    Everything works different for everybody. Sometimes your body lacks biotin so a supliment helps. If you make more than enough biotin internally, then you probably won't see the vitamins doing much for you. Personally, biotin and iron help me.

  • @FloridaLife_7777

    I used to do hair for for a very long time. I also used to do hair treatments for people for many years. I used to measure my hair in the shower using the fist method, meaning each time you wring out your hair you would start at the nape of your neck and take one hand while wringing out your hair starting at nape of your neck and use the other hand to squeeze out the excess water and so on you keep going down alternation your hands as you wring out your hair you are going to actually measure your hair this way count how many fist you make as going down your hair while wringing out your hair. I counted 5 hands of long hair which was middle of my back before crushing up biotin and multi vitamins and adding them to a shampoo before beginning my hair growth treatments. I can tell you that most hair is supposed to grow a half inch a month. And that was about right for myself before I had added my remedy to the mix. After I crushed 10-12 biotin up and I crushed 10 vitamins up and I would put them into a proffered selected favorite shampoo, I would shake my shampoo bottle very well to distribute the vitamins. Then before each shampoo you will want to shake the bottle very well before adding shampoo to your head. I would add a generous amount of shampoo to my scalp and hair and concentrate on my scalp and massage the shampoo very well in my scalp. Massage for 3-5 minutes then rinse out in warm water then do the final rinsing should always be in cool water this will help to close the cuticle and stop falling hair and make your hair strong and shiny. I can honestly tell you After 4-5 months my fine thin hair went from middle of my back to above my waste, and was thicker and stronger this included me having regular trims that I did my self. My hair was fine all my life and got healthier and thicker and way longer in only 4-5 months. So I am hear to say no matter what people believe to work or not to work, you must try things for your self, this is the only way you will not only get fast results but you will know for sure that what I am telling you really works! I was recently going through older pictures when my hair was long and I seen that my hair was much thicker, longer, and healthier with me doing consistand hair treatments. And I recently started up my hair treatments once again and 8 am getting a lot of compliments. Your scalp does absorb nutrients! You have blood circulating under your scalp. And yes you too can grow healthy hair if you give your hair what it needs. I also do hair oil treatments. Just like your car needs the right oils, so does your hair, to help protect and to help nourish. The science (the proof) is in the pudding. Try this for your self and be consistent. Then follow up on your amazing results and see for your self. Don't knock it until you try it. Oils I have used for my hair were olive oil, or coconut oil, or jahoba oil, or almond oil, rosemary oil. Hair oiling treatments should be done twice a week and hair washing with the biotin added and vitamin and minerals added to the shampoo should be washed into your scalp and hair 3 times a weak for best results always be consistent. Also once every six weeks use a clarifying shampoo and snip off a small amount from your ends. You too will see the amazing results and I am very sure you will come back to tell your amazing results. Remember your hair looks how you treat it! Smiles. Now go out and do something for your hair. Buy the treatments and shampoos and spoil your hair. Your hair will be good to you when your good to your hair giving it the proper aid to grow healthy and strong! Much love from Chicago.

    I use 10,000 mcg biotin liquid directly on my scalp every but I also use a lot of other stuff. Coffee, hibiscus tea, MSM, sage, rosemary, ginger, fenugreek, rice water, Black Jamaican Castor oil, and Cocoa. I'm not sure what is causing my hair to grow. Plus I stopped combing my hair. I only use water to wash my hair once a month. I use my fingers to detangle my hair every four months. If you do the math, your hair sheds 50 to 100 strands every day. If you stop combing your hair will retain length. On average your hair grows half an inch every month. Technically we should all grow 6 inches of hair every year. I keep my hair in a pineapple protective style. Braids and twist tangle my hair up and create single strand knots (I keep my hair in a loose pineapple covered with a doo-rag...lol). I apply water and oils with a baby dropper directly to my scalp. I use sesame seed oil and rosemary oil to the ends of my hair every day. I'm open to all suggestions. I was using a silk scarf but it kept falling off my head...lol contact me if you have any suggestions. I'm adding this stuff to my hair care regiment next month:

    Coming from a hairstylist i understand completely what she's saying. A lot of companies put stuff on labels to get people attention, i do however think putting biotin on your scalp can support some type of hair growth, but its not going to be a lot, if its mixed with a lot of different products and chemicals. Also the only way the biotin can support any type of hair growth is by adding heat to the hair to open the cuticles of the hair, and whenever you open the cuticles of the hair you got to close it back to prevent damage.

    Yes,biotin is best absorbed when digested. It can be absorbed into your skin,palms of your Hands,,forehead,scalp,inside your armpits inside wrists. It influence the sebaceous glands and can Normalize their fluctuations. Biotin oil deeply penetrates into hair shaft and follicle it works best absorbs best when warmed up. Biotin hydrates the skin cells. If it isn't absorbing it's because it's not being applied to a clean scalp. Or there's low porosity because the cuticles are too tight. Needs to be massaged into the scalp which stimulates the sebaceous glands. Not sure where you're getting your information from. 🤔

    The study was designed to test the ability of sequential applications of biotin-containing ointment to increase serum biotin levels. Twenty atopic dermatitis patients (mean age, 20.5 yr) and 11 healthy subjects (mean age, 25.5 yr) volunteered to participate in this study. The diagnosis of atopic dermatitis was established dermatologically. Seven grams per day of ointment containing 0.3% biotin and 1-4 g per day of steroid ointment were both applied sequentially. The healthy subjects applied only biotin ointment. The biotin concentration was determined microbiologically. Before biotin treatment, the average serum biotin level was significantly lower in atopic dermatitis patients than in healthy subjects. The percutaneous application of biotin-containing ointment caused a significant increase in the serum biotin concentration in both healthy subjects (from 41.5 +/- 10.0 to 50.2 +/- 9.2 nmol/L) and in atopic dermatitis patients (from 27.9 +/- 17.4 to 50.7 +/- 21.6 nmol/L), especially in patients whose initial level was low, and also could be effective in regulating the atopic allergic response involving eosinophils. In conclusion, biotin appears to be readily absorbed through both normal and dermatitis-affected human skin.

    I want to confirm what you're saying by adding my experience. I have gone to pharmacists at the various companies and they totally agree with your statement that biotin in shampoos will not work. It has to be ingested into the system and most of the Biotin in shampoos will simply be washed away in the cleaning process.
    I'm in my second month of growing a full beard and it's a goal to grow it as fast as possible. Which is why I'm considering using biotin. But I've learned that if I go that route it's important to take it orally in addition to using natural topical oils to help the follicles. The biotin shampoos are a waste of money.

    • @Michelle-pn9xt
      @Michelle-pn9xt ปีที่แล้ว

      Why are you using biotin in a shampoo. Use a biotin serum or another hair growth serum. Chemicals from perms affect your body, so why wouldn't biotin affect your hair? Stop focusing on shampoo.

    Amazon has a 5000mcg liquid biotin that can be taken orally and/or topically. It got an overall 4 star review, and it grew most of the customer's hair. Its 'Ultra Liquid Biotin w/ hair vitamins organic coconut oil, vitamin E + B6". Not everything works for everybody. But I believe it works for some. And I plan on giving it a try soon...especially when it states it can be taken both ways. But the ones that only state to take it orally are less likely to work topically.
