I taken Biotin 1500mcg 3 times a day have since day one and still had the 100 days of hair loss. All you can do is wait it out and keep getting your protein in. Once that hair loss starts theres not much you can do other then keep doing what your suppose to and wait till it pass. I know its very hard to do I myself have extremely thick hair and am currently in the tail end of the hair loss phase it is extremely scary when your hair is just everywhere and its gross as well. I've been picking my hair out of everywhere the laundry, the vacumm, the tub, the car. I feel I shedded more then the family dog getting in its spring coat. It's horrible to go thru this stage is all I can tell you.
