Suave ocean breeze is pretty humectant free except for one tiny ingredient :P Its lactic acid i think but i dunnoo i dont use it anymore i need more moisture. :P
I would try going humectant free OR try using a nice naturals conditioner like the suave ones, not too much, just enough humectant for in the shower and with all the moisture in there during the shower and warmth can help condition the hair, and then baby oil the hair or evoo/baby oil one after the other. Of course when damp.
Check if you're sensitive to protein! I think this needs to be done before having any hair disasters for anyone new to this, this brilliant idea hit my mind a month ago: try shed strand testing! It's the same for henna and dying, so why not try it with your shed hairs and test all these new ways to treat your hair with shed hairs? It'll help save your hair from another disaster so you won't have to go back and forth to change things XD I would advise that for newbies. Collect some hair and try it with that. The only thing you won't have luck with that way is your scalp. You have to check that yourself.
I'd just collect my hair that fell out during the week and when i wash and then experiment on that and see how that hair reacts. It should be the same really minus that you will not have as much sebum all over it on the top where it's attached to the follices.
I have hair from last year and there's no splits on it so...really maybe that's not the case as to why my hair on my head has so many splits XD The washing and manipulation seems to be the culprit :P
Shed hair strand testing might help before deciding to go into things. Just collect hair and then lay it out one by one into a braid or a lock and somehow get it all together in one piece like an extension :P maybe place them on paper and tape
And try an ACV rinse afterwards and dunking the hair in the cup for a few minutes before rinsing from head to ends of hair and then leave it in. It helps close the cuticles which helps retain moisture
Creates slip and causes less frizz, and then the oil helps out too Works for frizz and moisture loss.
Plus you can also try club soda before starting your wash routine, it helps take out minerals. Too much hard water makes my hair frizzy and dull so try that too :P
Check your hard water in your area if you got a filter thats great, soft water is fine!
