Does Biotin Make Your Hair Grow? 2 SECRET ingredients REVEALED!

My hair gets to a length just below my shoulders and doesn’t seem to grow after that. It’s always been this way. In the 00’s I wore clip-in hair extensions… Since they didn’t really give me the locks, I used caffeine shampoo, argan oil, and massaged my scalp for 10 minutes every day. 

This didn’t work either. 

Searching for supplements for hair growth online, I came across biotin. Does biotin make your hair grow? 

Let’s find out.

First off, what is biotin? 

Biotin, or B7 is needed to help the body make fatty acids. The bacteria in the bowel make biotin, it’s also found in foods at low levels.

Does biotin really make your hair grow?

Most of the supplements for hair growth seem to have biotin in them. According to Google, there isn’t a huge amount of research into it working for hair. However, if that’s the case, why are so many companies making hair growth supplements and shampoos with biotin?

Other supplements and minerals are said to help hair growth, too. Maybe they need to be combined to have the full effect. We have combined our biotin supplements with copper and zinc as these ingredients also may have a positive effect on hair growth. 

Zinc for hair growth 

According to studies, low levels of zinc in the serum and hair may be connected to hair loss. As zinc is involved in cell growth, it may help hair growth, too. Our biotin supplements contain the daily dose of zinc for an average woman. 

Zinc is pretty essential to the body, so getting your daily dose with your biotin is a huge bonus (plus money saver!) 

Copper for hair growth

Copper is another mineral that may help hair growth, along with biotin. The copper peptides may increase blood circulation, which can help hair follicles receive more oxygen and nutrients, contributing to their growth. Copper also supports hair pigmentation and colour. So not only is my hair going to grow, it will hold its colour, too. You don’t need too much copper, but there is the perfect amount in our biotin tablets. 

Maybe biotin alone won’t be the golden ticket to my luscious locks; maybe it’s a blend of three key minerals that will leave me looking like Rapunzal.  

I try to get these minerals from foods. However, with a busy life at home and work, it’s not always easy.

SHOP BIOTIN + COPPER AND ZINC ON AMAZON >> 

Here are a few ways to get biotin, zinc, and copper from the fridge.

• Oats
• Cashew nuts
• Dried fruits
• Avocado

While I eat most of the foods in the list above (no organs, though), I thought I’d try a biotin supplement to see if it really makes hair grow. 

Here’s what I found after one month of using Biotin

My hair felt more voluminous, and shiny. It looked healthier. It seemed to grow! 

It’s not given me 30 cm 00’s extensions. However, my hair is certainly looking healthier, and my nails are, too. 

I also noticed my eyelashes felt fuller and longer, as they are hair, I guess this makes sense! 

Over all while I was wondering does biotin make your hair grow, I think I can safely confirm that for me, it has!
