How fast does hair grow?
Before you start learning how to make hair grow faster, it’s helpful to first figure out how quickly it naturally grows so we can understand what to expect.
According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, scalp hair grows an average of 1cm per month. This means the average person can expect to grow between 4-5 inches of hair per year.
The speed at which your hair grows depends on both genetics and the shape of your follicles – Asian hair is on average the thickest and most coarse hair compared to Caucasian and African hair.
1cm of hair growth a month sounds like a fair amount… so why does it never feel like it? Well, things like over-styling, a bad diet, and not taking good care of your hair can result in split ends and breakages which shorten the length of your hair.
