However, we do know that The Starry Night was not Vincent van Gogh's first attempt at painting the night's sky, and by comparing the work to the earlier painting Starry Night Over the Rhone, one is able to make several inferences about how van Gogh felt by this point of his life.
Hair grows about 1/2 inch per month. If the rest of the scalp hair is long, it may take months or years before a shaved area grows sufficiently to match the rest of the hair. After shaving, the hair growing back may appear to be thicker and coarser, because the shaving process removes the natural thin ends of the hair.
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.
