{"title":"Hair serum ","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA hair serum can give frizzy lengths a smoother finish, make dry ends softer, or provide targeted care for the scalp. \u003c\/strong\u003eChoose a serum for the lengths and ends if you want more shine and manageability, or a scalp serum if it is the skin beneath the hair that you want to care for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHair serum for lengths or scalp?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first thing you can look at is where the serum should be applied. A serum for the lengths is distributed along the hair strands, often from the middle of the hair out toward the ends. It is suitable when the hair feels rough, looks dull, or becomes frizzy after washing. A small amount can also make the ends easier to detangle and give a more even finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA scalp serum is applied directly to the skin, preferably by parting the hair into sections. The consistency is often thin so that the product can be distributed close to the roots. If the scalp feels dry or tight, you can choose a serum with moisture-binding ingredients, for example glycerin. Check the packaging to see whether the serum should be left in or rinsed out and how often it should be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose a hair serum for your hair\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFine hair that easily falls flat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose a thin serum that is easy to distribute in a small amount. Start at the very ends and smooth whatever remains on your hands over the lower lengths. This is especially practical if the ends become dry while you also want to maintain volume closest to the scalp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThick, curly, or frizzy hair\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your hair quickly becomes frizzy as it dries, you can try a softening serum on damp lengths. Feel free to divide the hair into a few sections so that the serum is distributed evenly even in the lower parts. If you have curls, you can scrunch the serum in with your hands to maintain the shape of the curls. A richer consistency may suit you if the hair feels coarse and you want more shine and a smoother finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBleached, colored, or heat-styled hair\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the lengths feel rough after bleaching or frequent heat styling, a smoothing serum can make the hair softer and easier to comb. Silicones such as dimethicone can form a thin layer around the hair strand and reduce friction when you detangle your hair. If you use a straightener, curling iron, or hair dryer, the serum needs to explicitly state heat protection in order to serve that function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the difference between hair serum, hair oil, and hair mask?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHair serum and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hair-oil\"\u003ehair oil\u003c\/a\u003e can both add shine and make the lengths softer. The consistency varies within both categories. A serum can be thin and water-based or have an oil-like feel, while a hair oil can feel light or rich depending on the formula. If you mainly want to smooth frizz in fine hair, you can start with a thin serum. If the ends feel dry and you like a fuller finish, a hair oil may be a good fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hair-mask\"\u003ehair mask\u003c\/a\u003e is usually used in the shower and rinsed out after the processing time. A serum for the lengths is often used after washing and left in. You can use both in the same routine if you want a softer feel after washing and then be able to smooth the ends once the hair has dried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use hair serum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the dosage on the packaging and preferably start with the smaller amount if your hair is fine or short. Here is how you can adapt the application depending on which type of serum you use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn towel-dried hair:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distribute the serum between your palms and smooth it over the lengths and ends.

Massage it in with your fingertips if the product instructions say to do so.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the lengths feel heavy or look greasy after application, you can try a smaller amount next time. You can also limit the serum to the ends, especially if that is where the hair feels driest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about hair serum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you use hair serum every day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany serums for the lengths can be used daily if needed. If you want to freshen up the ends between washes, a small amount is often enough. For scalp serums, follow the recommended frequency of use on the packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould you use hair serum on wet or dry hair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany serums for the lengths work on both towel-dried and dry hair. In towel-dried hair, you can distribute the serum over larger sections. In dry hair, you can apply a smaller amount exactly where you want to reduce frizz or add more shine. Follow the instructions for your serum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan a hair serum repair split ends?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hair serum can temporarily make split ends look smoother and make them softer to the touch. To remove the split part, the end needs to be trimmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you use hair serum and hair oil at the same time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. For example, you can use serum on towel-dried lengths and then distribute a little hair oil through the dry ends. Start with small amounts, especially if the hair is fine or quickly loses volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.koreanbeauty.co.uk\/collections\/inner-ear.oembed","provider":"Koreanbeauty - Your K-Beauty Store Online ♥","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
