Proliferation and Differentiation of Cultured Human Follicular Keratinocytes Are Not Influenced by Biotin

Biotin and Keratin shampoos are discussed for hair health and growth. Users suggest shampoos alone don't significantly aid hair growth.

The conversation is about someone experiencing significant hair regrowth after 23 days on Finasteride and Biotin, with others suggesting additional treatments like Minoxidil and microneedling. Some doubt the speed of hair growth, while others believe Biotin isn't contributing to the results.

Biotin supplements are considered ineffective for hair loss and are not supported by evidence. People in the conversation have mixed experiences, with some noting benefits for nails and skin but not hair, while others continue to use biotin as part of their vitamin regimen.

Biotin supplements are not effective for hair loss unless you are actually deficient, which is rare. Some users report improved hair quality with biotin, but there's no evidence supporting its use for hair loss in healthy individuals.

Biotin may strengthen existing hair and reduce hair loss, but it doesn't promote new hair growth. Some users report stronger, darker hair, while others see no benefits or experience acne.

A 19-year-old was advised by their primary care provider to take biotin for hair loss instead of minoxidil or finasteride due to potential side effects and age concerns. The user is considering seeking a second opinion from a dermatologist.
