I'm dealing with some hair issues like hair fall, split ends, and slow hair growth. I'm thinking about trying biotin supplements, but I'm worried about whether they might have any side effects. Also, if it's okay to start taking them, could you suggest any specific brand that's good? I really want my hair to grow longer and healthier.
