Hair Serums & Oils

Hair serums and oils have surged in popularity over the past decade. This is largely because hair experts are recognising the benefits of these pint-sized products. In this instance, we completely agree with the hype. So, we’ve decided to help out by compiling the best hair serums and oils available… all in one place!

Before we go any further, we should probably begin by answering one question. What are hair serums and oils? Is there a difference between the two? Well, hair serum is a silicone-based liquid for styling. It can protect from forceful brushing, pollution or sun exposure. Alternatively, hair oil is used for nourishment. It detangles, controls frizz and hydrates. 

Although there are some differences, there’s also a lot of overlap between the products. Both hair serum and hair oil can create shinier-looking hair. Protection against heated tools — such as straighteners, curlers and blowdryers — is common. Additionally, both products are usually applied to wet or damp hair. 

How To Choose Hair Serum & Oil

The diversity of hair serums and oils can be intimidating. So, let’s break it down.

For damaged tresses, there are intensive treatments that nourish and repair on a deep level. These types of serums and oils are especially beneficial for hair subjected to frequent chemical treatments, which can mean frizziness and damage. Simply apply a small amount for a restorative experience.

For fans of hair dye, we’ve found something special. There are products that specifically protect artificial colour to prevent fading and related damage. Repair split ends and natural shine by adding this to your colouring routine. You can also nab a high-end heat protector for prepping tresses before hot tools, such as straightening irons.
As a cherry on top, there’s beard serum for dapper men too.
