If a ponytail has become your solution to the winter-hair blahs, you've come to the right place. Take our simple tests to find out if your strands are damaged and learn the tricks for getting your glossiest, bounciest hair ever.

What's Your Hair Type?

More than half of women don't know what kind of hair they have, and they use the wrong styling products as a result, says Jeni Thomas, PhD, Pantene senior scientist. Figure out where your strands stand with this easy guide.

You have fine hair if... it automatically falls into a part when wet or your strands look thin and delicate. Fine hair is typically straight or wavy.

You have medium-to-thick hair if... it takes more than 20 minutes to blow-dry. Medium-to-thick hair, which can be straight, wavy, or curly, is the most common type.

You have coarse hair if... one strand makes a sound when you roll it between your fingers. Coarse hair feels rough and can be straight, curly, or kinky.

I used to have damaged hair too and I used a lot of different products, but the one that worked for me was Pro Naturals Moroccan Oil Hair Treatment with Heat Protector, it helps strengthen the hair that's prone to breakage, smoothes the hair, reduces Frizz and helps prevent heat damage, plus leaves hair healthy, shiny and resilient. I totally recommend it !!
