Off and on through the years I have had this same problem. A doctor once told me that eating Jello and Gelatin products would help strengthen them. I believe it. I suggest you try that--eat a helping of Jello two or three times a day. I believe one of the vitamins helps strengthen nails, too. Check the internet, or a health food store, or someplace that shows what the vitamins are and do; learn which one of them is the one you need to take each day. Don't try eating a few huge Jello helpings and think that will do it! No. Just eat several (don't exceed four) average or small helpings each day for at least two weeks, then check your nails for any increase in strength. It became too much of a burden for me to try keeping pretty, long fingernails while my children were growing up! I had so much trouble maintaining strong fingernails that I started cutting my nails short. That helped a great deal. (I especially was tired of those painful, bleeding breaks. Too, I no longer had to be careful about scratching or cutting the skin of my small children.) Today, though my children have long been grown and out of the home, I am still happy with short fingernails. I hope this will help you.

Why wont your nails grow?

Well, usually nails grow 1/8 of an inch every month. Unless you have a medical problem, they do grow. Most people bite their nails, peel them, rip them, or the nails naturally peel off. This is why most people do not get to see the actual results of their nails. So, check some of these things, because people sometime unknowingly bite their nails. If not check more sites and then if it is a big problem you may be able to go to the doctors. (Please do not change first answer.)
