Hair Strand Splits into 2 or 4 Strands

Back in high school which was about three years ago i went through a phase when i would excessively bleach my hair to the point where it was white, then dye it back to brown, and black, and bleach it out again, then dye it back to black etc. I think i bleached my hair about maybe twenty five times throughout three years using the L'Oreal bleaching kits.

However, now i have completely stopped any damage that has to do with chemical processing, drying the hair with high heat, or any curling irons since my hair is naturally straight. I let my hair air dry also. The last time i dyed my hair was back six months ago.

My problem now is that it appears my hair has lost its elasticity, it's prone to breakage and splits into three or four hair strands which makes it thin. I'm going paranoid, and I'm afraid my hair will not grow back to its full strength.

I have gotten a short hair cut, and my dresser says my hair is healthy but I don't think she knows what she is talking about. Anyone with any advice or tips please help me! Please!
