ok, everyday styling and relaxing is wut causes breakage. 2 keep hair from breaking, get it cut 1/2 an inch every 6 weeks and whenever u go 2 relax ur hair, just 2 touch it up, use on roots only 2 keep it from ruining all of ur hair. keep it washed and use a strong leave in conditioner once every one or two weeks. hope i helped :-)

Seems like you're putting it up in ponytails a lot. I had this problem. To fix it, I cut my hair (if you don't want to cut a lot of length off, get it trimmed regularly), which got rid of the damaged hair AND kept me from pulling it up. You also have to keep your hair moisturized, especially the ends, and avoid using too much heat and chemicals on your hair. To keep it from breaking further, use shampoos and conditioners that are formulated specifically for damaged and over-processed hair.
