The KZbin channel “the salon life” really goes into depth on why we don’t need to mess with the PNF (proximal nail fold) and the difference between that and the cuticle. Very good info on caring for your nails on this channel. She also says stay away from the Russian manicure! Thanks Dr D for this great info

[@lee-annsmith8566]

I was coming here to recommend The Salon Life too! She promotes a gentle manicure technique that has really improved my nails!

[@sherric7860]

I love The Salon Life! Anna Renata is one of the best sources of fact based information on nails and how to have healthy nails. The other source is Doug Schoon.

[@lindatartaglia5961]

Every winter I would have the worst nails, brittle,cracked, and peeling. A few months ago I started slugging my hands and nails and I now have the best nails ever. I do this while I watch you and by the end of the video I’m ready to go!

[@hoovergrant]

Please do a video about Raynauds and the hands. Love your channel, great contents.

[@latherandlace]

[@ladysaluzzo]

Yes!

[@amandawood3817]

Yes, please educate us on Raynauds. Thanks in advance

[@midlifemom5829]

OPI Repair Mode used 2x daily has greatly improved my brittle nails and helped reduce the ridges.

[@AmyOfEarth]

Speaking of “exercising” your nails, I’m 51 and I remember seeing women in offices filing paperwork and I would notice these long, beautiful, natural nails as they worked their fingers - sometimes so fast you would be amazed!

[@paulinesvisuals]

I soak my nails in salt water for about 15 minutes a day when I want them to grow, helps make my cuticles look good too.

[@vanessamvarela]

Does it make the tips whiter too? I've been thinking of doing this for that reason. When I go fishing at the coast my nails always look great lol except my skin is so dry.

[@nml1930]

Thank you. Arthritis in finger joints has damaged some of my nails. I’ve never heard anyone address this issue.

[@irisk934]

I definitely noticed that my nails grew faster when I used to play piano. I never knew about the different rates of growth though, I love how you are just full of fun facts, Dr. Dray!

[@deekayvixen]

I struggle with nail biting and skin picking and have very damaged and disfigured nails (habit tic deformity). I have been applying superglue/nail glue to seal my cuticles and it works well. The minoxidil tip 😮 I need to try this. Thank you!

[@747_bearoplane]

This was super helpful! Do you have any tips on ingrown toenails?

[@ajfuller83]

So my experience with having brittle nail syndrome is different. My index and middle finger nails grow the slowest and break easily, while my ring and pinky fingers grow claws. Lol I'm going to try the vaseline/glove strategy, so thanks for the tip!

[@violetviolet888]

@ajfuller83 watch "The Salon Life". 5:49 Dr Dray should have added the application of 'cuticle" oil which is really the "proximal nail fold" *before* applying petrolatum. The cuticle is the adhesive between our skin (proximal nail fold) and the top of our nail bed that protects our fingers against bacterial infection. Jojoba oil is the best most penetrative. Apply jojoba oil after every hand washing and before you go to bed around your nails, then apply petrolatum which is the occlusive to seal in the oil. I use 1-2 drops of jojoba oil on one nail and rub nails and surrounding skin on both hands against each other to spread and apply it so there is never oil on the front of my hands/fingers and I can go about my day. A little goes a long way. It would take three full days of soaking in jojoba oil for it to completely soak into the nail bed so this is why daiy use over time is required to be effective, it would likely take a full month of frequent, daily use to really start to demonstrate a difference. Once achieved, the rest is daily/nightly maintenance. Bliss Kiss makes excellent nail oil products and they work with nail anatomy scientist Doug Schoon who explains the distinction between the proximal nail fold and the cuticle. Their website is also informative in addition to The Salon Life. Also check out the comments to the videos from TSL.

[@marylawman8603]

I've been blessed with freakishly strong nails. Not sure why. I don't take supplements, rarely use nail polish, keep them super short and have hypothyroidism. Lol! They've been this way my whole life. I've never used fake nails which I understand can weaken them. And I don't push back my cuticles or trim them so maybe that has helped over the years. Happy Tuesday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a lovely evening. 💙

[@vanessamvarela]

Now I can double duty my Aquaphor at night. It's mostly petroleum and I use it for a lip mask, now cuticles too!

[@maryklock8989]

Thank you Dr. Dray. My nails are an embarrassment to me. You described them perfectly. Some have ridges, they split and peel. This is so helpful!

[@inspiredKREASHUNS]

Omgoodness. That correlation between active fingers and faster nail growth is so true! It probably explained why my nails grew so much when I used to type a lot. It drove me crazy! I was always cutting them cause I found they got in my way since my nails grew straight out as opposed to curving upwards. Fascinating!

[@lisaarnstrom222]

I have brittle nails I will start to treat them with vaseline. Maybe start to do knitting again.😊

[@stefs1155]

Woohoo!!!! I’ve been admiring your nails. I don’t like long nails but I want strong nails. Mine are weak. My cuticles grow like crazy tho. Ugh. I’ve been using the OPI Nail Envy you commented to me that you’re using. 😊

[@DrDrayzday]

I have had good luck with that nail polish 👍🏼 it really helps temporarily reduce breakage

[@myratan8168]

I have very soft flat nails that I can just tear off. I don't do any wet work etc that would cause soft nails. They only become a bit stronger and more rounded if I take a multivitamin supplement. I have Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and have seen many other people with EDS comment that they have soft and/or flat nails too which is interesting.

[@maricelg777]

Happy Tuesday, Dr.Dray❤

[@beyond50skin]

I have brittle nail syndrome (ridges, splits, peeling) which is so much worse now that I am post menopausal. I used to use petroleum jelly now I use castor oil and my cuticles are SOOO much better. I 100% recommend it. Minoxidil??? I've used it for hair for years for hair growth with good results... can't wait to see if it works for nails. 💜

[@jillhiston4531]

Thank you for your tip about castor oil. How often do you use i?

[@beyond50skin]

3 x a day. But I no longer recommend the 7 minerals brand.

[@MinakoYamada]

That was very interesting, now I finally know why my nails on my left hand grew extremly slow compared to the right hand after I had surgery on my left elbow. They accidentally damaged the radial nerve during surgery and I couldn't move the hand and fingers for months, so no minor trauma, no stimulation of nail growth. After the nerve has healed they grow at the same rate as before.

WONDERFUL video! I've got a couple questions. (1) I have always had nice nails, but now my middle and pointer nails grow with a bend on one side once they've about 1/4 inch, any thoughts on how to get them to grow straight out like they should ? I'm 55 and post menopause. (2) do you have a video on toenail fungus? My big toenails are thick/hard to trim, and the others are just brittle. I'd love you to help. Since I found YOU, you're the only person I really trust. Have a sweet day 💛

Dr. Dray, what causes yellowed nails (sans nailpolish wear) & what can be done about them? Note: my nails grow out strong but in past few months ALL my nails are yellow. I haven't worn any kind of polish in years & I've cut them short several times to hopefully get rid of the yellow (thinking it was something I was doing externally to the nails), but they always all cont. to grow out yellow now. I'm almost 60. Please help, I'm totally freaked out!😢

[@nimbustuba]

Hi Dr Dray! Very helpful video. My nail split all the way through the nail bed diagonally to the other end. Do I need to see a doctor to get it removed or can I just wear a bandaid until it grows back. I tried to patch it with the teabag and nail glue method, but it didn’t work. It’s my dominant hand, index finger so it gets a lot of use! Thanks!!

I trimmed my cuticles for the first time a week or so ago, and ugh its just been peeling back since. Its quite irritating!

[@lalaoneil2813]

QUESTION - please help. Every late fall to mid spring I struggle with my fingertips splitting. First time it happened was after I had my first son (21 years ago!) I have tried everything and I still suffer with this - and it is suffering! It hurts like crazy. The only thing that makes it feel better is bandaids with Neosporin but then the bandaids end up severely inflaming my cuticle and then my nails fall apart. I really just want to stop the splitting. Any suggestions Dr. Dray? Comment section?

[@cautiouscoyote8590]

I used to have this problem until I added a few habits: (1) last thing at night massage in petroleum jelly or healing ointment (like CeraVe) concentrating on fingertips then cover with disposable gloves. When you awake toss the gloves & rub in the remaining lotion. (2) Be diligent wearing rubber gloves when doing dishes or any other wet cleaning. (3) Don't let your fingers get cold! Wear gloves outdoors as soon as the temperature starts dropping. Massage healing ointment into your fingertips & cuticles first if you have time & know you'll have the gloves on for a while. Keep a tube in your jacket pocket.

[@marylawman8603]

I feel your pain! I've found that putting a thick layer of Vaseline on my hands at night and then white cotton gloves has helped me a lot. But I still sometimes have splitting in the Winter. To alleviate the soreness and pain I use super glue in the splits. It really helps and the soreness goes away almost immediately. 😊

[@shandlarichardson3407]

In the blue chapstick sized bins of natural grocery stores, there is a petrolatum tube that helps splitting finger tips. I take it every fall/winter. It greatly dimishes the splits and painful fingertips

[@lalaoneil2813]

I appreciate all your replies! Thank you! Over the years I have done probably all of these things (OMG the crazy glue hurt so much!). It’s so weird that I never had it and now I always have it. I thought maybe it was a fungus or a vitamin deficiency or some other easily identifiable problem. I guess there are worse things so I will keep trying and hope for something to work. Have a great day!
