Hey, I'm a guy and I grow my hair out long, over a foot in length. I wear it parted in the middle and pulled back in a pony-tail, and have had it like this for several years now. Just recently, I've started having a lot of breakage in my hair, lots in the shower drain and in the brush or comb. (no, I am not going bald, in case you're wondering) I can see the ends where the hair has broken and it's looking really bad.
Is there a type of shampoo or conditioner that works well for longer hair and prevents breakage? I've been doing other things that my girlfriend suggested such as using a hairdryer and certain ways of combing. But I still have a lot of breakage problem. Don't want to cut it off, either, as I like having it long. =P
Any advice or suggestions? If it helps at all, my hair is also very fine, not thick or curly. (link)

I also have long, fine hair and I can promise you - the only way to keep it looking fairly healthy at the ends is to have it trimmed every now and then. There are plenty of products out there that might make a small, short-term difference but ultimately you're just going to have to chop off the dry, brittle ends. Just half an inch off will make a difference if you're worried about losing too much length. You could even get your girlfriend to do it if you don't want to pay someone to do such a small job - it's dead easy and I'm sure she'll know how. Good luck! x
