Asian hair has a thick cuticle, with tightly packed cuticle cells. These lie flat and packed together, like shingles on a roof, which helps to stop moisture from escaping. Because the cuticle scales lie so flat, they also make the surface of the hair smooth and slippery, with high shine.
Straight hair has a better distribution of oils from the scalp, meaning that the oil can travel easily down the hair shaft. This will help to make the hair look shiny. Genetics do play a role in hair growth, but there are certain things you can do to help speed up the growth of your hair.

Thread starter nijilah Start date Dec 20, Ok, I just want to say that I am not a 'hater,' but I just can't believe this! I started an internship September 2nd. An Chinese girl sits behind me. I talk to her all the time and she is very nice. Anyway, September 2nd, I am 1 inch away from bra strap. September 2nd, she has shoulder length hair.
Now, as of December 19th, I was bra strap but had to give myself a 1 inch trim because everytime that I get to bra strap, I have a head full of split ends. December 19th, she has healthy thick bra strap hair. Now, I am not a hater, but why?
Since I have been paying attention to my hair the past 3 years, I have gone from relaxed shoulder length hair to natural hair that reaches bra strap when stretched. But I always have to trim an inch at bra strap because the ends are so bad and then it takes several months for that inch to grow back. I don't want to complain although I am frustrated, but I think that bra strap is my natural maximum length so I should just focus on the health of my hair and forget the growth thing.
I believe it has more to do with what you put inside your body than what you put outside! Chipmunk Well-Known Member. This reminds of this girl Sheryl that went to my high school. She was Filipino. In the beginning of the school year she had cut her hair to her shoulders by the end of the school year her hair was to her waist.
I've started to eat a lot of fish lately myself, I haven't noticed a big change in hair growth. Lots of salmon, tuna, and mackerel. They must be really short! I am short 5'2 and she was taller than me by a few inches. FlowerHair Reclaiming my time. I think most Asians grow hair faster than almost any other people, because their hair is very thick each strand and it's mostly straight and therefore not as dry as curly hair.
Some of it may be genetic, too. Don't give up though! You'll get there. Valerie Well-Known Member. Asian people tend to see a lot of seaweed, fish, vegetables and poutry, plus they tend to have thick strong hair. Anyway, don't give up, eat plenty of fish, vegetables and keep your hair moisturised and your hair will grow very fast and strong. I think so many things factor in on why someones hair grows longer and faster than someone elses It's fun to me to try and find the right combination But realistically Here is the average growth rate of hairs on different parts of the body, according to data found in a research paper by Pragst F.
Balikova, MA. If you are wondering about why your body or facial hair is growing so fast, the reason is most likely due to hormones. Hormones affect hair growth in many ways, including the growth rate. If we are talking about body and facial hair, testosterone often increases the rate of growth and estrogen often decreases it. This is why women with a lot of facial and body hair often have higher levels of testosterone than other women. Not only does testosterone make hair grow in these places, it makes the hair grow faster.
In addition, substances such as minoxidil, cyclosporin, diazoxide, and chromakalin can increase the growth rate of body and facial hair. If you are wondering why your scalp hair is growing so fast, then the main reason is likely ethnicity or hair thickness.
But other factors may be at play too. In a large study on the diversity of human hair growth, people of African descent tended to have hair that grew the slowest as well as the thinnest hairs. In a study of Asian and Caucasian subjects with straight and semi-straight hair, thicker hair fibers corresponded to a faster growth rate.
Thin hair fibers had slow growth rates. This finding appeared to be unrelated to ethnic origin. Another study analyzed 59, hairs and found that thin hairs grew slower than thick hairs.
This may explain why Asian people tend to have hair that grows the fastest. They also have the thickest hairs. If you have thick hair, that explains why your hair is growing so fast. Especially if you are of European descent, you may just have dense hair. You can tell if your hair is thick by pinching an individual hair between your fingers and feeling it.
Some sources say that for every balding East Asian man there are three balding Caucasians. Greying of hair also starts later but it is not known why. The hair contains a medulla filled with plenty of dark pigment, which is thought to contribute to its shine and high moisture content.
However, because East Asian hair is thicker and sometimes longer, it also tends to lose more moisture, which can lead to dryness and split ends. Because East Asian hair follicles are almost always completely round, they typically have very straight hair. On the other hand, Afro-Caribbean hair follicles are oval and the hair grows in a spiral-like fashion.
