So I bought some Biotin today to help my hair grow and I was just wondering if anyone knows how long I will have to take these to see a result!? Anyone know?

I purchased Biotin about 4 months ago. Since then my hair has grown about 4 inches. It is really amazing. But I started noticing a difference in my hair length a month later. But it really depends on how you take care of your hair, and how damaged it is :)

Biotion works good...but what you really need is some (B-6) Its a Vitamin that benifits by putting the important PROTEINS back into your body...Hair=PROTEIN. Wa-La!
You can purchase it at any drugstore, Walmart, Walgreens, etc. Take 2-4 capsuals a day!
& to keep your ends in tip, top shape so they don't break off while ur hair is speeding up its growth, purchase some (Moroccan Oil.) Which you can buy on the internet, salon, beauty stores, etc.!
Hope I helped!! <3xoxo!

I would say 6 weeks or so....WalMart also sells a vitamin called "hair skin and nails"....It works like a charm and will improve your hair skin and nails lol! 

I take it religiously - and noticed about 3 weeks in that my nails were growing lightning fast! Then I noticed a change for the better in my hair's texture and moisture retention, which led to less breakage.

ooh i definitely need to get these supplements too! can you take B6 and Biotin together? Do you think they would work faster, or would it be too much?

I wouldn't recommend a vitamin B overload (Biotin is B7). The effect on your kidneys can't be good...

It's about nails, how they grow and how to maintain them. It's kind of the same for the hair :)

Ive had Biotin sitting on my shelf for months!! I really need to get my but in gear and take these tablets, how do you guys take them with food? all in one go? 

I just bought biotin :) I have pretty long hair but wanted to improve my hair, skin, and nails. Does biotin make lashes grow? And does it help maintain clear skin combined with a good cleansing system?

Kinda' piggybacking on Alexanda's question, and I have a really weird one, at that..... Does biotin/protein make your hair grow... everywhere? =\

I've been taking Biotin the 5,000mg once a day since Sept. 30 and I'm noticing my nails grow more than my hair. I'm going to keep taking them though because maybe I'm just not paying much attention to my hair =) 

Where do you get biotin at? 

Walmart, target, h-e-b, and walgreens :)

It is THE BEST!! It's the one item I guarantee to my clients. Within a month, you'll notice an increase in growth in hair. I actually don't recommend it to clients that get relaxers or color because they have to come in for retouches more often. You'll even notice that you have to shave or wax more often (the one bad side effect). Viviscal works great for thinning, too. (It's much more pricey, though)

Wouldn't it be the same as taking pre-natals? I know those help the hair and skin as well and gives your body more nutrients. Do you still need to take a multivitamin when taking biotin?

The pre-natals, not so much. They have too much iron. A multi and a biotin supplement should be great.

Prenatals are essentially the same as multivitamins with folic acid and extra iron in them.

So Biotin makes your hair grow...longer? Does it make it grow thicker too?

I tried Biotin for a few months (5000mg) and I loved it. Definitely made a huge difference in my hair. I got about an inch of growth after a month, but I actually first noticed the difference in my eyelashes. They got way longer too. I never really noticed anything with the thickness of my hair because it's already stupid thick, but if anyone is looking for a vitamin supplement that helps stimulate a little growth, I've heard amazing things about Nioxin's Intense Therapy Recharging Complex. I had a few clients say that they noticed a difference within a few days and one of the other stylists I worked with said that every time she parted her hair she saw new little hairs growing after a few weeks. 

So I finally picked up the Biotin after reading about how amazing it is and I have been taking them with a multi vitamin since Saturday (Nov. 5) I cannot wait to see the results!!

The thing about taking a multivitamin or any supplement is that you need to see a doctor first who can order blood work to see where you're deficient at. Taking any medication over-the-counter is risky business but even more so when it comes to vitamins and supplements because you CAN overdose on it and ruin your liver and even your bones.
