Hi and welcome! Cheesy

If you want to grow your hair long, the main thing is to keep it healthy. Not just "healthy looking" like shampoo commercials say, but really healthy.

Most common hair type in my country is fine and thin. In my opinion the sleek, smooth look of a fine, thin hair can be very beautiful, and people with other hairtypes are sometimes willing to go quite far in order to achieve that look you have naturally. Not to mention, that fine hair has naturally more shine than more coarse hair types. I believe that part of long hair journey is learning to accept your hair as it is and see the positive sides of your hairtype.

There are hair friendly methods of curling etc. But honestly, I don't think that you can really "hide" your hairtype well. I think it might be better to pursue a long, healthy hair that makes your hair the best it can be. Smiley

Welcome!

Healthy hair is the true key to growing long hair, regardless the type.  Thin hair really needs to be treated gently - like silk.  Very careful detangling, gentle shampooing, only hair friendly hair toys, and protecting the hair as much as possible.

Trying to increase the appearance of volume of hair is most easily done with body waves.  These can be achieved by putting damp hair into a bun and letting the hair dry.  Sock and rag curls can also give the same effect, as long as the curls are loose.

Glad you have you here and I look forward to getting to know you better.   Cheesy

HELLO & WELCOME!!!
I have fairly thin hair too and I have found that after I wash it and it is almost dry but the ends are slightly damp I braid it. It seems like the braids makes it  appear thicker plus giving my stick straight hair some body and waves.

Cheesy thanks for the advice. i have heard that thin hair is pretty from other people before(mainly my husband) but i just thought they were trying to be nice. it does seem to look better the longer it gets. i refuse to put any chemicals on it ever again. i guess i really should accept my hair for what it is and just make what i have look as nice as possible. thanks.
