Thank you.
How long have you been taking it? 1 1/2 years.
Did you have a breakouts in the beginning? Yes, Yes, Yes. But due to drinking an execessive amount of water, it has stopped. Very seldom I do get just a few breakouts, but they keep going away.
Is your hair thicker since you startd taking biotin? YES. You could literally see through most of my hair. Now, since the growth you can only see through the split ends at the bottom of my hair shaft.
Is your hair growing faster than before? Yes. How many inches per month? My hair used to grow between 1/4" - 1/2" per month. Now, it grows, "at least" 1" per month.

Hope this helps!
How long have you been taking it?
off on on for about a year but i'm taking 10, 000 mcg
Did you have a breakouts in the beginning?
ummm.... nothing memorable maybe a spot or two nothing crazy. i take a B complex which is supposed to prevent this.
Is your hair thicker since you startd taking biotin?
yes very! very very very! buuuuuuuuuut... i take other supplements so i think they are working together (msm and silica). OMG your nails will grow like crazy too and grow stronger. i have to keep cutting them now whereas before they would just break off.
Is your hair growing faster than before? How many inches per month?
yes it is i know this for a fact because during last summer i was on meds and didn't want to strain my liver so i quit all supplements except a multi and it took AGES before I needed a touch up. Then I got off the meds and back on the supplements and
six weeks after a touch up I am struggling. I'd say like the rest about an inch a month.

Biotin is the bizness. I don't know how many inches I get per month, since I don't measure it often.
I've been taking biotin for a little over a year, not always 5,000mcg, most of the time I've taken a lower dose.
I cut my hair down to a TWA in August of '06, and I'm at BSL stretched now. There's no way my hair grew that fast before the biotin... of course I wasn't retaining much either.
I highly reccomend it, but ya gotta take a B complex with it, otherwise the biotin bumps WILL get you.

^^The Biotin bumps! I love it. Well I don't take 5000 mcg but I'm at 3000mcg with 1000mg of Vitamin C daily. My new growth is so strong and my nails are just downright annoying. They are growing so long, I need a fill in at 9 days instead of 15.

Well the 5000mcg is a bit much for me I think because that stuff had me bouncin' off the walls! Hungry! More than with a multivitamin. Seems like I could never get full! Plus I started having headaches too! Now, I am prone to those, but the Biotin made them frequent and much worse! I took it for about a week and a half and had to stop. So, as you can see I didn't take them long enough to see results. I just wanted to let people know in case it happens to you. I didn't experience any breakouts.
I didn't wanna throw my bottles away, so now I'm back to taking them, but like every other day. If that doesn't work then I'm cutting them in half. I just wanna give it a chance. Shoot I want an inch of growth per month too! I'm also back to taking my multivitamin with it. I wasn't doing that before. So far, so good. If it doesn't work this time, then I'll just stick with a mulitvitamin.

I did. Check my fotki for my progress. Look in my APL folder for my biotin results.
How long have you been taking it? 2 years
Did you have a breakouts in the beginning? nope
Is your hair thicker since you startd taking biotin? not really.
Is your hair growing faster than before? it seems to be but i can't attribute it to the biotin.
How many inches per month? i get consistently between 3/4"-1" per month, but again it's isn't solely because of biotin.
