So I have recently achieved growing out my nails pretty long, and I want them to stay this way. what are some ways to keep the length? make em stronger? grow even longer? what do your nails look like?

My nails are super long naturally. my friends always say I have "cat nails" lol, but anyways, some tips are to be really, REALLY careful when doing even the simplest of things for example, zipping your pants and opening soda cans. I've actually experienced nail breakage with both of those. also, I would avoid washing dishes, and if you do, wear gloves. make sure you keep them filed evenly and keep your cuticles moisturized.

Diet is most important! Your nails strength is very much determined by if your getting enough nutrients you need for things like your hair and nails.

I agree with the ladies above (: I also use a nail strengthened from la colors. I don't know if it's helped much, but I don't get breakage a lot so maybe it's made a difference lol.

You nails get Steinfeld if you use them more, I did use fake nails for a while, so they sid grow under, they were long and really soft, after that I started doing stuff I couldnt do when I didnt have the fake nails. So after getting my nails in some heavy work, they got much harder and stronger and never brake anymore like before:) just my tip:)

My nails are ALWAYS long. Use hardening/ strengthening nail polishes. They are almost always found in any brand. Sally Hansen is in one. Just a clear hard coat you put on. Hair, skin and nails or biotin vitamins help grow your nails long. And avoid acrylic and shellac nails because that thins and damaged the natural nail causing it to break. Putting cuticle oil or cream and lotion on your hands helps the skin around the nail and pushing down the cuticles gives them a little growth spurt. Make sure you don't use your nails to open cans and such. That slowly breaks and damages the nail!! I love nails so haha if you have anymore questions feel free to ask
