The average hair will grow ____________ in one month.

1/4 inch
1/2 inch
3/4 inch
1 inch

The correct answer is: 1/2 inch

The average hair growth rate is typically about half an inch per month. This rate can vary slightly based on individual factors such as genetics, health, and overall hair care practices, but 1/2 inch is widely recognized as the standard measure. This knowledge is important for professionals in the cosmetology industry, particularly when advising clients on hair care and styles. Understanding the average growth can help set realistic expectations for clients when it comes to growing out their hair or maintaining a specific style over time.
