When you are washing your long hair, make sure that you brush through it first with a wide toothed comb to get rid of the nasty tangles and knots which can be painful and take forever to remove when wet. You should aim to comb your hair everyday in a manner that is like this but washing your hair every day is not recommended as again, this will strip the oils.

One of the best things that you can do when washing long hair is to only lather the soap at the roots and not touch the ends. The shampoo will be washed through the ends when you rinse out anyway and this can help to prevent the ends from becoming rather dried out. The same applies to conditioner but in reverse; do not put so much conditioner at the roots which can cause the hair to become greasier but instead put quite a bit on the ends to rehydrate them.

There are so many great shampoos and conditioners on the market that you are specifically designed for long hair, it is worth trying them out just to see for yourself the difference!
