If you have hair/skin/nail issues you should try this. 26 Feb 2011

My hair is a mess. Thyroid meds, flat ironing all but destroyed it. I've started taking Biosil and it might seem crazy but already I have a bunch of hair coming in at the hairline after 1 week. I'm going to come back here and post again in a few months. Wish me luck!

p.s. my nails peel and break so lets see if this helps.

***

One Month In. Okay this is turning into a blog of sorts. Changes?

* I've noticed the hair around my hairline looks thicker and darker. I think it's looking darker because of it becoming thicker.

* Fast growth. Possibly. I'm keeping track of a section of my hair and it's between 1/2 to maybe 3/4 of an inch. It will be more obvious next month.

* Nails - growing faster, definitely. I'm having to file them... As for stronger I think it's too soon to tell as the new growth hasn't made it to the end of the tips

* Skin - YES! there is a difference. Husband and a girlfriend who is honest both say it's looking better. It feels softer and after using a bunch of products on it for the past 3 years cause I'm getting older I have to say I've cut back to this, a hydrating face cream and occasionally Ret A. for discoloration and outbreaks. I like the way it feels most of all. Moist.

Be back next month.

***

9 weeks in

The nails are no longer peeling but they are still snapping. I'm happy with how they are as it's an improvement.

The hair:

* Not growing fast but I think there is new growth around the hairline which is getting longer.

* I think it's looking thicker

* when I pull it into a ponytail it does feel a bit thicker at the base.

* the hair loss rate with biotin is I think less and my husband said it looks thicker at the hairline.

The Skin:

* I've been rather tired lately but I do believe the fine wrinkles are looking better. The serious frown line I have needs more botox which really makes a difference.

April 30th 2011

* I think this works. For the skin, yes the difference is there. It wont make you wrinkle free but just reduce what you have and hopefully make the skin look fresher.

* Hair. Still to soon to tell but the hair feels thicker when I pull it into a ponytail. Could be my imagination. It's looks thicker in the first 1 to 1 1/2 inches around the hairline now. In another 4 months I'll know if this really works on the hair.

* nails, still snapping off but the best they have been in over 12 months.

What I'm taking as well as this

* Biotin
* Fish Oil (New Chapter)
* Calcium (New Chapter)

good luck everyone.

To tell you the truth. Even if I only saw at most a 5% improvement in the quality and quanitity of my hair I'd buy it. I love longer hair and I hope that this will allow me to grow better quality hair.

May 14th 2011

Nails - DEFINITE IMPROVEMENT

I now have the longest and strongest nails in years. No more peeling and evening the snapping has tapered off. Since I know how fast nails grow from root to tip and since once the nail is outside of the nail bed is it essentially dead then this makes sense that it has taken so long to achieve the stronger, longer nails.

Okay this is going to sound strange but I think I might need to get a manicure every two weeks if this keeps up as I hate shaping nails. Never had to before.

Hair - Improvement

There is more hair everywhere and up to about 1.5 inches/2 inches of new growth all over, maybe more. It feels like it's suddenly growing longer and I can see that if this keeps up I will actually have the thicker, stronger hair I've been dreaming about since the thyroid meds destroyed the quality. A light at the end of the tunnel. As I said before in this blog it's going to take at least a year or more for the old damaged hair to be cut out (while still keeping the length) and the new to really show me if this has done the amazing job I think it has.

I'll log back here in August or a bit before and post about how it's going.

p.s. My husband is amazed at how youthful I'm looking. He said it's like I took 5 to 7 years off my age.

June 7th, 2011

I washed my hair at the gym and noticed that all over my head there is this weird hair. It's about 2 inches long. I mean we grow new hair all the time but this is a whole bunch of extra hair all over about 2 inches long. I do believe it's working! Week 16 now according to my google calendar on biosil, biotin and evening primrose oil. My nails are so long I've had to adjust my typing style.

Hair: 2 inches of growth all over. My own hair is about 4 inches past my shoulders so this is going to take a year or so before I see just how thick it will feel. Already the base of my pony tail does feel better. Husband is commenting it looks 'thick' the overall effect. I pulled out a grey hair and the base was way thicker than the end of it - the length of this grey was about 3 inches.

I'm taking 10 drops twice a day btw. Double the recommended does but no side effects.

Skin

It looks fabulous for a woman in her mid 40's. Very happy. The creams I put on seem to work better.

Nails - well as said above it's insane, from a woman who could never grow them to people making comments. They are not super strong but strong for me. No more peeling, hardly snapping.

pdate August 26th, 2011

It's getting harder to remember to take it twice a day. Sometimes I miss one but I figure that's okay.

Nails - have to file them every couple of days because of chips and length issues. Never had those before because they peeled. Nails I've discovered are hard work and I'm thinking of just getting a manicure once a week to file them down and keep them in shape.

Hair - I think it's growing fast. Had another inch cut off last week. Here's the thing. I had a TON of shedding before I started this. That hair doesn't suddenly come back. Everything I've read has said Biotin is best for stopping the shedding (I'm on that as well) and Biosil for hair thickness and if it's doing to my hair shafts what it's doing to my nails then the layers on the hair shaft must be strong, tighter and thicker.

Nails are made up of layers and the cutical on the hair shaft is as well. IF you have peeling nails like I did then the cuticle on the hair shaft will also be weak and prone to lifting. The tighter, harder and thicker these cuticles are on the hair shaft the more it can take, the more it will shine. If you're not sure what I'm talking about then google "Hair shaft and heat damage". It will show up close the cuticle on the shaft. You want that to stay healthy, flat and tight.

Because my hair is still down to about my bra strap it's going to be 1 to 2 years before what's been growing on my head is down there.

The hair on my hair appears thicker and you can't see through it. The base of my braid is thicker. The ends which are pre Biosil and Biotin are frayed and a bit ratty. I should just cut it all off to the tops of my shoulders. I'm thinking about it. That way I'll see the full results sooner.

Skin. Still feels good and I think it's still doing well for my age but you know, when you're not that many years off 50 you appreciate any positive change lol.

October 2011 - 8 months in.

Nails

My nails snapped when I flew out to Australia to visit family. I was rushing, the bags where heavy the flight very drying. What's happening.

I've noticed that my nails have weak areas and strong areas. The improvement is there and they do grow long now (yay) but sometimes they are more prone to snapping. Was this because I forget to take my biosil and biotin? Not sure.

Skin.
Visited my sister and she said she spotted the fact I had botox right off the bat when I got off the plane. BUT she thought I had it around my eyes as I had way less crows feet than she did. She is my younger sister. Also I noticed that the back of her hands that the skin was thinning and dry compared to mine. It might just be we are different but I'd like to think the biosil and biotin I've been taken have added to my collagen and that's why me, the older sister, is holding up okay. Oh, biosil has NOT gotten rid of the bags under my eyes lol.

Hair

My new hair feels smoother. I have joined the "Long Hair Community" boards. I HIGHLY recommend them for anyone wanting to grow their hair long and in the best condition. I'm sure it's a combination of the biosil and learning how to treat my hair but I'm having good hair days now. This is an improvement! What I do:

* Satin pillow slip (available here on amazon)
* No sulfate shampoo or silcone in it
* I put conditioner from the ears down then shampoo just the roots. I stretch the days out.
* I condition the entire length after I shampoo
* Shea butter is my friend for my skin, nails and hair. I get an organic locally made one with lavender in it.
* Braid my hair to sleep.
* No blowdrying or any heat products.
* Finger comb hair in shower and after. Then use wide toothed comb. Keeping brushing to a min.

Okay, I'm obsessed! What I hope to achieve is longer hair in the best condition possible.

Good luck to everyone.

Update April 2012

* I was spotty with taking this supplement after about Sept 2011. But I kept taking my biotin which I think helped.

Okay so we are now about 1 1/2 years into this experiment. I was told by a woman who is a skin specialist that she thought I had very good skin for my age. My boss and I are the same age and she has a ton of lines. That is genetic in part for both of us but I do think Biosil helped me with fine lines. NOTHING is going to stop aging except death lol but this might give you a 10% boost on top of what you can achieve with just good genes.

My current hair routine:

* satin pillow slip
* tangle teaser brush (love it for the feel on the scalp)
* Mostly wide tooth comb out my hair, never brush when wet
* Conditioner only washes sometimes if it's getting frizzy. The way to make this work is use a sulfate free cond. like Loreal or Aussie 3 minute miracle. Put it on your hair 20 min to 30 min before washing. THIS gets rid of the buildup in the hair and makes it super soft. If you just use cond. only in the shower it doesn't have time to clean the hair.
* A few drops of oil. No more than 4 when it's feeling dry after washing it.
* I blow dry it if I'm going out somewhere special but not on high heat.

My hair. The first 6 plus inches feels good but the hair in places is so fine. This is new. INFO. Hormones in women during their 40's can effect hair. I think this is my current problem. Yes, the biosil helped here but what I think mightmake more of a different is Monistat cream rubbed in once a day. WHY? you ask thinking I'm losing it. Look at this [...] If this link doesn't work then go to you tube and search for "Vaginal cream monistat 7 grow hair?(does it work?)" It might work because it effects the hormone receptors in the air folicle. The hormones which make men lose hair and women to have shrinking folicles is the same. Testosterone effects hair. I'm hoping the monistat cream will do this for me:

* Turn off the hormones effecting my hair as I'm hitting my mid 40's. This might, might increase the diameter of my hair shaft. I have pulled out hair that is 18 inches long and you can see that my hair shaft is thinning. This experiement in hair started 3 weeks ago and I'll keep you posted.

Remember. ANY changes you make to your hair routine, biosil, biotin, not using heat or even monistat will take a min. of 3 months but more likely 6 to 12 months before you see a difference.

I'm in this for the long haul. Biosil and biotin have given me lovely nails, nicer skin and hopefully better hair. Only 7 plus inches of biosil and biotin hair have grown in so it's still too early to tell how this will all work out. But I have now a bunch of hair on my head and since I started using the Monistat, I've stopped a bunch of hair. My ponytail circumference has gone from 2.25 to 2 .75 inches. That's 1/2 an inch gain in thickness near my scalp.

Terrific product! 8 April 2009
By Salliezoo - Published on Amazon.com
This product is a miracle. My hair had been falling out in gobs and I tried everything on the market to stop it. I am a woman and had horrible nightmares about waking up one morning and being as bald as my husband (some men look good bald, but for a woman, it's definitely not pretty!) I went to dermatologists and internists, but the cause was never resolved. I tried Rogaine for women, then rogaine for men (which did help a bit), special shampoos, change of diet, massive doses of vitamins...but still woke with more hair on my pillow than on my head. My current dermatologist suggested trying Biosil and/or Biotin. I took both. The results were amazing. The fallout ceased within a few weeks. I was thrilled! Later, I thought I might try going off the biosil/biotin to see if it might have been a temporary ailment caused by stress, diet, or just bad luck. Big mistake... the fallout came right back. So I will likely stay on the biotin/biosil combo forever. I don't want to take any chances...its not worth the trauma being bald. It takes a few weeks to get in your system so start as soon as you notice any unusual hair loss. And as a side benefit, my nails have grown longer for the first time in my life.. and my skin actually looks better too. Unexpected benefits. I do believe the liquid formula is absorbed faster than the capsules and is much cheaper in the long term. But the capsules are good for traveling and definitely more convenient. Be warned...the liquid does taste awful, but now I take it with mango juice and can't taste it at all. Try your favorite heavily flavored cold beverage. Experiment. Biosil is definitely worth a try if you find yourself with a hair loss problem. Highly recommend this product and the Biotin as well. Do go to a doctor first, as there may be another underlying cause that you may want to eliminate first. Good luck!

It Works! 18 Jan 2010
By Athena - Published on Amazon.com
My sister started taking this about a year ago and since I see her infrequently I could not believe the difference in her hair! She had a beautiful head of hair that was thick. It looked like a lion's mane(OK, maybe she needed a hair cut) but her hair used to be so thin she needed hair extensions to give the illusion of thickness!! So of course I started taking it immediately. It takes about 3-4 months to see a difference but it is significant. It seems that my actual strands of hair are thicker and I definitely have more hair and I find only about 10% of what I used to in the shower drain! It takes 10 minutes to dry my hair instead of 3 minutes and it is alot more fun to have thick bouncy hair. Now, the only thing is, she told me to take 10-20 drops a day(I put them in empty vitamin capsules.) The product label has a 6 drops a day.
Of course I have told my friends and can't wait to see the results...She also said that the Natrol brand of biosil is the best but there are others out there. I have had such good results with this one that I am nervous to try any others. Try it, but make sure you stick with it long enough to get results, and have fun with your "new head of hair"
