Stop biting : First step will be to stop your habit, I know it will be hard after this May years but you can do it if you want to have normal long nails. Eat healthy a lot of fruit and veggies and calcium rich food. Take low dose of biotin and omega 3 essential fatty acid (fish, Flex or Chia seeds oil). Good luck !
