Can you feel hair growing?

Published in Hair Growth Biology 1 min read

You cannot feel your hair growing. Hair growth occurs beneath the skin's surface within the hair follicle, which lacks nerves. This means there's no way to sense the process of hair growth. The feeling of "tingling" on your scalp is not related to hair growth but rather a sensory perception.

While hair growth is an ongoing process, the sensation of your hair getting longer is primarily a visual experience. However, certain factors like hormone changes during pregnancy can influence hair growth, resulting in faster growth and reduced hair loss.
