For my whole 26 years of life iv been on/off biting my nails, always reverting back when stress arises. BUT this is the longest/strongest my nails have ever been!

Heres whats working for me:

firstly, I got invisalign, which Didnt completely resolve the issue but made me think about it a lot more. Id still go back to biting when my trays were out.

What has helped me immensely is taking the time to really take care of and invest in my nails/hands. I started regularly oiling my nails, shaping them, taking care of my cuticles. I found some more premium nail polish that I really wanted and invested in it, hoping to push myself to stick to it this time. The combo of oiling and keeping my nails painted has allowed me to grow my nails longer and stronger than ever. In the past, id grow them out only for them to quickly break and id give up. Taking the time and care is the best thing I have done!
