I heard that hair grows faster in the summer. Is that true or just a myth?

The fact that it’s summer season doesn’t directly affect hair growth – it’s the effect of the weather on our body and summer activities that can affect hair growth.
In the summer heat, our bodies work harder and faster to cool us down and maintain homeostasis (stable conditions necessary for survival) – and other functions, like hair growth, are also affected by this.
Aside from the heat, we’re also more active in summer than winter because of the great weather, and increased activity equals increased blood circulation – which stimulates hair growth.
Yes. There’s actually a study that found out hair grows faster in March and slows down around September.
This study by the University of Bradford found that by March, 90% of their test subjects’ hair was in the anagen phase which is the phase our hair grows.
