First Look: Zoe Kravitz Covers Marie Claire

Arianne Suggs April 20, 2015April 20, 2015Leave a Comment

Zoe Kravitz is Marie Claire’s newest covergirl and on the cover as well as inside the May 2015 issue Zoe flexes some style muscle. For the cover she wears a moto jacket from the Pre-Fall 2015 Christopher Kane collection. Another shot we loved shows Kravitz in a cute knit sweater dress with snake skin boots. Nevertheless, Zoe also revealed a little insight into her own style preferences:

“I’ve been trying the art of dressing up sweatpants. I feel like an NYU student. Not in a good way. But if you wear them with, like, a chunky boot, it’s kind of cool.”

On average hair researchers have discovered that hair grows about half a millimeter per day. This means over the course of one year strands can grow a total of 6 inches or half a foot. Nevertheless, other factors do affect hair growth including but not limited to: genetics, age, pregnancy and hormones. Knowing the average will help keep hair growth in the right perspective without it becoming a discouraging process. Hair is continuously growing and with proper haircare techniques your strands will keep growing in the direction you want them to… down south.
