  Never bite or pick at your nails. This will cause them to grow unevenly.

• 2

  Trim your nails with nail clippers when one or more gets longer than most of the others.

• 3

  File your nails to even them out completely. File in one direction only, and create a slightly rounded tip for best results.

  Take a vitamin supplement that contains biotin to keep your nails strong and even. A well-balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, grains and lean proteins is important for nail health.
