Biting nails is a sign of emotional and mental stress. If you feel hungry, stressed or anxious, it is obvious that you may start biting your nail. This habit shuns the growth of your nails and it is advised to stop biting your nails to help your nails frow faster.
Do not chip off your nail polish

Use nail hardeners
Nail hardeners can work to strengthen your nail plates. It can also make them less likely to split and break. Nail hardeners can also strengthen your nail structure because of the protein present in them.
