How did you stop your breakage?

in Curly Teens
My hair has been on and off curly for about 2 years. The I got a perm in October because I couldn't take my unruly hair. Now my mom is making me grow it out because its breaking but I hate the braids she makes me wear!! So what can I do so I don't have to wear the dumb braids!! Help!

My father was in the navy, and we got stationed overseas in Spain. My mother thought it would be a good idea to get me a relaxer right before the move. WRONG. We were there for three years, and I wore my hair in buns for three years. I couldn't straighten it or anything. When my mom realized my hair was just breaking off...I had to wear it in protective styles. Now that my relaxer is all out (Grew it out, and cut off the relaxed bit...) it's much healthier and I'm glad that ugly period in my life is over with.

I don't shampoo very often, just run through with conditioner, and usually that is Trader Joe's (I forget the whole name, but it's fairly cheap and sulfate free)
Then while it's wet, I run some Kinky Curly Curling custard through it and let it air dry. Then while it's still damp, I run a little argan oil through my hair to make it shinier.

I didn't straighten my hair because I was afraid to damage it any further.
