Use of hair serum

As the people say, “a braid is a girlish beauty”, so the hair requires careful care. It is necessary to take vitamins, especially in the spring, in the summer not to expose the head of excessive exposure to the sun, not to neglect the restoration procedures. Shampoo is the minimum that is required for care. They are divided into several types depending on the structure of the hair. The next step is the capolausor balm. Only after that you can safely begin to search for additional special equipment (mask, restoring oil, etc.). One of them is hair serum.

What is hair serum

The serum combines the properties of mousse, masks and balm. It is considered one of the most effective express means, gives an instant and long effect, and also perfectly protects, nourishes and restores hair. The components of serums are different, depending on the desired final result, but the main components are vitamins, proteins, vegetable oils and trace elements.

Actively acting substances in the composition are absorbed into the hair and reconstruct it from the inside, saturating the scalp with oxygen. All this contributes to good growth, makes the hair shiny and elastic, prevents the loss, brittleness and such a common problem as second -tips.

Use of hair serum

The purpose of the serum also determines the method of its application. For example, to combat dandruff and seborrhea, the product is applied directly to the skin and the basic part of the head. By purchasing serum in the store, the buyer will be able to get acquainted with the instructions. But we must remember that with an excessive amount of the product, fat content appears on the hair.

Depending on the variety of the product, there are two methods of application - on dry or wet freshly washed hair, while there are several rules:

• it is necessary to apply along the entire length of the hair, only in the direction from the roots to the ends;
• pay special attention to the roots - if they do not process them, then the effect will be minimal;
• rub with soft massaging movements.

Such a care will not take much time and effort. After application, the head must be covered with polyethylene and wound a dense towel. In this position, it is necessary to spend about 30 minutes, during this time, active trace elements and essential oils are absorbed not only into the scalp, but also into the roots and tips. After the indicated time, you need to rinse your hair with cool water, combine and dry it with a hairdryer.

If the serum was selected correctly, then the effect should be instant - a mirror shine will appear, the roots will become much more elastic. To consolidate the result, use this tool for 3 weeks.
