A Few Tips for Growing Great Hair and Nails

There are so many women who dream of having long healthy hair and hard as rock nails. Both our hair and nails contain a protein called keratin. Because of this common protein, both hair and nail growth are affected by many of the same factors. To an extent our hair and nails grow at a certain rate, but we can help this out a bit by making sure we are growing the healthiest nails and hair that we can.

What we eat can very greatly effect how our hair and nails grow. There are some people who believe that you can look at person’s nails and know how healthy they eat or if they have toxins in their system. Our nails should be consistent and not have too many ridges in them and also be strong and not flaky. People with vitamin deficiencies typically have ridges in their nails, and the nails tend to be weak. To boost your hail and hair growth, you could consider taking a multivitamin that contains biotin and supplemending with fish oil pills.

Now that you are taking these multivitamins you want to make sure those vitamins get to your hair and nails. Ladies you will enjoy what I am going to suggest next! Go get a massage, or better yet have a loved one give you a massage with a natural oil such as jojoba oil.  Massage increases blood flow in the body. When you increase the blood flow you are removing toxins that may be building up in those area while at the same time are bringing healing nutrients into them. You will be promoting stronger and healthier hair and nails by increasing the blood flow to the nailbed and scalp.

Through daily exercise you can increase the blood flow to these areas. Exercise will also help to improve your overall health and ultimately help your nail and hair growth as well. By addressing your hair and nails from the inside you are much more likely to have nicer, healthier, and longer nails and hair on the outside.
