How to grow nails faster in one week?

While you can't dramatically increase nail growth in just one week, you can optimize conditions for maximum growth and prevent breakage. Here's what actually helps:

Moisturize constantly - dry nails break and appear shorter. Apply cuticle oil (jojoba or vitamin E) 3-4 times daily and thick hand cream after every wash. Hydrated nails are more flexible and less prone to breaking.

Protect your nails - wear gloves for cleaning and dishes. Avoid using nails as tools. Keep them filed smooth to prevent snagging. A clear hardening polish can provide protection.

Nutrition matters - ensure adequate protein, biotin, iron, and zinc. Stay well-hydrated. Gently massage nail beds to increase blood flow to the matrix where growth occurs.

Realistically, nails grow about 0.5-1.2mm weekly. The American Academy of Dermatology has evidence-based advice for nail health.
