Get stronger long nails with this easy viral hack, here's what to do

Consistent care with natural methods can lead to healthier, stronger nails over time. If you too crave for longer and healthier nails, then you may try this hack.

Instagrammer @be_natural_302 suggested applying a mixture of two pinches of salt and two teaspoons of coconut oil on nails and keep it for around 15 minutes before wiping off with a warm cloth. This can help nails grow faster, healthier and stronger. However, experts have not backed the hack as there are no scientific logic behind it. So you must not do it if you face any kind of allergy or infection after applying this. It's better to see a skin specialist in case of any skin issues.

How to naturally take care of your nails

Taking care of your nails naturally involves maintaining good hygiene, proper nutrition, and using natural products. Here are some tips:

Keep Nails Clean and Dry: This helps prevent bacterial and fungal infections.
Trim Regularly: Use sharp manicure scissors or clippers, and trim nails straight across, then round the tips in a gentle curve.
Moisturize: Apply natural oils like coconut or olive oil to your nails and cuticles to keep them hydrated.

Nutrition for your nails

Balanced Diet: Eat a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly biotin, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep nails hydrated and strong.
Natural Products

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stay away from nail polish removers that contain acetone and other harsh chemicals.

Use Natural Nail Polish: Opt for polishes that are free of formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalate (DBP).

Homemade Remedies: Use lemon juice to whiten nails, and a mixture of honey and olive oil to strengthen them.

Tips for keeping your nails healthy and safe

Wear Gloves: Protect your nails by wearing gloves when doing household chores or gardening.

Avoid Biting Nails: Keep nails trimmed to prevent the temptation to bite, and use a bitter-tasting nail polish if necessary.

File Properly: Always file nails in one direction to prevent splitting and weakening.
