Hey girls! I'm really nervous and I've never had my nails as a "lady". I really want it and I don't know how not to bit my nails. Please, tell me some tips...

You can buy nail polish that is specifically to help you stop biting your nails. it tastes nasty to help with aversion conversion therapy, essentially.

Simply painting your nails can help them grow, you won't pick or bite them when they're painted.

In esthetics school I learned something interesting, it is that the goal of a nail biter it to make your nails all an even length. Which of course doesn't work properly with your teeth so they just keep getting shorter and shorter! I can vouch for this as a former nail biter! What helps me is that I have to file my nails daily so that they stay even and that there are no rough edges to pick at. Also cuticle oil and hand creams will help so that nails don't become brittle and possibly break due to dryness. I also take the time to polish them every day or every other day because if I leave too long and my polish chips, I will just pick all the polish off and destroy my nails. One kinda neat thing that may work in your favor is that Nail Biters nails grow faster as a reflex from constantly being taken back, because having that free edge is actually a defense mechanism for your body! Hope this helps!

Dhara, I sometimes have a problem with very weak, bending nails as well. Sometimes they split down the middle, too. I used to (about 3 years ago) take a Biotin supplement which helped tremendously but then my body got used to the vitamin and it became less effective. I just started taking Biotin again and it seems to be helping. I'd recommend it to you!

Biotin and folic acid pills I use this. These pills make your nails strong and grow and it does the same thing to your hair
