Human hair grows 15 cm per year

Did you know that human hair grows about 15 cm per year?

Human hair grows on average about 15 centimeters per year or 0.4 to 0.5 mm per day. This is an average and can vary depending on various factors such as genetics, age, health, and hair care practices. The hair growth process occurs in cycles (Anagen, Catagen, and Telogen phases), each with its own characteristics, with the hair being in the Anagen phase (the growth phase). This phase can range from two to six years, which causes the length of hair growth per year to differ. The speed of hair growth can also be influenced by diet, hormonal changes, and even the seasons.
