Do you know how when you just want to paint your nails beautifully, your nails tear or break off for the umpteenth time? Now you have to wait until they have grown again and they often tear or wear off again afterwards. Many people suffer from brittle nails and that is annoying.
But luckily we at Womanly are there to help. Besides the fact that it is partly genetically determined how strong your nails are, you can also do some things about it yourself. Here are the tips to make your nails stronger.
The care of your nails
It is of course important to take good care of your nails and hands if you suffer from brittle or brittle nails. For example, you should not bite or pull your nails, as this will prevent your nails from recovering, and remember to apply a good hand cream a few times a day.
In addition, it is smart to apply a cuticle oil to your cuticles every day and, on days when you do not paint your nails, to paint them with a hardening nail polish. Cuticle oil will help your nails grow stronger and the hardening varnish will make your nails even stronger.
You are what you eat
In almost everything that has to do with health, you are what you eat. In other words, your diet is just as important as your appearance and this also applies to your nails.
Make sure you get enough proteins, antioxidants, zinc and calcium to keep those nails strong. If you consume too little protein, your body will produce less keratin, which will make your nails brittle and thin.
Replace those nail scissors
If you always use nail scissors to shorten or shape your nails, it is better to throw them away. When you cut the nails you put a lot of pressure on the nails and they can split more quickly.
That is why it is better to always file the nails if you want them shorter or in a different model. It is best to use a glass nail file as it puts the least amount of force on the nail. It may take more time, but it will really make your nails stronger.
Avoid certain products
If you want strong nails and beautiful soft hands, you should definitely avoid certain products. For example, it is best not to remove the nail polish with acetone. Nowadays there are plenty of nail polish removers without acetone that are much better.
Moreover, always wearing nail polish is not good for the nails. Give your nails some rest every now and then so that your nails can breathe and always put a base coat on the nails first to protect them, and there are also other products that promise to strengthen your nails, such as this nail salon set from Lidl.
