Six week nail growth plan...
In mid
November after a few broken nail casualties, (caused putting up our market
stall in the rain). I cut all my nails off, right back to the pink, it was
terrible, they looked appalling, but I did it to prove a point! In 6 weeks
(by Christmas) I had nails that I could see over the ends of my fingers.
Here is how!
You will need: A Green Hands Glass Nail File, Green Hands Cuticle
Oil, a nail brush, hand cream and determination! These items are
available as a special offer pack (below).
Starting point - every nail needs to be the same length, if you bite your
nails make a conscious decision to find another nasty habit for six weeks
and see if you can kick biting your nails! If you aren't a biter, but can't
get your nails to grow and you can see some white you may well manage this
in 4 weeks. Give it a go.
So get filing: every nail to the same length, file straight across the
top and from outside to centre. On very short nails you should follow the
shape of your 'smile line' where the pink meets the white. Avoid filing down
the sides, you mustn't make a rounded shape until you can see your nail over
the end of your finger from the other side!
Apply cuticle oil to every nail as part of your bedtime routine.
Change your handsoap to a more gentle and less harsh and drying
formulation, try Lavera
(click here) or Suma.
Maintain your usual hand cream routine. (Unless you don't have one!
in which case, cream in the morning, after lunch and before bed works for
me!)
Re-apply cuticle oil during the day, after hand washing, or whenever
your nails feel dry.
If you catch a nail, file it immediately, remembering to file all your nails
to the same length.
Make a note of when you filed your nails last, and aim to do a very light
accross all nails file every 4 to 5 days. Keep it up and email me at the end
of your plan and let me know how you got on, take a "before" and "after"
photo and send it to me! I'll be thrilled to see your progress.

Treatment Guidelines:
Use once a day, every day, or more as required. Set up a
routine, perhaps keep it at your bedside and massage your
cuticles and nail area with a single drop of oil at bedtime.
Try and find a time where you won't be washing your hands
every five minutes. The massage you do will nourish the
nail from the inside by stimulating blood flow, the mixture
of essential oils will nourish the skin and nail and stop
you losing so much moisture from the inside out. This
allows the nail to maintain its own flexibility. Noticeable
results have been recorded within 2 to 4 weeks of using this
oil. Continue to use your other treatments (hand creams,
gentle hand soaps) as normal.
