Hair Serums

Finding the right hair serum for your hair goals

The easiest place to start is the result you want:

• If humidity leaves your hair puffy or flyaway, an anti-frizz serum helps lengths sit smoother for longer. A hair serum for frizzy hair is usually worked through damp lengths before blow-drying, then touched up on dry hair if flyaways creep back.
• Shine serums suit hair that looks dull or flat, giving a glossy, polished finish without heavy styling. For salons, a reliable shine serum is also a handy finisher for blow-dry and styling services.
• Hair repair serums are made for strands that feel dry or brittle after lightening or regular heat styling.

How a scalp serum fits into your routine

A scalp serum works a little differently, since it's applied directly to the scalp in sections and massaged in rather than coating your lengths. It's a good fit if your scalp often feels oily or tight between washes. Several of the scalp serums in our range are made for fine or thinning-looking hair, to help it look fuller and thicker. Keep your usual serum for the mid-lengths and ends, and save the scalp serum for the roots.

Hair serums, hair oils and leave-in treatments

Hair serums and hair oils overlap, and different sources draw the line between them in different ways. The simplest approach is to choose based on the result you want rather than the label on the bottle. Some formulas span both, which is why our oil serums also appear in our hair oil collection.

If your hair needs moisture and easier detangling more than a finishing touch, a leave-in conditioner or treatment is a better first step. Plenty of people use both, applying a leave-in first and finishing with a few drops of serum.

Hair serums are chosen by hair type and goal rather than by who's using them. Most suit any hair, so whether you're shopping for a hair serum for women or a hair serum for men, the same guide applies. Explore the range and find your go-to finish at glamaCo.
