Biotin is a beast!!

[zailless]

Life was a little too hectic since the start of the year so i missed alot of brazilian waxing appointments. I got scared each time I missed the other because i was taking biotin and i just know i was gonna pass out during the process with those big strands of hair.

when i went to salon, the lady said in all her years of waxing people she never saw such thick hairs. i told her i was taking biotin. she said 'you not leaving here until you write it on a piece of paper, i want it for my hair'.

it was brutal but i knew it was gonna be like that, i took aspirin before but i tell ya.

my scalp hair is mega thick. I tried to take a picture of the strand to show the root since i started biotin in nov/dec.(it wont show up). It makes the hair feel like bristles.
for my balding edge it turned the vellus hair into strong thick strands and it is still recovering but it is fully covered with hair.

I recommend biotin if you are thinning. it takes time though. i take it 2 or 3 times a day 5mg each time but you dont need that much, i was just crazy to get back my bald edge.

lol i love biotin

its the best vitamin EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

makes hair thick n long n strong

imagine it on natural hair
wow!

 

[Serenity_Peace]

Congratulations to you! That's terrific! Which brand of biotin do you use? I am on Nature's Way. I truly believe that it is what's finally making my hair look fuller and thicker. It's difficult to me to tell exactly what's going on because I'm stretching out a relaxer, but I know that my hair is different. I now have a mustache and a beard! And I just had my nails done last Saturday. Well, it looks like I have to get them redone already.

Hi,
I use the nowfoods biotin. seriously, i went through some major thinning and the hair looked ridiculous, now i feel like my hair is rooted somewhere instead of falling out everyday. another thing, my hair is so black and shiny. I stretch the strands to see how fast they will break and they just stretch and stretch without popping.

I took biotin a long time ago and I what I remember is that my acne started flaring like crazy. But I couldn't tell if it was the biotin or fish oil. I just stopped all together because I couldn't break out worse than I already was.

Glad you are having success with it though.

thanks. that was probably it. I was drinking more water, but obviously not enough.

 

[lennet93]

lol...I agree but I love Biotin, I havent been taking it that long but I already see the effects of it. My eyebrows are out of control, they're growing in so thick and dark. My new growth is coming in very thick but soft. It's like a miracle vitamin...lol

 

[The Girl]

sometimes too when you start a new vitamin/mineral it will detox your body...meaning get all the bad stuff out. This could mean foul acne, sweating more, or going to the bathroom more. Its like taking antibiotics, the doctor will even say that the symptoms get worse before they get better

 

[tricie]

Yes, indeedy, biotin is out of control! I started taking biotin a few months ago (before all the other vits), and I had uncontollable, super thick new growth at like 5 weeks! I think the reason now that my new growth is tamable is because of the MSM that I take.

Either way, I have been having to pluck my eyebrows and chin every other day! It's a small price to pay to see it grow on your head, though!

 

[JewelleNY]

I tell people about Biotin all of the time, my co-worker said wow, your hair is long and I said, "Biotin"! My hair grows like weeds with it

 

[tricie]

Hey, JewelleNY,

Your hair is bangin'!

 

[Candy_C]

Taking N-Acytel-L-Cysteine (NAC) and Biotin is great for growing out your hair fast..

may be too fast for relaxers as you might need to get your hair retouched rediculously often.

What is NAC?
I have the 7500 mcg biotin. Would twice a day be too much?

 

[Candy_C]

What is NAC?

try 5,000mcg and 600mg NAC everyday.

take NAC with orange juice so it doesnt convert to l-cystine in your body, which isnt great...

a lil less biotin and 600mg of nac will promote mad growth

then after a while go back to your normal biotin intake

trust me i have too much this month, thats why i feel its time to transition very soon

ps. look @ this http://www.nutriteam.com/servlet/the-131/N-dsh-Acetyl-Cysteine-NAC-anti-dsh-oxidant/Detail

its a type of sulphur. it can really increase the hair rate..NAC is a better form of L-Cysteine which has been raved on here in the past

its an anti-oxident and increases the life of hair and also increases growth

also can increase your life!!

its a wonderful anti-oxidant

Can I take it with water? I don't drink any drinks with carbs and sugars. Since I have a sweet tooth, I prefer to get my sugars from cookies and cakes, lol

tee hee

yep, i take mine with water. they say its best to take on an empty stomach.

at first you may or may not have headaches, its detoxing all the metals and lead out your body that you breathe in ona daily basis.

just make sure your getting enough vitamin c in your body.

maybe in a multi vitamin perhaps? or a vit C capsule



if you decide to take it, let me know how you get on. i'll bump up a few l-cysteine threads 4 ya aswell

Hey, JewelleNY,

Thank you so much Tricie Your hair is beautiful too, love the shine

 

[Blossssom]

Before a Brazilian waxing, it might be helpful to either trim the hairs or lightly shave some of the hairs off.

When I started the high dose of biotin, I broke out. originally i had to use castor oil to make sure i didnt get spots bbut then i had to drink lots of water. if we ever ran out of drinking water at work, i drink bottles and bottles of the sugar free drinks there just to make sure its not condensed in my body.

after a while the pimples subsided and i was acne free.

 

[Mocha5]

Great post. Thanks for the info, ladies!

 

[Mahalialee4]

If you add the Biotin to your food do you think you would still break out? Like mix it up with something that tastes strong anyway? bonjour

What do you mean? You will still be consuming biotin? The key to not breaking out is water intake. Also, it is easier to increase dosage over time instead of starting high initially.

 

[BMoreFlyy]

this almost....note the almost .... makes me want to revisit biotin.

 

[healthyhairin07]

I just started taking Biotin about two weeks ago. How long does it take to start seeing results? I started with 1000 mcg (1 mg). This week I just increased the dosage to 4,000 mcg (4 mg).
