How much length should be expected in a year?

[porkypig007]

I'm wondering how much hair can grow in a year. I relax my hair every six weeks and such I'm just curious 'cuz I really started taking care of my hair this past August so I'm thinking by next August, I better see some length! Am i been unrealistic?

Hi porkypig007,

On average, hair grows at a rate of 6" per year. Some have more growth and some have less.

Some people's growth can be as little as 1/4 inch a month therefore making it 3" in a year average is about 1/2 per month making it 6 inches. Others can get a consistent full inch per month.
