If the hair is genuinely breaking rather than the growth slowed; you may be experiencing mechanical damage.
You should trim your hair every 6-8 weeks and use deep conditioning mask weekly. Minimise (ideally stop) all heated styling tools and be careful how your hair is tied back. I like the Invisibles as they spread the surface area of potential damage.
To strengthen your hair from within, be sure to consume plenty of protein.
