Not really...Hair growth depends of nutrition and hair care.
A lot of people think blacks hair don't grow as fast is for a few reasons...
1. Our hair is a more kinky curly texture...which when straighten is quite long.
2. Black hair lacks natural oil, which can cause breakage do to it's dry texture...It grows at the same rate, but breaks easier.
3. Relaxers damage black hair and makes hair grow slower, and other chemicals as well...like hair colors, texturizers and that sort of thing.
4. A lot of black women like weaves, because it make black hair easier to manage. weaves also cause breakage from glues or having to be sewn into existing hair.
5. Because our hair is naturally dry...Curlers and other heat products cause breakage.
Example...My hair was nearly shaved bald last year. and now my hair is well past my shoulders...I don't use relaxers, weaves, hair color, or put lots of heat in my hair, and I use natural hair care products to maintain moisture.

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. Learn here https://bitly.im/aMPap It is not a very serious problem and with a little bit of caution you will be able to prevent further hair loss. There are certain uncontrollable factors like pregnancy conditions or certain illness or genetic factors that will result in hair loss. But, this does not mean that you cannot do something about your hair loss.

No I don't, when I had natural hair and would get it straightend it was down the middle of my back, well I made the mistake of getting a relaxer (I also got a shorter cut) and my hair became damaged and woud not grow. I am back to natural and I am sure it will grow just as fast as any other persons. Lots of black women get relaxers and that is not good for our hair....

The key to hair growth is maintaining it the ways it needs to be maintained.
My hair grows fast, because I maintenance it the way it needs to be maintained. I wash it 3 to 4 times a week, and I deep condition my hair 2 times a week, and I trim it every 6 to 8 weeks! It really has nothing to do with your skin color!
Peace!

The average growth in a year in about 6 inches for any race/grade of hair. I'm black and cape verdean and my hair grows about an half inch to an inch a month.

Not at all. Caucasian hair tends to be less prone to breakage than African-type hair because the cuticle is open on theirs.
Asian and Native American hair is the strongest and on average, it grows the fastest.

No sorry can't say that is true. It depends on how well you take care of your hair. If you put a lot of chemicals in your hair and heat, regardless of hair texture your hair will have breakage and be damaged.
No such thing as good hair, just how good you are to your hair.

It really depends on the individual: the age, nutrition, climate, hair grows faster during the full moon, etc. Both types of people have pretty hair.

Caucasian hair; being of course without postpone; has without postpone roots so it grows swifter. this would not advise you may't improve hair; you in basic terms could desire to be responsive to a thank you to look after it.

If the hair folical is round it will grow strait. If it is oval it will curl. Black folks folicals are flat oval and grows like a spring. The rate of growth is the same.
