The first thing to do to maintain a long and healthy hair is to begin with a good and healthy haircut to remove damaged, permed, or color treated hair. The next step is self-awareness. You should be able to know what to do and should not be done to your hair. A long, healthy hair is very much appealing to one's eyes and it reflects a good personality on you...

I agree. I don't think there is anything more beautiful than a head of long, shiny, well kept hair.

It does take time to make hair look this way, but it is worth all the effort.

Long hair definitely requires effort and also use of the correct products. If it's long and curly, like mine, I recommend using a spray-on leave-in condition to help keep it shiny.

It can't hurt to visit a professional on a regular basis to keep your hair at its best. If that's not in your budget, then you should do some hot oil treatments at home. Those are always good for your hair.

I agree with you there. There is something so beautiful about shiny, beautiful hair. It just makes a person seem healthier. My mom was always really picky about getting her hair cut. She absolutely HAD to get the split ends cut off every 6 months. I try to keep up with it, but sometimes I just don't notice haha.

When your hair is healthy, I think that it makes you feel good inside. I know I feel really good about myself right after I wash and style my hair. Imagine how you'd feel if you keep your hair in good condition all the time.
