How to make your nails grow faster?
Always dreamed of longer, stronger nails? Whether you’re looking to try out new nail art or a classic manicure, extra length and strength is key.
If it’s time to say bye to dry, brittle nails, we’ve caught up with our team of pros to find out how to make our nails grow faster, stronger, and healthier for good. Read on for their expert tips:
Take care of your nails
To make your nails grow faster, you need to take care of them. First stop any picking, pushing, and biting as soon as you can. Fingernails tend to grow between 3-4mm a month on average, so make sure to trim and file them regularly to promote healthy growth and prevent snags. When you file we recommend always going in one direction with smooth strokes. Going back and forth can cause fraying and can lead to breaking.

Love your cuticles
Remember this: healthy cuticles equal healthy nails. If your cuticles are dry, it can lead to breakage. Rich in moisturizing lightweight grape seed, kukui & sunflower oils, our ProSpa Cuticle Oil locks in moisture, preserves the cuticle seal, and strengthens the nail itself. The icing on the cake: this ProSpa oil also exists in a gel texture with an applicator brush for those who prefer to use it on the go: ProSpa Oil-To-Go.
Pro tip: massage in the oil in your cuticles at the matrix (aka: the root of the nail) to stimulate blood flow and help your nails grow faster.
Eat Right
Much like your hair, nails need vitamins and minerals to stay healthy. Eating the right foods and drinking lots of water is the most crucial thing you can do to promote consistent nail growth.
Make sure you add lots of folate found in spinach, asparagus and avocado, zinc found in oysters, beans and nuts and biotin found in salmon, egg yolks and broccoli into your diet. We recommend adding in a biotin supplement too, as studies have shown significant increases in nail thickness and hardness after taking one regularly.
