A member asked:
Dose biotin really help hair grow faster? what could be used to speed up hair growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try rogaine (minoxidil) instead: Biotin does not make hair grow faster. It is a vitamin that is good for skin, hair, and nails but it doesn't speed up hair growth. For that, you should try rogaine (minoxidil) 5% which is scientifically proven to stop hair loss and promote hair growth.
