To be precise, henna prevents your hair from "weathering". That one's
actually verified microscopically. This means your single hair strand
is far less likely to split, break, get tired as it grows long. If
each hair is breaking off less, it appears go grow faster because the
growth rate is not diminished by breakage. Therefore, your hair
appears to grow faster. Did that make sense? The growth rate at the
generative base is not faster, but if you combine rate of growth with
weathering loss rate, you get much faster "net" growth with henna.

also, hennaed hair tangles less when you brush it, so that favors
greater "net" hair growth rate.
