A couple of years ago, I noticed I was getting strands of gray hair.  I immediately went to the salon and asked my stylist of the last 15 years to please cover this STAT!  She did.  But a few weeks later, it was back.   I told her I thought I was either losing my mind or my hair was actually growing faster in warm weather.   We both agreed generally speaking, I have lost my mind.  But in this one instance, there was some logic behind the madness.  She told me our hair actually does grow faster in hotter weather.  The reason is because our bodies react to heat by increasing blood circulation to keep the body cool.  As a result of increased circulation, more nutrients get to the hair follicle boosting growth.  Studies show the average hair growth rate increases almost 40% when the weather is warmer.  Just fyi….in case you too have wondered about this phenomenon you now know that yes, weather does affect hair growth.  I can’t comment on the rest of your state of mindJ.
