    I lost almost all the hair from my temples and across the top of my head. I looked like a man with a receding hairline. I was so self-conscious. I started taking oral Biotin (3000 mcg a day, preferably the oral disintegrating kind) available at Walmart (Natrol brand) found with the vitamins. I also went to a health food store and bought biotin shampoo and conditioner. I got Mill Creek brand. It is the only one that listed biotin as the second ingredient. The others had biotin listed way down on the ingredients list. In 6 months my hair is growing back wonderfully. It is still a tiny bit thin at the temples, but the rest is wavy and thick. I wish I had pics I could show you. I hope this helps.

    My edges are aweful too. When you say Oral biotin are you talking about a pill or lotion/grease?

    My problem was an iron deficiency, I now eat a fortified cereal since the vitamins made horribly sick, and my hair stopped falling out.
