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.
However, basically the longer hair follicle, found on the scalp, has a longer growth period than pubic or armpit hair follicles. So the hair on the scalp is shed very slowly compared to the other regions. Compare this: Scalp hair is about 1 cm per month or 0.34 to 0.36 mm per day throughout life. Meanwhile, eyelash or brow growth at 0.16 mm per day in average. Beard hair at 0.38 mm/day. Once again, it depends on hormone. I shave my beard every three days, while my friend does it every day.
