I appreciate your input. If it gets too bad, I guess I can always pull a "Britney Spears" Thanks and I'll let you know how it goes.

But I have to admit that I sat through a whole hour of Toni Brattin on HSN and watched her different hair pieces thinking well at least there is an option lolol. Good luck! Felicia

Rebecca, I know how you feel. I was having my hair fall out so bad that it clogged the tub drain. My hair is thick and it was pretty long. I could not stand to have it falling out like that everytime I took a shower. I actually hated getting in the shower because it was sooo depressing. One of my problems was the fact the I got it highlighted last summer and every since then it would tangle up so bad when I would wa**** I started letting it go about 2 days in between washing thinking I was washing it too much. I then decided to cut the stuff off. Best thing I ever did. It no longer tangles anymore and is not all over me when I take a shower. I work hard at getting in the protein that I need everyday and I started taking the Biotin 5000mg at day. LOL, don't know if that is too much but I know that my hair has slowed down falling out and my skin really has improved. As far as my nails...well, I am a nail biter so don't see much happening there but man does my toenails grow like wildfire now. I wish I could get my fingernails to do that if I could keep them out of my mouth. I have tried all kinds of stuff to stop biting them but nothing works for me. Does anyone have any suggestions??? I have never had pretty hands or nails. I would like to have a nice set of them both but this is what my mom and God gave me. I have hands just like dear ole mom. Good luck! Lisa S

Hey Lisa. I got the 5000 mcg too. It says water-soluble so I guess I can put it in my drinks. I could use some help with my nails too. I type a lot at work so they've never really wanted to grow. Thanks for the info. Rebecca.

I have very fine and not alot of it hair. I think I have finally stopped losing tons of my hiar. I did cut it shorter to help reduce the stress of it on my scalp. I also got some Nioxin Shampoo and conditioner. Luckily, my directors daughter is a hair stylist and she was able to get me some at a Beauty Supply store at about 1/3 the cost. I have noticed a difference since I started to use it. My hair actually feels thicker. I remember when it was the fashion to cut off all hair to get it to thicken up. I spent my younger years with the pixie hair cut as a result. I never did get thicker hair. I am also trying to wash my hair every other day. I have washed it daily all my life. This is new to me. I do think it is helping. Best of luck. Aime

I have been thinking about getting mine cut too. I'm use to long hair and you know how scary it can be going short. I do wash my hair every other day and always have. I don't think I could go more than 2 days. Thanks for responding. Rebecca
