I recently bought some ghs corporation René Martinez’ GraphitALL guitar lube, which is intended to lubricate, among other things, the nut slots, to aid tuning by preventing the strings from binding. A tiny little bottle is just under $5, but a tiny bit goes a long, long way. Powdered graphite is apparently the traditional solution to this problem, but it is messy. This stuff is a white viscous liquid that is easy to apply without making a mess and which blends in with the traditional white colored nut.

It seems to work. For some reason my B string has always been sticky and hard to tune, but GraphitAll has greatly improved it and noticeably improved tuning of the other strings as well. So, assuming long-term use doesn’t cause guitar rot or or guitarist death, I recommend it.
