If you think that your skincare routine was difficult? Well, hair care can be even more tiring if you don’t have the right serum in your beauty kit.

According to Delhi-based hairstylist, Rod Anker hair serum is “typically an oil-based product that softens and soothes the cuticle layer of the hair.”

Like shampoos, conditioners, and masks, serums are made to tackle different hair concerns as well—while some may work on multiple needs at once, others target specific uses, he told the cosmopolitan magazine. They are used to control frizz, set hairstyles, and protect the hair from environmental aggressors.

Looking at the advantage of hair serum, many of us apply hair serum in large numbers but that’s not the way to do it.

It’s important to understand that over-applying hair serum would do no good. You will only need a pea-size amount of serum if you have thin or oily hair and a little more if your hair is on the thicker and drier side.

Also, it should be applied to fresh, washed, and damp hair. This way it adds a layer of protection to your hair. One should start with the ends of your hair and move towards the middle sections of your hair. Do not apply serum to your scalp as it can make your hair look oily and greasy.
