Nail Hardening Techniques
July 29, 2008
Many people suffer from weak, soft and brittle nails. These nails are soft and not firm enough to endure different styles, patterns and polishes. Due to various reasons, women’s nails are often the most affected as they display a tendency to become brittle, uneven and crack. Hence, various different techniques have been tried and tested to cure these nail imperfections so as to attain strong and hard nails.
Contrary to the general belief, consuming gelatin drinks does not help in the hardening of nails. For that, one needs to consume a healthy, balanced and a nutritious diet which consists of all the essential nutrients required for the health of one’s nails and body. A general multivitamin and mineral supplement will help to ensure that there are no nutrient deficiencies contributing to the problem of soft nails. Sometimes it also helps to take supplements which contain silica plus evening primrose oil. Rubbing Vitamin E oil on the nails can also help in strengthening them. In addition, one should avoid getting one’s nails excessively wet and thus should prevent them by wearing gloves while performing household chores.
To prevent the finger nails from excessive softness which might lead to their splitting and breaking, many nail hardeners are available which help in providing a protective coating on the nail. While these techniques exhibit nail hardening capabilities, they do not provide the strength, structural integrity and durability. There has been a present invention in the technique of hardening one’s nails which requires applying to the natural nail surface a patch comprising of a thin mat of natural cellulose fibers followed by saturation of the in-place with cyanoacyrlate glue. This helps in bonding the individual fibers with one another and to the nail surface to form a hard and a protective nail coating. All these methods with a rich and a nutritious diet can help in the hardening and strengthening of one’s nails.
