I have a lot of life experience and a background in education and some counselling. The following are quotes from friends and family regarding advice I have given them in the past:
"You are so direct and to the point but not harsh."
"You have a lot of wisdom."
"You always know how to cut right to the heart of the matter."
I believe that I tell it like it is but I am also senstive to other's feelings and I am able to see things from various perspectives. Hopefully, I can help you too.

I really hate my hair. It's thick, curly, and hard to do anything with. I was straightening my hair (I always do but it seems not to do anything) and I always but the top (thick) layer up in a pony tail and straighten the bottom layer (thin) then switch it around when I'm done. So, when I was straightening the bottom layer and I just love it, it's so straight and thin and I love it. But then I do the top layer and it's all..blah! I seriously hate the top layer and love the bottom layer. How can I get my whole head to be like the bottom layer without spending a lot of money? I kinda also want blonde highlights. I have really dark brown hair. So how can I get my hair like the bottom layer? (Sorry the highlights were totally out of subject) (link)

I know this doesn't exactly answer your question but I also have long curly hair and I would like to recommend a book to you that completely changed how I manage my hair. I used to have similar complaints about my hair as you mentioned but since I have been using the techniques I learned in this book, I have different hair all together; I really like my hair now. And, on top of it all, the things I do with my hair now take less time and cost less money!
The book is called "Curly Girl" and I think the author's name is Loraine Massey. I bought it at Chapters about 3 years ago. It was cheap and it is a fun and easy read.
The main thing I learned is that curly hair is completely different from straight hair and therefore needs to be treated as such. For example, it is very damaging to be regularly shampooing curly hair. Have you ever noticed that your hair actually looks better when you have gone longer than usual without washing it? There is a reason for that. The book will explain this and tell you what we curly girls should be doing with our hair.
Have fun!
