Jojoba Oil

Cristine of Simply Nailogical recommends this for nail support, she believes it is helpful for growing out your nails.

It is pretty cheap if you buy it pure and not in a fancy container.

It has a just the faintest 'oily' smell, but it is barely detectable.

I like how it feels on the nails, but I think it is making the skin on my fingers a little dry, it gives me little harder spots.
It may be something else but nothing else has changed, so I just pair it with a hand cream.

I haven't had a broken nail in a while now :D


Price: 3.5/5 ($17.70 for 29mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (virtually none)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Thompson's - Skin, Hair & Nails - Dietary Supplement

These are my preferred vitamin supplement.
I like these ones because they (unlike so many Hair, Skin & Nail supplements contain selenium, not just silicon).

Now before we go any further, be warned.
There is a FINE LINE between selenium RDI and the amount that will 'uck with your shi' (including death)

Ok, this is for fish, but you get the idea.

Having said that, I know what to look for in terms of overdose symptoms and what is a safe dose.
And I can take 2 of these tablets a day and be fine.

(Also please be careful with any mineral or vitamin supplement, it is possible to OD on many things. Be nice to your body and ask your (MD) doctor)

When I take them, I notice my nails are stronger/grow faster and my hair grows faster.

I already take pretty good care of my skin (or else it's a jerk), so I don't notice much of a change in that department.

I would recommend taking these with food because the taste can 'repeat' on you otherwise (you burp and can taste them up to 2 hours later).

Price: 2/5 ($39.95 for 90 capsules)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real smell)
Effectiveness: 5/5

PSA

As with any supplement, please also check that it isn't a homeopathic 'remedy'. These are basically just water and DEFINITELY a scam.
Save your money.
