When to start Biotin?
I'm almost 4 weeks post-op and I'm now allowed to start swallowing my pills. I was wondering when you should start using the Biotin? I have very thin hair already and am anxious about the hair loss. I thought I would try the Biotin supplement. I know it may not prevent the hair loss but I figure it is worth a try. Even if it decreases it, I would be thrilled.  I've noticed that most people start noticing the hair loss at around 3 months out. Do you suggest I start taking Biotin before I notice the hair loss or do you start it when you notice that you are losing hair?
Just curious. I'm a little confused.
