Answer 1

your problem may be that you're using so many different products. a lot of chemicals can damage your hair instead of helping it. find a product that will moisturize your hair without adding a lot of alcohol (read the label). Dry hair breaks off easier than moisturized hair...i would recommed a product, but im not sure of your hair type... Also, try not to put too much heat on it, dont curl it everyday. Keep it washed and conditioned... if you're black, its not good to wash your hair every day. you can wash the nutrients out if you do and that causes breakage as well. dont sleep with those elastic hair ties in your hair because that can break it off too... lets see what else... dont add any color to your hair if its breaking because that will just make it worse. try this, take some mayo (yeah real mayo like for a sandwich), a raw egg, beat it together and put it on your hair after you wash it. let it sit for like 15 min, and rinse it out. sounds crazy, works like a dream. good luck :o)

Answer 2

Buy products sporting protein..too much moisture takes that out of your hair. You need an equal balance of both. If you use a curling iron or straightner dont crank it all the way up.
