How do nails grow?
Nail growth depends on several factors, and can be helped or even accelerated by different treatments. We'll reveal all the secrets of a manicure at the top, with beautiful nails strong and healthy !
The nail matrix: the manufacturing center
It is often not known but the growth of nail begins under the skin, in what is called the matrix. It can be seen in a partially transparent way under a small white crescent-shaped nail: it is the lunar. The matrix is the real one production center of cells that will form the nail plate. Taking care of this area is therefore essential for beautiful and strong nails, which grow quickly. Without forgetting the cuticles, little skins at the base of nails, which protect the matrix of nails!
Zoom on the nail anatomy.
Keratin: Key protein for growth
The keratinWe often hear about it, but what is it? It's a fiber protein that makes up 90% of the structure of our nailsIt plays a fundamental role in their growth and strength and rigidity. Within the matrix, cells charge themselves in keratin and generate a solid and uniform plate that grows regularly: it is the Keratinization process. Shock, disease, and deficiencies can disrupt this process and weaken the structure of the nail, causing striations or brittle nails.

Nail growth : good to know
Not all nails grow at the same speed: nail of a finger grows about 3 mm per month while the toe grows only 1 mm per month. And it varies according to the fingers of the hands: the shoot is faster with long fingers (index, major, ring) than with the thumb and atrial. Nail growth tends to accelerate in summer when it is hot and blood circulation is more important at the matrix level. However, nail growth tends to decrease with age.
