Hair care is a billion dollar booming business. Straight or curly, long or short, thick or fine - there are products out there for every hair type. In addition to improvements in shampoos and conditioning treatments, hair care today is about transforming, improving and maintaining hair's health. Here are some innovations in hair care that help solve common hair issues.

Hair Repair

Heat, sun, and overstyling can all contribute to hair problems. Brittle, dry hair used to be difficult to manage, but today there are a line of hair care products that actually help repair the hair shaft and look of the hair. From dietary supplements to serums and hair masks, it's easy to bring brittle, dry hair back to life. Look for products with natural oils, keratin and vitamin A, which all help moisturize and coat hair strands.

An age old problem for many women is frizzy hair. Anti-frizz products have been around for several years, but they have improved over time. There are lightweight anti-frizz products today that don't weigh the hair down. Depending on the thickness and volume of your hair, you should go for different smoothing products. If your hair is fine, choose a silkening mist, and use before blowdrying. If your hair is more coarse, look for cremes infused with olive or almond oil, which leave the hair smooth, silky and manageable.

For those with fine hair, there are a variety of thickening products on the market to help create the look of volume. From thickening lotions that are used before blow drying to shampoos, conditioners and serums to help promote hair growth, thin hair can take on a thicker more luxurious look with the newest products. Look for products free of chemicals,sulfates, and dyes since these can make thinning hair worse. Grapeseed, amino acids and keratin are ingredients you should look for to help create thick, strong hair.
