"Gain length" is correct, but in most cases you would say "get longer."
Ex:
I let my hair get longer in the winter.
The line at the store gets longer in the afternoon.

@Sakura76 you don't normally talk about a person having "length." For a person you talk about height. A growing child would "get taller" or "grow taller."
