HOW HOW HOW OH HOW do I stop biting my nails??
I've been doing that since I was a baby, I'm f****kin' 24 now, and I still have this baby habit. I've tried everything, the most expensive No-Bite nail polish and mom's home-made recipes, but nothing helps. HELP!
Answers:
There is a great product that I used a long time ago. It is like a top coat, made by Sally Hansen. It is called Nail Biter. It applies on clear, dries super fast and tastes horrible! It's not a nail polish. It works wonders and it's not that expensive. Use it and you will no longer bite your nails. You can find it at your nearest Wal-Mart or Drug store. I tried other products and nothing helped.
Scrath your bare bum and when you see brown stuff under your nails it will stop you doing it
think about ruining your teeth
Dip them in **** maybe?
Buy stress balls and start playing with them when you have the urge to bite your nails.
Try getting false nails and a manicure.
you must be suffering from anxiety.learn to relax
Have you tried getting false nails on top of your own, so that you can't bite them? Personally I hate false nails, but I'd have them if it meant I could have real nails of my own in a few weeks time. Then it's just down to will power I'm afraid! Good luck!
put reeli hot chilli powder in the gap between your nails/skin.i stopped in 3 days!
try it!
I've never bitten my nails but I think I would go to a salon and have some really great false nails put on, then every time you go to bite them you would remember how much they cost you and how great they look! A habit is only a 'circle ' of nerves which make you act in a certain way so once you've broken the circle a few times you will be able to change.
Go to your chemist and ged a tun of Nail the habbit not only does it taste bad, it coditions your nails at the same time and it costs £2
- Try to replace your bad habit with a healthier one. When you find your hands traveling towards your mouth, stop yourself and pop in a lollipop, or better yet a raw carrot, instead. It will take some serious, conscious effort on your part to replace your bad habit, but you can do it if you really want to.
- If you don’t even realize you’re chewing on your nails, try wearing a rubber band on your wrist and giving it a little pop every time you find your fingers in your mouth. That will help bring your consciousness to your problem so that you can learn how to stop biting your nails.
- Make your hands look as pretty as possible so that you don’t want to mess them up. Splurge on a salon manicure so you get some pampering and care lavished on your poor, bitten nails. It only takes about a week or so to start seeing some growth and once you see some progress, you’ll be less likely to want to bite.
Good luck gal. =)
Just imagine how many microbes, bacterium, fungi etc. you lick off. fie.
Dip your fingers in liquid nitrogen !
This will stop you from biting your nails !
Well,Duh! Stop putting your fingers in your mouth and get a prescription for Xanax.
wear gloves
go to your local nail bar and have some very expensive acrylics put on. They will look so good you wont want to bite them.
Dog poo? You certainly don't want to put that in your mouth! Might create a few practical problems though - leave smudges all over / limits the use of your hands.
I'm 26 and chew mine down to the knuckle, so my advice probably isn't worth much, but try leaving them one-at-a-time. That's the only way i ever get close to growing them. Start with one pinkie finger or both if you're really determined (three if you live near a nuclear plant) and see how you get on.
Good luck.
don't think about it and don't say why I'm biting my nail.
try be relax and don't let your hand be free means try to do
somthing with your hands all the time
cut your nails whenever it grows & try eating chewing gum, whenever you feel like biting your nails.
Yes, I agree have false nails put on top (as long as you don't start to nibble these) they are quite expensive so you must be dead serious about it. Also, as previously advised you could put chilli or mustard under them but the problem is you can't afford to rub any sensitive "bits"!
cut your nails more often once you saw that its growing already. Thru this, you can prevent biting your nails.
you could always keep them trimmed up to short to chew on for awhile till you get out of the habit. then let them grow out maybe. seems easier then cutting off your fingers.
wear boxing gloves !
paint them over and over and over and over! i bit mine when their long. it works most times.
Have you tried wearing thimbles or gloves? What kind of situations do you bite your nails? Is it boredom or anxiety? You need to form a new habit to replace this old bad habit, maybe even something as simple as putting your hands in your pocket.
hang out with me for about a month.regular basis and you'll stop.negative reinforcement, it works faster than positive hahaha. Seriously have your man remind you not to. My ex used to bite her nails all the time same thing did it her whole life.I would just ask her not to, and point it out every time she did. Little things though, i.e. "whatcha doin" just have them call you on it. Until it becomes annoying to you to be called on it, and you will make a conscious decision to not bite them; and try to catch yourself before you start. Or go with plan A shock therapy.
Ha! Good question. I bit my nails for 36 years and finally quit this year. How? My teeth were so worn I had to have all the front ones capped and they were no longer able to bite my nails satisfactorily! It was a forced stop, but since then, due to my dentist being cr*p, a lot of the caps have come off but because my nails look so much better now I've resisted biting. So, a bit of outside help and some willpower. It's so nice being able to put nail varnish on and polish them that I'm going to carry on not biting!
DON'T put false nails over them. I tried that and it messed them up big-time. I wouldn't even do that now as I've seen the messes my friends have got into. Your nails rot and all sorts of icky stuff.
Good Luck!
Tie your hands at your back or better yet, remove your nails.
Just kidding, it's called mannerism. All you need is a little willpower to overcome it.
This may sound strange but if you catch your self biting your nails slap yourself on your leg always in the same place or poke your leg with something just hard enough for it to hurt a little. The brains automatic responses to pain will relate the pain in your leg to the reflex action and you will soon stop you biting although you may have a sore leg for a few days.
Try sticking them up your bottom every time you feel like biting them. You'll soon stop - for two reasons ! ! !
