How To Use Hair Serum

Using hair serums correctly can greatly improve your hair's health, appearance, and manageability. Here are the steps for applying hair serum effectively:

How to Use Hair Serums

  1. Start with Clean Hair:

    • Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner. Hair serums work best on clean hair as they help to seal in moisture and provide a protective barrier.

  2. Towel-Dry Your Hair:

    • Gently towel-dry your hair to remove excess water. Hair should be damp but not dripping wet when you apply the serum.

  3. Dispense the Serum:

    • Depending on the length and thickness of your hair, dispense 1-2 drops of serum onto your palm. It's better to start with a small amount and add more if needed.

  4. Warm the Serum:

    • Rub your palms together to evenly distribute and warm the serum. This helps the serum to spread more easily through your hair.

  5. Apply to Hair:

    • Run your hands through your hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends where hair tends to be the driest and most damaged. Avoid applying serum directly to your roots or scalp as this can make your hair look greasy.

  6. Distribute Evenly:

    • Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to evenly distribute the serum through your hair. Ensure that all strands are coated, especially the ends.

  7. Style as Desired:

    • You can blow-dry your hair or let it air dry, depending on your preference. Hair serums can protect your hair from heat damage, so they are great to use before styling with heat tools.

  8. Reapply as Needed:

    • If your hair feels dry or frizzy throughout the day, you can apply a small amount of serum to dry hair for added smoothness and shine.

Tips for Using Hair Serums

  • Less is More: Start with a small amount of serum. Adding too much can make your hair look greasy and weigh it down.
  • Choose the Right Serum: Select a serum that is suitable for your hair type and addresses your specific concerns, such as frizz control, shine, heat protection, or damage repair.
  • Avoid the Scalp: Focus on the mid-lengths and ends to avoid making your scalp oily.

By following these steps, you can make the most out of your hair serum, keeping your hair looking healthy, shiny, and manageable.
