I have the right hair hardware, but I need the right hair software? Any

[Tetsusaiga]

recommendations? Ok, I'm 23 male and am part hispanic/white/Native American and a buch other stuff, if this helps. I've been trying to grow my hair long and and it has been going well unilil now that it's almost close to my shoulders and it's starting to get weaker. I Do use a 1-5/8 straightener and use heat protection products to help keep the hair from getting damage from the heat. I use an Active Ionic Dryer to help reduce damage which does good, but my hair still breaks which is starting to annoy me. I used to wash my everyday until I did some research and found out that hair isn't supposed be washed everyday, so I wash it every two days. I tend to lose the most hair when taking a shower which freaks me out. My hair rarely gets tangled and the only time I ever run into a problem with combing is after taking a shower which is still not a big deal because some hairs get stuck but the comb passes through with little effort. Any advice and recommendations would be greatly appeciated.
