When it comes to hair care, the very first thing that comes to mind is using different types of oils as a conditioner. But if there's one other product that can work wonders on your hair it has to be hair serum. They come with a plethora of different abilities like helping keep the frizz out of your hair or giving your hair a natural shine or even helping control all the damage done to your hair. But before you decide to invest in a hair serum, you should know everything there is to know about it.

Advantages: Hair serum can work wonders in forming a barrier between your hair and the environment. This ensures that your hair doesn't get damaged any further and is also why stylists insist you use hair serum before using styling or heating tools. It can give your hair a natural shine while also making combing or brushing easier by detangling your hair easily. And the best part is that it also acts as a moisturiser for your hair, thus making it more soft and smooth.

Disadvantages: Unfortunately, hair serums also have their share of disadvantages which includes making your hair look oily or greasy so people with oily scalps really need to be extra careful with hair serums. And too much use of it could also lead to hair fall. Some people also tend to be allergic to serums which could lead to a scalp infection or inflammation. Prolonged use of a hair serum might also react badly with your hair and damage it.

Our take: Invest in serum with nourishing properties but also make sure not to overuse it on your hair. The trick is to help it make your hair look better, not replace washing your hair or taking appropriate care of it. Stay tuned for more updates.
