So I'm not very privy to this hair stuff but I'll try my best to describe my hair. I would rather not share a picture because internet safety yk. I have pin straight, very thin hair that's a little shorter than shoulder length. It's dyed right now (no bleach/lifters).

I kind of want to grow it out because I haven't had long hair since I was a child, but ever since I chopped it all off when I was ~10 I haven't been able to grow it past my shoulders. I'm a broke young adult looking for cheap ways to grow my hair. Any advice would be appreciated!

I'm researching Chinese food culture right now (unspecified time period) and I was wondering if they had anything like feudal Europe's communal ovens or like south/west Asian tandoors? Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm not too well read on topics like these at the moment.
