Get some Silica, either in liquid or tablet form. It's great for hair and nails. It won't stop hair falling out (mine has just started), but will help with hair re growth and your nails will be great! I have to shorten mine every week as they grow so quickly and they are really strong.

You should be able to get it from any supplements store.

I have had bad nails ever since surgery in 2005. They never got any better. They were never great to begin with but now they have ridges which I never had pre surgery.
