Does Biotin work at all?

I'd take the bald size 8 too!

I also vote to be bald and size 8 and that seems to be wear I am headed...no pun intended. I have hair everywhere. I just got a recent picture and in addition to looking fat, I also look bald. Flat, light hair. Fat face - sorry, I am not posting the picture. A plumber friend just pulled 3" of hair from my shower drain and my new hair catcher gets shockingly full each day. I have been low about this for a few days and bought some new barrettes to pull it up (and show off my thinner face). I started biotin when we were just post op, I bought the 5000 mg super power capsule from Puritin and take 1 each morning. I have been good about hitting my protein goal 95% of the time. Hopefully it will make my hair grow right back. Soon. Before surgery my nails were brittle and short. They are now long and hard. Go figure. ~Tiffany

I don't have a lot of hair to start with and can't afford to lose any, but that hasn't stopped it from happening. I have acclimated myself to the fact that I will be bald. My daughter says that is okay, that she will rub my head for good luck.(Does she think she's funny or what.) I am like everyone else though, I'll take being a bald size 8 rather than a head full of hair and fat. Besides think of the fun we can have with different colors and styles of hair every day. Won't our significant others think they have died and gone to heaven with a different girl every night! Hazel

I just take 1 biotin each day (not sublingual--a tab, I think it absorbs well--not sure). I haven't noticed much difference in my hair or nails. I notice it in the morning--when I put in styling wax, a bunch comes off in my hands! Yuck! oh, well---the price you play--at least it comes back! Cathy

I am really holding my breath. I have noticed a little hair loss, I have very thin hair anyway. I have been using Nioxin for years and maybe it will help. I know I don't get my protein in like I should and I am not so consistent with my Biotin. Thanks Dawn, you are right. I would rather be a size 8 and bald than an 18. BTW, you all look like babes!
