That sucks that biotin did that to you! It hasn't happened to me or the people who've made reviews on it that I've seen, well of course besides you. I guess it just goes to show you should be careful with supplements and vitamins.
Yes when you dont drink water these things can break you out in addition you can be allergic to anything im allergic to fruit veggies and nuts so these pills will not only do what i want them to which is grow my hair but it will give me the nutrients i need :)
I don't want the breakout...so i was wondering about the biotin shampoos on the market. I f anyone has tried it please let me know how it worked. Thank you
I remember i watched this last year & THATS what made me start taking biotin :) . My hair was to my shoulder blades & i was an idiot & cut my hair all off & i wanted long hair again so i started taking biotin. I think 2 a day & i dont remember how many mcg it was. I never had any break outs & my hair grew amazingly & im looking back & realized that i cut my hair like that december & my hair touched my shoulder again by the time it was march (of the same year!!!) .
I use to take 5,000 mcg of biotions and about 2 months in I started breaking out and I never breakout. For 6 months I had ugly breakouts. However, I was talking to my sister and she mentioned she stopped taking biotin because she started breaking out and it made her sick.
But my hair grew so much in the six months that I started taking it. I stopped taking the 5,000 mcg which is WAY over the amount required in a daily diet and I take 1 600 mcg a day and I no longer breakout.
ive been taking biotin about 3000mcg a day and to prevent any breakouts i also take zinc along with it... that stopped all the breakouts. i don't know why it works but i read it on a haircare site it really did work. as far as growth... i wont say it made my hair grow but i do think it has made my hair more healthy and stronger to prevent breakage and shedding.
I don't drink sodas or juices. All I drink is water and the biotin made me break out. And I drink A LOT of water. I got the Hair Max supplement and intead of 2/day I can only take 1/day if not I start to break out. Or i take 2 every 2 days. If you are acne pron I recommend to take much less than the recommend dosage or just avoid it. I eat foods rich in biotin so I don't get stress about not taking enough in pill form.
You broke out because you wasn't drinking enough water.I take 1,000 Mcg 5 times a week and 2,000 Mcg on my co wash and wash days but I also drink a LOT of water.
I believe it was the biotin. I took biotin for almost 3 weeks and broke out terribly, but i believe if i drank the recommended 1.9 liters of water i wouldnt have broken out as bad. when i got off the biotin the breakouts stopped. Also I love ur hair!! are u natural? how long did it take u for ur hair to be that long? also what do u put in ur hair to keep it moisturized?
the 3000 one is way too much to be takeing wow i only use the 1000 one once a week or every 2 weeks read up on what and how much u should take before u take anything people
"ALOT" is not a measurement and thus "alot" is different for everyone and until that value is figured out you may run the risk of breaking out. Some think it's worth it, but as someone who drinks "alot" of water...the breakouts are not worth it. Gl to all who try it
I have been taking biotin for 3 days and ive noticed some small differences in my skin and nail they look a little healthier as far as my hair i noticed it flakes a lot more than usual and not so oily and softer
biotin works different for every person...it may work great for one and real bad for another it depends on the person..some people take more than one pill a day i only take one everyday or do one pill every other day
Well it may just be that your own skin type can not take it also you need to read the ingrediant that the face peel had in it, thats probly the real cause of your breakout. But I use biotin and it gives awesome results to, hair skin and nials but remember water is the greatest suppliment ever. So if you are taking a supplement you need to drink double times the water that you were before you took the suppliment.
You should only use d-Biotin 5 mg with is = to 5000 mcg. If you took only "d-biotin" without any add-in's you wll not breakout. I am a nusre and many doctors give patients d-biotin all of the time to promte hair growth and promote healthy skin...infact the only way you can have a breakout on d-biotin is mainly when your glucose is higher than normal. I also fights to lower high glucose levels. D-biotin at 5mg is great for your skin, hair, and glucose levels.
i wont take the risk..im not taking biotin now. Something tells me ill end up breaking out xD ill just try mayo, eggs and olive oil on my hair instead o_e thanks ^^
I used to take it, and never got any. But I looked up other reviews on Biotin a while ago and a couple of people had the same problem so you're not alone.
I have been using 100% biotin for almost a year and have never had breakouts, or headache, & my hair actually sheds less now. Maybe you broke out becaue it had other things in it.
hi can you tell me the name of the vitamin that you took because my hair is very short im cut like a boy but want my hair to grow again. i would appreciate it thank you
I've seen a few of your vid, love the hair! mine is about 11in in the front about 15in in the back, just curious too know how do you keep the breakage down. by the way i have been taking biotin 500mcg no issues and hope none come up. Thks
I have been using 100% Biotin (5000 mcg) for 4 months and I haven't had ANY breakouts!! In fact, 100% Biotin promotes healthy, hair, skin, and nails, so I really don't know what caused your breakouts, but Biotin is supposed to be good for the skin, not harmful.
@onlylegit01 It was the Bioton. For some people it doesnt matter, but Bioton is a water based pill and for many people if you dont drink enough water it will dry out your skin and make you break out. Maybe you retain water or something.
i just started using GNC nourishhair and it has 1600 mcg of biotin and all other vitamins and minerals. i hope it works after cutting off all my hair because it was damaged. im aiming for waiste length
Thank you now I know why I have a few spots..just started taking biotin and spots started coming out, didn't understand why until now because I don't get spots normally. lol thanks
@tongresa77 it's never too late to start growing your hair. Hair grows between 1/4-1/2 an inch per month- you may not be seeing growth due to the fact your end maybe breaking off at the same rate your hair is growing. Start creating a hair regimen when I first started my healthy hair journey my hair was supper short and now look at my my hair...
BIotin makes you break out mecause youre body is producing more hair and dead skin cells than usual so that is why u broke out it even says on the back of the cottle that severe break out are possible
how long did it take for your hair to grow that long? also, do you think that genetics play a part as to the length of your hair? I want to grow my hair as long as it'll grow, but at 33, it is not long:( any advice?
i think i have the same prob but im also taking bee pollen which is cleansing the skin from within, also taking liquid b vitamins, maxi hair supplement from country life (witch is great!!)and drinking lots of water
i agree with you with the biotin.. well i am from france and i think it s the same thing, i m taking vitamins and i had some bad pimples lol it has been almost 2 months i m taking.
i really love your hair!! mine is beneath the breast..but i m not satisfied even if one year ago it was at the shoulders i want at the hips...
thanks for ur advices and sorry for my english!! :)
you have to take Bcomplex with biotin , another thing taking biotin pills twice should suffice because you also get Biotin from meat and eggs so I think that caused excessive heat in the body which came out in the form of pimples .
WOW.....your hair is amazing!!!!! I noticed when I took Biotin vitamins I broke out in pimples as well, so I decided to stop taking them....that was last year......now I'm taking a lower dosage and taking two pills a week, so far so good!
Hi, if anyone has gone to the cosmeticdatabase they can find out if ingredients they use are toxic. Rather than googling, this is scientific data that tells you what is in the product from an objective standpoint. Many hair products and other products have toxic ingredients. Also, its possible that different people react differently to various allergens. Another issue is the dosage. Be careful not to overdo any vitamin or supplement or product. .
@Longhairdontcare2011 I said that I take biotin, I do but I take it about 5 times a week. The other thing is if you break out and you have normal to oily skin, you can use clean hands and pat 91% alcohol on areas that breakout and the bacteria will not be able to grow and cause acne. Don't rub it on, just pat it on with your fingers on oily or broken out areas. I've been doing that for 10 years and my skin has been clear that long.
I started taking biotin three yrs ago and I've never had a breakout. I take 1000 mcg. by Nature Made and I also take Centrum Multivitamins. It makes my hair grow rapidly with 1 problem, my scalp flakes so I have to wash my hair more, plus I moisturize with hair lotion am and pm. My skin and hair are better than ever. The effect didn't happen for 6 mos so keep taking it and take it w/o other vitamins in it.
@peacenjoyangels WORD! People need to also be concerned with what these vitamins can do to kidneys in large amounts. It's just hair. Don't rush the process by ingesting God-Awful things. The lady in the video says in order to grow a few more inches of hair (mind you, her hair is already down her back) she has things she doesn't even believe in to get waist lenght hair. I think sometimes people go too far. Yea, the hair is long, but at what cost down the line?? What about your skin? Your organs?
i stopped at the store today and pick up some biotin pills. I've been natural for 4 months and really want my hair to be ful and thick in a year. I also told my friend about it and like so many others turned her nose up. She showed me a tub of basically potroleum jelly that she used for long hair. Well I challanged her that my hair would be longer than hers with biotin than that grease she had...
your skin didnt look that bad to me lol everyone gets spots and pimples i thought you meant areas of your face were completely covered in them lol you must be lucky to naturally have clear and smooth skin =)
I have been taking biotin for 3 months, I found that in the beginning my skin did break out but as time went on, it cleared up. I just figured by body was getting rid of waste and the biotin has helped my skin and hair. Maybe if you stick to it you MAY have had a different experience.
Do u know what is ur hair type? I love your hair by the way!!! I am transitioning do u think it is necessary to do the bc? I am apl and 8 months post so iguess maybe longer but i dont wanna lose the length
@Longhairdontcare2011 hi i havent used it but i've seen from another biotin review that you have to drink a lot of water b/c breaking is one of biotin's side effects if you do not drink a lot of water
I love what you have done your transition to natrural hair and how long it is and the products you used. The products don't even cost much and how you just took it back to the basics
Biotin broke me out like crazy and I only took 1,000mg, but I learned that I should take it with a super B complex and vitamin E oil will get rid of the marks and bumps. And I have yet to experience a bump or marks since I started taking it with a super B complex and now I can take 3,000 mg just fine.
I was taking instant breakfast and my hair grew faster. There alot of vitamins and minerals in it. Raw carrots are good too. Natural foods an plenty of water is the best way to go. . Long hair dont care , my goodness, lol youre still trying to grow your hair its already very long.
When I used Biotin I combined it with Cod liver oil and vitamin E and my skin was really benefitting and my hair did grow. However, the product that gave me the best results was pre-natal vitamins (no I wasn't pregnant but I heard it helps your hair be healthy).
omg..tha same freakin thing happen to me..I wus takin the 3000mcg dosage and my forehead went pimple crazy..although I noticed my hair growing and a nice difference in my nails..it wus not worth the acne..sooo I am now trying the 1000mcg dosage..and up'd my water intake..I notice my skin has stop breakin out and started to clear...so I'll see how this goes!
@BrittneyChristina This happens because your body is getting use to it. I take two (morning, evening) of biotin everyday each 25000mg. Its really great, maybe your sensitive too it.
Hello, this is soflychik and I wanted to know how do you manage to keep your hair from drawing up when you wash it? Or tell me, do your hair even draw up into an afro when you wash it? If you have no chemicals in your hair how does it stay straight and not tangled? Please tell me what is your hair type for example 3a,3b,4a, etc. Thanks and look forward to hearing from you soon.
I was taking Biotin at 5,000 MCG. Sometimes I took one a day like it said, and sometimes I took two a day, but I never got any breakouts except for what was already there. But I also took hair skin and nails vitamins with Biotin and I also took Omega-3(fish oil) pills. So I don't know if the aid with the other pills helped prevent those pimples and breakouts.
hello, longhairdontcare2011! what hair type is your hair? do you have a picture of your mother because earlier in a video you said your mom is natural as well. i would love to see her hair as well. have you heard of the bodiphier and what do you think of that product. is it good by the looking at the ingredients or is it still chemicals? how's school going for you? well, i have to go now but please answer all of my questions. i truly enjoy all of your videos that you upload.
I noticed a lot of shedding when I was using Biotin(5mg) so i stopped using it but then I noticed dark spots on my face like I had had pimples.I was so engrossed in using the Biotin trying to get my hair to grow that I had started developing pimples and didn't even notice them until after they left their mark!
@ZenannM The biotin does help with what it says and I broke out also,but they eventually went away i only saw the 1000 mcg in target and walmart so I would take 4 a day 2 at a time. thats the only thing I dont like about them because I have to take more then 1 a day.I will be purchasing the 5000 mcg not to mention a take a multi vitamin once a day before bed.
Biotin gave me cystic acne something terrible. I was only taking 1000 mcg and I got these large, painful hard pimples on my face that were unsightly! I had to lower the dose to find that happy medium so that I could still get the benefits of Biotin. So now I'm at 500 mcg daily, and no acne problems whatsoever, and hair is still growing. Trying to get my hair to your length in the vid!
wat im was tryna to understand was it the biotin that broke you out? or a mask? or a biotin mask? i keep replaying the video but each time i do i jus feel lik an idiot for not catching on ;-/ lol
@Longhairdontcare2011 ahhh. when you take the biotin, you have to take it with a secondary suplplement. Most perfer a vitamin c, others use prenantal vitamins, or one a day. And because you are working with an increase in protein, you need to drink alot of water. Otherwise you WILL dehydrate and in terms break out. Topical biotin does not work, or havent been proven to work.
As I've stated previously..I do drink "alot" of water...it's 90% of what I drink, but you only know you're not drinking enough when you see a sign of that ie. breakout. I also take calcium as per my drs request. I don't take biotin any longer nor am i interested in making it work for me. I tried it and didn't like it.
I dont know anything about topical biotin...your orig question of how i took it made me reply that i ingested it.
@TheHyphyBitch yeah i was like what is she talking about?? Biotin is actually surpose to make your skin better quality just like how it helps ur nails and hair : )
@Longhairdontcare2011 I surpose so, but did your hair grow at all??? like how much did your hair grow while you where on the biotin? can you tell me pls?
I just wanted to say it takes a several weeks for you to see any difference. First difference I saw was in my nails and skin. I take the 5,000 mg and they do not affect me. It may be the dosage you take is probably too much for you.
ok thx so much. I bought a hair dryer today and I tried blowdrying my hair. It stretched out a little and then I twisted it. I like it. Looks like I will be heat training b/c the longer my hair gets the more knots I get on my hair. Thanks for the quick response
My hair is starting to break on the ends from some damage that occurred in a salon a whileback. The ends have held on for a while but starting to give me the heads up that they can no longer hold on lol. I have been cutting split ends as I see them, MOISTURIZING my ends every other day (but not the rest of my hair b/c it doesn't need it) and I will trim my hair when I straighten it.
@MsBhammond Overtime the hair will thicken out again. You can't repair damaged hair unfortunately, but if you're looking to buy some time look into a deep conditioner. When I find a deep conditioner that I love I will sugg one :)
I take biotin religiously, but you have to take a super b complex and drink a lot of water. when i first took them and had break outs i used a vitamin e softgel and used the oil inside the pill to put on the dark marks. Then i started using the b complex and got my water and and so far no break outs at all I take (3mg)
Just a fyi though...depending on how extensive the damage you just may need to cut a good amt off and do better the 2nd time around..hard to say without seeing your hair.
@julieangel09 does this stuff really works??? I had long hair and cut it and now I'm regreting it and would like to get it long again but don't ant to wait 4 years like last time.any tips and advice will be greatly appreciated.

To prevent breakouts while using Biotin You should take another B vitamin with it , and drink alot of water. I've been using Biotin for a Month or so. (3-5mg) But not religously. I didnt notice a bit of ane until I stopped Drinking Water.
I wasn't asking for regimen advice. I am well aware that my hair grows. Everyone without a specific problem that interferes with growth should have growing hair. I have a regimen, but thanks.
baby black folk can not do chemical peels! I went to a cosmetic surgeon for surgical scar removal and he stated that I could not as a woman of color to not take chemical or laser peels. Use lemon as an astringent to gently bleach your scars and exfoliate your skin with buffing puff to stimulate skin healing and remove dead skin.
I know lol. It was actually a contraindication but I decided to test my luck, that's why I didn't suggest it to anyone. I truly appreciate it though <3
I think I will go back to lemons though. Thank you :)
I've been using biotin (5,00mcg) per day for over a year now without any problems, however I'm not acne prone and I have very dry skin so that may have something to do with my success with biotin. People should keep in mind that biotin is a natural supplement not a hair growth "miracle pill" it does not increase the rate of growth it just strenghthens the root and increases hair thickness (diameter of each strand) over time. Biotin has improved the fullness of my hair/decreased shedding.
i usually take 1000mcg of biotin if u consume more than that within 3hrs ur skin will start peeling and u should take 3000mcg gradually thru ur day...
I drink 1 1/2 gallons of water everyday. Not because of Biotin though, just becuase I always have. Biotin doesn't make me break out. I'm sure this is why
If you take the biotin, you must drink plenty of water. If you don't, then you will have the breakouts. So, try increasing your water intake. I have been taking it and I have not had any breakouts so far.
I do drink "plenty" of water. Problem is, there is no exact measurement of what exactly "plenty" is. Is it 1/4 gallon, 1/3, 1/2 gallon, 1 gallon..see my point.
It is hard to gauge what amount of water is enough for each individual;however as stated I am done with biotin.
Woah that's some serious length, you must feel really accomplished ! I want to grow my hair too ... I'm tired of wearing weave and such. Just wondering, how long did it take you to grow you hair that long & what did you do ?
My skin initially broke out from the biotin though. The KBB stuff is great. I have the cream, butter and oils from her, but no poos conditioners or leave in.
That sucks that biotin did that to you! It hasn't happened to me or the people who've made reviews on it that I've seen, well of course besides you. I guess it just goes to show you should be careful with supplements and vitamins.

@tongresa77 it's never too late to start growing your hair. Hair grows between 1/4-1/2 an inch per month- you may not be seeing growth due to the fact your end maybe breaking off at the same rate your hair is growing. Start creating a hair regimen when I first started my healthy hair journey my hair was supper short and now look at my my hair...

BIotin makes you break out mecause youre body is producing more hair and dead skin cells than usual so that is why u broke out it even says on the back of the cottle that severe break out are possible

you have to take Bcomplex with biotin , another thing taking biotin pills twice should suffice because you also get Biotin from meat and eggs so I think that caused excessive heat in the body which came out in the form of pimples .

Hi, if anyone has gone to the cosmeticdatabase they can find out if ingredients they use are toxic. Rather than googling, this is scientific data that tells you what is in the product from an objective standpoint. Many hair products and other products have toxic ingredients. Also, its possible that different people react differently to various allergens. Another issue is the dosage. Be careful not to overdo any vitamin or supplement or product. .

@Longhairdontcare2011 I said that I take biotin, I do but I take it about 5 times a week. The other thing is if you break out and you have normal to oily skin, you can use clean hands and pat 91% alcohol on areas that breakout and the bacteria will not be able to grow and cause acne. Don't rub it on, just pat it on with your fingers on oily or broken out areas. I've been doing that for 10 years and my skin has been clear that long.

I started taking biotin three yrs ago and I've never had a breakout. I take 1000 mcg. by Nature Made and I also take Centrum Multivitamins. It makes my hair grow rapidly with 1 problem, my scalp flakes so I have to wash my hair more, plus I moisturize with hair lotion am and pm. My skin and hair are better than ever. The effect didn't happen for 6 mos so keep taking it and take it w/o other vitamins in it.

@peacenjoyangels WORD! People need to also be concerned with what these vitamins can do to kidneys in large amounts. It's just hair. Don't rush the process by ingesting God-Awful things. The lady in the video says in order to grow a few more inches of hair (mind you, her hair is already down her back) she has things she doesn't even believe in to get waist lenght hair. I think sometimes people go too far. Yea, the hair is long, but at what cost down the line?? What about your skin? Your organs?

Biotin broke me out like crazy and I only took 1,000mg, but I learned that I should take it with a super B complex and vitamin E oil will get rid of the marks and bumps.

Hello, this is soflychik and I wanted to know how do you manage to keep your hair from drawing up when you wash it? Or tell me, do your hair even draw up into an afro when you wash it? If you have no chemicals in your hair how does it stay straight and not tangled? Please tell me what is your hair type for example 3a,3b,4a, etc. Thanks and look forward to hearing from you soon.

I was taking Biotin at 5,000 MCG. Sometimes I took one a day like it said, and sometimes I took two a day, but I never got any breakouts except for what was already there. But I also took hair skin and nails vitamins with Biotin and I also took Omega-3(fish oil) pills. So I don't know if the aid with the other pills helped prevent those pimples and breakouts.

the internal ingestion of biotin made my skin break out...It was a very high dosage though.
Longhairdontcare2011 1 year ago
@Longhairdontcare2011 ahhh. when you take the biotin, you have to take it with a secondary suplplement. Most perfer a vitamin c, others use prenantal vitamins, or one a day. And because you are working with an increase in protein, you need to drink alot of water. Otherwise you WILL dehydrate and in terms break out. Topical biotin does not work, or havent been proven to work.
misstootsie123 1 year ago
@misstootsie123
As I've stated previously..I do drink "alot" of water...it's 90% of what I drink, but you only know you're not drinking enough when you see a sign of that ie. breakout. I also take calcium as per my drs request. I don't take biotin any longer nor am i interested in making it work for me. I tried it and didn't like it.
I dont know anything about topical biotin...your orig question of how i took it made me reply that i ingested it.

I take biotin religiously, but you have to take a super b complex and drink a lot of water. when i first took them and had break outs i used a vitamin e softgel and used the oil inside the pill to put on the dark marks. Then i started using the b complex and got my water and and so far no break outs at all I take (3mg)

Use lemon as an astringent to gently bleach your scars and exfoliate your skin with buffing puff to stimulate skin healing and remove dead skin.

I've been using biotin (5,00mcg) per day for over a year now without any problems, however I'm not acne prone and I have very dry skin so that may have something to do with my success with biotin. People should keep in mind that biotin is a natural supplement not a hair growth "miracle pill" it does not increase the rate of growth it just strenghthens the root and increases hair thickness (diameter of each strand) over time. Biotin has improved the fullness of my hair/decreased shedding.

If you take the biotin, you must drink plenty of water. If you don't, then you will have the breakouts. So, try increasing your water intake. I have been taking it and I have not had any breakouts so far.

I do drink "plenty" of water. Problem is, there is no exact measurement of what exactly "plenty" is. Is it 1/4 gallon, 1/3, 1/2 gallon, 1 gallon..see my point.
It is hard to gauge what amount of water is enough for each individual;however as stated I am done with biotin.
