do fingernails and hair grow at the same rate
Growth Rates. Fingernails grow approximately 2 to 3 millimeters, or about 1/8 inch, per month. Toenails grow slower than fingernails, at a rate of about 1 mm per month. Hair, on the other hand, grows at a much faster rate: roughly Â¼ to Â½ inch per month, or 6 inches per year. In fact, after bone marrow, hair is the fastest growing tissue in the body.
