I used to have a really bad nail habit but I have recently have been able to grow my nails quite long but they are just so weak and are so bendy I use the same nail strengthener all the time but it doesn't work what can I do?

It would take sum tym fr them to b strong again.. mine were brittle fr lik 3 months or so... soak nails in lukewarm olive oil fr fifteen mins. tap on table as if your playin piano... wear gloves wen sleeping. heat will increase blood circulation makin dm strngr.

You can try Sally Hansen's nail strengthen, or use garlic polish as a base coat (a few girls on here swear by it) Also I advise taking care of your body as well. Drink lots of water, take vitamins and make sure to eat green veggies

Zinc really helps with keeping your nails strong and it's good for your hair and skin as well. I take tablets everyday with zinc in them, it really helps!

Take clear nail polish like you use and let it set for about ten minutes then put more on, wait ten minutes and repeat, layers of nailpolish help. If you just put one coat of nail polish on at a time and leave it, it will help. But if you want to move the process along, use layers. I learned this from my momma she has super long nails and I've been growing mine too and had that problem.
