How long does it take for finger nails to grow?

Normally .. because i have shortish nails and i was just wondering!How long does it take for finger nails to grow?
The answer to this question is akin to the answer to the question 'How long is a piece of string?' You'll find that everybody's fingernail growth rates are different. It also depends how much fingernail you wish to grow. Some people leave their nails grow way passed the tips of their fingers (particularly females) and others prefer to cut them short. I have estimated (not a guess, mind you) that my thumbnail (right hand) is 16mm long. By memory it takes around 6-7 days for 3mm of growth to form. This quite obviously means that if I were to cut my nail right back to the skin and let it regrow it would take around one month (maybe slightly longer) for my thumbnail to regrow. I've also noticed in the past that my nails do not grow at the same rate. In conclusion the best way to find this out for yourself is to decide the question you want to answer and measure it on yourself.How long does it take for finger nails to grow?
Hi





Mine grow really fast like I can cut my nails as short as the tip of my fingers and within 3 weeks I have really long nails but it varies from person to person.





Take calcium tablets or eat a diet rich in calcium like cheese milk etc. Also multi vits are good.





You can also buy stuff you paint on your nails and it makes them stronger. This might be a good idea for you to help you grow them faster as they wont break.

It really depends. Its mostly a couple of weeks, But if you takes certain kinda vitamen pills that will help. theres vitamens that will help your nails grow faster n it makes ur hair gorw faster too. Also it makes them shinnier and stuff =D
let me think, I hit my middle finger nail in december and it took until march to grow completely back. So I would say at least three months. But I have heard that it depends on the nail. Some of them do grow faster then others.
why bother answering if about 20 people have already answered. I am kinda doing it forth etwo points like everyone else but hey if you wana pick me as best answer go ahead. I will even answer your questions, it grows abot 2-3 millimeters a week. =)
It is different from person to person. Some people can grow their nails out in a matter of a week, while others take 3 weeks to 1-2 months for their nails to grow.
if u massage hand cream/moisturiser/body lotion or whatever into the base of your nails it will make them grow faster and keep them healthier. Also a good dose of sunlight will help with this.





My nails grow pretty quickly takes about a week or so for them to get long.
It depends on person to person. Take gelatin tablets and calcium, that will help them grow quicker and stronger.
It really depends, mine grow extremely fast, but I have a friend whose grow really slow.
About a millimetre a week.
Don't know exactly, but I sat there one night with nothing better to do and watched for them to grow... hours later, nothing!
every 6-8 weeks,
That depends how long you want them??? I cut mine off 2 weeks ago and they grown about 2-3mm since then
Several weeks, I think
