My nails will always break no matter what at the edge of where they start to grow, right on that side. So of course, each time this happens I have cut the entire nail out. I was told it's because I used to bite them and when you do that you tend to go up on the sides higher than normal making the nail very weak in that area. Does anyone else have this problem???

Do you file your nails? Sometimes this can happen if you file your nails deep into the side against the skin. ------------- I am a professional Hairstylist/Haircolorist with 19 years experience.

Hi Lili, I do file my nails square, so I don't file them on the sides. I just recently stopped biting them (about 2 months ago) but when I was biting them I would do it all the way up to the sides very very high up. So, that would be the cause of it, right? How can I make my nails stronger in that area. I had purchased a strengthener with garlic and made my nail tips very strong but they all keep braking up on the sides. Any suggestions?  ------------- |
