Can your nail plate grow back?

when i was young, i bit my nails for about three years, then i stopped in the third grade when i saw my teacher, a woman, biting her nails. her nails were horrible! its been a really long time since i last bit my nails, and surprisingly, my nail plate seems to have grown back and i have really nice nails, as in the pink part almost reaches the tips of all my nails. however, the pink part on my pinky nails has not completly grown back. is there anything i can do to make the pink part grow back? i want to try hard as hoof nail cream . is it good? any other suggestions?Can your nail plate grow back?
Yes, your nail bed will grow back as long as the root system (the matrix way at the bottom of the nail was not severely damaged, which it sounds like it was not) Try Nailtique, it's a clear polish that strengthens nails. There are also nail polishes that have natural fibers in them that will bind to and strengthen the nail plate as it grows in.





If you keep your nails polished it will make it harder to bite them if you ever get the urge.Can your nail plate grow back?
just keep putting moisturizers on it and stuff. i think you'll be alright as long as you let them grow and dont put too much wear and tear on them. that just may be how your nail grows too. everyone's different!
