How to Use Hair Serum for Hair Growth
Once you’ve picked the right hair serum for your hair type, the important step now is knowing how to use it. Here are our Beauty Pro tips for using hair serum:
-
Don’t always apply hair serum directly to the scalp. Applying hair serum directly to the scalp can cause build-up and scalp irritation. Apply your chosen hair serum to your hair strands, particularly the ends and mid-lengths of your hair. If you want to nourish the scalp, we’d instead recommend a scalp treatment.
-
Leave it on overnight for optimal results - You can leave hair serums on overnight if you want a more intensive treatment.
-
Apply serum to wet hair. Your hair is more susceptible to absorption when wet, so it’s a good idea to apply hair oil just after washing and conditioning. This helps lock in moisture and restore any nutrients stripped from the hair during shampooing.
How to increase hair thickness and growth: BeautyPro Tips
-
Take a break from heat styling. Heat styling can cause hair breakages, so hold off on the hot tools for a while in order to maximize hair growth.
-
Scalp massages. Regular scalp massages can help stimulate the hair follicles and lead to increased hair growth.
-
Eat a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are great for the hair, so incorporating these healthy fats can aid hair growth and thickness.
