- Nail Facts -

So today I decided to do a very interesting blog entry on some nail facts which most I knew about but some took me by surprise.

Finger nails grow faster than toe nails. Finger nails grow at the approximate rate of a half an inch every 100 days. If you bite your nails down to the flesh it takes at least a month to re-grow!

Nails on longer fingers grow faster than nails on short fingers. Nails also grow faster on your dominant hand. So if you must bite your nails, concentrate on the middle finger of your right hand – if you are right handed.

Massaging your finger tips will stimulate nail growth. So does typing on a keyboard.

A man’s nails grow faster than a woman’s. This does not make a man superior! lol

Nails grow much faster during pregnancy.

Dry nails are mostly the result of not drinking enough. Unfortunately only water helps - NOT alcoholic drinks.

Nails grow faster in warm sunny climates than in cold dark places. If you must bite your nails, move to AFRICA or BRAZIL.

The older you are, the slower your nails grow.

People biting nails do this out of habit. There is no medical cure. The only way to stop nail biting is to break the habit!

With love
