Grow Biotin: Hair and Nails

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.

User is experiencing increased sebum, dandruff, and acne after taking a supplement containing biotin, iron, zinc, and calcium pantothenate along with finasteride. They are questioning if biotin is the cause and whether they should stop taking it.

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

People shared that Biotin supplements did not improve their hair loss and some experienced stronger nails or more pimples. They suggested trying finasteride or minoxidil instead for hair loss treatment.

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.
