Great stuff for any hair type!
Typically when you think of Biotin you think of products that require you to have very thin (or thinning hair) or at least that is what I always thought. I tried this product because even though I have a lot of hair it is fine and I heard biotin might aid in the strength and vitality of the hair follicles. I have to say that I have loved this product! I even got my mom using it and my best friend.
I have tried other products of this line as well and have similarly enjoyed the results! Try them!

Good but try a balanced B-complex
This product is good but after purchasing it I did some research and found that it is better to have a more balanced b complex because the b-vitamins work together. I feel better when I am taking the Balanced B-50 Complex which is also made by Nature Made.

Good price good results
My nails have always been ridged weak and brittle. They practically melt in water (and I swim daily). I noticed an improvement to my cuticles and nails within weeks. Three months later they look great. The hangnails and chewed look is gone. I keep my nails short by choice but they are much stronger and look professional and neat. I'm very pleased with this product.
The $17.27 for a 3 month supply is the best price I found for 2.5 mg (2500 mcg). I noticed a `buy one get one free' sale this past week at Walgreen's but the starting price for the Appearex was $25 for a one month supply. Not good. Other biotin products I've seen are not the 2.5 mg daily requirement for nail improvement (mostly $5-$10 for 500 or 1000) mcg so once you multiply to get the daily requirement they cost much more as well.
There's a bonus to the biotin. In addition to the nail-skin-hair improvements it also seems to boost metabolism. I've been more energetic and sleeping more soundly at night. ~$6 a month is a good deal and this is a reliable and conveniently packaged product. I'll be buying a year's supply next time.

Working well after just 2 1/2 weeks
I've only been taking these Biotin supplements for 2 1/2 weeks but I can already tell a difference. The last year or so I've noticed that my hair is thinning in the front and it's gotten worse the last few months as I've started perimenopause. I've also had two nails that are splitting/peeling and I haven't been able to grow them out or do anything to stop the splitting. I bought the Biotin to help with these two problems and so far it's already making a difference.
While it's still too soon to notice any difference in the thickness of my hair my splitting/peeling nails have already grown out to the point where they are no longer splitting. In fact the top layer of the nail that was separating from the rest of the nail seems to be more "fused" in place. My nails also feel harder and stronger and almost brighter.
Additionally I've also noticed that both my eyelashes and my eyebrows have gotten longer. When I was curling my eyelashes the other day they came past the place on the eyelash curler where they usually end; I've also had to tweeze my brows a bit more.
At this rate I'm very happy with this product since it has had noticeable results. Like I said I haven't noticed too much difference in the front of my hair but I know that that is because it is still early in the process and it can take several months to have noticeable hair growth.
It sort of snuck up on me too how quickly this was working. The other day I glanced down and was surprised to see that my nail was no longer splitting. I wasn't expecting such quick results and was pleasantly surprised. Since I have seen results with my nails eyelashes and eyebrows however I know that this is working already and I can't wait to see continued results with my hair.
UPDATE ON 3/2/10: I've been taking these Biotin tablets now for about two months and notice a definite difference in my hair and nails. The front of my hair has started filling in and my hair is much thicker in those places where I had noticed some hair loss. My nails are also growing really quickly and they are strong with no more cracking or peeling.
