Growing Out Damaged Nails for 30 Days.

[@IsabellaDemarko]

These are EXPERIMENTAL Beauty videos. To those of you thinking that looking after my hair and nails means I have something wrong with my mental health (yes people actually comment this often) you are very much mistaken. Please don't read into things too much, they're just videos made for your entertainment.

[@nolongerusing2784]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. As someone who’s been watching you since way before your viral nail cutting video I’m thankful that you’re getting the recognition you deserve. But at the same time I don’t like how many new viewers there are solely because they bring so much hate with them for absolutely no reason.

[@yelly11]

what's wrong with looking after your hair and nails? it's self care

[@нико-к4д]

Why would people think theres something wrong with you taking care of yourself on a beauty channel... Theres nothing wrong with taking care of how you look??? Plus this is a channel giving tips and trying things out w h a t

hello! I know you might not want to hear this but for your hair try this. Boil 3 cup of water and one cup of flax seed. strain the seeds out and use the gel on your hair.

I would cut them off at this point... I think its better to start this journey with 'fresh' healthy nails, this way the won't chip as easily.

[@meaquinones789]

The damaged nail is the entire nail, not just the edge. I do understand that you're saying just clip the end off but it'll just continue to grow, also, filing is healthier than clipping :)

I actually cut them off completely ( my nails) and then i clean them and I apply oils , creams and then let them grow and file them and they honestly look amazing , so I would suggest you to cut them off and start over .. this will make them more strong and healthy .. ps: i love you 💗💗

[@nesrine-601]

Which oils do you apply

[@alicialay166]

Completely? Like up to the cuticle?

[@emublumu]

Jajoba oil works really well, and applying it on your cuticle and underneath your nail where the nail meets your finger are the best places to put it, if you want a better explanation you should check out simplynailogical's videos

[@NinaNina-zi6xs]

@@alicialay166 😂😂

[@mady3639]

nêsrine i use a mix of olive oil and almond oil .. it helps nourish and moisturize the cuticle and grows the nail healthy and strong ( extra tip : if your nails don’t grow fast .. try rubbing them with garlic it really works 👍🏻)

[@ourcharliebo]

if you wear regular nail polish (cap the free edge!!) and a good top coat your nails will have layer of protection that isn’t damaging - the nail with polish is thicker and less likely to break. that’s definitely helped me, and lots of jojoba oil lol

My nails are always damaged because I sometimes wear fake nails and I rip them off myself. (I know, not the best thing for my nails.) Bu they never chip while growing because 1- I buff them 2- I always wear clear or matte nail polish 3- I put oil on them everyday

I love the almond shape! Just discovered your channel as I'm trying to regrow my strong nails after some glue on that damaged them. For months I wasn't able to have them completely healthy. Now they finally are back to normal. My final goal is to grow them a bit more and keep the almond shape.

[@eggfriedrice2002]

i have some tips : •use a glass nail file !!!!!NEVER USE CLIPPERS !!!!!!!!!!!glass files dont leave jaged edges like an average emory board and also don’t saw back and forth when filing !! •oil your nails with JOJOBA OIL every morning and night and more often if they are still dry DO NOT use nail hardener !!!!! the oil will make your nails more flexible if they are harder they will break off but if you oil them regularly they will bend but not break or split. you can buy jojoba oil on amazon it’s not expensive. you can put it in a pen for handy or just in the bottle •i prefer a squoval (square but rounded shape )it stops your nails snagging in things like jumpers •painting your nails is not going to effect the health of your nails !! it actually gives it an extra layer of protection. yellow nails mean nothing about your nail health it just means they’re stained from the colour. •never ever buff your nails. it’s just getting rid of layers that your need to make your nails strong !!! it is completely unessecary •if you have the patience use an acetone free nail polish remover personally i just don’t have the patience and i use 100% acetone but this is very drying to the nails and i wouldn’t recommend doing this •be careful after being in water!! and also make sure to wear fives when washing up , cleaning etc..... hope if u see this you find it helpful (i’m not an professional but i have been into nails since i was 8 and have done a lot of research and tried a lot of diffrent things) GOOD LUCK ! xx😊😊

[@patriciap.5587]

Can you make a video on how to file your nails into different shapes? (Oval, square, coffin, and others)

[@olgazuluaga9639]

Yes please! I’m terrible at filing my nails!

[@bookworm2308]

The way I got my thin, short nails to stop breaking was by using a thick layer of base coat on the nail, with a thick layer of nail strengthener, I made sure to get the sides and tops of my nails. Rubbing coconut oil on them whenever I take my polish off! A fancy design that took you long to complete works well too, because if you’re a nail biter (like me 😂) you won’t be as tempted to bite the nails, because of all the work you put into the design! ❤

About maybe 6 months ago I grew out my nails and I was getting a lot of compliments, and then half of my nails starting chipping on me and I really didn’t want to cut them back at the same length but I started getting stressed over other personal things like School work so I cut them down to the smile line and I felt relieved and stop starting at my nails every second but I still wear nail polish every day still which I have no problems with. I prefer my nails average length but I would continue cutting them if they were damaged like that, and start the growth after the splits get clipped off. I’m planning on growing my nails long again when the weather is nicer around where I live so they’re less dry

Thank you for these re-growing videos. I have problem nails on the best of days, but I also have damage from drugstore gel polish I'm growing out, and I'm in that phase where they'll grow some, look good for, like, a day; then one will break at a damaged spot, and I have to file them all back. Again. I'm hoping that in a few weeks all that rough stuff will be gone, and I can have a fresh canvas. Luckily, I found a polish brand that--fingers crossed--doesn't damage my nails. It's free from several harsh ingredients, so I'm looking forward to being able to polish safely soon.

There a loads of nail serums you can find for purchase and can use in order to repair your damaged/thin/chapped nails. Also using moisturizing hand creams that are enriched with vitamins (like vit E) and massaging your nails too can help them. I am doing my nails with shellac and after I am removing it, I am leaving my nails in a repairing period about 1-2 weeks. 🎉 I have a friend with thin nails that are not able to grow too long before chapping. She started using a nail vitamin b5 serum consistenly and her nails are slowly getting stronger!

If you want to grow out your nails, you should apply regular polish regularly, before my nails are so weak and always breaks when I only apply clear polish/top coat but when I got out of school and started applying regular colored polish, it finally grew without breaking or snapping off since it has more protection.

I used to work in the food industry and before I had fairly long/strong nails but not even a week in, my nails became disgusting. Why? I spent *hours* elbow deep in dish water (didn't wear those glove things because I always managed to get a buckets worth of water in those things somehow, thus rendering them pointless). Now that I'm out of the food industry, I can definitely see a massive difference in my nails, and for the better.

Nice experiment. I’m currently doing the same as I have found my nails have started to grow upwards due to all the damage. Moving forward, I suggest you to kept cutting them short to prevent the shape becoming strange. (6:11, you see a divot in the nail) You also dont want to risk the nail chipping to where it impacts your nail bed, you have such pretty nail shape so honestly it would break my heart more than yours 😂

[@SadieRayy88]

Just a tip: natural square nails are super hard to maintain. The corners always seem to snap off. In my experience I have found that doing a round shape, oval shape, or an almond shape really helps because it seems like if you bump against something your nail just glides by. Also, I put on a nail strengthener if my nails are weak or just in general. It seems like if I have nail polish on it makes them more durable.

[@IsabellaDemarko]

That’s alright, I’ve been growing my nails for years so I know these things. I chose square because I wanted to, regardless of the fact I knew they would chip (as I mentioned in the video) x

[@nennejoh]

So if you or anyone else want tips, i've got natural nail that look kind of like fake nails. I constantly get asked if they're real and yeah. They're hard and only break if I hit them hard, then obviously they break off but they don't chip easily. They're naturally really white and healthy looking, never dry, always smooth (I have OCD, can't stand my nails not being 100 % smooth). My best tips? 1. I file them into the shape I want (i like them point since it makes my fingers look more slender and I feel like a cat) once a few weeks. I file really carefully and make the shape with the rought side and then buff them out. I always "test" run them against a fabric, if the nail get's stuck in fabric it's not smooth enough. I also buff the upside of the nail until it's shiny. 2. I use a kind of clear light pink nail polish and a top coat. If you don't want you natural nails to get yellow, this is recommended. The basically look like french manicure but natural. 3. That's it. I leave them like that. If the chip for some reason, i file them smooth again. I put on a new coat of nail polish when needed. I never bite my nails. I eat healthy and drick a lot of water. I love my nails, don't feel the same without them xd

[@nennejoh]

Also the oval shape is much better (or pointy) for not chipping, square chips so easily. 4:13 that's looking amazing, just file the edges and buff them a bit. :)

[@izukumidoriya6247]

I know this is a late comment, but if you keep your nails more round (almond), there won’t be no corners for your nails to get caught on things with therefore making your nails less prone to chipping, also cuticle oil! Oils such as coconut, almond, jojoba, olive, castor, Argan and so much more are so good for your nails and the skin around them.

[@carys6448]

[@fangirlkim1587]

I recommend using jojoba oil for your nails. Gets you strong and bendy nails. So instread of accidentally breaking and chipping it can save your nails life and only bend it

[@arisha-z3w]

I’m a little bit late to the party but I found your KZbin channel and serious can relate! Anyways, your nails look crazy good! Try using the brand “butter” on your nails rather than regular nail polish or base coat. This company is formaldehyde free, toluene free, and dibutyl phthalates free, it seriously helps strengthen and grow your nails. You may not see this comment but I hope you do❤️!

[@sophiahunter5243]

The reason your nails MIGHT be chipping/cracking is because they are too thick. You might not want to use a strengthening nail polish because if they are too strong, they are more likely to chip. If your nails are thinner, they will bend instead of chip. BUT don't buff your nails unless you know you need to. To test, press on the tip of your nail and if it doesn't bend, you just feel pressure, they're too thick.

[@eliewallace3653]

are you using nail oil? that is one thing that really helps.

Im on my nail growing journey (again) too, my nails were super long and 4 of them broke, pretty far down too, i kept them hanging on with nail glue for awhile and then decided to just go ahead and cut them in February. They also use to chip and break a lot. My nails are the same length as yours now, but i keep mine in a rounded square shape, and the top halves(to the tips) are a little bit yellow still from all the nail polish i was wearing in the beginning of the year. But overall my nails seem to be pretty healthy now 🤗
