@LexaKing

That's exactly what I'm saying. If ur going to take biotin I suggest u take the same strength forever or u may experience the fall-out I endured those 2months...

I hadn't had a setback like that since I bleached once when I was young.

After the chop from stringy braw strap back to above neck I began the 5k u see here & it stopped like someone shut off a flowing water faucet

So use biotin at ur own risk. :'(

@honeybearmommy32 I'm sorry to hear about your setback. But your hair looks beautiful now I've been taking biotin for 2 months and hopefully I don't have a problem if I stop, but I wouldnt mind taking it for life, it's so beneficial.

Right now im taking GNC Ultranourish hair and biotin with my regular womans one a day. I'm excited to see what my growth rate was for this month when I check-in on the 31st. That exactly one month after I last length checked and I've been taking my vitamins perfectly for 3 months.

Back when I was relaxed, I was taking Biotin & had to take a break. My hair was growing so fast, I got sick of having to retouch so often. I should probably go back to taking them. . . .

I wonder why biotin doesn't necessarily wrk on eye lashes its hair too isn't it?

Or how abt arm or leg hair? I've been taking bio awhile now and I don't see the results I've achieved on my head on other parts of my body.

Which is okay bcuz I'd prolly look like a wilder beast..

I wld like longer thick lashes tho, I mean, who doesn't

Biotin works on all my hair not just the hair on my scalp. Everything starts to grow faster.

I've been taking hairfinity for about a month now and up until this month I didn't see a need to relax and I was 7 weeks post then... Since taking it I grew in my .5" it may seem small but I've been under heavy stress, poor diet, I'm anemic and, I wasn't very dedicated to my hair. I believe it's doing quite well Considering MY circumstances and I do recommend them.

Yup, vitamins really can help your hair grow faster. I'm using vitamin H (biotin) and vitamin C.

I tried to vote but the poll is closed. I think vitamins do help. I take. Nature made multi complete and sundown super strength biotin (7500 mcg). I just started really following a strict regimen for about a month. My nails are stronger longer and don't break as easy and my hair is finally retaining faster, longer, and stronger. I have a hard time pulling out a strand despite being a fine stranded relaxed head.

@lamaria211 I'll give you that. I think they give the appearance of faster growth because they help make up for any deficiencies that diet can't. For instance I've always had issues with iron absorption and my nails pay the price. Are they always growing? Yes. Do they grow soft, peel, and break? Always......unless I take a multivitamin. Same thing with my hair. It breaks so easy it's not even funny but the multivitamin keeps my strands from breaking as fast which help me to retain. It gives the appearance of faster growth because more growth can be retained.

Truth be told I don't think they help my hair grow faster, but I do think they help it grow stronger and so it breaks less allowing me to keep more hair on my hair... I take a b complex, hairfinity, biotin, msm, l-cysteine, vit c, a garlic supplement and I just finished my last bottle of nixion...yes, it sounds like alot but I don't have a very good diet, aside from eating a lot of steak and salad I don't really eat anything else during the day, I'm normally running around like a crazy person and carry a jug of water with me which gives me a false full feeling... When I wasn't taking supplements my hair was growing but is always have hundreds of short hairs in my bathroom sink when I combed it, now maybe I gave 2-5 a day

Ive taken Biotin in the past. Up to 5000mcg and it didnt work for me as far as hair growth. i took it for about a year and I also took MSM powder and silica(horsetail) all from puritan pride.

Where is the best place to buy the nioxin vitamins for a low price? im seeing packs on amazon not like a bottle.
