Hi guys. I need some nail facts for my website and have compiled this list. Can you please have a look and let me know if anything is not actually scientifically correct?
Nail Facts
- men's nails grow faster than women's nails
- fingernails grow faster than toenails
- nails grow faster in summer than winter
- nails grow approx 1cm per 100 days
- nails and hair are both made up of the same protein; keratin
- cuticle is non living tissue
- the slowest growing nail is the middle finger, fastest thumb
- nails don't breathe, therefore if cared for correctly don't need a "break" from acrylic enhancements
- typing on a PC can stimulate nail growth
