 Subject: Nail Growth
Message:
Ever since my second pregnancy and birth of that child (1999) it seems my nails grow a small bit and then crack, break. But the cracking and breaking is down in the "quick" of the nail not just the nail itself. What can I do? I use to never have a problem with my nails being strong, growing, etc. Can you help me, please. I have tried several things and it doesn't work. I thought of putting on the "fake nails" and letting my nails underneath just take time to grow. But, if I do this will they grow healthy and strong not thin and weak by using your materials? Nails are important to me and my "self-image" especially right now so any help you can lend, suggestions, ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Try staying away from anything "drying" to the nail. Keep them hydrated with natural oils. Stay away from mineral oil, lotions are sometimes loaded with it. Look for something with Dimethicone in it--Aveno makes a good one. Limit using removers, don't use polish with formaldehyde either.
IF you try artificial nails, don't look so much at the price of the service... look at the Nail Tech instead! This is VITAL to the health of your nails--especially if you just want them to grow out.
A Discount Nail Salon would be a HUGE mistake! They over file with the "drills" and would make it pointless in trying to grow your nails out...these Salons generally hire unlicensed nail techs that don't even have a word in their native language for "germ" and don't understand the concept of sanitation by our terms--plus you have a language barrier to deal with, so more than likely you won't be able to get your point across anyway. Then you have the chemical issues in places like that too. You never know if what they are using is approved by the FDA to use on nails or not (mostly not).
You need to find a REPUTABLE Nail Tech in a "Standard Salon" like I work in that knows what he/she is doing when it comes to nails. If money is an issue on this, shop around... no harm in that. Ask around, call around. You'll find a nail tech that is reasonable.
There is a site that can help you find one... www.beautytech.info it's a data base of nail techs, cosmetologists, estheticians, etc. If you don't find anyone on there... email me directly, and I'll try to find you one (I know thousands of them from a community online--and they are all VERY knowlegeable about nail health.

I have always had a problem with my nails cracking and breaking just as they started to get to a nice length and they have always been thin. But, I have also alway's had low iron and I was told that was the reason why my nails can't grow without breaking or cracking.
Well, a couple of month's ago, I was in the grocery store and I went to check, as I alway's do, for something that might help my nails stop breaking and I came across this Sally Hansen
BE-LONG polish. It's a liquid nail wrap that you put on just like nail polish. I put on a light coat of it every 3 days or so, because that's all you really need of it. It's white in the bottle, but if you put on a thin coat of it, it comes on clear. It looks better clear than it does white!It work's really, really well. Then I put on a coat of Sally Hansen Hard As Nails, the clear one. My nail's are no loger thin and fragile! My nails have never been this length naturally. I usually have to put on fake nails. So, if you've tried just about everything like me, then try this if you haven't already!!!

Lack of particular vitamins, poor circulation. Ask you regular physician when you have your next check up.

Joanne,
Has your physician checked your thyroid? The nails breaking and
hair loss could be due to underactive thyroid (several of us who
post on this forum have thyroid problems). I can't remember if
leg cramps can be a sign of thyroid issues, but they can
definitely be caused by magnesium deficiency. I'm not a doctor,
but have gone through many health issues so I'm just passing
along thoughts as a patient, not a healthcare practitioner.

Joanne - I think seeing your doctor would be a good idea. You want to rule out things like thyroid and connective tissue disorders. I'm no doctor either, but leg cramps can be arthritis. If the nails and hair are related to that, a little bloodwork would help. Then you can go ahead and try some vitamins like Biotin for the hair and nails.
