Why does my hair grow faster in the front than the back?
Hair can actually grow faster on one side. Each hair follicle has its own blood supply, and it’s possible that one side of the head has better circulation. Better circulation means faster hair growth.
Why does the top of my hair grow slower than the sides?
The reason for this is that hair at the sides and back of the head is resistant to DHT (DiHydroTestosterone) hormone which slows down hair growth. DHT is an androgen (hormone) which is responsible for giving men their male characteristics.
Why does hair grow faster on some parts of the body?
The answer is simple. The reason hair appears to grow back quicker when you shave, whether that’s on your face, legs, underarms etc, is because the hair is cut close to the surface of the skin. Meaning it grows straight from the surface, making it visible almost instantaneously.
What causes uneven hair growth?
Uneven hair growth can be caused by the food you eat, your level of stress, the amount of moisture that your hair is receiving and just plain old genetics. After that, look at how you care for your hair, and the way that your parents’ hair grows, as well.
Will hair grow back evenly?
Unfortunately that’s not true. In fact, having damaged hair removed does not in any way alter anyone’s genetic growth cycle. Hair may grow out much healthier, but it’s not going to grow any faster than it grows even if the damaged hair is still attached.
Does the front of your hair grow faster?
Scientists have found hair generally grows faster at the front of the head than at the back. Age and hormones play a role in hair growth rate, as well as color and texture. The natural color of your hair even affects its growth rate, as gray hair grows at a different rate than pigmented hair.
Does side hair grow faster than top?
Myth: Hair grows faster on the sides of your hair and slower on the top. This may be as simple as observing your sleeping habits. This is because whichever side you sleep on will be experiencing a heavier blood flow because of the pressure on the scalp.
