How Much Does Your Hair Grow In A Year?

[Mestiza]

I'm not really sure! I'm guessing that it's probably around 6 inches a year.

 

[Sweet_Ambrosia]

6-7 inches.

 

[angellazette]

3.5 inches in 8 months, I guess that's almost half an inch a month...so I estimate 5.5-6.

 

[SerenityBreeze]

I would say about 6 inches a month based on my comparision pics and considering trims in between.

[MzTami]

I'm guesstimating 1.5-2 inches every 3.5 months. So if I retain the growth it would be 6-7 inches per year, but I never retained growth because of the daily use of the flat-iron. But since finding out about LHCF it's growing at 2 inches per 3.5 months.

 

[a_ caribbean_dream]

phew i am ashamed of myself. I said 3 inches!

 

[Allandra]

I've never really kept track of how much my hair grows in a year. Once I reached my goal, I just keep it trimmed to remain there.

 

[Peachtree]

About 5"... But most importantly, my RETENTION has also been 5" (estimate)

 

[shalom]

I have never really measured my hair before. What I have noticed is since June my hair has has grown about 3 1/2 - 4 inches, I know this because I had my hair color the last day of May this year for a trip I just had my coworker measure my new growth and he said that it was a little over 3 1/2 inches. So since June and Today that might mean I average somewhere between 7 1/2 - 8 inches per year. Unfortunately, I won't be keeping it because I like my hair to remain at certain length and once it passes that length I cut it.

 

[LDebagoria]

This year is looking like four inches. But I hope to move that on up to six...

 

[Candy_C]

my hair grows fast but due to the BLUNT SCISSOR WOMAN! and the type of buns iwas doing, i had to chop all my hard earned growth off. but thankfully that bright red hair colour u can see has gone (to think it was a semi!). my hair grows the average 6 inches a yr, but because i take biotin i'm lookin at anything between 6-8 inches. my hair grows fastest in the spring. its not how much u grow, its how much u retain. i have retained only 4 inches. so now i have my staples and my vitamins, i am ready to battle!

[sweetcashew]

I get about an inch in the colder months and a littler more than that in the warmer months. So I'd have to say about 12 inches.

 

[czyfaith77]

I would say between 6 and 7. I had a few trims this year and I estimate that I may have lost about an inch through trims (an eighth or fourth at a time) but it worth one inch as oppose to 2 or 3 inches at one time.

 

[Jbirds1]

My nape grows 6 inches a year. The top and sides grow only 4-5 inches. I wish my hair would grow evenly all around my head!

 

[silvergirl]

... 6-7 inches for me

 

[SherryLove]

I REALLY DO NOT KNOW, YALL.... i have cut and trimmed my hair so much in the past 5 years that it's hard to tell... now i intend to keep the scissors out of my hair this year, so i will be able to tell how much my hair grows in a year at the end of this year. smile...

 

[shawniegee]

I can't say my growth rate is inconsistent from month to month so I have no idea.

 

[star]

5"-6" inches hoping to stimulate scalp for 2006 for little more growth. We will see.

 

[vikkisecret]

Well I would say somewhere around 4-5 inches. Not that good if you ask me but i retained some thickness that I didnt have before joining LHCF. 2006 will dedicated to adding more thickness and a noticeable amount of length. Armpit here i come on my bday (June 19th).

 

[KiSseS03]

I guessed about 7. I never really measured, but I know at my final retouch I had 1.5 inches of new growth accumulated over 2 months... which would be about .75 inches per month. This might have been a result of the hot summer weather causing my hair to grow faster, I was also less stressed (no school) and was more active. So I guessed 7....

 

[MissCapricornCutie]

I'm in the process of figuring this out since I regularly kept my hair cut but based on pictures from last year it appears to range from 4-6 or so inches.

My hair grows at different rates and seemingly in the following order: top, back, sides, crown (center), temples.

Also, I'm growing out layers so that's something else to get me p.o.'d

 

[ekomba]

i put 8" or more cause its been 6 months and i started bald head in june and have 8" in some parts 7" in others so i m not finished counting for the year till end of june 06 i will know how much i can grow. i just bougth new vits and i m trying to keep my rate at 2" per month and double the amount i already did in 6 months by maximizing all the vits, products,ingredients that can grow hair i m shooting for 16inch per year

my goal is to reach waistlength in 2years or less than i dish the vits and just trim dead ends and maintain at waist natural

 

[Faith]

I get like 4-6"... with trims I may get by with 3-5"/year. My front grows slower so about 3" and the back about 5" (so it comes out layered and uneven). Overall I would say 3-4" a year.

[curlilocs]

I'm guessing about 7-8 inches per year. I BC'ed last June and I've had 2 trims, the last was more like a cut, but I'm guessing about 3/4 of an inch per month.

 

[amorette]

i looked at your fotki Jaded! wow what progress! good for you girl! You will definately get to waistlength by 2007 !

 

[amorette]

im new to this lhcf (february), but i measured between february and march, and i got 2 inches in one month, i didnt measure this month yet, but i will.

 

[Angelicus]

A little over four inches in a year. I cut a lot though.
