Your hair and nails are actually composed of the same material- keratin. The difference comes from the presence of sulphur in amino acids binding the keratin together in your nails.
Your fingernails grow faster than your toenails- a healthy fingernail takes about 6 months to grow out completely, while a healthy toenail will need about an year. Nails actually grow faster on the hand you use most and, as a matter of fact, men's nails grow faster than women's.
