If there is one thing most women try to achieve but just can't do it, is get longer nails. It's hard to get your nails to grow because of so many things, including calcium deficiency. If your body does not get enough calcium, your nails tend to slow their growth and they become weak and brittle. Even if you do get enough calcium but your nails are still short and weak, it may be because that calcium doesn't go through, in which case a lot of people have to take vitamins and calcium tablets. Here's how to get long nails!
How to Get Long Nails
#1. UpKeep
That being said, there are other factors which stop your nails from growing. One of them is not enough upkeep. In order to get your nails to grow longer, you have to take care of them, just like you take extra care with your hair. If you wash dishes or you use any chemicals and your hands aren't covered, these things affect your nails and leave them damaged. So next time, put on some gloves!
#2. Filing
Also remember that for your nails to grow, you need to file them on a regular basis. Now you might think that doing that will actually shorten them, but it just keep them healthy and gets rid of the top, brittle layer (just like you get your split ends cut, it's the same with your nails). So file your nails every other day, and you'll start seeing them grow longer and stronger.
#3. Let Your Nails Breathe
If you're in the process of trying to get longer nails, try to stay away from nail polishes and they too, can damage the nail. Instead, try using a nail growth publish, as there are tons and tons out there. They nourish your nails, and they are packed with vitamins, giving your nail the treatment it deserves. Use it every other day, and you'll see a major improvement.
Lastly, take care of your nails by getting rid of your cuticles, and pushing back the skin at the bottom of your nails. Oh, and bitting your nails is a big no-no so try to keep that in mind!

This is the thing you need. Buy a polish which is actually made to stop you biting you nails. Its taste is DISGUSTING, so it curbs your addiciton of biting your nails (Nails are tasting yucky = no bite the yucky nails). It really does work. If you don’t want to buy some special polish, then the only thing that really will work, without the usage of money, is self-disapline. If you catch yourself biting your nails, stop immedialty, sitting on your hands, or putting them in your pocket. Or, try to get into a new habit, such as rubbing… Read more »

I’m 12, and my mum let me and my sis get fake nails for the summer hols and wen I took them off my nails were really long! Then they started to break off so I bit them to be like the same length. Now I started biting them again so I bought a nail thing that helps stop biting them. I used that for a while that was good but then the lid got stuck so I can’t use it so I started biting my nails again. If they were hard and long then I wouldn’t be tempted to… Read more »
i dont bite my nails out of habit. i bite them when they snag to keep them from tearing into the quick and hurting. usually to keep them from doing that i put nail polish on them!! What am i supposed to do??? plus some of the white on my nails grows uneven, so on one it will have lots of white and on others it is short. plus what am i supposed to do with tem while their growing? they look ugly without at least clear polish but that keeps them from growing
i have never had long nails. I started taking Calcium pills every morning, and to my surprize within a week my nails have passed my finger tip….try it it works 🙂
my nails will not grow.
It sounds as if this board is full of a bunch of 12 year illiterates.
And if you’re here on the page, then we all obviously know you’re having problems growign your nails, leaving a 5 word comment doesn’t help.
Stop biting them. Eat calcium supplements. Use tea tree oil on your cuticles, and push them back.
Give them more than a week to grow before you start complaining about it not working. It takes a few weeks, AT LEAST, before you’re going to see any real results.
use garlic rub it on your cuticles it will work within a week
Is there any good tips on how to stop nail biting? I’ve tried to tell myself to sop and it doesn’t seem to work.
how would i grow my nail with in 2 weeks
is? garlic and egg good for nail
itching the head with nail damage the nail will it retard growth?
I have not bitten my nails in 2 years. I used to bite nails, and they were short but not ugly. Then I saw someone with long nice nails and I wanted to have that too so I stopped right at the spot. My nails are now nice and about 5 mm long.
Either you can use something to stop biting, or you have willpower to stop nailbiting.

How To Get Long Nailz……? 🙁
I like having long nails but if there isnt any nail polish on my nails are ugly. I wish I knew what to do…
Hey Taylor,
I would suggest buying a 4 sided nail buffer. First, file your nails to your desired shape. Then, buff the surface in circular motions. Follow up with a polishing and finish with the smoothing side. Apply a coat of clear nail polish and your nails should look great!

Okay getting to the point..I bite my nails too 😛 But trust me the method I’m going to tell you will work like magic..and u dont have to spend a dime!
