Ethnicity, Hair Texture, Hair Type
Caucasian hair grows at a rate of about 1.2cm a month and has the greatest density of all three hair types. Blondes have about 146,000 hairs on their heads, black-haired beauties about 110,000 hairs, brunettes 100,000 hairs and redheads roughly 86,000 hairs. Afro-Caribbean hair is predominantly black and a healthy person possesses about 50,000 to 100,000 hairs on their head but they have the slowest growth rate of about 0.9cm per month. Asian hair – the most dominant hair type in the world – out speeds the rest with a growth rate of 1.3cm per month, and despite an estimated 80,000 to 140,000 scalp hairs, it usually has the least density.
There are times when hair can grow down to there. Hair locking is one of the most natural ways to grow long hair in spite of genes and age and still, there are those who have long, loose natural hair as well.
No matter how your hair grows, keeping it healthy is important. Learn to love your hair in whatever stage it is in and embrace the ever changing characteristics.
