For dry hair

Excessively dry hair needs extra care and nutrition. The good news is that now there are serums available that can be applied overnight, they revitalise your hair while you get your beauty sleep. But make sure these serums are cream-based and not oil-based.

For curly hair

Curls automatically tend to get frizzier and are difficult to manage. The best serums for wavy and curly hair are those that have intense moisturising properties. To keep those curls bouncy and glossy, pick serums laden with hydrating oils.

For coloured hair

There are lightweight cream-based hair serums that besides silicone contain ingredients like jojoba, argan and coconut oil along with green tea extracts. These work perfectly for coloured and chemically processed hair.

For split-end hair

If you have too many split ends, hair serum is a must to improve the appearance of your hair. But make sure you pick hair serums that contain keratin as it easily repairs annoying split ends and prevents strands from splitting.

How to apply hair serum?

For best results, apply your hair serum to clean and damp hair. All you have to do is take a pea-sized amount of the serum in your palm, warm the serum between your hands for 5 seconds and start applying from the mid-length to the roots. Be gentle and try to spread the product evenly with your hands.
