My nails are soft, thin, and extremely too flexible, all around very weak... The tips arn't yellow, but instead of being white like they should are almost transparent. How do you fix this? Will try ANYTHING to have beautiful WHITE nails!

Having a good diet and taking your vitamins will help very much in improving your nails.

You have nutrient deficiency. Increase the amount of iron-rich foods in your diet — this means lean red meat, liver, eggs, green leafy vegetables, pulses, lentils and dried apricots. Eating vitamin C-rich foods at the same time will help to ensure that your body absorbs plenty of iron (good sources of vitamin C include berries, oranges and kiwi fruit). Caffeine interferes with iron absorption, so try to avoid having it with meals.

Pregnancy helped mine. I am not suggesting that you get pregnant, though! :) I think that the prenanal vitamins helped. Try vitamins. If that doesn't help you might talk to you doctor. You might have a fungus. Sounds gross but it's worth checking in to. Good luck.

I used to have really soft nails, so much so that I couldn't make a bed without them bending backwards. Even scratching my head would cause them to bend! A friend recommended Perfectil Hair and Nails vitamin supplement. They are much stronger now, and my hair looks good! They are still not as strong as I would like, so I still paint them with clear nail strengthener. Sometimes I think genetics have a lot to do with it. Good Luck!

They have a vitamin specifically for this problem. I don't remember what it's called but I used to work in a drug store and they sold it. Go to a drug store and look in the vitamin section...it's a pink bottle with a hand on it. If you take this as directed your nails will get better.
