You can speed up hair growth. The average hair growth rate is surprisingly slow: a half millimeter per day, a half inch per month and 6 inches per year. Yet, there are actions you can take to accelerate your hair growth rate.
For example, Asian hair grows the fastest, while African hair grows the slowest. The average hair growth rate of Asian female participants was nearly 6 inches per year. Comparatively, African female participants' hair grew 4 inches (10 cm) per year, while Caucasian female participants' hair grew a little more than 5 inches (13 cm) per year. The hair growth rate of the male participants didn't significantly differ from that found for women.
