Head retention usually depends on two things- perfectly clean glassware, and the recipe of the beer.
If the glassware has been through the dishwasher or something, it may not be "bar clean". To fix that, make up a salt/water mix in the glass and use the thick mix as a scrub on the glass and rinse well.
To fix a recipe, consider crystal malts, or flaked wheat.

If you are doing extract brews, the only additions I am aware of that can increase head retention are crystal malt and cara-pils.
If you are mashing, you could add wheat malt, flaked wheat, torrified wheat, flaked oats, or flaked barley.
