How To Maintain Your Nail Length

I know that most of us have a hard time retaining nail length . They usually reach a length we are satisfied with then end up breaking or chipping just before your salon visit. Growing your nails takes a little bit of TLC outside of the salon and in this post i'm going to share some tips that could help you get to your ideal nail goals.

DID YOU KNOW ? That lack of water , bad eating and health play a big part of your nail health .

• My first tip to help you retain length would be to drink water . If you are dehydrated or not drinking enough water it could cause you to have brittle nails. If you have a hard time drinking water add some flavor to it . Some times I add liquid IV or crystal light to my water . So drink up babe!

• Keep those cuticles moisturized ! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (in my Sabrina Carpenter voice ) use cuticle oil! You will see such a difference in you skin around your nails, cuticles and your nail beds. This will keep those irritating hang nails to a minimum . I recommend using a cuticle oil that has tea tree oil. I actually have an oil here on my site that is available for purchase . The best part of my oil is that you can use it as a body oil . Thank me later !

• Nails are jewels not tools !!! Do not use your nails to open packages or open cans or mark a spot on the wall to hang a picture ( my client knows this one is especially for her) . This is a for sure way to break or stress out your nails.

• Wear gloves ! Believe it or not wearing gloves while you are cleaning and washing dishes make a difference . Cleaning products can weaken the nails over time and possibly affect the product that you have on top of them. We also want to protect our skin and keep it from drying out while using these cleaning products. Who wants dry skin on top of damaged nails ,Not me !

• Take your vitamins , Now im not a supplement girlie but I do know they can work very well if you are consistant with them . You will need to be patient, give your body time to take on the new nutrients and remain consistent . You will start to notice that your nails have become stronger and longer over time.

So, yes growing your nails and keeping them long, strong and healthy are absolutely possible. Just by following even one of my tips you will see an improvement in you nails . Remember its a not just about long nails but more importantly healthy nails.

Happy Nail Journey babe!
