Having a replacement habit really is the most important part of breaking any habit. I used to press my cheeks when I got excited watching tv and it would leave bruises, so I started patting my chest and I’ve never pressed my cheek since.
I have bite my nails since I can remember😧I have stopped biting my nails some times but I started again.🥺I HATE to show my nails and have always. But like a week ago I decided to stop! I saw some beautiful rings on SHEIN and I really wanted them💕but I didnt want my nails to be that ugly so I just stopped.🙌🏻Find something to make you stop! It have not been hard because I really want to stop. I’m used to bite my nails all the way down, till I cant bite more🤭but yeah, I’m on my way for beautiful nails!💅🏼good luck everyone! I belive in you guys. Think of this, what if u never stop biting? You will never have beautiful nails... BUT if you stop now, then you will have it the rest of your life❤️🙌🏻good luck!
I love how you're so open about it, I've seen so many videos but I feel like you give a good description and a good reason for everything you talk about. Thank you so much🥰
I rlly struggle with it too. I'm trying to stop cuz it's bad and it hurts and I want long nails. Ppl say to use insoln. The vitamin b. Or to use bitter tasting nail polish, covering ur fingers in gloves, or bandages, ppl also try hypnosis. U can also coat ur fingers in a mixture of coconut oil and cyanne pepper. Good luck 😊
sorry to be off topic but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me!
Watching these “how to stop nail-biting” videos because of a recent comment of my mom telling me to stop bc it’s gross which I understand is true. I really want to stop for the sake of health. I realize that my main problem is anxiety or impatience that causes me to unconsciously bite my nails 😔 Thanks so so much for this video! Will try some of these methods mentioned.
i usually find my hands in my mouth when im watching tv now i notice more because i started a nail grow journey 3 weeks ago and i use gum as my replacement behavior maybe that might help you too and like she said it will only work with commitment i really really want long natural nails so yea
YOU ARE SO GORGEOUS! ive been biting my nails for over a decade and like you, keep trying but with no success to stop :(( thankyou so much for this video, and for inspiring me to try again
This is exactly what happens to me, I try to stop, then I pick at it. Then I bite it off, then I’m at it again.. One time I stuffed my toe in my mouth to eat it
Thanks so much for the great tips! I had quit years ago, only to start really chewing on my nails again this year…really bad. Tried the nasty stuff you paint on. Didn’t really keep me from chewing in them. Plus like you said, All my food and everything tasted nasty. Using Silly putty right now for the replacement thing. But really I believe it’s like you said, keeping the nails healthy and conditioned helps. Then as they start to grow, keeping them painted pretty really helps. Thanks again!!
I’ve been a nail biter for the last 50 years! I have had times when I have stopped but unfortunately bad habits won! I’m totally embarrassed by my nails and like you i fist my hands so nobody can see them! I desperately want nice nails/ hands! Seeing this today was great! Fantastic tips on what to do! I am now about to go get some stress balls and order the products you mentioned! Fingers crossed I can finally do it!
I bite my nails while I’m watching TH-cam/Netflix/Tv, etc. I haven’t watched the video. I check back in a week and say wether it worked not! A week later: it’s not the right way for me... it might have worked for you, but I have to try another way...
Hey. Not sure if you’ve been able to break the habit, but try one nail or hand at a time per week. So keep a biting hand and slowly wean yourself off of it one finger at a time. I think the progress of the nail growth, painting etc. made me not want to bite anymore and I replaced my usual behavior with filing. Hope this helps if you need it!
I am really happy for you and glad you found a method that works for you, however and most unfortunately, it won't work for every one. The reason for that is that nail biting is sometimes merely a bad habit, but in other cases there is a much deeper issue behind this behaviour, which require professional care. Some people will never be able to overcome the urge, and the only way to stop them from biting is nail building. All in all, this is an extremely vast subject which can not be solved that easily.
I do my own acrylics or hard gel now! It works amazingly!!!!! They aren’t like scary long or anything either lol you can do just builder gel which if you can paint your nails you can do this. If makes your nails to hard to bite. You legit cannot peel it off or anything! This is literally the quickest, easiest, least painful (mentally and physically) way to go.
Thank you so much, you gave so many ways alternatives to get rid of this habit I am facing this since long time and I have tried quiting this but always failed I Will try your suggestion n I am very sure it will work ....
4 years later...have you had any relapses?❤ I'm asking this cause i used to have periods of 3 months without biting my nails and then relapsed each time...
Is it possible that you change your nail growth by bitting it? Because I have this habit since always and I am 26. I am afraid that if I leave them grow they will have not so pretty shape. How can I manage that?
My bffs gave me this idea to reward myself (NOT BY BITING NAILS) if i managed to stop biting for 3 days. They would buy me starbucks or boba or maybe a small cute present like a keychain and they would slowly increase the time i would stop biting my nails and the gifts they buy me dont have to be big or extravagant. To me, just a chocolate bar would suffice and it works for me. Now my target is to not bite my nails for 1 entire month and im 19 days through! :D goodluck to you guys
I am 45 and have been a nail biter for as long as I can remember. I’ve quit one time in my whole life. For me it’s mental, I have severe anxiety and OCD at least when it comes to my fingers. It drives my husband crazy. I tear off my cuticles as bad as my nails.. I feel like they over grow and it drives me crazy. I have got to stop the vicious circle 😩
there's a nail polish that you can paint on your nails; it has a taste so incredibly bitter and gross, that it has helped thousands of people stop biting. you apply every 2-3 days. you can also apply your favorite nail polish or nail art as extra motivation. as she stated, it isn't for everyone, but it's definitely an option to look into. I'm actually considering buying a whole nail kit including the bitter nail polish, nail tools, and nail polish, in the hopes of correcting my habits. it also helps to buy sensory necklaces, which are great for people like me, that have a habit of chewing. keep it around your neck, and it should remind you to redirect your habit onto a healthier option. I also have gotten gum to redirect this habit. any gum works, but I recommend gum that will help with your teeth as well, because you also damage your teeth when you bite your nails. this video explains the effects of nail biting, without the sugar coating. they also discuss a few solutions. I recommend other nail biters to watch this. another thing I'd suggest is asking or befriending someone who can help by reminding you to stop biting your nails. sometimes, we just need support. words of encouragement can create great impact.
I am 13, I have been a nail bitter as long as I can remember, so at least 10 years. I haven't tried it yet, I've gotten way better, I went from a few times a day to nearly a week, I'm begging my mum to get nail polish that is supposed to be gross, it is my last resort and I'm hoping that by time I'm old enough to have fun with my nails, they are long enough to do things with. I will try that new replacement habit. Even if it doesn't work, thanks. By the way, can literally anyone give me a notification so if it does work, I'm not scrolling forever, thank you:)
it is really time consuming, to grow the nail bed (pink part) completely you can need from 9 months to even 3+ years so just dont cut your nails really short and let them grow out
Especially with nail biters it's impossible. The saliva contains so many aggressive bacteria, enzymes (to fight off illnesses and break down our food) that biting the nails and breaking the skin in that process harms the skin and nailbed (pinky part) irreversibly. It can grow back here and there BUT! it won't last long. Every little touch and impact with the nailbed will push it back where you brought it to.
I am 12 and I bite my nails a lot every day. That urge to bite is very strong when I am at school. Often I have both hands in front of my mouth while sitting at a table. During writing a test my left hands is bitten very much because then I am very excited and cannot do it at the right hand.

Me watching this while biting my nails: 😅
Seriously though, I went 2 whole months without biting my nails and I just started biting them again today

True 😖
It worked for me... I followed this straight up to 30 days. I can see a whole lot of difference in my nails than before. Thanks a lottt!!!
I love how you're so open about it, I've seen so many videos but I feel like you give a good description and a good reason for everything you talk about. Thank you so much🥰

Thank you 6 weeks no biting all because of your video. It took me 28 years but I did it.
Very. Nice! Very researched and professional! Good job Jes!
I havent bitten mine for 8 days. I'm so pleased. You have to start looking after them before you can stop biting them.
This was really helpful. Thank you❤
Thank you for the replacement behavior. That’s a great idea.
Thank you so much, you gave so many ways alternatives to get rid of this habit
I am facing this since long time and I have tried quiting this but always failed

It works amazing I bought it also

Yes vitamin E oil helps my nails to grow
Tbh i always bite my nail when im hungry especialy at school, so what really helped me was gum

Thanks it works
I got a tooth pulled out an it took me a week an half to come right that stopped me from bitting my nails 💅
For the tip of making them look nice you could use false nails
And for gloves you could use touch screen gloves
Trust me, fidget toys. They will distract you from biting your nails or pulling your skin.
Bubblegum is what i reccomend
I would just look at the nail polish on my nails and be like ✨yUMy YuMI ITs In mY TumY✨
The thumbnails nail that is healthy literally looks like my mums nails
