Is there a way to make my nails grow faster and/or stronger?

Try a strengthening clear polish. It will make your nails stronger and add a nice shine.

Jacqlyn, I've always heard that biotin is great to make your nails stronger, why can't we take it? Just a question I wanna now.

Rub garlic on them or..
chop up garlic, put it into a clear polish, let it sit 7-10 days, then apply daily. you'll have long strong nails.

I started growing mine out last month. My advice is keep them painted & try not to play with them. I'm used to having short nails, so now that they're growing a bit, I tend to bend the tips. Which I'm sure isn't good for them.

Oh wow I never knew this! Thanks Jacqlyn I was actually thinking about buying the pills because I notice my hair is thinning, but now I know the actual meaning of "biotin".

I take biotin and I don't vomit or have acne on my legs or high fevers and my hair was falling out and biotin rele helped me

Maybe but I kno a lot of girls that take it even jus in this app and it's ok for them I don't think everyone of them had that problem.

Geez why the scare tactics? biotin in general is pretty well tolorated by most. I take biotin and hair skin and nail vitamins without issue. if its something your curious about taking and want to see if it could benefit you talk w your doctor to get a real professional opinion

It different for other ppl like you said the FDA didn't approve it but jus like fish oil that also wasn't a lot of ppl take I think it jus has to do with what works for that person.

Jacqlyn sweetie I'm not saying you or kitty are wrong I was just saying that's not the case for everyone something don't work for me that do I'm sure others and like you said she's not dumb n that's fine but I'm not blind and I don't see those symptoms with me so you should tell ppl your going to vomit and all that if you do cause it works for me and what should be said is just check with your doctor if you want to take them.

There aren't any scare tactics lol. I would wanna know what side effects I could get from something if I was interested in it. she's just giving you true information. & in the first sentence she mentioned consulting a doctor. which is something you should always do before taking some pills. a lot of girls just take whatever pill someone may mention because it worked for them without doing any kind of research or talking to a doctor. it's great that she's so informative.

She also said it CAN yield those side effects. she didn't say it's going to happen to everyone lol.

Yes aside possibly getting acne I find it an extreme scenario and don't see where I said anyone was dumb. it certainly depends on the person and like I said discuss a concern w a doctor

No problem! people often read over or forget some of the stuff they read haha. I thought some of us might need a little refresher :)

I'm taking biotin & it helped my acne so much!! I haven't seen a difference on my hair but my nails are longer, I also drink LOTS of water too. I'll continue to take it too cause I love the results, I guess is different on every person:))

Lol thank you lili but no I don't need a little refresher lol. I read it quite clear. and in MY opinion I found it to be extreme and could steer someone away without even a discussion w a doctor first.

You hear worse side effects on tv for medications & people still obviously go to their doctor & discuss it. I'm sure a doctor would tell their patient all the risks involved even if they seem extreme. that applies to biotin. I'd just like to point out, once again, that she is only informing to the fullest of her ability & said you should consult a doctor :)

Medications & pills can have scary side effects. Being informed is the best way to keep your body healthy :)

Ok jacquyn in your fist post you said Don't take Biotin! after someone asked you why you referenced an answer from someone else that said people didnt listen to warnings and ended up w fevers vomiting during the day. the girl that asked why she shouldn't take it then said oh ok wow now I know what it really is. again in my opinion it came out extreme that's how I took it when I read it. others may take it different but that was my perspective of the conversation, that's it. lili you are absolutely right some do have bad side effects for some and for others they don't that is why I also suggested getting a doctor's opinion for her personally. :)

Jacqlyn, I am glad you shared that about Biotin. I had no idea about all the possibly side effects.

Ok it's not a big deal if you take biotin and you like keep taking it if you want to take biotin and your concerned about side effects consult your doctor no body is calling anyone stupid there are side effects to every single medication or supplement out there and it effects everyone different we are all capable to make are own choice no need to sit here and argue!
