Thanks for your query.
The commonest cause of breaking of hair are:-
1-Excessive dryness of hairs due to heat styling,ironing or curling with heat,
2-Dryness due to lack of conditioning,
3-Pulling of your tangled hairs while combing can cause breakage,
4-Brittle hair occurs when the structural integrity of the hair is weakened by medical illness like anaemia,hypothyroid, nutritional deficiency like vitamin-D,zinc.
5-Breakage in the crown area can occur due to:-
a-styling techniques such as tight ponytails,
b-using elastics with metal piece,
c-using wrong type of hair accessories which can catch and break your hair off.
d-Hair color can also cause breakage.
As a home care you can do these things to prevent breakage:-
1-Daily conditioning with moisturizing treatments like you are using,
2-Usea comb with wide teeth so as to easily work through your hair,
3-Use ponytail holders with no metal parts or covered elastics,
4-Try different styles that don't pull your hairs too tight,
5-Hot oil treatment that is a application of warm oil (a mix of canola oil and olive oil in equal proportion) also helps.
Another important thing you need to do is consult a Dermatologist and get investigated for any underlying medical condition and get treated.
The best treatment for the breakage will be advised by the Dermatologist as per the underlying cause.
