why serum is used for hair - #38338
I am really confused about my hair lately. I had this nice volume and shine but then, out of nowhere, it just started looking dull and lifeless. A friend mentioned that she started using a serum, and her hair looks amazing now – like, super shiny and healthy! I’m wondering why serum is used for hair in the first place? Like, does it actually help, or is it just another beauty trend? I read somewhere that it can help with frizz and split ends, but I need more info. I went to the salon last week trying to figure out if my hair problem was nutrition or something. They suggested some fancy products, but none had the word “serum” in them. I just feel like I'm running around in circles. My hair is dry, it breaks easily, and the ends look like I’ve been using fire on them, which obviously I haven’t! When I googled "why serum is used for hair", I saw people talking about the benefits like making hair manageable and treating damage, but how can a serum accomplish that? Do I need to use it daily? Can I just slap it on and forget about it? 🤔 Any insights on this would really help! I'm really looking for something to save my hair before it becomes a lost cause!

Hair serums serve a purpose beyond just a passing beauty trend. They are designed to create a protective layer over hair strands, combating issues like dryness, frizz, and split ends. A hair serum aims to smoothen the cuticle of each hair strand, reflecting light and thus making hair appear shinier and healthier. The serum often contains silicone-based compounds, essential vitamins, and nourishing oils that facilitate this effect.
Giving your hair a serum treatment can improve the overall manageability of your hair. In Ayurveda, hair health is greatly influenced by the balance of the doshas, particularly the Vata dosha. Dryness and breakage could be a manifestation of high Vata, which may result from diet, stress, or environmental factors. A serum helps lock in moisture, addressing dryness that often leads to breakage.
It’s not necessary to apply serum daily, though. It’s often recommended to use it post-wash when hair is damp. This allows the serum to better penetrate and seal in moisture. Depending on your hair type, using it 2-3 times a week should suffice. Using too much can cause a greasy look, so just a few drops can go a long way.
Concerning application, it’s best to start from the mid-lengths of the hair and work towards the ends. Avoid putting it on your scalp, as this can make the roots appear oily. Also, using serum alongside a healthy Ayurvedic diet rich in healthy fats, like ghee, nuts, and seeds, can improve your hair’s natural luster from the inside out.
If frizz and split ends still troubles you, consider incorporating Ayurvedic herbs like Amla, Bhringraj, and Brahmi into your hair care routine. These can be used in oils or shampoos to complement the effects of a serum by nourishing the hair and scalp. Prioritize maintaining a balanced lifestyle and routine—keeping Vata in check. Use the serum for added protection and shine, but support it with good nutrition and holistic care.
