The word is three to four months. But for some people, the brand of biotin seems to make a difference too. And I also believe that if your hair was already getting sufficient biotin from your diet, your growth rate may not change much from taking biotin supplements; you only pass out the excess. If it doesn't seem to make a difference, maybe another nutrient is what your hair needs. Or maybe your body isn't deficient in any hair nutrient and so your rate is as fast as it could possibly be... I say, focus on maintaining your hair at its best without thinking "length". Let that secretly creep up on you.
There's no nicer surprise than a gift you knew you were entitled to but long forgot was coming to you.

Why does it take so long?

I guess it takes long because before your hair can get the nutrients it may have been lacking, your body must get its share first. But it may also appear to be so long because a watched pot just never boils.
It's not really as bad as it may seem. If you think about Cathy Howse's book (and what the scientists say)... 6" in one year... That's the average/normal growth rate. Yet if we saw that much growth, we'd have 18" of growth in 3 years. Now that sounds like a dream out of the league of most of us who've never had hair close to that length. And yet, all it'd take to see it is better knowledge of our hair and better care using that knowledge, so we could succeed in keeping every inch we grew. And in three years, we'd have hair beyond our bra-strap. Now if we take supplements and our hair doesn't speed up to 2" a month, we fret coz it happened to someone else. But in three years with 18" worth of growth, would it matter that our hair only made it to the 1/2" a month pace? I don't think so.
So don't change what's working for you, no matter what speedy success someone else has with a magic portion out there. Just stick to the regimen you've found. Change only if something needs fixing. Let your aim be to save your hair from damage and breakage. In a year or so, no one will ask what your growth rate was. They'll only be interested in knowing what you did to get the long hair you have. Your only problem then may be trying to convince them you didn't do any more than what you are doing now.
Happy growing!
