Hair grow in a day
Human hair grows at a consistent rate of about
half a millimeter per day, or about half an inch
each month. More specifically, the study says
hair grows at 0.44 mm per day.  Depending on your
age, hair may grow faster or slower. Genetics and
your hormonal state also affect growth, half a
millimeter per day is a good average.

How woman takes care of hair

• For women, hair is especially important for their
  beauty.
• 1.Balance of hormones.
• One thing is we should maintain proper balance of
  hormones, during and after the menopause, the
  relative effect of testosterone increases.
  Within hair follicles, testosterone is converted
  into a stronger hormone, called
  dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which can
  inactivate hair follicles, leading
  to hair thinning and hair loss.

• 2.Diet
• Eating adequate protein is important for hair
  growth because hair follicles are made of mostly
  protein.
• A lack of protein in the diet has been shown to
  promote hair loss.
• Biotin is essential to produce a hair protein
  called keratin, which is why biotin supplements
  are often marketed for hair growth.
