Okay everybody I waited until I received my package of white iodine before telling you about it. I ran across this information last week and decided to try it for myself. All the comments I read by ladies that have tried white iodine for nail strength promise it works! Supposedly it binds the protein in your finger nails and this causes them to become stronger and grow. White iodine is a First Aid antiseptic just the same as the red one we all remember as a kid only it's clear not white. After reading many post on regimen and testimonials of how the different ladies applied this product to their nails, I decided to hook-up mine the Cynthia Washington way!
White Iodine for nail strength
My goal is to share ALL the knowledge I have obtained over the last nine years about hair, skin and nails with everyone who is "Mane conscious"!

Treatment for damaged or weak nails
I took an old bottle of cuticle nail oil I hadn't used in a while, emptied the oil washed the bottle & nail brush with soft soap and let dry. Some ladies used a brush from an old bottle of nail polish cleaned it with nail polish remover and used that to apply the iodine. First I added two almost full droppers of white iodine to the bottle (see photo gallery). Then added 2 1/2 dropper of evoo, 1/2 dropper of Jamaican black castor oil and 5 drops of vitamin E oil. Tonight will be my second application; the first night I used straight white iodine I couldn't wait yall, anyway about an hour after applying the iodine I warmed my evoo concoction and soaked my nails for 15 minutes. Keep in mind the first week you should apply the iodine to your naked nails. I'm so excited and can't wait to see the results! So come on and join me, it would be great to hear what your results will be as well.
Here's how to use it, coat your nails with a thin layer of the white iodine every night for one week to naked nails. Apply 3x a week for a month, then once a month thereafter. It will be easy for me to slide this into my regular routine, and I will apply it over my nail polish for the 3x a week application at bed time. I will apply to my naked nails monthly until I reach my goal of nails as hard as wood!
Important note it is essential to use olive oil or castor oil either in a mixture like the one I made or just message one or both of these oils into your cuticles after each application as the iodine is very drying.

Haven't been on your page in a while, I have to say you are doing a great job! Listen, I was hoping to see more updates on this and I did notice that you have a newer nail project but I'm curious where did this leave off at? My mom has a real hard time with keeping her nails strong and often has to resort to getting her nails done because her own nails are too fragile. I'm going to let her know about this and follow up with you!
Thanks

G-Man it sounds like you were talking about the way my nails use to be when you said how "fragile" her nails are, no worries here....I got mama J on this one! I still use white iodine, and I will post-up a follow-up on this one just for her. Peace “G”
