How long does a hair live?

Marilyn Sherlock (Trichologist) gives expert video advice on: Can you effect the speed of the hair growth cycle?; How long does it take for hair to grow?; How can hair breakage be prevented? and more...

The hair lives, if you're Afro-Caribbean, or of African origin, for perhaps only 2 years, maybe 3. In Europeans, it's approximately 5 years. For Asians it can be as much as 7 years. here are of course variants between those because of mixed race, but that is a guideline as to the hair life cycle, the life span of hair.
