Will Protein strengthening/repair hair care products work with nails?

I'm a nail-biter that doesnt realize how stupid it is till I bit them. Now im looking for ways to reduce the uncomfortable feeling, and I was wondering if products such as Garnier-Fructis shampoo/conditioner would help repair and regrow the nail quicker, since hair and nails are made of the same protein, keratin. If not or so, what works the best for you/ to your knowledge?

If you are looking for something that you can find in your house, try applying regular vegetable oil to your nails. It works pretty much in the same way as cuticle oil does by moisturizing the nail and cuticles. And this in turn will help to make them strong and healthy. But, only one application won't do much of anything. If you are going to do it right, you have got to apply it 2-3 times a day - every day. Same goes for cuticle oil. Also, use a moisturizing hand cream each time you wash your hands, or get them wet. Always dry them as soon as possible, and apply lotion. Massage it into your cuticles and nails as well. This also moisturizes your nails. Olive oil is another good one. And vitamin E capsules split open and the contents applied to your nails will also work well. But I doubt that hair strengthening products would work on your nails. I cannot prove it, but I just kinda doubt it.Will Protein strengthening/repair hair care products work with nails?
I work @ GNC and would recommend a supplement called ';Hair, Skin and Nails'; or just plain Biotin. Garnier would not help your nails because you are not ingesting it or applying it to your nails. Also, you could get that stuff you paint on your nails which stops you from biting them (it tastes awful).
this is kinda different than what your asking for, but i have a sally hansen or w/e its called nail biter stuff. and its pretty cheap, it tastes real bad so that when you go to try and bite your nails you get grossed out and dont bite them. you apply it like nail polish =) its awesome!
