First off, you need to take some of the weight off of it. If it's all one length, your curl will flatten no matter what you do. Gravity does work (ha...pun intended).

Secondly, with hair that long, if you're shampooing it every day, subjecting it to heat all the time, putting god-only-knows-what products in it, possibly dying or bleaching it (looks like you have highlights)...it is probably dry as a bone. Take a hair off your brush and see how far you can stretch it before it snaps. If it snaps after less than an inch, it's dry. Dried out hair won't hold a curl very well at all.
