I would like to know if there is anyone out there who can tell me how to keep my hair form breaking off . i have tried using anti breaking things but that dont work . I would like my hair to come past my shoulders but it seems to stay the same way every year . i dont need hair down to my butt but i would like to keep the hair that i have without it ending up in the come or the brush. i dont want to get no perms the make your hair break off also but i know that it is hard to go without a perm and i have relasped a time or two . anyone with some suggestions pleas let me know .

I'm a white girl, but my hair breaks too. I hate it. I can't grow it long like when I was a kid.
I've been using coconut oil or silicon oil on it to help prevent breakage. The coconut oil is really good and it doesn't cost a lot. I also use it on my dry skin. I got the idea to try it from one of my African American girl friends. It works better than all the expensive hair creams.
Taking fish oil pills is supposed to help, but the capsules are to big for me to swallow. They are huge.
If your hair is breaking you might want to get a thyroid test done. Hair breakage is one sign of having a low thyroid.
