One of my daughters really got the hair lottery. It's thick, naturally very light blond with some darker highlights, slightly wavy, and also slightly fine. This means she has lots of hair to work with, it doesn't

break easily, it takes dyed color very well, it has some bounce to it, and it's easy to come through. While not everyone can be as lucky with genetic hair traits, there are ways to improve hair health.

One way to protect your hair is to make sure you are using high-quality hair care products. This can help avoid build-up in your hair. With all of the great technology out there, even combs and brushes can be tailored to your hair type - whether that's curly, wavy, frizzy, or more.

How you wash and style your hair is also important. Heat can be hard on your hair, so low- or no-heat options are good. You also don't want your shower temperature to be too hot - just above body temperature will be hot enough to clean your hair without damaging it. Cool water can help lock in moisture from conditioners. Be gentle with your hair while brushing and combing, especially when wet.

The right products to hold your hair make a difference. Obviously plain rubber bands are not great for your hair - they'll tangle easily and can cause breakage. Consider styling your hair differently every day so you don't always have a ponytail in the same spot. There are a lot of options for hair ties that use different materials to help protect your hair too.

An appropriate cut for your hair type is also important. Even if your hair is healthy, certain haircuts can be more or less flattering or look fuller. Choosing the right haircut for your hair and face type can also give you a boost of confidence.

Finally, there are a variety of products specifically designed to enhance your hair. Some help with volume, some create softer waves or help hair maintain texture, others help with hair growth by

promoting follicle health, and others help prevent hair breakage. You can even try scalp massage. All of these things can help, especially if you have thin or fine hair.
