I really dunno what to do- I always try to apply masks and treatments, but at the moment I am so desperate, that if I had money for hairdresser, I would cut it short!!! Yes and that's after trying to grow it for years! It is really getting more damaged and frayed. I realy would love to have long hair, but if I have to struggle like that every day??? Maybe rather have a short start???

What the UK does to hair, I well know as mine is also long, past shoulder length, thick and wavy which curls and the bottom within a day leading to tangles. Generally, I keep my hair covered, from the sun and chemical laden rain by wearing a hat. Other than that, on advice from;
The LongLocks Salon - Message Boards for Long Hair Care, Hairstyles and Beauty
I massage in Jojoba oil to help with the retention of moisture.
I have just this day tried to straighten my hair with tongs, but am a bit alarmed by how dry it is, not sure I will continue with doing that.
Yes, the oily film on the surface of a coffee, a water filter is the way to go, it does also improve the taste and hopefully removes any residual heavy metals in the water caused by our lead pipes.
