I have been a Biotin junkie, biotin pills, biotin shampoo and conditioner. My hair loss is so bad I am getting it cut short, short tomorrow.

I think biotin helps the hair that is growing in be stronger.  I don't think it does anything for the hair you already have which is falling out.  Also remember that while biotin encourages hair growth on your head, it also encourages hair growth on the rest of your body.

I'm almost 5 months out.  I'm want to take a look at the nioxin shampoo line and see how it is supposed to help.

Anyway, we are told your hair will start to fall out at 3-4 months out, continue falling out for 3-4 months and start to regrow in the next 3-4 months.

Just in the last week this is starting to worry me.  I have a lot of hair, but I'm losing a lot too!  I just started taking Biotin and didn't think about it causing hair growth everywhere else!  I hope this doesn't last too long.  I barely get my protein in and have been working harder at that.  I might add back in another protein shake until I can manage the hair.

I have a family reunion in a week and want to color my hair.. I am still losing hair..
How long should I wait or do I risk covering the grey??

coloring your hair doesnt risk hair loss, I checked with my hair lady before she colored it, go ahead and color
