Care For Nails After You Stop Nail Biting

By: Sunny DuLane

Strong and healthy nails are the goal of any former nail biter. It takes a little effort and time but you can have strong and healthy nails.

Keep your nails short as you grow them out. Short nails decrease the possibility of breaking and peeling. It's tempting to grow those nails out long, but let your nails grow and gain some strength before keeping them long.

It takes 4 months for a nail to grow from base to tip. Give your nails at least 4 months to go from bitten and nibbled stage to stronger healthier nails.

Avoid metal files when filing your nails. Use a fine grit emery board. Metal files can easily tear fragile nails that are just growing out. Dry nails and file only in one direction to avoid splits in your nails.

Keep your nails in a simple oval shape with no points. Keep the oval wide at the base and gradually shaping it into a gentle curve. Shaping your nails this way makes your nails less apt to breaking and splitting.

Nail polish can help your prevent your nails from breaking or peeling. If you use colored polish apply a clear base coat before the colored polish. Using clear polish will protect your nails from staining.

Finish with a clear topcoat to prevent chipping. Applying nail strengthener to the tip of your nail acts as a protective shield.

Manicured nails and well-groomed hands will definitely show the world you stopped nail biting.
