How long does it take a fingernail to grow from base to tip?

Answer 1

our fingernails grow about 0.8 inches per 1 week and 2.0 centemeters per year

Really I doubt it?

Because they grow 3mm per month! (according to this encyclopedia)

Which means they grow about 1mm PER WEEK.

Measure it out and you will see that's far more likely

Answer 2

My fingernail grows about an inch per year. One study indicates an average lifetime fingernail growth rate of about 5 mm/week.

Related Information:

Fingernail growth rate varies considerably, and fairly predictably, with age.

The rate increases to a high of 0.9 mm/week sometime in the 30,s, and then decreases at the rate of about 5% per year for a total of about 50% over the human life span.

Other factors affecting growth rate include skin temperature, gender, day/night biorhythms, circadian and other long term biorhythms.

Answer 3

fingernails = 1/10 - 1/15 mm per day

toenails = 1/15-1/20 mm per day

Answer 4

I'm not sure exactly, but when I got mine torn clean off, it took almost a year for it to be back to normal again.

Answer 5

Hair and fingernails grow at the same rate; 8 inches a year

Answer 6

just a little while after the fingers and toes form.

Answer 7

On average, a fingernail takes about six months to grow from the base to the tip. However, this can vary based on individual factors like age, health, and genetics.
