    I am taking it now. No side effects for me. I am trying to have long hair so i was told it helps. Only been taking it for about 3 weeks now so i dont know if it really does help yet or not.

    Biotin has helped a lot of people's hair grow thicker and fuller. A lot of people also reported acne related to it. When I took it, I did have some bad acne. Although, it could have been related to switching birth control. But I stopped taking it because I never noticed any real difference in my hair/nail growth. The only thing that helped my hair was taking a multivitamin.

    I take 1000mg of Biotin a day. It won't help your hair grow longer or thicker, but it's supposed to make your hair, skin, and nails healthier. I've noticed the biggest difference in my nails...they're stronger and whiter than before.

    I'm not sure what your goal is by taking it, but if you'd really like to improve the health of your hair, switch to a protein shampoo (I use Label M - you can only get it at a salon, but it is the best shampoo I've ever used), you will notice a huge difference!
