Is it possible for coconut oil to strengthen the nails?
-
I've read your post about coconut oil being able to penetrate the hair and strenghten it. Now, since I'm looking for both something moisturizing for my cuticles and something to strengthen my nails I've started to aplly coconut oil to my nails and cuticles (only since yesterday, so I can't tell if it's working yet) so I wondered if it works the same way on nails as it does on hair? Can it penetrate the nailplate? And is it even possible for any product/ingredient to penetrate the nails and actually strengthen and condition them?

Too bad no one can answer this for me. Since my last post I've been applying coconut oil and also a mixture of sweet almond oil, jojoba oil and rice brain oil I made to my nails and cuticles (kind of a dupe of Solar oil from Creative nail design, but of course I have to guess at proportions). It seems to be working. My nails seem stronger, less ridged and the tops seem whiter (they always look transparent/greyish on me).
Now I'm going to apply the coconut oil to one hand and the mixture to the other, to the determine which one really works (best).
