I’m a nail whizz and use a cheap cooking ingredient to help grow my nails stronger and longer

IF YOUR nails are constantly snapping and breaking, you're not alone.

Of course, you could go down the fake nail route.

But they can be pretty pricey and leave your nails weaker than they were to begin with.

Luckily, this nail pro shared her genius trick to grow your natural nails longer and stronger.

Ashley often shares nail tips on her and this hack is one of her best.

Her hack involves adding fresh lemon juice into some olive oil and soaking your nails for 10 minutes.

She said: "If your nails are weak or brittle, give this soak a try.

"This mixture will not only moisturize your nails, but it will add strength and flexibility."

Flexibility might not sound like something you want in your nails, but it will prevent them breaking so easily.

Since the trick uses olive oil and lemon juice, you probably wont even have to dash to the shops to give it a whirl.

The nail whizz shared: "This has worked for so many of my nail community members."

If you're a fan of manicures, but want to dodge acrylics, having strong nails is vital.

The pro also recommends using almond oil for adding shine to nails, as well as avocado oil for healing nails.

You can also try using coconut oil if you have ridges in your nails and jojoba oil for a deeper penetration.

Viewers of the hack loved how cheap and easy it was.

One quipped: "I've started doing this."

Another said: "I love the magic oils!"
