I could use some advise on stopping my 8 year old to constantly have his fingers in his mouth - biting nails or biting the skin around it. Tried using lotion to keep the skin moist - did not work
Any ideas?????
Thanks8 yr old's nail and finger biting habit?
hey , ive been doing it for the past almost 10 yrs, since i was 6 or so, and ive recently stopped. the nailpolish stuff that tastes bad doesnt really work, well not for me because it tastes bad afterwards, not staright away.give it a try though, its called 'stopbite'
give rewards when the nail grows.
insures he gets plenty of calcium, try milk and cabbage
godo luck8 yr old's nail and finger biting habit?
I did the same thing. My whole life. I chewed my nails, then when I couldn't reach nail anymore, I chewed on the skin around them. I'm told my g-grandmother did the same thing. So, maybe more than just my own bad habit, maybe its in my genes. I tried everything. Sour apple and hot applications that tasted nasty, but I just got used to it, and chewed anyway. My hands looked awful and I was embarrased.
Well, then some miracle happened. I was 47 years old... suddenly, and I mean like suddenly, it stopped. I can't explain it. I'm grateful for it, to be sure! Now I have long nails. So long they get in the way. (You have no idea how many times I've had to use the backspace key to type this due to nails in the way.) They are thin and therefore sharp and I often scrape and stab myself with them, but my hands finally look normal.
Advice is.... don't give up. Try using some type of hobby, maybe like model building that keeps his hands busy. Anything that keeps his mind on other things and out of his mouth.
I noticed I chewed mostly out of anxiety or being bored.
Maybe ask his pediactric physician about an anti-anxiety drug if its really a serious problem. Cheweing also makes him more suseptible to fungal infections.
Otherwise, wait till he's in his late 40's.... he might magically quit too.
I know this sounds terrible, but when I was a child I bit my nails constantly. My mom told me that I could get worms biting my nails. It seems discusting, but it can actually happen!

I pretty much quit immediately.
Have you asked him why he does it? Try talking to him about it hes old enough to understand. It also could be something to do with his nerves. Try not say too much about it maybe he will quit on his own.
rub some nail polish remover onto the fingernails. it tastes disgusting for the whole day, even if you wash yoru hands. that will make it stop. you could also try the stuff they use for dogs when they constantly lick/bite themselves until the skin is gone. something like ';bitter apple'; might work.
He will out grow it, it is just a nervous habit and when you can stop what he is nervous about and stop it it will go away. Besides it is not fatal

i us to bite my nails since i was a little girl as well, there is this product you can find in the pharmacies that comes in a small tube you place it on your child's fingernails, if he tries to bite his nails the taste is extremely bitter he wont want to bite them anymore!!
I am a nail biter. Only thing that worked for me as a kid was painting on that terrible tasting stuff. Now it helps if I always have an emery board to take off the sharp edges so I don't feel a need to bite.

Is there any way to get the yellow stain off of your finger nails left behind by dark polish....?
You should talk to the person who does your dry cleaning. I mean they are used to getting rid of all the stains I leav...........
ER............I mean the stains they find on your clothes and sheets.Is there any way to get the yellow stain off of your finger nails left behind by dark polish....?
May sound weird, but denture tabs work really well for this.
Get the fizzing kind and plop two in a bowl of warm water, soak your nails until the water gets cold. Repeat this once a day for about 3 days and the stains will be gone. Remember to apply a moisturizer afterwards and massage cuticle oil on your cuticles.
Also always using a really good base coat will prevent this in the future, I recommend orly bonder.Is there any way to get the yellow stain off of your finger nails left behind by dark polish....?
They go away eventually by themselves, but to prevent them you can apply a clear protection polish to your nails, and then after it is dry put the dark polish on over it. this way your nails will not be damaged and the dark polish will stay on longer
Buffing your nails with def remove that yellow stain.
Also to prevent the stain be sure to apply a clear base coat to you nail before putting on the dark color, or any color for that matter.
it protects your nails and makes the color last longer
Soak your nails in lemon juice for 5 mins then buff your nails lightly.
In the future, apply a clear coat of polish (as a base coat) before you paint your nails. Also, look for nail polish with a non-yellowing formula.
Hope this helps! :)
Im not sure.. but try putting a clear base polish on before you paint them dark and then there wont be a yellowish stain :D
well you could quit smoking that might help, lol

Why do some of my finger nails have deep ridges/waves and others don't? I don't get manicures or anything.
I heard it's a vitamin deficiency, and I always took prenatal vitamins. They didnt' help.
I used to have ridges in my nails (which are otherwise very nice) until I used a Sally Hansen product called 4 in 1 nail care. It's about $10. I use it as a top coat when I paint my nails and the ridges, which I've had for years, were gone within a few weeks.Why do some of my finger nails have deep ridges/waves and others don't?

i have ridges in my nails too, they're not a vitamin deficiency, they're a natural thing, but yes that sally hansen thing does work! so go ahead!

i get those! they jusy occur naturally for some reason!
Could be your diet... Although, mine are the same way and I think it's bc I hold my pen funny when I write and it just got warped bc of the pressure on that certain spot...
you're deficient in a certain nutrient.....
try taking prenatal pills, they have all the vitamins and supplements you would need for hair and nails..... it says prenatal because they are recommended for pregnant women, but anyone can take them since they're just standard vitamins....

Do long finger nails look good or bad?
on male: good or bad?
on female: good or bad?Do long finger nails look good or bad?
on male: bad
on femalee: goodDo long finger nails look good or bad?
Male is bad. But long fingernails on females is a sign of health and fertility.
On male: unless you want to make an unusual statement that most women will find unattractive (a turn off) or think resembles halloween costuming, keep your finger nails relatively short.
On female: It depends on what you want to draw attention to and style you are attempting. if your hands look much older than your face, you may want to keep your nails at a natural length- moderate to short- and use natural/clear looking nail polish if any. A little length makes your fingers look slightly longer and can be flattering if your nails continue a natural tone. In some regions/styles, it is popular for women to have long and colorful fingernails, while there has been a recent trend toward a more natural look. If you are not comfortable with the style, you may not be able to pull it off. If you choose longer nails, it is very noticeable if they are not clean or well cared for, however it is also a statement that you have had a recent manicure if you have.
Man: no
Woman: yes..and groomed nicely.
on Males: Bad
on Females: Good
As long as they are not too long!
guys: i don't mind, but not as long as most girls keep it
girls: it certainly looks good, but they're a ***** to keep clean, not chip, and try things like cook/type/etc.
and they have to be clean! it's disgusting if you have dirt underneath or chipped edges.
I always keep short nails...I like long ones but my jobs include a lot of ';touching'; and typing. so no long nails for me)
male- not good
female- good as long as you keep them clean!

What about getting finger nails for the up coming Holiday ???
I need something all I have is stuble for my nails ......................What about getting finger nails for the up coming Holiday ???
How is this to do with general health, do you really need advice about fingernails, get a lifeWhat about getting finger nails for the up coming Holiday ???
seems like a big waste of money to me - but my nails grow so fast i have never needed falsies, but they do look nice...maybe some with decorations for christmas...get wild with it, have then airbrushed designed....now that is cool
I have the same problem. Ive been biting my nails for years so whenever i let them grow they become really brittle. the best thing that ive found is to get fake nails. make sure you get them very short, because if not they will fall off. If you continue to get fake nails eventually your real nails will grow. once they have grown out you can get a silk wrap applied to them to make them even more beautiful. good luck. i hope this helps.
I would get them if I was you. They will build your confidence and might help you feel pretty I know I always feel a little better when I do something for myself.

I bite my finger nails really bad, which acrillic nails would work well?
Hello everyone. I want to try and kick my habbit of biting my nails, and I think If I get fake ones then mabey that would help? Which kind stay on longest and are the toughest? Should I do it myself or get someone to do it for me? Is it expensive to get someone to do it? Thanks, have a great evening!! :)I bite my finger nails really bad, which acrillic nails would work well?
If you have someone do your nails (the acrillic kind) they stay on for about 3 weeks. Most places charge about $30 but, if you go to the nail place in walmart stores they are only $22! They last just as long and I am sure that will help you with bitting your nails.I bite my finger nails really bad, which acrillic nails would work well?
i would strongly suggest to stay away from acrylic nails...they wreck your nail plate badly...look around and see if any spa's are doing ';bio sculptures nails'; they are 5 star rated for a healther alternative to nails...you can get extentions with silk and they still feel like your own...take it from me i specialize in them....the product is from south africa....
I have the same problem. Maybe if they made them out of iron eh? We'd have chipped teeth then. LOL
http://www.beautyweb.com/beauty_solution鈥?/a> try this link,it will help.
I used to bite my nails and they looked awful. Now they look nice and they are real so i don't have to spend all my money at the nail salons. You can grow your own and they will look good- this is what I did
1- Shape up what is left of them or trim with clippers
2- Apply some Hard-As-Nails $2-3 dollars
3- Put some vinegar on your fingers it taste really bad
4- When they start to grow if they are soft trim them again
5- Apply more nail hardener and keep them polished, it comes it all different colors
6- File your nails and keep an emery board handy just in case . Put lotion on your hands and admire your beautiful fingernails. Spend the extra money on your hair or clothes!
Good luck
you should try buying those nail polishes that taste very bad so that you no longer want ti bite your nails
uh yea
