Apply hair serum on damp hair after washing for best results. Here's a detailed guide:
Step-by-Step Application:
- Wash Your Hair: Use a gentle shampoo suited to your hair type. For example, TRESemme Keratin Smooth and Shine is a good option for smoothing. Follow with a nourishing conditioner. Once a week, consider using a hair mask for added hydration.
- Towel Dry Gently: Rinse out the conditioner or hair mask thoroughly. Use a microfiber towel to gently squeeze out excess water from your hair. Avoid harsh rubbing, which can cause damage. Your hair should be damp, not soaking wet.
- Dispense Serum: Put a small amount of hair serum into your palm. The amount will vary depending on hair length and thickness. Start with a dime-sized amount and add more if needed.
- Rub Between Palms: Rub the serum between your palms to evenly distribute it. This helps prevent concentrated application in one area.
- Apply to Hair: Starting mid-length and working towards the ends, apply the serum. Avoid applying it directly to your scalp, as this can make your hair look greasy. Focus on the areas that are most prone to dryness or damage.
- Distribute Evenly: Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to distribute the serum evenly throughout your hair. This ensures that all strands are coated.
- Style as Usual: Style your hair as desired. The serum should help to smooth frizz, add shine, and protect your hair from heat damage if you're using styling tools.
Important Considerations:
- Hair Type: Adjust the amount of serum based on your hair type. Fine hair needs less, while thick or coarse hair may require more.
- Product Type: Different serums have different formulations. Always read the product instructions for specific application recommendations.
- Frequency: How often you apply serum depends on your hair's needs. Some people use it after every wash, while others use it a few times a week.
- Avoid Overuse: Using too much serum can weigh down your hair and make it look greasy. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
