can hair serum be used daily - #23352

Shlok

I am really curious if anyone else is dealing with this. For the past few months, I’ve been using this hair serum my friend recommended, and it’s kinda been a game changer for my frizzy hair. My hair was all over the place, and honestly, I was about to chop it all off! But now, I've been hearding that some people say you should be careful about how often you use it. Can hair serum be used daily? I’ve been applying it every morning after I shower, but then I started to worry maybe I'm overdoing it. Sometimes my scalp feels a bit oily but my hair looks great otherwise! I googled around and they say it depends on the serum... like some are heavy with oils while others are more lightweight. Can hair serum be used daily without causing buildup? I just feel like if my hair is looking good, why not keep it up, right? But I also don’t want to mess it up, it’s so frustrating trying to figure out if I should cut back. Can hair serum be used daily and still be effective? Any advice would be super helpful, thanks!

Doctors' responses

The frequency with which you use hair serum depends quite a bit on the type and formulation of the serum itself, as well as your individual hair and scalp type. Many hair serums are designed to tackle frizz, add shine, or protect against damage, and they come with varying levels of oils or silicones. Generally, lightweight serums made primarily for frizz control or heat protection can be used daily without causing buildup, especially if they’re formulated to absorb quickly. However, serums that are richer or contain heavy oils might lead to an build-up on your hair and scalp if applied too frequently. With the ‘oily’ feeling you’ve sometimes noticed on your scalp, it might be a sign that your particular serum is a bit too heavy for daily use, or perhaps you’re using a bit too much of it with each application. You could adjust by applying a smaller amount or less frequently; try every other day to monitor if this change improves the oiliness without sacrificing the benefits. Remember to check the product’s ingredients and recommendations, and see if there’s a specific usage guideline. A deep-cleansing shampoo used once a week, or whenever you feel the buildup, can also help maintain a clean scalp while using your serum consistently. If you start to notice changes like more oily hair or scalp irritation, it might be a good idea to reassess the frequency or even try another product that matches your needs better. Nonetheless, if your hair looks and feels good and you don’t experience any discomfort, sticking to your routine with slight adjustments might just be all you need.
