Conditioner is a product used after shampooing to make the hair softer, smoother and easier to manage, while serum is a product used on damp or dry hair to help control frizz and add shine.
Both conditioner and serum are used after shampooing, but they have different purposes.
Conditioner is designed to hydrate the hair shaft by replacing the natural oils that are lost during shampooing. Conditioners contain ingredients like fatty acids, proteins and humectants that help to soften the cuticle layer of each strand of hair. This helps make it easier to comb out tangles and makes your hair feel softer and smoother. The best way to apply conditioner is right after shampooing when your hair is still wet; you should work it through from root to tip with a wide-toothed comb or your fingers before rinsing it out thoroughly with warm water.
Serum is a product used on damp or dry hair in order to help control frizz, add shine, reduce breakage, strengthen strands and protect against heat damage. Its usually made up of silicones which coat each individual strand of hair in an ultra-thin layer that helps lock in moisture while providing protection against environmental factors such as humidity. Serums can also contain nourishing ingredients like antioxidants and vitamins which help promote healthier looking locks over time. For best results when using serum on damp or dry hair, start by applying a small amount into the palms of your hands then evenly distribute throughout all sections of your tresses from mid-lengths down to ends avoiding contact with roots if possible then style as usual for smooth frizz free results!
