Have you looked at your hair practices to find out why your ends are breaking? The same issues may affect your hair when you are natural.
I remember when I was natural as a child and my hair hated heat - hot irons, blow dryers, curling irons - every thing except hood dryers, so heat training probably would not work for me.
I am relaxed now and I am trying healthy hair practices as a relaxed head. I am more texlaxed than hard relaxed - one time a salon owner wanted to put another relaxer in my hair because it "was not straight enough"!!!! But I can get my hair fairly straight with a good roller set.
I am APL slowly heading to BSL and I have discovered that I needed to get my moisturizing on point and really use protective styles much more - since I have been doing that (not as consistently as I should however) that has thickened up my hair and helped with my ends. Just food for thought.
