How to stop biting your nails: the easiest and most beautiful way, proven by millions of women

And it is finally quite logical. A hard coat of gel won’t let you tear fragile natural nails. At least until the gel is on the nails.

Of course, for such a procedure you need to carefully select a master so that he does not damage already thin and damaged nails. But believe me, it’s worth it! The gel works wonders as it prevents splitting of the nails.

The extension lengthens the nail plate and thus makes it difficult to access the hyponychium (the tip of the nail at the level of the tip of the finger) when biting, which allows the nail to heal quietly. This means that there will be no inflammation and pain – after all, without damage there is no infection of the nail and the nail bed! And this is very important.

Rachel West BayMD and board-certified dermatologist, says that hyponychium, the fingertip just below the tip of the nail, is what we need to keep our nails healthy, and extensions can give it the space it needs need to recover.

By the way, according to a beauty legend, for the first time such a life hack was used by a certain dentist in the middle of the 20th century. According to one version, he “repaired” his own broken and very disturbing nail with acrylic, and according to the second, the doctor took care of his wife, who could not give up the addiction to nail biting.
