1. Don't bite, pick, or peel!
           Damaging the nail bed can invite bacteria and fungi can cause infections

2. Clean your nails!
             Cleaning with a nail brush is a way to remove dirt, dead skin, and bacteria from underneath your nails. You could also make a scrub with 2 spoons sugar and 2 spoons olive oil to make a scrub to exfoliate your hands and cuticle areas. This will keep your hands clean and soft and also improve blood circulation in them.

3. Take biotin supplements
         Research suggests that biotin can strengthen weak nails, and improves nail health.

4. Moisturize your hands
        Get in the habit of using moisturizer, it gives moisture to your nails, preventing hangnails and keeping your hands soft. Also, you can massage any kind of oil  around your cuticles to hydrate them and provide moisture to them enabling your nails to grow faster.

5. Don't pull off hangnails
           It tears the healthy tissue around the nail bed which doesn't look good and can lead to infection

6. Keep your Nails Dry
           Excessive moisture can cause your nails to grow brittle and split, so wear gloves when you wash dishes and avoid soaking your hands in the tub.

7. Wear gloves when using harsh chemicals
        Strong cleaning detergents, like bleach, can weaken nails.

8. If you have brittle nails, use clear nail polish
          This will help your nails retain their natural moisture. If you tend to have paper-thin nails, there are nail hardeners that have fibers in the liquid which help tremendously.

9. Trim your nails evenly
          You should cut your fingernails by following the natural curve of your fingers. Rounded tips look better on most people rather than square, softening the hand for a more delicate look. It is important to trim the nails to prepare them to be filed.
