Summary

Using a hair serum to care for your lengths

Hair serums are quite popular among regenerative products for the ends of the hair. Easy to use, no-rinse, and in a small format, these serums can be used in the morning, and they slip easily into your handbag for access at any time during the day to give your hair a quick boost.

This version of the hair serum is generally used to smooth, tame and add shine to hair.

In terms of ingredients, there are nourishing plant and mineral oils which tame the hair, and hydrating agents. One or two drops of serum is all you need to nourish your lengths without adding weight or grease. These hair serums are versatile and can be used on damp or dry hair, before or after blow-drying. Or just for a quick fix.

Using a hair serum to redensify hair mass from the root

To counteract the effects of hair aging, you have to get to the root of the problem... This means starting with the scalp, where the hair takes root.

This type of hair serum is mainly designed to coat and mechanically increase the hair diameter. Unlike the serum designed to care for lengths, this serum is used on the base of the hair. It can be applied section by section and massaged into the scalp. It then acts in two phases: from the first application, it coats the hair to add instant texture, then with each additional application its active ingredients act at the core of the hair follicle to stimulate growth and protect the hair. This twofold promise is possible thanks to the ingredients with antioxidant anti-aging properties such as ginseng, vitamin B5, vitamin F and albizia.

Choose the right hair care routine

The right application method? A serum can be applied to damp or dry hair, right after shampooing. A hair serum combined with scalp massage has a redensifying effect on the hair. As a result, your hair will be easier to style, with much less breakage.
