What is Biotin, and why is it important for hair?

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is a water-soluble B-vitamin that plays a vital role in the body's energy metabolism. It is well known for contributing to the maintenance of normal hair, skin, and nails – making it an important part of your hair care routine. If your hair feels weak or looks dull, Biotin for hair may help support a healthier appearance.

Biotin and hair growth – does it work?

Biotin is often mentioned in relation to hair growth, but it's important to clarify that Biotin does not directly cause new hair to grow. Instead, it contributes to maintaining the health of your existing hair and scalp – helping to create the ideal conditions for your hair’s natural cycle.

Benefits of Biotin for hair

Incorporating Biotin into your hair care routine offers several benefits:

Who should use Biotin for hair care?

Biotin products are ideal for both men and women who experience dry, lifeless, or fragile hair. They’re also suitable for those with a dry scalp or anyone wanting to maintain healthy-looking hair. Biotin for hair works well across all hair types and can be used daily.

Biotin shampoo and conditioner from Australian Bodycare

Our Biotin Shampoo and Biotin Conditioner are designed to deliver gentle yet effective care.

How to see results with Biotin for hair

Like all hair care, Biotin takes time and consistency. While some users notice changes in shine and texture within the first week, the most visible improvements typically appear after several weeks of regular use. Biotin supports your hair’s natural strength and appearance over time.

Can you get too much Biotin? (Dosage, side effects and myths)

Biotin is considered safe when used in hair care products or supplements. However, very high doses of Biotin supplements may interfere with some lab tests. Always consult your doctor if you’re taking Biotin supplements and need bloodwork done. Side effects are rare but may include mild skin irritation or breakouts in sensitive individuals.

Biotin vs. Collagen – what’s better for hair loss?

Biotin and collagen are often compared, but they serve different functions. Biotin supports the maintenance of normal hair, while collagen contributes to skin elasticity and structure. Many people use both – for example, a biotin and collagen shampoo or supplement – to care for both hair and skin from within.

How to combine Biotin hair care with diet and supplements

To get the most out of Biotin for hair, consider combining your hair care routine with a Biotin-rich diet. Great sources of Biotin include eggs, nuts, seeds, avocado, and whole grains. You can also add a Biotin supplement such as Biotin tablets or Biotin gummies if your diet is lacking. Always follow recommended guidelines and talk to a health professional if needed.
