Thigh-length hair here.

DD is 10 and cannot untangle her hair by herself. Her hair goes down to mid-thigh. It's thin and breakable and tangles like crazy.
That type of hair really has no business being long, but... it's my daughter's great joy. So, I deal with it.

I console myself with the thought that Austrian Empress Elizabeth (Sissi, if you saw the movies) had floor length hair that was untangled carefully for hours every day by her hairdresser and assistants, and while this was done, she had Hungarian lessons and attended to other business. Her hairdresser had orders to show her the number of hairs captured on the combs, so she could see whether they'd been careful enough.

At one point, DD's hair will have to be cut or she'll have to untangle it herself, because we don't live a "daily hairdresser" type of life, but we can wait a while to decide that. Every evening, she reads in bed while I untangle her hair. It's braided the rest of the time. she sleeps on a silk pillowcase and has a specific technique for washing and drying it.
