Girls and guys should use strengthener on their nails to deter them from chewing their nails, says Sheril Shideler, receptionist at Beauty Brands, 3514 Clinton Parkway. A good one to try is Sally Hansen’s Hard as Nails Diamond Strength Instant Nail Hardener — and don’t worry, guys, it’s clear. Or, keep your nails polished in a bright color so you will notice them.
