I have very long hair, but I don't always know what to do with it. I've been thinking about cutting it, but it would be a shame, I think..
Im 18 now, is this hair still appropriate for my age?
And does anybody know some hairstyles I can try on myself?

I would say you can pull off this hair untill your atleast 30!! Age shouldnt make a difference to how you have your hair. Please dont cut it! Just curl it, big 'goddess' curls i call them. All women should have hair like Godiva, its our right.

Omg I bet every girl out there wishes to have their hair long like that. People say so much money for extensions don't listen to the people around you lmao. You can put your hair up in a bun when it's damp and let it dry out. When it's dry let it down and you'll have natural waves/curls. That how i do my hair(: & I use tousle me softly spray gel from herbal essences. It works great and is really light weight to keep the natural look(:

Too old? I'm 27 and I have hair down my back. Other people use extensions to get hair like mine, I would never cut it. I don't think you should either so long as you keep it healthy and nice looking.

I personally feel like braids are more of a summer look but you can do anything or nothing with long hair. It looks fine as is. Obv styled so its neat but I wear my hair straight and down on a regular day.

You can do braids, sock bun, half up hairstyles (half up bow?) and of course big loose curls with tons of volume. You should keep your long hair as long as you like it, because most girls would kill for long healthy hair!
I have hair tutorials up on youtube, and almost all of them are perfect for those with long hair, so if you want to check them out my channel is http://www.youtube.com/stylestrands

As long as your hair is healthy with no split ends... Then embrace it! High ponytails are always elegant along with a top knot.. But there are plenty of tutorials for long hair (:

I have long hair as well. I'd suggest keeping your hair long. Just make sure you maintain it. No one likes long nappy hair 😉. Check out YouTube for some tutorials and ideas on how to style your hair.
