With the ‘hair theory’ trending all across Tiktok and Instagram, we can clearly see the role our hair plays in our appearance. I’ve always stated the importance of smooth tresses in one’s personality. Hair hydration is not just about achieving lustrous locks, it is also crucial in the overall health of your locks. One of the easiest ways to achieve this is by adding hair oils and serums into your hair care routine. In this blog, let’s explore the world of hair oils and serums and the way it benefits our hair.
The Power of Hair Oils
Our dadis and nanis always repeat one thing, “Oil your hair, beta”, and for good reason. Hair oils have various nutrients and minerals that we may or may not receive from our diet. Let’s take a look at the different hair oils that are great for our locks.
Coconut Oil: Everyone’s favourite, always on the top of the pyramid, the one and only coconut oil. Due to its deep penetrating properties, coconut oil nourishes and moisturizes hair while also reducing protein loss. It also strengthens hair and gives it shine and lustre. This oil is the best for dry and damaged hair.
Argan Oil: Another essential in the world of haircare, argan oil is rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids. It adds shine, repairs split ends and reduces frizz.
Jojoba Oil: While this oil is naturally produced by our scalp to an extent, application of it externally moisturizes the hair and prevents dandruff. If you have an oily scalp, using jojoba oil is a good choice to balance oil production.
Olive Oil: While this oil is very good to cook your food in, it is also brilliant for your scalp. It works wonders for brittle and over processed hair. Additionally, it softens, conditions and adds shine to your locks.
Castor Oil: Castor oil is known for its hair growth properties, alongside hydrating and strengthening hair.
Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil: This oil has been used in Chinese medicine for eons. It contains about 60 antioxidants, various vitamins and over 20 minerals. As such, it helps with hair growth, helps with dandruff, stimulates blood circulation, moisturizes hair, reduces hair fall, and so much more. Just to chip in a bit, all of Keraology’s products contain sea buckthorn berry oil in it. Guess this is my way of convincing you to add products to your cart, haha.
The Magic of Hair Serums
Hair serums are lightweight products that help control frizz, add shine and lustre to the locks and also protect them for environmental stressors. Following are the reasons why you should include hair serums to your hair wash routine.
Frizz Control: If you suffer from frizz the second you step out of the house, a hair serum is simply your bestfriend. Serums create a protective barrier for your hair and seal the hair cuticles inside, thus preventing humidity in the environment from causing frizz.
Instant Hydration: Serums make the locks looks healthy and glossy by giving it an instant boost of hydration. They work best on dry and frizzy hair.
Enhances Shine: If you want glossy locks that shine even without the ‘golden hour’, go for hair serums!
Heat Protection: Applying a serum on your tresses before using heat to style it protects your hair from damage and hair fall.
So, what are you waiting for? You now know exactly how to tailor your haircare routine! Go get those elegant locks, sister!
