So I feel really silly! I've been doing some research, reading all the posts on MSM and Biotin to decide whether or not I want to take them....low and behold I didn't realize I have been taking them for about the last two months. Both are in Nature's Plus Ultra Hair Plus! I am on my second bottle...although I stretched bottle number 1 out by only taking 1 a day.
I have been wondering why my hair took off this past month, literally! First over the past 5 years my hair has been thinning in the front a lot. So this is what motivated me to look into SOMETHING! Now after reading all these posts this is what I realize:
1. Adding the pills did cause new growth like crazy! I feel like a chia pet...At least 2 inches or more and continues....and i must say it does appear to be a different texture because a lot of them stick straight up and are hard to hold down. (Side Note: I am new here, not sure of my hair type, def two diff textures though)
2. A few breakouts I couldn't figure out where they came from but now I know...but nothing excessive
3. Headaches here and there.....due to finances I was only taking one a day, bottle says to take two a day....finances got better and I increased to two a day recently.....the cause of the headaches!
4. Weird dreams.....prob due to the same reason as #4
5. The product has 2,000mcg Biotin, 500mg MSM (this dosage seems to be enough for me, I'm seeing results even when only taking half the dosage)
6. In my browsing I've seen a lot of posts/opinions about what it means when your head itches etc. I truly believe it is a sign of growth because my head has been itching during this time, not too badly, but def itching and again yes I've seen a considerable amount of new growth.
