Hair growth is based on a huge genetic web which has very little to do with race itself.

Some people may have extremely slow growing hair, whereas others may grow excessively quick based on many different genetic and social factors.

How much does African Americans hair grow in a week?

African American hair grows as fast or slow as anyone else's does. I've seen some black people's hair grow more than an inch a month, and other's grow less than 1/4th inch a month (within the same family too). Hair growth for everyone is on a case by case basis. There is not an all encompassing number.


How come a white person's hair grows faster than a black person's hair.?

I don't think that's true. Typically a white person's hair is straighter than a black person's hair so the change in length is more obvious when it's growing out. Also, black peoples' hair is thicker, so growing it may take more time. It doesn't. All people's hair gets to a certain point when it stops growing at a certain length. A white person can have hair past their shoulders, and a black person can grow hair upwards of more than a foot long.

Trichotillomania is a disease where you pull out your own hair compulsively. Repeatedly pulling out hair can damage the hair follicle which can slow or stop hair growth. Working with a mental health specialist and a dermatologist you can stop the behavior and begin to grow the hair back.
