What are hair serums
As oil keeps our scalp nourished, similarly serums work on the surface health of the hair.

Hair type and serums
Dry and frizzy hair: Look for ingredients like marula that provide hydration. Marula oil is rich in protein and is easily absorbed by skin and hair.
Hair breakage: Look for keratin (a type of hair protein) for protection against breakage.
Environmental hazards and chemically treated hair: Use serums with coconut oil and green tea extracts to help the hair recover from the damage.
Curly hair: This is very difficult to manage as you need an extra dose of hydration. Serums with jojoba oil, sweet almond or argan oil help with this type of hair.
