How quickly does hair grow? | Abingdon | Didcot | Wantage | Oxfordshire

It’s important to recognise that 0.5 inches of hair growth isn’t an exact measurement for every person. For example curly hair (whilst it does grow at a comparable rate), can be misleading as growth is often disguised by curls yet it is an objective measurement for hair growth. As your Stylist gets to know you, they will understand how much your hair grows every few months and in this instance familiarity is supportive. 

In some cases 0.5 inches of hair growth might be deemed to be inconsistent,  yet over a larger sample size it is a fairly accurate representation for most clients. Individual cases will also show that some people experience faster growth, while others feel their hair “never grows.” In reality, hair is growing, but factors like breakage, split ends, and poor hair health can present the illusion that it doesn’t. We often see it with client with hair colour citing that hair doesn’t surpass a certain length and therefore isn’t growing when in reality it is growing, it’s just not gaining any length. Regular haircuts, proper hydration, and a healthy hair care routine are essential to maintaining length and thickness over time.
