Why are nails so important?
Before we dive into the most important questions regarding nail growth, it is good to ask yourself what nails are actually for and why they are so important to us?
1. Protect us
One of the most important functions of our nails is to protect the sensitive tissue at the ends of our fingers and toes. Nails act as a kind of shield that protects the nerve endings and blood vessels in our fingertips and toes from injury and trauma. In other words, without nails, these parts of our body would be much more vulnerable to damage.
2. Your health
That is why healthy nails are also important, because nails can serve as indicators of your health. Changes in the color, texture, or shape of your nails can indicate various health problems. Consider, for example, iron deficiency, vitamin deficiency, fungal infections, or even conditions such as psoriasis or diabetes. It is therefore important to pay attention to the health of your nails.
3. We can't live without nails!
In conclusion, we must simply conclude that we cannot, nor do we want to, live without nails. After all, our nails enable you to pick things up, write, type, and even scratch. That is why we are happy every day that they are there, and why it is important to to take good care of your nails.
Now that you know why nails are so important for our health, it is high time to dive deeper into how you can grow your nails faster.
Question 1: How fast do nails grow?
Nails grow as newly formed cells push the nail plate forward, but what does that mean? The newly formed cells are young cells, and the cells that are pushed forward are, just like with your hair, dead cells.
The speed at which nails grow varies from person to person, but on average, nails grow about 3mm per month. This means that it is approximately takes six months before a fingernail has fully grown out.
However, nails grow more slowly in some people, but why is this? Various factors play a role, such as diet, type of work, or vitamin deficiency. It is also possible that your nails grow downwards or upwards. This can be caused by stubbing your toe or wearing shoes that are too small. This inhibits growth and can cause your nails to grow differently.
Question 2: Why do nails grow faster in the summer?
Have you ever wondered why our nails grow faster in the summer? Well, that's because in the summer we have on average more vitamin D receive from the sun than in the winter. As a result, our nails generally grow faster in the summer compared to other seasons.
Since it is not summer all year round in the Netherlands (unfortunately), we have developed various products to stimulate the growth of your nails, such as the Nail Growth Explosion, or the Herome Nail Growth Explosion:

Question 3: Why do toenails grow slower than fingernails?
The less blood that goes to the nails, the worse they grow. But besides your blood supply, there are a number of other reasons why your toenails grow slower than fingernails:
- Usage and pressure: Fingers are used much more than toes and are constantly exposed to pressure and friction. This physical pressure on your fingernails can stimulate their growth in response to the continuous repair and renewal of the nail plate. Toes generally experience less daily stress, resulting in less stimulation for toenail growth.
- Genetically determined: Nail growth is also partly genetically determined, which means that some people naturally have faster fingernail growth than others. The same applies to toenails; nails grow on both the fingers and the toes.
- Hormones: Hormonal changes can also affect the growth rate of nails. Consider, for example, pregnancy or puberty. These hormonal fluctuations lead to accelerated nail growth, and this can occur more frequently in the fingers than in the toes.
Conclusion: It is important to remember that healthy nails are more important are then its speed.
