Garlic is often hailed for its benefits to both health and beauty, including promoting stronger nails. Here are three effective ways to use garlic to help strengthen brittle nails and encourage faster growth:
1. Garlic and Olive Oil Treatment
How it works: Garlic contains allicin, a compound with antifungal properties that can help prevent nail infections and support nail health. Olive oil is rich in vitamin E and fatty acids, which can moisturize and nourish the nails.
How to use it:
Crush a few garlic cloves to release their juice.
Mix the crushed garlic with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Heat the mixture slightly (you can warm it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds).
Soak your nails in the warm garlic olive oil solution for about 15–20 minutes.
Repeat this treatment 2-3 times a week for noticeable results.
