6. Argan Oil by Virtue
Argan oil has quickly become a must-have beauty ingredient due to its touted benefits for skin and hair care. Used directly on hair or included in shampoos and conditioners, argan oil may help reduce breakage and frizz for silkier locks.
Shilpi Khetarpal, MD cautions that overusing this kind of oil could contribute to seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff). Luckily, other alternatives exist which are just as effective in helping all kinds of scalps.
7. Fable & Mane Intense Hydrating Serum
Hair oil works differently from facial serum, as it gets right to the source of unruly strands to smooth and tame them, while also serving as heat protectors and nourishers for dry or brittle ends.
Pre-wash and as part of a scalp massage routine, this soothing formula contains shea butter for soothing purposes and contains castor oil to thicken hair and ashwagandha to promote circulation and stimulate hair growth. Formulated as an ultralight moisturizer, its powerful yet lightweight properties provide all-day hydration.
8. OGX Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Hyaluronic acid has long been an indispensable element of skin care products and scalp treatments alike, holding 1000 times its own weight in water to effectively hydrate. Now this innovative ingredient is being added to hair products and treatments for smoother, softer strands that look and feel healthier than ever!
Experts advise searching for serums with one to two percent hyaluronic acid concentration – anything lower won’t penetrate strands effectively and anything higher may dry out the skin. All PEOPLE Tested products here contain this optimal range.
