Common questions
How fast does hair grow?
About half an inch (1.25 cm) per month on average, or roughly 6 inches a year. Genetics, age, and health shift the rate.
Can I make my hair grow faster?
You cannot speed up the follicle much, but good nutrition, gentle handling, and trimming split ends help you keep the length you do grow.
