Steps
- Get rid of any nail polish or any other products on your nails.
- Take a Q-tip (or your finger) and dip it in olive/vegetable oil, then rub around nails and cuticles. Make sure to get underneath your nails as well.
- Leave it for 2 minutes.This is so the oil will stay on your nails until you rinse them.
- Wash it off gently without soap under hot water.
- Dab (don't smudge) with a wet cotton cloth or towel.
- Take a bowl (soup bowl or bigger) and fill it with lukewarm water (medium temp, but a little hotter).
- Dip your nails in it, and keep for 20 minutes. If this is uncomfortable for you, then use two bowls (one for each hand and relax).
- After 20 minutes, take hair conditioner (with wet hands, don't wash them) and squirt out a little (half of what you use for your hair).
- Massage hands with conditioner (nails too).
- Dip hands back in the water for 5 minutes.
- Wash hands under hot water at the sink, getting all the conditioner off.
- Let nails dry naturally, and take frequent hand washed till nighttime.
- Push cuticles back before going out (with fingernails) and wash hands in cold water. You are ready to go!
- Use a treatment to help your nails grow faster. Soak them in a mixture of sugar, salt, and vegetable oil daily.
Tips
- Don't bite your nails.
- If your nails are a bit weaker, and take longer to grow, it helps to clean out the back of the nails frequently, and do not use harsh soaps.
- Try Dove soaps which are 1/4 cream to have healthy skin and nails.
- Lemon juice to soak your hands in can be substituted for lukewarm water.
- File your nails lightly everyday to make them grow stronger and faster!
Warnings
- This treatment is to be done max twice a week. Doing it more will often make the nails weaker or break.
- Do not push cuticles back more than once a week.
