taking biotin

Starting in February I started taking 835 mcg of biotin/day. Regrettably in the name of science, I forget to measure my hair, or do anything that might make my experiment remotely scientific. In fact, I wasn't too fastidious about taking every dose either. However, I have been surprised how fast my hair has grown. My hair isn't thicker, healthier, or better - it just grows quicker. Really quick. The back of my scalp seems to grow the fastest.
I wish I had known about biotin when I was stuck in the awkward hair stage. Taking a few weeks off that dreaded stage would have been a blessing. To anyone ramping up for growing out their hair, biotin might be a help.
