely hands.
