There was a biotin shampoo, available in health and vitamin stores,
that I used to use in the 1980's when I lived in Washington DC. It had
the most amazing, immediate thickening effect. Even guests would
comment on it when they used it. Do you know what that stuff was and
if it is still available? It was very clear and watery in its
consistantcy, not thick like
a typical shampoo. I look for it every time I go into health/vitamin
sections of stores in Portland, Or. and haven't seen it.

Hi ranger1,

  Biotin is also known as Vitamin H and appears to be one of the
Vitamin B complexes. Some shampoos contain biotin, which claims to
thicken and nourish hair, but there is not a large variety available.

Vitamin H, Biotin
http://www.answers.com/topic/biotin-1&method=6

?A colorless crystalline vitamin, C10H16N2O3S, of the vitamin B
complex, essential for the activity of many enzyme systems and found
in large quantities in liver, egg yolk, milk, and yeast.?

I?ve found several brands of biotin shampoo, and am hoping one of
these is the one you remember. Without a brand name, I can only guess.
However, after combing the internet, these are ALL I was able to brush
up! Packaging may have changed over the years, but perhaps one of
these names rings a bell for you! You may also consider checking
health food stores or organic food stores if none of these are the one
you seek.
