If you're a biter try not to bite or pick at them a lot. And I heard there are vitamins that help nails grow!

So.... The only thing that worked for me after 27 years of biting my nails was knowing how toxic injecting nail polish is, an always keeping my nails painted....

And keeping them filed will keep them from retaking while they are brittle

Soak your hand in lukewarm water and salt. Scrubbing them with a lemon can help whiten them.

Prenatal vitamins

Be careful with prenatal vitamins. Most contain way more iron (usually in the form of ferrous sulfate) than you need (unless your pregnant or breast feeding of course). We usually get enough iron intake from the foods we eat. Iron builds up in your system and can be toxic to your body.
Iron. During pregnancy, the recommended intake of iron is 27 milligrams (mg) a day. Women between the ages of 19 and 50 who aren't pregnant need only 18 mg a day, and women age 51 and older and all adult men need only 8 mg a day. Getting too much iron can be toxic because it can build up in your body, causing constipation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and, in severe cases, possibly death.

If you're going to use a supplement, I would recommend using "Hair, skin & nails" vitamins, which contain a high concentration of Biotin.

Ashley- how do you use it? Ingest it? Or do you use it topically like massaging it into cuticles?

Pixie T- I massage it in. Every night. I use it in my hands as well. Coconut is absorbed right away, just leaves my hands feeling smooth. The coco oil also helps with production of collagen and elastin in the skin.

Take biotin & use a nail protein called Nailtiques!! They have formulas for problem nails & a formula for nail biters. I love their proteins.. I use them as my base / top coat & to keep my nails healthy.
