i generally co-wash everyday sometimes twice a day. i make sure that my hair is miost. i use miss key 10en1 super rinse and henna queen cinnamon conditioner. after rinsing, i apply organic root stimulator olive oil (cream not in the bottle.) and pick and style as usual. that's i also take lots of vitamins that i'm trying to cut down on. you can get the bamboo capsules from www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=SO-2013 hth.mppaul2 said:Your pics are great!! excellent curl definitionwhat's your regime..I am currently on the road to transitioning from relaxed to natural.

Since I doubled my horsetail intake, I started experiencing very dry, flaky, itchy skin.... on my back, neck, arms, breast, and abdomen. It totally counteracted the effects of the Flaxseed, which had been so moisturizing and nourishing for my skin. It was weird and disturbing. erplexed So Ive seen decreased it to one capusle per day, and will see how this goes for the next few weeks. If these skin problems persist I will discontinue altogether. There is no amount of hair growth or thickness in the world that is worth sacraficing my soft, silky, supple skin!

I COMPLETLY understand you on that though! I HATE rough , flaky skin. But seriously you are taking the Futurebiotics like me which also has horsetail in it so we dont need to up the full dosage of the horsetail because we are already getting a HEAVY shot of it. I also have horsetail in my Doo Gro Hair Oil that I use to oil my scalp as well so Im getting it all over the place with no weird effects. The only vitamin that you are taking that Im not taking is the Biotin though...maybe the horsetail and Biotin arent getting along well. Biotin broke my face out like an old pizza pie .....it works for my mother though.

Girl, you know sometimes you just get a good thing, and you take it too far and end up overdoing it. But dude, I blame YOU and those durn "Before" and "After" pics that had everyone jumping on the horsetail bandwagon overnight. But seriously though.... yeah, im hoping my skin returns to normal since I've decreased my dosage back to 500 mg. I sure hope its not related to the Biotin, because i am loving this Biotin!!! Its a real keeper for me. 
) now that you've decreased the horsetail intake it should clear things up for you. I've been peeking in on that PP Biotin and Im so tempted to take it but Im SCARED. I know it could have been due to the fact that I was taking an off brand from Target but I PURPOSELY went on vacation for a week when my face broke out because I REFUSED to be training to a room full of people with my face like that. Matter of fact I'm SURE it was the brand. I bought my mother the PP brand and her hair is thanking her for it daily. She didnt do too well with the horsetail though....she called me telling me she didnt need anything else increasing her bladder . Privating you on the side...I just realized how I remember you! LOL

i bought the puritan's pride biotin (5000mcg) a while ago and it broke my face out like nobody's business, but i took gnc biotin (2500mcg) and it was okay.now i take megabiotin (7500 mcg) by cardiovascular research ltd. from vitaminshoppe.com and i haven't had one break-out. good-luck to all and happy hair growing.rootdeep said:I went to GNC tonight and got my Biotin and ordered the Super Biotin from Puritan Pride. Thanks for the advice!
