Mine grows about half an inch a month. I wish it would grow faster

My friends even tell me it grows super slow.

In winter my hair grows about 1/2 inch a month. In summer it seems to speed up and I get close to an inch some months.

Actually even less than half an inch is average (1cm/ 0.4")

so nobody be sad ok?

My hair grows a little faster than that- 1.7cm/ 0.7" a month.

It sped up lately though..I used to have less growth in 2006..

My growth rate is all over the place. Some months I get 0. One month I got 1-1/4 inch. When I average it out, I get just below the average rate of 6 inches per year (1/2 inch per month).

Your growth rate is phenomenal!
