Dianthus barbatus (Sweet William) is a species of Dianthus native to southern Europe and parts of Asia which has become a popular ornamental garden plant. It is a herbaceous biennial or short-lived perennial plant growing to 13â92 cm tall, with flowers in a dense cluster of up to 30 at the top of the stems.
The hair on your head grows about six inches per year on average, or about half an inch per month. Each hair grows for about two to six years then stops and enters the telogen phase, during which it is gradually shed. On average, you lose about 50 to 100 hairs per day. Often, the growth cycle of the follicle starts over and a new hair begins to grow in after one is shed.
Hair on the scalp grows about .3 to .4 mm/day or about 6 inches per year. Unlike other mammals, human hair growth and shedding is random and not seasonal or cyclical. At any given time, a random number of hairs will be in one of three stages of growth and shedding: anagen, catagen, and telogen.
