- The way you file your nails is important for their growth. Wrong direction of filing them can make them weak and brittle.
- Nails should not be filed to a sharp point; instead they should be filed according to the shape of the base. If you have round base, file to a round top and if you have square base, make a square top. Also do not over file them.
- While planning manicure, dip them in warm oil for ten minutes in advance.
- Put cotton-lined hand gloves before doing any kitchen or laundry work using detergents and scrubbers. How strong and beautiful your nails may be but if you use them in wrong way, it will weaken and break your nails.

- Also try to keep your nails free from nail paint at least once in a month to give them a healthy break.
- Take proper diet including proteins and calcium, which are essential for growth and strength of nails. So eat healthy and drink plenty of water.
- Daily massage your nails with almond oil or olive oil. To give a smooth and supple texture to nails, always keep them moisturized by creaming and oiling. Moisturizing is vital for the glow of nails.
- To strengthen the nails, dip them in lemon juice or vinegar on routine basis and cuticles should be pushed back and nails should be applied topcoat daily to protect the tips.
- Another important rule is not to scrape off the nail paint and avoid using metal tool for pushing back the cuticle. By doing this protective cells on the surface of nails are damaged.
- There should be limited use of nail polish remover, as it tends to dry off the nail surface due to presence of acetone in it. Nails should be moisturized with a cream if you really have to use it.
