How to Use Hair Serum Capsules for Frizz and Shine

Frizz, dull ends and rough-feeling hair after heat styling are common problems. Hair serum capsules are small, single-use capsules of hair oil that you open and smooth through your lengths. Here is how to use hair serum capsules so your hair looks smooth and shiny, not greasy.

What hair serum capsules are

Each capsule holds a single dose of hair oil, often with ingredients such as argan oil, jojoba oil, a keratin complex or vitamins, as listed on each product. The capsule keeps the oil fresh and makes it easy to use the right amount. They are applied to the hair, not swallowed.

How to use them

1. Patch test a small amount on your skin first.
2. Open a capsule by twisting or snipping the tip, as described on the pack.
3. Squeeze the oil into your palm and rub your hands together.
4. Apply to the mid-lengths and ends, where hair is driest. Most listings say to avoid the scalp.
5. Style as usual. Blow dry, air dry, or use it on dry hair to tame flyaways.

How many capsules to use

• Short or fine hair: one capsule, or even part of one.
• Medium hair: one capsule.
• Long, thick or coily hair: one to two capsules.

Follow the directions on each product; some are designed for weekly use, others for after every wash.

Damp or dry hair?

• Damp hair: spreads easily and helps reduce frizz as hair dries.
• Dry hair: good for smoothing flyaways and adding shine after styling.

Using on wigs and extensions

Human hair wigs and bundles can become dry because they do not get natural scalp oils. A small amount of serum on the lengths can help them look smoother. Keep oil away from lace, tape, glue and bonds.
