Every Pakistani girl has asked this: “Should I use hair oil or serum?” Both promise shiny, healthy hair — but they work in completely different ways. Here’s what you need to know before your next hair-care choice.
💧 Hair Oils — The Traditional Nourisher
Hair oils like coconut or almond are classics. They penetrate deep into the hair shaft, providing nutrition and softness. However, heavy oils can sometimes cause greasiness — especially in humid cities like Karachi or Lahore.
- ✅ Deep nourishment for dry, coarse hair
- ✅ Strengthens roots and reduces scalp dryness
- ⚠ Can weigh hair down if overused
- ⚠ May cause buildup on scalp and dullness over time
🌟 Hair Serums — The Modern Protector
Serums coat the hair surface to smooth frizz, add shine, and protect from pollution and heat. They don’t make hair oily or sticky, making them ideal for daily styling and urban weather.
- ✅ Tames frizz instantly
- ✅ Adds silky shine and smoothness
- ✅ Protects from humidity, UV, and heat tools
- ✅ Lightweight and non-greasy
