Here's a tip: Actually STOP
3 years ago
To stop biting your nails you definitely need to make a firm descision to stop.
I’m talking “cold turkey.”
None of that “well…maybe I’ll try to stop next week…” You either want to do it or not.
After a week or so you might spot them starting to grow (at least for me I did). Good job, don’t bite them.
Other tips- It helps if you have friends keep tabs on you.
- And for girls, maybe putting some polish and trying to keep it from getting messed up might help you get started.
- If they break, don’t get discouraged, get some nail hardener
- I also heard some of that specialty bitter polish tastes so nasty that you’ll have incentive to keep your hand out of your mouth
- Once your nails start growing and you see how much junk gets under them, you might be too afraid to put them in your mouth…
- Ooh and if you wear a nice ring you most likely want to keep a presentable hand so you can show it off.
