Hair Growth Speed: Does Color Affect It?

It's a common misconception that hair color affects growth speed. All hair grows at roughly the same rate, regardless of color.

Here's why:

* Hair growth is determined by genetics and overall health. Factors like nutrition, stress levels, and medical conditions play a larger role than hair color.

* Hair color is determined by melanin, a pigment produced by cells called melanocytes. While melanin concentration determines color, it doesn't impact the growth process.

So, there's no "fastest-growing" hair color.
