our fingernails grow about 0.8 inches per 1 week and 2.0 centemeters per year
Really I doubt it?
Because they grow 3mm per month! (according to this encyclopedia)
Which means they grow about 1mm PER WEEK.
Measure it out and you will see that's far more likely

∙ 11y agoMy fingernail grows about an inch per year. One study indicates an average lifetime fingernail growth rate of about 5 mm/week.
Related Information:
Fingernail growth rate varies considerably, and fairly predictably, with age.
The rate increases to a high of 0.9 mm/week sometime in the 30,s, and then decreases at the rate of about 5% per year for a total of about 50% over the human life span.
Other factors affecting growth rate include skin temperature, gender, day/night biorhythms, circadian and other long term biorhythms.

I'm not a doctor or any medical person of any kind but i may know a little about this through experience of my own. My nails grow around 2 millimeters a week but how I think you can make them grow faster is if you like bite on them or something to do with your own saliva might let them grow faster since I was wondering how my nails grew so fast and all i remember was biting them but not really desroying them. I suggest you can wash your hands and try biting them or something if you want to let your nails grow faster but i still dont really actually know if it really actually works but i think it works by 88%.
