i wanna see too, just because lol. how thin is thin? because alot of people with really thin hair probably keep it shorter than wl or hl and layered to create the illusion of volume and thickness...
I have low density fine strands and only a small patch of silky 3c hair on my right temple. I am a 3c/4a mix. I am sitting at BSL -- we'll see how far I make it.I want to know too. I feel like I have the worst of both worlds. Mostly fine strands, low density, Mostly 3c NOT SILKY. I have Never been longer than BSL. I don't know anyone with this combo with waist length hair.

There is a member here with either MBL or WL hair and she has this combo. All I can remember is that her s/n starts with the letter L. or R. or....something else.
I have very thin hair. I straighten with one pass of a flat iron so it's kinky straight rather than bone straight to give the illusion of volume. Right now it's WL (I'm shortwaisted-my waist is @ 2 inches above my right thumb in my avatar). I just accept it for what it is though I love looking at the thick haired ladies like Domin.
You know what ladies, come to think of it as I joined the hip length challenge - I let my hair get past hip length and was "crackin" on some "extra " thin hair - I have pics ! (sorry, but I know the black shorts don't help see the stretched length)
Looking back - it wasn't a bad look, hope this helps. Keep growing ladies! .
I thought about this thread today when I was looking at one of my almost non-existent hair strands, lol. Really, on fine hair some of the strands are so small they are barely visible.
I think there's quite a few fine hair ladies out there that made it to wl or beyond....really I don't think it matters the thickness. If someone with fine strands made it to the length you want to be than it's a good chance you can make it too. Thick or thin dosen't play any part in retaining length, I think it's just that more thin hair ladies don't go for really long lengths because they don't prefer the look of thin, long hair.
I know when mine went past waist the ends got skimpy and I wanted to chop. Now I just do styles that make my hair look full mainly because I like big hair.
I guess I should've said density. Hair density wouldn't play a part in retaining. I don't mean strand size.In real life I know waaaay more coarse (thick strand) 4bs with long hair than fine (thin strands) 4bs and its not by choice
Wow, your hair is the bomb.com in ur avatar. r u natural? how often do you use heat?
No one has ever said that before, thank you! I'm natural & I use heat 3-4 times a year. Mostly I keep it in a beehive twist and hidden under a lf. I moisturize every 4-5 days with evco. And I abandoned the comb..finger detangling has cut down dramatically on hair loss.

Y do u think u are losing length???
Wow , seeing you right now is like seeing a ghost. You havent been around in a loooong timeHi Ladies,
This is truely my group. In addition my hair is in two groups. Top crown is alittle past waist and lower section is touching hip. Probably would have been in better shape but had some major set backs with hair loss and lost faith in my ability to care for it. Sounds strange but it happened. When I started a hip length thread years ago I was pulling my self out of some troubled times. But something hit and life got heavy and hecktic. I lost half my volume of hair and my incentive went with it. :Rose: Fell back into some old bad habits and just wallowed in self pity.
Took me a while to regain some confidense so I am up for a challenge to repair, strenthen and just take good care of my locks.
I have been on the site now for two days enjoying the stories of so many ladies who have reached waist length and beyond. So many lovely heads of long beatiful hair.
So here are my goals, using my natural products regain some volume by nuturing new grow and broken hairs to catch up with the other two lengths.
I suspect this is at least a two year journey. I have faith now I won't neglect my hair again. Because I way really just neglecting part of who I was.
When I get a new photo account somewhere I will up load a recent photo to start the challenge for my self.
Nice to be here and see fellow thin /fine long hairs working toward the long hair goals.:Rose:
Here's a youtuber I watch who has BSL thin hair YouTube - nunaavane's Channel

It happened recently. I over pressed during the holidays. Too much heat has always been a no-no but ... oh well, shoulda, coulda, woulda....
On a good note, it's doing R & R right now and getting better
Thank you for asking
@Loveygram reconstuctors help any?
My hair never would have been considered thick. I has always been fine. Younger it had its moments of volume. But the last 10 years the volume has decreased. I think it is easier for me to keep up with long.
I do have a long journey to get it back in shape though.
here is a photo from today.
