Hair serums demystified: Guide to help you choose one based on your hair type

According to Banodkar, anti-frizz serums present in the market help protect against humidity and are great for those with curly, wavy, or even frizzy hair. “People with dry hair should look for hydrating serums when going on a skincare spree. They help lock in moisture while successfully combating dryness caused by the cold weather,” he said.

Banodkar recommended volumising serums for those with flat hair. These can work best to give hair that extra volume. “In case, if your hair is damaged, then applying a bond-repairing serum can be beneficial for strengthening your damaged locks,” he said.

Which are the most ideal serums to be used during winter?

During winter, the temperature drops, and humidity levels decrease significantly. This can lead to dryness in both the hair and scalp, further aggravated by indoor heating, which can cause more harm to your hair than you might expect. In such cases, Banodkar recommended using hydrating hair serums, as they help maintain moisture levels while preventing excessive dryness and roughness. “These serums act as protective shields, safeguarding hair from harsh environmental conditions,” he said, adding, “When in doubt, always consult a dermatologist to find the serum best suited for your hair type and concerns.”
