Can you give me some good hairstyles for long hair?

My hair goes down to my bottom, with no layers or bangs. I'm kind of getting tired of pony tails, buns, and braids, so can you help me by suggesting any hairstyles? My hair is too heavy for a perm or curls, trust me I've tried. Also my hair is greasy at the roots and split at the ends. Any tips on shampoo and conditioner for that? Right how I focus shampoo on the roots and conditioner from ponytail spot and down, but it doesn't help much. Is there any specific shampoo and conditioner that would help that won't break the bank?Can you give me some good hairstyles for long hair?
Here this should look good and here is a link.

Unless you can't for religious or cultural reasons, you should really consider cutting your hair (that's the only way you can get rid of split and dried ends). I honestly have no clue what hairstyles you can do with that much hair, but I have a couple tips for your greasy/dry problem. You can try using dry shampoo (powders that absorb the oils at the root of you hair, so it's not greasy) for the top, and use a deep conditioning hair mask only on the bottom (some of these you need to heat up and let sit for like 10 minutes). you could find either of these products at a CVS. You could also get ';Beautiful Lengths'; shampoo by Pantene, I've heard good things about it.
I'd suggest Head %26amp; Shoulders... They probably have something to help with the greasy roots. May I also suggest cutting your hair to around your shoulders and layering it? That way your ends will be healthy! And use a really moisturizing conditioner to keep them from breaking. Also, I read in a magazine awhile ago that split ends might be a sign that you're not eating enough protein...
well if you dont have layers get layers and curling your hair may be a little easier
As far as your split ends are concerned, there's no such thing as miracle shampoo that can repair damaged or plit ends, I don't think it'd be too much to just got a salon for trim to get your ends off. It'll grow back anyways... ( hair grows at a rate of 1/2'; per month) as far as greasy roots are concerned shampoos that use tea tree oils are good for oily scalps. Plus tea tree oil cools you off in the shower too. For hairstyles, I would recommend half updos and trying variations of braids, like doing two small braids from each front section and joing them together at the back like a crown. Just take a look at the pics below...





These are some braid variations:
