Cut a good 3-4 inches off depending on how long your hair is now. Its not going to maintain any growth with the way it is now since it's all breaking off. Instead of just straight teasing, sprinkle a product like Big Sexy Hair's powder play throughout your hair. You'll have to tease less to begin with as it kind of thickens your hair and gives it some grit. you won't have to go back in and tease because it holds the tease really well and just fluff your hair with your hands to get it back to full volume.
Once you're done for the day, soak your hair and then verrrrryyyyyyy liberally cover it in deep conditioner and work from the ends up detangling with either your hands or a wide tooth comb. But be VERY careful because your hair is extra fragile when it's wet but unless I get it wet and smother it in deep conditioner, nothing works. Starting from the ends is helpful because then you don't find yourself just yanking through the heaviest part of the tease, you can work through it instead.
Keep up with a good hair routine. I second the recommendation of using a clarifying shampoo once a week. Neutrogena makes a really good one that isn't too expensive. Then use a moisturizing conditioner and a high quality leave in. My personal favorites are It's a 10 and Pureology Color Fanatic(even if you don't color your hair this is amazing)
