1 cm is just a little less than half of an inch so, I'd say that's fine. A multi-vitamin or some biotin would probably help you get the full half inch though if you are interested. I think ppl average at 1/2 to a full inch a month.
The average growth rate per month is about 1/2". I think in some instances your overall health and diet may play a major role in your growth rate. It also depends on which growth cycle phase your in.
I copied the following from a article I was reading:
Each hair on the body has its own growth cycle consisting of three phases. Anagen is the period during which the cells are deposited on the hair shaft in the hair follicle, lengthening the hair. During catagen, the hair stops growing and the follicle retracts. During telogen, the follicle rests. The hair may be shed during the telogen phase or it may be pushed out of the follicle by a new hair as anagen begins again.
Other Considerations:
Some people have an anagen phase that is longer than the norm. These people may be able to grow floor-length or longer hair. Conversely, an abnormally short anagen phase accounts for the difficulty some people have growing hair even to shoulder length. Hair breakage due to chemical or heat processing or inherent fragility may also significantly affect hair length, but is not related to hair growth.
