So I began taking biotin, folic acid, and fish oil 3 weeks ago and I may be going crazy but in the picture on the left it was 2 days after my haircut right when I began taking the pills and with my hair straight and the right is last night with my natural curly hair. My hair looks a lot longer and if I had straightened it I believe it would look even longer. What do you think? I hope I'm not seeing things!

What it does is strengthens your hair so you see less breakage. Government and following agencies don't have anything for hair growth lol.

They definitely support and promote hair growth. I work in a salon I have a lot of knowledge with these things.

@Stephanie Hair Loss Brushes - One persistent myth is that stimulating the scalp with magnets, brushes and massagers can improve blood circulation to the hair follicles and therefore reduce hair loss and improve new hair growth. There is no reliable medical evidence to support this claim. While there are real medical treatments to stimulate hair follicles and help improve blood circulation - like minoxidil, low level laser therapy and platelet-rich plasma - this can't effectively be done via a special hair brush or scalp massager. Good nutrition and certain supplements like biotin and marine-derived proteins and polysaccharides can help support hair quality. However, it's important to keep expectations realistic. A vitamin isn't going to stop hereditary hair loss or regrow hair from scalp where follicles are already dead and gone. Only FDA-approved medical treatments like minoxidil and finasteride have been extensively proven to slow, stop and reverse hereditary hair loss. And only surgical hair transplantation can regrow hair where severe depletion of hair follicles has occurred.

Also, if you are growing hair from taking biotin, it is because your body does not have SUFFICIENT Biotin available.

No, because if you aren’t experiencing the symptoms of a biotin deficiency or have a disease that deprives your body of biotin, you are getting enough of it through your daily intake of food. There is NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE supporting any claims that biotin can treat hair loss or stimulate hair growth in those with normal biotin levels. Biotin supplements truly aren’t necessary unless you have a deficiency or related disease, but should you decide to supplement your intake of B vitamins, it is best to start out on the LOWEST dosage of micrograms and work your way up to a higher dosage over time. Also important to understand is that biotin is water-soluble so it can easily be stored in and excreted from the body; you must drink the full recommended 8 glasses of water a day to reduce the occurrence of a commonly reported side effect, acne.

@kitty k. Wait so I have been breaking out recently horribly and I never EVER do. Do you think it's from the biotin?!?!

Most likely... Drink lots and lots of water. And eats lots of fruits and veggies high in water content ( Like apples, for instance ).
I wanted to do it too but I'm the type who digs and digs until I get the scientific evidence because my parents don't have much money and we live pay check to pay check.. ( I am that random girl with the ancient flip phone and no texting, just calling lol.) so my dad comes home covered in cuts and bruises and I prefer not to overwhelm him with a bill from the dermatologist, lol. Or waste money buying something that really isn't doing what I believed it does.

@kitty k. All that was not necessary. I'm not sure of the point in all of that some things are better kept personal.
