How can I do that ? I waited for 6-7 months but they are still short. I wish to have longer hair because it is pretty. I also want to have longer nails, I love getting them painted, it looks pretty,
btw I am a boy Blush

No need for the blushing face Smile plenty of boys like to have longer hair and make up. You can buy specific blends of vitamins that are supposed to help hair and nails to grow stronger but tbh a multi-vit will probably be cheaper and contain the same things.

Personally I don't think you need long hair or nails to make them look pretty, I'm female and a nail biter - I still paint mine and I have short hair, which I can style in lots of ways.

But if only long will do, there are plenty of places offering extensions for both. Maybe try your local college for good prices on beauty treatments.

Look for a supplement containing biotin. I take a general purpose vitamin and it contains biotin and the biotin has helped my hair grow faster.

As for your nails, simply rub a tiny amount of vaseline onto the nail at bedtime and within a week you will see a huge difference in your nail, stronger and longer.

Lots of exercise to boost the blood supply, good food, adequate hydration and sleep. Massaging your nail beds and scalp will also stimulate the blood supply and boost growth (look for the inversion method on YouTube). Protect your hair and nails from breakage by treating them gently.

Until then, why not fake it with wigs, extensions and acrylics? Most of the women you see with long nails have had them put on in the salon.

Excuse me but you've been given some rubbish advice here. Just because you rub coconut oil on your hair, it won't grow faster. Just because you rub Vaseline onto your nails, they won't grow faster.
Crochita if you take a general purpose witamin that contains biotin, how do you know it was exactly the biotin that helped your hair growth? It could have been any of the other ingredients, or more possibly their combined effect.
These things (hair- and nail growth) always come from within. Rubbing stuff on them might make their appearance better but it won't help with the growing. There are genetical factors too. If your parents have great hair and nails, you are likely to inherit them, or same with rubbish hair.

Just make sure you eat well and have healthy lifestyle.

Some topicals are said to be stimulating to the follicle: caffeine, rosemary oil, etc?
