I know this might sound strange, but every since I statred taking care of my hair, my nails are the longest they have ever been in my life!

FYI I have not changed my diet, nor have I taken supplements whatsoever. The only thing I have done is use UBH hair products for the past 6 months. I also notice that the more I see my nails grow, my NG seems to follow :look:

Any of you have this happen to you? Just curious
 
in taking care of your hair are u using oils more? they say oils stimulate nail growth. i dont think the two are linked only because my nails grow fast long and are healthy, while my hair struggles lol. instead of ppl askin if its my real hair they are always askin are those ur real nails lol!
 
I think it is an indication of fast hair growth. My aunt has hip length hair and really strong, long white nails.

I don't know where I read it but somewhere I read that the same protein or makup found in hair was found in nails and that the growth may be linke together.

LOL I go through the same thing! It's probably the oils then because I've been using many oil based products for my hair. I like the long nails though...now only if my hair could catch up to their growth! :lachen:
 
they are made up of the same thing , but hair and nails have their own growth pattern so no, not really. i thought the same , but the reason why my nails are thriving is because i havent had an urge to chew them off lol.

Really? Ok, now I'm gonna have to do some research...I'll post what I find out :bookworm:
 
I think there is a link. Even if your nails grow long and your hair isn't that long you have the potential to grow hair faster or longer than average. My hair growth is slow to moderate and my nails have never been really long. But I do think there is a correlation. I wish I had some facts to back it up because this is just based on observations of my friends, family etc.
 
Well this link certainly does not apply to me :( . My hair is extremely healthy and strong but my nails have ALWAYS been brittle not necessarily soft at all, but brittle and they chip / peel as soon as they grow :cry: . I take a multi vitamin and MSM and I see no difference in my nails at all.. even if I oil them at night,they still stay the same way :confused:
 
My Nails always grows fast I have to cut them every week, my hairs grows okay, but my nails grow fast, they are always in water or oil ot something LOL!! They grow whether I take Vitamins or not. My hair too. but my nails are faster.

Yep...what she said. The same vitamins that lead to long thick nails can lead to long thick hair. It may not be 100% the case that if you have strong nails that you will have strong hair because there are a number of factors such as manipulation, heat usage, etc. However, I think when it comes to vitamin intake and pure growth...there is definitely a correlation.

you know, i def think that people who have nails that grow quickly also have hair that does the same but because of manipulation, heat, and a host of other things, they may not really notice.
