…….You can grow 11 miles of hair in a year!…
If you took every strand on your head-all 100,000 to 150,000 of them…and laid them end to end, after a year of growth you'd have anywhere from 7 to 11 miles of hair on your, errr……hands.
While each stands's average output is roughly a centimeter per month,its lifespan is only about 4 years, which explains why most manes don't fall longer than mid-back, but you can maximize growth potential.
"Eating a healthy diet that's rich in protein and iron is a good way of maintaining health hair" said Dr Paradi Mirmirani, a dermatologist in Vallejo , California, who specializes in hair disorders.
