How Do You Use Wavy Hair Serum?

Using hair serum correctly on wavy hair can enhance its natural texture, add shine, and control frizz. Here's how:

Steps for Applying Wavy Hair Serum

Dispense a Small Amount: Start with a dime-sized amount of serum in your palm. You can always add more if needed, but it's easier to add than to remove excess product.
Warm It Up: Rub the serum between your palms for about 5 seconds. This helps to evenly distribute the product and makes it easier to apply.
Apply to the Ends and Mid-Lengths: Focus the serum on the ends of your hair, working your way up to the mid-lengths. Avoid applying serum directly to your roots, as this can make your hair look greasy.
Distribute Evenly: Use your hands to gently spread the product through your hair, ensuring even distribution. You can also use a wide-tooth comb to help distribute the serum, especially if you have thicker hair.
Scrunch (Optional): If you want to enhance your waves, gently scrunch your hair upwards after applying the serum.

Use Sparingly: A little goes a long way. Overuse can weigh down your waves and make them look oily.
Apply to Damp or Dry Hair: Serum can be applied to damp hair before air-drying or diffusing, or to dry hair to tame frizz and add shine. Experiment to see what works best for your hair.
Choose the Right Serum: Look for serums formulated for wavy or curly hair. These often contain ingredients that enhance waves and control frizz without weighing hair down. Ingredients like argan oil, coconut oil, or lightweight silicones are often beneficial.
Avoid the Roots: As mentioned before, applying serum to the roots can lead to a greasy appearance. Focus on the areas that need the most hydration and frizz control, typically the ends and mid-lengths.
Experiment with Application Techniques: Try different application techniques like "praying hands" (gliding the serum between your palms down the hair shaft) or scrunching to find what gives you the best results.
Consider Your Hair Type: Fine wavy hair needs a lighter serum than thick wavy hair. Choose a product that suits your hair's density and porosity.
Use as a Finishing Product: Serum is best used as a finishing product after you have styled your hair. It helps to seal the cuticle, adding shine and reducing frizz.

By following these steps and tips, you can effectively use hair serum to enhance your wavy hair, leaving it looking healthy, defined, and frizz-free.
