I'm glad I'm taking the 5000mcg once a day - makes me almost want to increase it just a little bit to see if it makes a difference even more. 

 Heck, I'll be a guinea pig  lol

I take a 1000mcg sublingual Biotin daily.  My hair is falling out, but I have super thick hair, so it's not going to be as noticeable.  It is thinning out quite a bit though.  I wi**** would get straighter as it thins..but no such luck.

Ashley, I've read that many who have gone through this......that when their hair grows back, it grows back curly???  Who knows, if that's true.  Mine is already wavy, so I don't know if they mean, curly curly or just wavier??  Of course, I realize it is probably not the same for everyone.  Hopefully, it'll work in your favor  :-)

I used to have super straight thick hair when I was little.  But when I got past the age where mommy would blow dry my hair every time it was washed I got lazy and let it air dry  I also wore it up all the time..so it's got a permanent pony tail lump and fly aways all over the place.  I don't like to put gunk in my hair, so I don't know if I'll ever get the sleek straight look I used to have!

I have taken biotin since I was able to swallow the capsules...its been over 3 years.  I take one 5000mcg capsule 2X daily.  It didn't really seem to help the hair falling out, still does if my protein is too low, even after 3 years.  But, it does help with keeping your hair healthy, thicker, shinier, etc.  My stylist is always talking about "my secret".  She has stick straight baby fine hair.  She takes it now and her hair appears much fuller, holds color better and is much easier to style...she was amazed.  If I can amaze the stylist, why ruin a good thing.
