Which Serum Is Best for Hair?

September 04, 2020

If you are serious about your hair care routine, you've probably heard about the advantages of hair serums. Hair serums are a quick solution to hydrate dry strands and keep hairdos in place, so they've become a common sight at hair salons. For most brands in the industry, hair serums are essential items in their collection of professional hair products, with sophisticated formulas tailored to match different types of hair. If you want the perfect addition to optimizing your regular hair care treatment, we have all the information you need to know about hair serums, their composition, and the right way to use them.

What is a Hair Serum?

Known for being useful anti-frizz solutions, hair serums are styling formulas that help maintain the hair knot-free while adding shine and smoothing the strands. Compared to other hair care products, hair serums act on a surface level without penetrating the hair cuticles. Still, they are infused with many restorative ingredients that simultaneously protect the hair and improve its look.

While it's unlikely for a hair serum to cause hair damage or other side effects, the wrong formula can still result in wasted money and no improvements. You should also consider that certain serum formulas are meant to work only under certain conditions. Many serums, for example, must be applied while the hair is still damp and right before using a blow drier to simplify the styling process without increasing the risks of damage. Likewise, some hair serums are limited to a particular hair type or hair treatments provided by a professional hairstylist.

You need to know what your hair needs before choosing a product. Otherwise, you probably won't see a significant improvement by using a hair serum alone. If you know how to complement them with regular washing and brushing, hair serums can be a great addition to condition your strands back to health. Here are some of the most important benefits you get when you use the right hair serum:

• Stimulate Hair Growth: Hair serums hold the hair fibers together and this contributes to hair growth since thicker hairs result in more volume. They can help your strands grow longer without getting brittle/split ends in the process.
• Revitalize dry strands and repair damage: Dry hair usually has a very dull appearance; it looks frizzy and feels rough to the touch. Hair serums act quickly and restoring their shine and softening their texture. The right combination of nutrients helps hair serums restore follicular cracks, preventing breakage and making the hair stronger. They can also help you minimize some of the damage caused by heat styling tools and hair dyes.
• Make the hair shiny and lustrous: Hair serums are often the finishing touch of a professional hair care service because of their instant effects. They help you maintain your hair's shape, which is very handy if you're going for a particular hairstyle. With a hair serum in place, the hair also stays shiny and soft through dust, grime, humidity, and sun exposure.
• Keep fly away hairs in place: As mentioned above, hair serums help you tame your hair so it doesn't lose its shape. This includes fly-aways that usually grow unevenly after suffering breakage. Hair serums are a quick way to avoid frizz and reduce the number of knots.
• Don't wear the hair down: Showers usually bring down the hair, and it can be hard to bring our locks back into place. Despite their oily consistency, hair serums aren't sticky, so the hair doesn't grow greasy after application. Hair serums help control the hair as it dries.
• Can be applied in little time: Hair serums are ideal if you don't have much time to spare in your daily routine. You can spread a few drops of the serum either by massaging your strands with your fingers or with a comb, and it usually takes less than ten minutes for the serum to reach all the strands.

Best Hair Serums for You

If you have oily hair, it's in your best interest to regulate the production of sebum on your scalp. In this case, it's best to use a lighter formula with essential oils like lemon, jojoba, and peppermint. These ingredients can still hydrate the hair without adding to the greasiness that usually accumulates on the roots.

When you have dry hair, the strands take a coarser texture and lose flexibility. As a result, dry hairs are more prone to breakage and more likely to get split ends. You can afford to use thicker and creamy oils on dry hair since a high oil concentration will make up for the sebum that's not reaching the hair shaft. Keratin has many restorative properties to reduce hair damage. Castor oil and rosewood are also effective moisturizers.

Jojoba, argan, and almond oil are ideal ingredients to treat curly hair, while also providing extra care against toxic elements and excessive heat. The Ultimate Hair Serum integrates many of these natural ingredients to provide deep hydration and revitalize damaged hair. You can apply the hair serum at any stage of your hair care routine to make your strands shinier, softer, and stronger. The restorative properties of the serum have a healing effect that goes deep within the strands, making them easier to comb without risking breakage in the process. You can either smooth straight hair or shape your curls if your hair is more on the wavy side.

Here are some useful tips to make the best of your hair serum:

• You can apply the serum before or after showering. You can also use it with your shampoo or other natural hair care treatments.
• Apply from mids to ends. While dry hair might absorb the serum faster, you probably won't need more than 3 pumps to spread it on the strands. A wide-toothed comb can come in handy to help you spread the serum if you have a lot of hair to work with.
• You can brush your hair once you finish applying or use the serum to detangle the strands after the shower.
  
• The serum can be left on your hair after application. Do not rinse it off.
  
• Can be used daily.
