It may be kinda hard to find one that's a multi, without Biotin, being as though that is a main ingredient targeted for hair growth, but a good suggestion would be to see if you can find something with the individual ingredients that are also targeted toward hair health, which is Choline and Inositol, I am not positive, but I believe they may sell them individually.HTH

You can try folic acid...

Do you recommend a specific brand or just any prenatals? I think I'd be okay with a trace amount of it; it just seems my skin reacts so immediately/badly to regular doses of Biotin....

Are you already taking a multi for your total health? When I took a hair multi, it made no difference to me, so I opted to take a full multi which is what I had been doing anyway all along and no problems here.
But if you really need a hair vitamin, just make sure your body is getting enough of the nutrients it needs and that you don't OD in the oil soluble ones by adding a hair one. If your body is not getting what it needs, the whatever you take for your hair will be hogged by your body and so do very little for your hair.
My other question is, does Biotin break you out even when it is part of a multi, or when you take it alone? I believe people get breakouts when they take biotin on its own in very high amounts, or when it isn't part of a complex. Some complexes have very small amounts 400 mcg while others have 3000 mcg. Are you sure the low dosage ones break you out too?
Anyway, to answer you question, here's a hair, skin and nail multi w/o biotin but I don't know if it is "the best". Otherwise consider a hair multi that has low biotin dosage.

Well my multivitamin contains 17% of your DV of Biotin is that still too much? Its the GNC Ultra Mega Women with 80 mg of B vitamins which works out for me because its like having almost two B-50 Complex pills mixed in with your mutli.

LaidBak, are you taking biotin on its on or as part of a complex?
Chameleonchick, I personally believe that if you are taking biotin as part of a multi, then you are not taking too much. I believe multis balance supplements so you are not overdoing any.
BTW, just want to toss this out there: while certain supplements work for some people, they may not work for others because your body already has too much of those sups while the person that they worked for was deficient in them. So it seems like a better gamble to me to take a multi so that at least you are guaranteed to get whatever was missing and hopefully see better growth. Just something to consider.

Hey Nonie, I was taking it solo for all those years. After reading about it on here I gave myself a break of about 3 months, then started taking it as a part of a B-complex. After 2 doses of that (at 300mcg) I had knots on my chin and cheeks.
I need it back in my life though. Nothing else makes my nails as strong as biotin did. And I love that it strengthened my hair.

From what I remember, I was breaking out when I was taking it in high doses, by itself. So I'm going to go ahead and just try any multivitamin as long as its a lower dose. Thanks
