Yes but as your body dehydrates it may appear to be longer.

Horror movies and popular mythology aside, no... your hair stops growing when you die. You'll sometimes see hair getting a little longer on the outside, but that's only because the skin of the scalp is decomposing and the hair under the skin is getting pushed out because of that.

Yes. Hair grows when dividing cells at the bottom of the hair follicle push the older cells towards the outer surface of the skin. By the time the hair reaches the skin, it is nothing but dead skin cells.
When someone starts losing their hair (balding), the follicles have died, and the cells in the hair follicle are no longer dividing. No cell division = no hair growth. Same when you die. When you die, cells are no longer dividing because they are no longer living.

The hair is not just a part of your body and it is a symbol of beauty, status and health. It is important for you to take proper care of your health in order to prevent early hair loss.

Yes. The myth that hair and fingernails continue to grow is perpetuated by this; what really happens is that your body tissue's moisture dries out and recedes, giving the appearance of longer hair and nails.

No, when you consider that hair grows from the roots, which do not get dyed. Nevertheless, if you happen to dye your hair too much it's going to get relatively broken and the ends will start breaking off and it's going to seem adore it isn't developing as speedy.

When you die, your hair no longer grows. You skin will dehydrate and shrink making your hair appear to be longer...but death stops hair and nail growth.

not right away it keeps growing for a few days after death, because cells and stuff in your body are still living (assuming you havent been 100% embalmed)
