Alot of you are saying that you've noticed alot of growth with PP Biotin, but no one really says how much. So i wanna know how much growth have you seen adding PP biotin to your current vit regime?..oh and what is your current vit regime?

gosh i wish i could say but i dont know. i was in braids when i first started pp biotin and since out of them i had a touchup which resulted in underprocessed hair. and since i dont measure my hair i cant tell. i just go by if it is getting longer or not. maybe next month i will be able to determine how all these pills are affecting my hair. God bless you all.

I'm currently taking 5000 mcg, and my amount of new growth went from 1/3 to 1/2 an inch per month. Since my new growth comes in tightly coiled, I measure when I relax. Also, my nails are growing fast and strong as a result of the biotin.

But I know that my hair growth increase is a result of my lifestyle change, not just PPB. Other factors, such as daily rinsing, constant conditioning, other vitamins, etc contribute to growth.

I've cut my vitamin intake to just Biotin, GNC Ultra Mega, Zinc, and Flaxseed. The 16 I was taking every day was just OVERKILL! !

Ire manzi,

Would you mind sharing in what period of time you got the inch+ new growth?
I may need to alter my routine.

I'm taking the PP biotin (5mg), but I don't think I've noticed more growth than usual. I think I was doing just as well with the Target biotin. I think everyone might react differently to different brands of vitamins.

 

[Ire_manzi]

I got an inch+ in three weeks after i braided my hair in individual braids(05/15/03- 06/06/03)

. I was hoping to go for two months with braids, but with the new growth that i have right now, i might have to take out the braids in the next two to three weeks.

 

[Crysdon]

My growth has upped from 1/4 an inch per month to 1/2 an inch. Don't forget to also take B-Complex, if you're going to purchase Biotin.

 

[Supergirl]

I have not noticed an increase in growth rate.

Me neither, but my nails do seem to be growing faster than they were before...

Hello ladies

I Am new to the site and would like to know what is "PP" biotin?

 

[Pepperanne3662]

WAIT!!! I think I got it...Puritan Pride?? If so...thanks

I am a product junkie

and know for sure I am going to search for it and try it ....what health food store is sure to carry it? I am near GNC and the VitaminShoppe

I've noticed more growth than usual, but I too completly changed my routine so I can't exactly say that it was the biotin, but I do have a sneaky suspicion........oh! and to the ladies that were talking about itching..boy were you not kidding. Thing is, it's not the scalp (mainly) it's EVERYWHERE else. And i couldn't figure it out for days why I was CONSTANTLY scratching. But more water helps.....

 

[lunalight7]

I have noticed no increase in hair growth (been almost a month) and very little itching (body only). Maybe I need more time....

 

[azul11]

i think so too. because i remember someone saying that when they took b5 it took them 5-7 weeks until the really noticed a difference. so maybe its the same with the pp biotin. God bless you all.

I've noticed a pretty significant increase. Last month, when I got a press, I also got 1.25" of straggly ends taken off. Well, this month, when I went back to my stylist, at least an inch of this had grown back. I usually get about .5" a month in growth. I'm pretty impressed and most of the itchies have subsided (or maybe I'm just accustomed to them now

).
