Help??? I think my hair is breaking OFF?

So ive recently got a japanese relaxer (thermal reconditioning) and i havnt trimmed my hair in like 7 months and i c my hair is fallin or breaking evry time i comb, brush, or even run my fingers through it. i have a lot of hair its really thick and long so im not tripping about bein bald but i still dnt like to see all the hair on the bathroom floor lol. What should i do?? Get it trimmed? (which im plannin on doin i jus hav a fear of scissirs goin 2 my head :-/ ) Or is there certain products i can use like shampoos or something???? Thanx !!
