when your hair gets at that i can't stand it i am going to cut it mark try some new hairdos. if you let your hair hang straight use a curling iron and make curls. if your hair is naturally curly instead of the same old hair do blow dry to flip it under, or up, or out to the sides. you have to be inventive. my hair is down to my behind. i have spent most of my life with long hair but i did get a pixie cut, a bob, i permed, i ponytailed, braided,and clipped up. when it gets to that frustrating stage you just have to figure out a do for you at that length. DON'T CUT. work with what you have. in no time you will wonder how it got that long. just need patience and imagination!!! i am 60 my hair is healthy.
