The average rate of hair growth growth in humans usually does not exceed 1mm / day.
There are situations in which it could grow faster or much slower.

It depends on the type of hair.
human hair seems to grow at a pretty consistent rate of about half a millimeter or so per day, or about half an inch every month.
It may grow faster or slower depending on your age, your genetics and your hormonal state (pregnancy seems to have an affect on hair)
the maximum growth rate for hair is about 6 inches (15 cm) per year

A truly immeasurable amount: 0.016666666667 inches per day.
0.01666667 in = 0.423333418 millimeters
So less then 1/2 a mm daily

Depends what kind of hair you're talking about...they all grow at different rates.

I think it grows half an inch each month... So that's six inches in one year. Divide 6 by 365.25... I think you'll find your answer.
