Val Monroe's beauty advice

Q:
Is it my imagination, or does the hair on my legs as well as my head grow more quickly in summer?

A: There are no reliable statistics about it, but warm weather does seem to make hair grow faster, says Brian Thompson, senior trichologist (hair specialist) at Philip Kingsley Trichological Clinic in New York City.

Bottom line: It's probably not your imagination.
