Dr Pravin Banodkar, dermatologist and co-founder of Skin Beyond Borders (SkinBB, India), says hair serums often contain nutrients like vitamins, proteins, amino acids and natural ingredients that help hydrate, repair damaged hair and at the same time protect hair from external environmental factors like UV rays, pollution or high temperatures.
Serum for curly hair
Anti-frizz serums are great for people with curly, wavy, or tangle-prone hair. For those with dry hair, hydrating serums are ideal, Dr. Banodkar notes, as they help seal in moisture and combat dryness caused by cold weather.
Hair volumizing serum
For those with thin or flat hair, volumizing serums are a great option. These products help to shape the hair and add bounce to it.
Serum for damaged hair
If your hair has been damaged by frequent coloring or heat, a repair serum is the ideal solution. Ingredients such as proteins and vitamins in this serum will help to regenerate, restore and nourish your hair from deep within, giving you strong and healthy hair.
Ideal hair serum for winter
In winter, when temperature and humidity drop sharply, hair and scalp are prone to dryness. Therefore, moisturizing serum is an indispensable product in the cold season, helping to maintain moisture and resolve dry, damaged hair.
"These hydrating serums act as a shield to protect hair from harsh environmental factors. If in doubt, consult a dermatologist to find the right product for your hair type and care needs," shares Dr. Pravin Banodkar.
