Nail Care Tip: Healing brittle nails

submitted by Dali, Nairobi, MA Kenya

Tip description / details:
Problem: brittle, breaking nails. Solution offered by grandma: Mix henna powder in a little hot water and coconut oil. Put the mixture in a bowl of hot water so that the henna 'cooks' well. Let this mixture cool first before you spread it on your nails. 10 minutes is enough unless you want the deep henna color on your nails. Do this once every week. I got used to making fists with my hands just to hide may nails. But now I am the proud owner of beautiful long nails.

Ingredients:
some henna powder, a little oil, a little water

How to prepare:
mix the henna powder, and hot coconut oil and water. Let it stand in hot water for about 10 minutes to allow it to 'cook'

How to use:
Do not make mixture too thick. apply mixture on nails.

Results (observed by submitter):
My brittle nails that chipped and broke or folded at every opportunity stopped chipping and now I 'grow' nails.

Costs involved:
less than a dollar
