I would like to know if anyone on this board has ever experienced any faster hair growth in the summer. I noticed that mine has grown much faster this summer. It could be a combination of the vitamins and water that I take every day.

Yes, I read somewhere that hair does grow faster in the summer. Why, I don`t know. I guess because during the blistery cold winter, the cold air is more drying to our hair, therefore hindering growth. I don`t know, so don`t quote me on that one. I think I read it in Sophisticate`s Black Hair Care Magazine. But, my hair does grow faster in the summer, and it is also less dry, I`m assuming because there is more moisture and humidity in the air. But, that isn`t a good thing either, because that causes frizzies.

WELL, I NOTICED THAT WHEN I BEGAN EXERCISING FOR A WHILE MY HAIR STARTED TO GROW AT A DIFFERENT RATE. NOW WHEN YOU EXERCISE YOU SWEAT AND IN THE SUMMER YOU SWEAT FROM THE HEAT. WHEN YOU SWEAT YOUR PORES OPEN WHICH STIMULATE GROWTH.

I drink 8 to 10 glasses of water per day. It has helped me to cool down a bit during the blistering summer. I take Shen Min (will be switching to Ultra Nourishair next month), Silica, Flaxseed Oil, MSM, Evening Primrose Oil and Biotin. Also, I take a multi vitamin. It was hard at first taking all of these vitamins but I am used to it.
I went to my hairdresser today and he said that I might have grown 3 inches (after my last trim two months ago). I will be getting a relaxer next week so that will be the moment of truth.
