Breaking Nail Biting Habit: Causes, Solutions & Tips


Question
Hi,
I've been biting my nails for the past 14 years and I have a really hard time stopping. Whenever my nails grow out, i have the dendency to nip at them again until they are short and stubby. I am disgusted at the way they look, but I can't help but bite them. Also, they get very weak and break easily whenever they get longer. I am in desperate need for help!  

Answer
I am terrible sorry that this "addition" is bothering you so much. But at least now you are determined to stop. To improve your nails your should moisturize them (with cuticle oil and lotion or balm), avoid having them in water for long periods of time, and using gloves for your household chores.
Have you thought about enhancements? Having acrylics gel or fiberglass can elongate your nails giving you a hole new look in a matter of hours. Perhaps if the result was that obvious you would then pitty picking on them.
