Taking Biotin. Greasy Hair?

[kmbrlycool 214]

Had surgery 4-24-12 and down 65 pounds.

Any who's. Ive been taking Biotin regularly for the two months since surgery. About two weeks ago I noticed my hair was really greasy no matter how much or little I washed it or what I washed it with. About a week ago I stopped taking the Biotin and just today my hair seems to be coming more back to normal...

Do you think it was the biotin? I read online that biotin can cause acne...

Thanks

Congrats on your weight loss! I've been taking Biotin for a few months now and haven't noticed a change. Did you change anything else, like Shampoo or styling product?

Same Shampoo and conditioner.

I can tell you something that helps, regardless of the cause. Dousche your hair occasionally! By this I mean wash your hair with your regular Shampoo, rinse it out, pour a 32oz cup of vinegar and Water (equal parts) over your hair and scalp (don't get into eyes), rinse this out a little, wash with shampoo again then use your conditioner as normal. It gets any build up off and makes your hair feel good. I only do it about once every 2-3 months. But I don't use any styling products.

I'm on Biotin regularly and haven't noticed anything like that; in fact, since surgery, my hair seems a bit drier than before. Maybe it's the hot weather? I know in the past my scalp has been a lot sweatier in the summer... and I wash my hair every day and use just a little conditioner on the ends. And HI MGM--nice to see you!

Change in hormones combined with hotter weather is my guess (I am a licensed barber)...you need a good clarifying Shampoo added to your routine. Shampoo twice. Clarifying then Ur normal stuff then condition. Did u know that shampoo is designed to need to be used twice?? The first time it's applied it attaches to the dirt and debris and pulls it out when u rinse and the second time it actually cleanses because there isn't much dirt or debris getting in the way.

I have been taking Biotin since 4 weeks post op and my hair was really dry in the beginning. At around 6.5 months my hair started growing back and I stopped losing my hair too. Now, at 8 months my hair does get oily the next day. I use really expensive Shampoo and I really don't want to wash my hair twice so I'm happy with the way it's going now. My hair is growing really really fast too. Yayyyy!

How often you you all take your Biotin?

[Ms skinniness 3,003]

I take my Biotin daily. 10,000mcg. It works great. I also take silica too.

I didn't know that but I don't doubt you at all because I ALWAYS have to wash my hair twice! First time it isn't clean enough and the 2nd wash its perfectly clean!
