why serum is used for hair - #24150
I am super curious about why serum is used for hair. Lately, I’ve been dealing with this ridiculous frizz and dryness — like no matter what I do, it just feels lifeless. I started using a serum my friend recommended, and it made my hair look kinda shiny for a day, but then it just reverted back to the same old mess. It’s so frustrating! I’ve tried switching up shampoos and conditioners too, but nothing seems to stick. What I don’t get is why serum is used for hair in the first place. Is it just supposed to coat the hair? Like, are there real benefits beyond that quick shine? I mean, I thought it would help with moisture or smoothing at least, but sometimes I feel like I’m just wasting money. Another thing — does the type of serum matter? Would a heavier serum work better for my thick hair, or would that just weigh it down more? I noticed some serums say they're for anti-frizz or heat protection, but honestly, I'm confused. How do I choose the right one? Could it be possible that serum is used for hair is just a marketing ploy? Ugh, I just want to find something that works! Please help!
