    You don't.

    You have to wait untill it grows all the way back. Untill then, I suggest keeping it bandages up, because it probably hurts like hell if you get caught behind something. Keeping it bandaged will also further splitting.

    Alternatively, you could go see a doctor, I've heared they can temporarily glue both halves back together. DO NOT put glue on them yourself!

    If the nail is actually showing you mean then yeah you might need a doctor but if its frequent I'm sure you'd know that by now. I read in a book my mum gave me called Beauty 911 that if you soak your hands in whole milk it helps them grow better. It could be that you suffer from a poor diet which makes your nails vulnerbral or perhaps not enough vitamin intake?
