Adding my voice to the chorus... mine's around waist length now, and I've never had any trouble growing it long.
Convincing it to STAY in updos, yes, grow long, no.
I was also told that as mine is fine also,but in my 20's/30's had it to tailbone and had it BSL most of my younger life,now at 60 am a bit past waist.So fine hair does grow long!Just give it tender loving care as due to being fine it will break/damage easier.Avoiding dyes, brushing[I use a wide tooth comb instead of a brush]hot blowdyers and flat irons really helps.

I never had trouble either growing it long. My ends were reasonable even when I took little care of it and wore it down all day. When wearing it up however the damage done is less of course and the only reason I ever chopped back to shorter lengths wasn't because of the bad state my ends were in, but because of the annoyment that it got so long that it wasn't fun anymore to wear it down. So yeah, it can get really long even when it is fine. Mine is 2.75 inches thick and babyfine. However it won't be the same for everyone, several factors influence the outcome. I am lucky I have good hair genes as in, my hair grow quite fast and it has a long cycle, doesn't shed much.

I have fine hair that I wear down almost every single day, and I'm having no trouble at all growing it out. So my answer is 'yes'.
Zepphead...your hair in your avatar is just gorgeous...As another Fine i/ii, your hair is to DIE FOR, no matter what! Keep growing!
Just wanted to reply to this one comment - I too have had many hair stylists recommend layers, or thinning for my fine (and straight) hair "to help give it body". Well, it just means less hair further down the length which doesn't give it more body, it makes it look thinner than it is.
(There is bound to be a thread about this somewhere, but I don't recall where sorry) Since reading info here on the LHC I won't ever be getting my hair thinned again.
