5.0 out of 5 stars Gives me squeaky clean (literally), thicker, stronger, better-looking hair, November 24, 2010

I've been using the Biotin shampoo for almost a year now and I found it to provide a thorough, gentle cleaning of my hair and scalp and, when used as directed, hair feels stronger, thicker and, of course, clean. I don't believe I will be getting back to my my previous brand (Nexxus Therape). While more expensive, the Biotin shampoo appears to be the best for my hair so far - for some background, I have a full head of hair but it's in the process of thinning and maybe my forehead advanced by half an inch in the past 10 years :) so I'm a lot more conscious of what washes my hair now than I was 10 years ago.

Biotin is part of the VitaTress line of products, designed for those whose hair is in the process of thinning. It is claimed that Biotin eliminates excess sebum, strengthens hair and adds thickness and body to it. I concur with these claims. When use as directed - massage into hair and scalp and let it stay there for THREE MINUTES before rinsing - the hair comes out literally 'squeaky clean'. It really squeaks if you rub your hand on your wet hair, or it does so for me. There is absolutely no feeling of discomfort while using the shampoo. Once the hair dries, it feels significantly stronger and thicker and it looks healthier and more alive than before the Biotin treatment. The other claim, that this shampoo slows or reverses hair loss I can't verify. Maybe I'll come back in a year or 2 and discuss share my findings but, as of now, all I can say is that my hair looks and feels better after I wash it with Biotin.

Additional facts worth sharing:

- A bottle this size is likely to last for many months so, while the price is high, it's not THAT high when spread over 4 to 6 months.
- While it's not stated anywhere, it seems to act as a conditioner. I would not use use a conditioner after Biotin myself.
- The 'pump' bottle is very convenient because it helps you get the proper amount without waste and it prevents water from the shower from diluting the contents.
- For what is worth, the ingredients include: Jojoba oil, Biotin, Cysteine, Inositol and Methionine plus DHT inhibitors.
- Other ingredients include: Ginseng root extract, Ginkgo Bilboa extract, Swertia Japonica extract, Palmaria Palmata extract and so forth.

I will continue to use Biotin until I am made aware of a superior product. Until then, I am happy with it.

My wife has really long hair that was badly damaged due to coloring and heating. I have thinning hair. We bought this, but I must mention that we use the humectress conditioner with it. Hair looks thicker and shinier in two weeks of use. I bought from Amazon and came in good shape. Will buy again. Will also update my hair falling/improvement process.

My wife uses the Nexus polymeric reconstructor, this shampoo, and humectress conditioner. She styles her hair using Chi thermal protector spray, and now after chronic dead, limp hair, she has gorgeous thick hair. We are also taking vitamins, all the B ones (extra), eating better quality organic home made food and Biosil orthosilic acid. Will report in a couple of months about our progress.

My wife's hair has recovered due to all these steps. We are in our 30's FYI.

I wash my hair every 2 days, and she does every week. Her hair is to her waist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best shampoo I've ever used, February 28, 2011

I cut my hair really short in November 2010 and it became thinner. I have had this shampoo but hadn't used it much. So I decided to give it a long-term try and after about 2 weeks of consistent use, I saw a huge difference in my hair. It was softer, shinier, easier to manage, and noticeably thicker. It has also helped my hair grow a lot (which is what the biotin is for---helps metabolism [hair growth included]) Since November, my hair has grown about 4 inches.

A tip I would recommend for anyone using this product is to lather it for 30 seconds to a minute, leave it in for 3-5 mins, wash with any temp water. Then apply any general brand of conditioner (i use garnier fructis) only to the tips of your hair (if you apply to the roots, it can clog your pores and defeat the purpose of the shampoo) then wash out the conditioner with cold (not warm or luke warm---COLD) water. It makes your hair so much softer and gradually eliminates and mends split ends (hot/warm water only make split ends worse due to the heat)

My hair has never grown so much in such a short period of time nor has it felt so soft or looked so shiny. I am exceptionally pleased with this product and recommend it to anyone who wants healthier, stronger, and longer hair!

I will continue to use this product for years to come! Definitely worth the price considering it last 4-6 months or even more.
