I have suffered thinning hair for many years. I have used Rogaine ever since it came out, but it did not thicken my hair much. I began taking Biotin about 6 months ago.

I have suffered thinning hair for many years. I have used Rogaine ever since it came out, but it did not thicken my hair much. I began taking Biotin about 6 months ago. For the first 3 months, I felt my hair was thickening, but only slightly. I figured I needed additional help so I began taking some of the supplements listed in the famous Bargello's Vitamin Regimen (Google it). I have taken a multivitamin for many years along with a Vitamin D supplement, so I added MSM, Evening Primrose, and Flaxseed Oil to my regimen. (No real science to my choice of products; I just went to Natural Grocers and stopped buying after my total reached $40.) I also added Vitamin B-12, based on some online reading. I have not added iron although some sources suggest it might be helpful. I have had no side effects at all, except -- about a month after adding the supplements, I experienced the worst shed of my life. My hair line receded (even more) and my hair thinned all over my scalp. With some careful teasing, artful arranging of the hair, generous application of Toppik, and lots of hairspray to keep everything in place, I was able to camouflage the shed enough to ride things out. It took about a month of misery and self-consciousness, but now my hair is growing in thicker than it has since I was a youngster! My hairline is filling in and there are no thin spots anywhere on my scalp, and the hair that is coming in is not the thin, fragile hair you get after your hair follicles have practically shut down, but robust medium-coarse hair and with no shedding to speak of -- I see only about 5 hairs in the sink after I comb my hair and arrange it, when I used to see at least 20-30. Honestly, it's as if the terrible hair shed I went through earlier was just this great new hair pushing the old stuff out of my follicles! It is SO GREAT having hair again! Try it for yourself!

In 2011 I got the Mirena IUD. I had it in for 4 years with no problems until one day my hair started coming out in chunks causing huge bald spots. I was cramping and dizzy all the time, so I decided to have the IUD removed. Weeks passed and everything went back to normal except my hair. Over half my hair was gone and it wasn't coming back. I started taking biotin in February of 2016 and still ... Show Full Comment

I started taking biotin in February of 2016 and still take it everyday! My hair came back and just in time for my wedding day back in March of 2017. I swear by biotin and I recommend it to anyone and everyone!

Started taking because I had increased hair breakage. Breakage has been a problem all my life, but it had started to get very bad. I started taking 10000 MCG daily and within a month breakage is barely noticeable. I haven't had this little breakage EVER. I am using NeoCell Biotin Bursts. One chew per day.
