If you’re anything like me, the thought of growing nails faster simply does not even cross your mind. And when you hear how to do it, you might automatically think: “Why would I want to?” But to be honest, I would — and I know that others would too if they tried it. There are a handful of things you can try that will boost your nail growth, and they don’t require any tools. All it takes is five minutes a day and a step-by-step guide. To get you started, these easy steps to growing your nails faster will help you start gaining more time to do other things (like organize your cabinets!).
Tip #1: Start with a small nail. Don’t start so fast that you end up with big, angry, overgrown nails. The reason for this is that when you start to grow nails, you’re adding nail polish to your skin, which puts more pressure on the skin and nails — so start small and grow outward from there. Or else that tiny nail will be the sign of how you’d like to grow nails in the future.
Tip #2: Wash your hands to remove any residual products on your nails. You can wash your hands before starting with the first step of growing nails or while the nails are growing out. Most overgrown nails can be returned to their former glory with good hygiene and regular daily application of polish.

Tip #3: Don’t get rid of your old nail polish as quickly as you can. Do as much care for your nails as you can, and if they start to develop streaks and cracks, turn your tap water over to run for a little bit longer to kill the bacteria. You don’t want your nails to start to suffer.
Tip #4: Choose a nail shape (or a combination of nails) you like. Pair them together in an asymmetrical way to allow light to reach them (like low-cut flat, patterned, and rounded) and keep your nails compact.
Tip #5: Use a multi-purpose nail file: a soft-touch micro-gum, a dry pad, or even a flat metal file, such as Eppendorf Fluxite or Eppendorf Fluxite-All Wood, depending on your style. Nails tend to move more on the micro-gum, and if you use the flat surface you’ll need to move around them a lot to keep them focused. Not only does a file help your nails grow faster, but it will also help keep them more organized.
