If you struggle with dry and frizzy locks, you will certainly think of hair serum as a magic potion. This liquid makes your strands shiny as well as manageable in just a few seconds. Because we live busy, stressful lives, we don’t have the necessary time to take care of your hair properly. This is why hair serums gain more and more popularity. Below, you will discover more useful details about how this haircare solution works and best picks to choose from.

What Is Hair Serum & How It Works?

Hair serum is an effective hair care product that can be bought in a liquid form. However, it is quite thick when it comes to its consistency. Being a silicone-based product, it creates a protective coat on your locks’ surface. Unlike essential oils, hair serums don’t penetrate the hair follicles. Most serums prevent your locks from getting tangled. Moreover, the best brands also provide protection against sunlight and pollutants.

It is not important to only find the best serum you can afford. You must also know the proper way to apply it, to obtain maximum results.

How to Apply Hair Serum?

Use a paddle brush to spread the hair serum all over your strands. You shouldn’t use your fingers to do that. Also, the serum shouldn’t touch your roots. Firstly, you need to find the right hair serum that suits your locks’ needs. Then, you must wash your hair before applying the serum. This product works effectively only if applied on shampooed hair. Even though it helps disentangle or even style your locks, the serum’s main use is to nourish your strands. So, it doesn’t clean your hair.

Usually, you don’t need more than six drops of hair serum. If you have shorter or less dense hair, even two drops will suffice. After washing your hair, towel-dry it. Pour those serum drops in your palm and rub it until it covers both your palms. Flip your hair forwards before applying the liquid. Focus on your hair’s tips, by massaging them, because the serum works miracles on split ends. Flip your hair back, and apply some additional drops, this time focusing on the rest of your locks, not only its tips.

Main Benefits of Hair Serum

  • Protects your hair from sunlight exposure, pollutants, dust, the wind, and other elements.
  • Forms a protective shield on your locks’ surface.
  • Contains amino acids which make your hair healthier, repairing any damage it might have.
  • Makes your hair look shinier and smoother.
  • Disentangles your locks, which prevents breakage and lowers hair fall.
  • Lasts until your next hair wash and protects it for days.

Top 3 Hair Serum Picks

Rodin Olio Lusso Luxury Hair Oil

This is an ultimate premium brand in hair luxury. It contains a mix of no less than eight essential oils such as sunflower and sweet almond. You can say goodbye to damaged and dull hair.

Carol’s Daughter Monoi Oil

Just a couple of drops of this hair serum will strengthen your strands, due to its special formula that contains a Tahitian oil blend. It undoes the damage created by heat and chemical hairstyling products. Your hair will not become flat ever again, but it won’t be frizzy either.

Moroccanoil Treatment Light

This is one of the most popular haircare products in the world. It can be used for multiple purposes. For example, you can apply it on colored hair, use it as an extensions’ detangler, or even as a finishing product.

Let’s Recap

If you want to get rid of the frizzy, tangled, dry and dull hair, you should use a hair serum. It will make a huge difference in your styling process. You should be careful what kind of products you use because they must match your hair type as well as your kind of hair issues. I hope all the above details will be helpful for you!
