Does your hair grow faster than your fingernails?

An interesting question came up on the million pound drop yesterday.


Which grows faster? Your hair or fingernails?


Your hair grows about 150mm a year.

Your fingernails grow 3 times slower at around 50mm per year.

Your toenails grow about 12mm a year.

The only parts of your skin that are not covered with hair are your lips, the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet
