Calling All Biotin and Pefrectil Users!

[sassy mamma]

Me too. I hope the hair on my head is growing as fast as the hair on my legs.

i've been taking gnc hair, skin and nail formula for about 6 months. 2500 mcg biotin wrapped up in a multi vitamin. i originally started taking it to help control my acne, but my hair did benefit from the perspective of being healthier and stronger. i did get some length also, but it didn't happen as fast as i think you may be looking for.

 

[diablo2g]

In those 6 months how much would you say your hair grew? And how fast does it normally grow?

 

[charish]

you and me both girl. my hair really shedded after both of my babies. now i think it's in the resting phase. sucks.

 

[diablo2g]

Update! Ok, so I've been obsessing over for my hair for a while now. But now I can honestly say that I do see some improvement in growth, however nothing to shout about, but maybe that's because I'm so impatient. Right now I am using:

Biotin (5000 mcg)

Hair Formula 37

Wild Growth Hair Oil

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Shampoo

Garnier Fructis Long & Strong Conditioner

Aphogee Keratin Reconstructor

So far I can say tat I notice lass breakage, and I pressed my hair less than a month ago and I do se about 1/4" of new growth. That's progress, right? I think i'll take a pc of my hair now, post it, and then , post another pic a couple months from now. MAybe that's the only wee to actually see the change.

Holy cow girl, I thought I was crazy using stuff for my hair to grow. Your funny!!! But hey if it is working, I guess I will have to give it a go.

 

[cardboardboxed]

Can biotin cause hair growth in unwantedplaces, or make hair on the body grow faster too?

 

[charish]

i was using biotin but now i'm using the oil of olay vitamins. they're for your skin, hair and energy. i would still use the biotin but i just forget. my hair grows pretty fast anyways and sheds a lot too which is probably from it growing so fast. i think it has a lot to do with the person and a persons diet,how they take care of themselves and how healthy they are can affect hair growth. so i say keep taking the vitamins. also i heard that in warmer climate the hair grows faster. also if you trim your hair on a night of a full moon. now whether thats true or not i can't say for sure but doesn't hurt to try.

I have been using Biotin for a little while and I def noticed more body hair-especially leg and facial. Have noticed a little hair(head) growth and slightly less breakage but maybe it is too soon to tell.

I have been taking Biotin for a few months now. I have noticed a big difference in the growth of my nails. My hair seems to feel thicker and grows a little faster too. I think I would notice more results if I took them everyday like I'm supposed to.

 

[girly_girl]

I'm starting Biotin since I got a bad hair cut today and I want help growing it out. How much of it should I take? Mine are Biotin Extreme they are 1,500 mg. I want to take more, but is it ok?

 

[greeneyedangel]

I just started taking Biotin as well. I've been taking 5000 mcg. Each pill is 1000 mcg so its a little annoying to take so many pills. I wonder if there is Biotin I can get at he healthfood store with more in each pill. I'll have to take a look!

 

[anna1850]

I'm taking 1000mcg a day for a couple of months and my hair hasn't grown any faster. I'm still getting my standard 0.5" a month (yes, I do measure my hair!).

I think it might have helped me lose a bit of weight though. I've heard it's good to stop water retention.. I've finally lost the 14 pounds I put on when I went to the US for 2 and half months last year! I hope it makes my nails stronger, they've always been super weak.

I think the highest dose ones I've seen are 6000mcg. I think as long as you read the label and don't take more than it says it should be fine.

you will know if your taking too much your urine will turn bright yellow, but this is not harmful the kidneys will excrete any excess that your body does not need, caution though to those with renal function impairment i would not recommend.
