I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you some important and helpful tips about nail care. Ever have split or chipped nails and you don't know why. Perhaps your cuticles are dry and you'd like find a way to correct the problem. Nails are part of your skin. They are made of the same keratin, as skin and hair.
Toenails grow slower than fingernails.
Nails replace themselves every 5 to 6 months. Out of your 10 fingernails, the middle fingernail grows the fastest, while the thumb nail grows the slowest. Hangnails are caused by dry cuticles. Small white spots on the nail are called leuconychia. Leuconychia is caused by air bubbles, bruises, or other injuries to the nail.
