When I needed to stop biting my nails, I just kept my nails polished. I learned that I REALLY didn't like the taste of nail polish so I stopped biting Good Luck!!!

have you ever had braces? if you did, it would be painful to bite your nails. or put gloves on your hands the whole day. or do something else with your hands, something that you won't get bored.(online gaming, etc.)

start with index fingers.

then thumbs.

it is nice to be able to untie knots.

once you get a start, it gets easier.

My friends have the same habit. You can put tape around them so you won't bite them or you can chew gum instead.

hahaha oi it's ok my cousin used to bite her nails ALLLL the time.

However my aunty got her this nail polish stuff that they sell at pharmacies and it really worked. It tastes horrible. But if that doesnt work try using Sally Hansen's Nutra Nail Polish! it makes ya nails almost impossible to bite coz it makes them sooo hard!

Nail biting can be caused from boredom, hunger or anxiety. So you neeed to see if any of that affects you.

GOOD LUCK!

Perhaps wearing gloves might help.

Paint your nails so every time you bite it will taste nasty and eventually you will just stop. Good luck breaking your bad habit!!

PS if you dont like color on your nails you can just use clear nail polish! Or put something else on them to make them taste bad..
