I'm just starting to notice the results (and they are great!!) of taking MSM and biotin (I've taken biotin alone for a while with little results). I got a relaxer in May and I'm only 7 weeks post and the new growth is about 1.5". The texture is soft and manageable. My next relaxer isn't for a while, but if it keeps growing at this rate, I may have to bump that date up!!!!!
