This used to be different, I started around my fifth already biting your nails. I did this for years, occasionally with pauses where I keep my nails long tried, until about two years ago. I do not really know anyone else in my environment that is as long or biting her nails (and really far by bit, yuck), it really is a miracle that my nails are now nice look and feel. Over the years I have read many tips that have helped me, and after many attempts to stop biting your nails but eventually helped one thing. What is that and other useful tips you read further below....
Stop biting your nails
Nail biting is not only unhygienic, it also does not look particularly smart. I bite my nails for years, and then ashamed of my bitten nails. For example, I always bought jackets with pockets, so I put my hands in my pockets could hide. If I were in the bus or subway and had to hold me somewhere I did that so that the person next to me could not see my nails - so it was so bad that I had tricks for different situations to hide my nails. "But why do not you just stop biting your nails?" My friends asked.I tried so many times - but I kept it longer than a few days or a full week. If you years of your nails biting your nails and thin so damaging that they quickly break down and begin to advance again. If you have a tear in your nails will look you can not help but bite off him ... I have all the lotions / dirty polishes / rewards etc tried, but nothing helped.
For my birthday in 2010 I received the best gift ever: acrylic nails. I want to first say that I actually am not for acrylic nails: it is not environmentally friendly and also not very healthy for you and the nail to make acrylic or gel nails. I recommend it therefore only in one case: weak, short bitten nails. I can see the day of my first appointment still remember: I was very nervous and scared that my nails were too short for acrylic nails.
But the nail was very friendly and explained to me that they like girls I treated weekly. What they do with very short nails: first create the nail with a longer piece nepnagel, sticking them onto your nail and cut them off to your chosen length. Over this is a layer of gel or acrylic, the end result is beautiful, long and manicured nails. Why acrylic (or gel) nails work? First, see your nails so beautiful within an hour that you do not want to bite, trust me. Second, even if you want to bite, there is now a thick chemical layer on your nails where you simply can not bite through. Acrylic nails look pretty sure two weeks off, you have to update them. I also had after those first two weeks, much less likely to bite my nails.
I let them work a few times, until I had about three months, acrylic nails and my nails had grown long. I got them for security does not let get away, because I was still a little afraid I would bite again but also because your nails under the acrylic damage may be low. What I've done: they flat (ter) filed and lacquered nail over it. As the film slowly grew my nails off (this took yet another 2-3 months), after 6 months I finally had a long and strong nails which were completely natural. Anyway, now you finally have long fingernails, or maybe this upper part did not apply to you but you want to make your nails stronger or simply well looked after. Here I also tips!
Nails care
Your nails can be extra dry in autumn and winter because of the cold weather, just like your skin. Take care of them so well with a fine natural hand cream: lubricate it not just on your hands, but always bring your nails. Do not forget your cuticles also lubricate well.Instead of hand cream you can also use an oil: olive oil and argan oil are very fine and olive oil sws you probably already have at home. You can apply a few drops of oil on your nails and cuticles to moisturize and care for them. For very weak nails: Make two tablespoons of olive oil a little hot and apply it liberally to your nails and leave for 15 minutes - a kind of mask for your nails so. You can repeat this daily until you are refurbished nails.
Do you suffer from discolored nails? Lemon juice is a natural panacea for this. Apply with a cotton pad some fresh lemon juice on and under your nails, allow about 10 minutes of pulling and then rinse it off. This can also be repeated daily until your nails are cleaner and whiter. Bring it to a care oil or lotion as lemon juice can also dry out your nails.
Are you like me, a fan of nail polish? Try your nail polish more often than changing one time in the week. It is not so much the nail polish that affects your nails (if you're a '3 Free' varnish use without Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene & Formaldehyde), but especially the nail polish remover. These often contain acetone, which dries nails terribly. So buy at least a non-acetone nail polish remover, but also without acetone removers are not too good for your nails. Limit the use of these so up to one once a week, and take care of your nails well after removing nail polish. It is also strongly recommended for occasional week not to wear nail polish and nails care for each day as well this week.
And finally, eat a healthy diet! Your nails are stronger and faster growth through a diet with enough protein, iron and vitamin B. If necessary, consult a natural vitamin supplement. Phew, what a long article! I hope you have learned what to do.
