What's the Difference Between Hair Oil and Hair Serum?
Hair oils and serums are hair care products with different purposes and benefits for your hair. Hair oils are rich and thick, formulated to deeply penetrate and moisturize the hair shaft and scalp. You'll find nourishing options made with Moroccan argan oil to renew, coconut oil to soften and rosemary oil to promote growth. Hair oils are ideal for deep conditioning and long-term hydration.
Hair serums are lighter than oils. These formulations coat the surface of the hair to smooth strands, control frizz, add shine or protect against heat and environmental damage. Consider serums your go-to for everyday styling. They help create a polished finish without weighing your hair down.
How to Use Hair Oils and Serums
CVS carries a wide variety of hair oils and serums to address all your hair goals. Some products are designed to be used on dry hair, damp hair or both. Follow package directions and these general guidelines:
Nourish With Hair Oils
For dry or damaged hair: Apply a dime-sized drop to the mid-lengths and ends of damp or dry hair to lock in moisture.
As a pre-shampoo treatment: Apply oil all over dry hair and scalp 30 minutes to an hour before shampooing. You can also leave the oil on overnight for more intense conditioning.
For frizz control: Use a few drops of oil to smooth flyaways and frizz on dry hair as needed.
Style With Hair Serums
For shine and frizz control: Apply a pea-sized drop of serum to damp hair after washing but before styling. Focus on mid-lengths to ends, and finish with a brush and blow-dryer for a sleek look.
For heat protection: Apply a smoothing serum to damp hair before using your blow-dryer, curling iron or flat iron hair tools.
On dry hair: Apply a few drops of serum to dry hair to tame flyaways and add extra shine.
Best Moisturizing Hair Oils for Dry or Damaged Hair
Hair oils work to deeply nourish strands, restore shine and improve your overall hair and scalp health over time. For the best results, shop according to your specific hair type and treatment goals. At CVS, you’ll find top-rated oils for everything from brittle ends to curl enhancement and color correction. If you have fine hair, try an oil mist from Hask or OGX for weightless hydration that doesn't feel greasy.
