color is a chemical for one thing, but it sounds like u may be getting damage from overlapping the new growth or leaving in the color to long all over the hair. u apply color to the new growth only first, leaving this in and then pull the color through all the hair for the last 5-8 min....if the ends are very dry, i would add some conditioner to the color too. have it done at a salon for best results!
