5. Remember to massage your nails

You can stimulate blood flow by massaging your nails. This is how you will help them grow and get stronger. Massage hands with a moisturizer. Apply it on the nails, cuticles and hands and rub the lotion onto them. Remember to apply lotion right after you are done washing your hands.

6. Drink plenty of water 

Drink plain water and do not try to replace it with soda, coffee or tea. Hydrate your damaged and dry nails. At the same time you will improve your hair and skin.

Even if you know your nails look terrible, there are still plenty of ways to heal them. Be patient and perform the above-mentioned steps on a daily basis. On average, it may take you up to six months to see visible results since this is the time required to grow out completely healthy nails.
