Hair Vitamins (Read 2478 times)

Kate Emerald Offline Posts: 328 Linköping, Sweden Gender:	Hair Vitamins Aug 12^th, 2004 at 8:35am I've started taking hair vitamins in an effort to reduce fallout. For those of you who take supplements, how long did it take before you started noticing an effect? Was it mostly fallout which was affected or did you notice an improvement in hair quality as well? /Kate

I personally swear by Ultra Hair Plus(with MSM) supplements.
I have been taking them for about 2 years and nowadays I loose maybe one to three hairs per day(it used to be a lot more,around twenty or so) and my hair quality has improved too,I'm much less prone to splits.
I think it took about 2-3 months before the supplements had any effect at all

50'', very fine but lots of it, Paula's Choice Shampoo,Real Purity Chamomile Shampoo,Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm,Alchemy Macadamia & Wheat Conditioner,Sante Henna Shampoo

I think I started with 15 mg of biotin, when the bottle ran out I dropped it back to 1 mg a day, which is still a huge dose compared to the recommended allowance.

My silica comes in giant oval pills. You're supposed to take 1-3 a day, I take 1.

MSM I bought in a jar that contains 8 oz of powder. I take 3 grams a day, which is ½ teaspoon mixed in a glass of water twice a day. I read of a study where nail technicians were supposedly able to tell which subjects were taking it and which weren't at that dosage.

It's been less than a month for the MSM. I'm really not sure whether the silica or biotin are doing anything. My shed rate is really low anyway. I'm thinking that the MSM should affect my growth rate.

I'll probably make a decision when the bottle runs out.
