It looked good for a couple of months but now parts are starting to turn brown. It has full sun and I have been watering it every day. . Can I get information on how to save this plant and the proper care?
I'm thinking too much water. Is the plant in a pot sunk down in the trunk or is the trunk filled with potting soil and compost? It needs to be well draining or root rot can set in. I would let the soil dry out between waterings. Here is info that should help:

sun, but also salt air and coastal wind? thanks much; I was unable to figure out how to upload photos after many attempts, (tech challenged)
They will do well almost anywhere! The only thing that I would suggest will be to apply shade cloth during the Summer. The heat can be a bit rough on them.

Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. It sounds a bit like you have a soil infection. This will require fungicides, or solarization, or both for good measure!
Here are some articles that will help:

Make sure that your soil has adequate time to dry out, thoroughly, down to about 2 or 3 inches between waterings. This will prevent future infections.

I have this in my garden and I got it from bunnings. I love them and want to get more but I can’t fine what kind of hebe it is. I have attached a photo and would love some help on finding the right one.
There are so many it would be impossible to guess the cultivar. You might find it in the Hebe Society website.

w bare twiggy centres? They are not very attractive like this.
It would seem that the neighboring plants have stretched, as well! This will indicate that the area does not receive quite enough light, or could mean that the area remains too moist. Usually, it is more of a response to a lack of light.
If it is not possible to provide extra light to the area, then it may be necessary to find plants for the area that can handle a shaded area.It is not a good idea to tie them up, together, since that can be the perfect breeding grounds for bad microbes.
