How to Use Hair Serums for Frizz Control, Shine, and Heat Protection

Let’s talk about the little magical bottle that does a whole lot more than just add shine. A good hair serum isn’t just a finishing touch, it’s a multitasking treatment that supports smoothness, strength, and even heat protection.

And when it’s made with water-soluble, non-greasy conditioning ingredients and nourishing oils like argan and macadamia, you get all the benefits without the buildup.

So what is hair serum?

Hair serum is a lightweight styling product that coats the hair shaft to smooth frizz, add gloss, and protect against moisture loss and heat damage. But not all serums are created equal. Some rely on heavy, non-soluble silicones that coat the hair and weigh it down.

BodFood’s Shine & Moisture Hair Serum uses a combination of dimethiconol, cyclomethicone, macadamia and argan oils, which makes the formulation water-soluble, meaning it rinses clean and doesn’t cause product buildup. It's also packed with those certified organic oils to nourish as they protect.

When to use it

Post-wash: Apply to damp hair, mid-lengths to ends, before blow-drying or air drying. This helps lock in moisture and creates a barrier before heat styling.
On dry hair: Use a tiny amount to tame flyaways and refresh your style between washes.
Before swimming or being in wind/sun: A light coat helps protect hair from environmental stressors.

How much should you use?

Less is more! Start with one to three pumps, depending on your hair thickness and length. Rub between your palms, then smooth over mid-lengths to ends.

Pro tip: Avoid the roots unless you're slicking hair into a sleek style.

Why it’s a clean beauty essential

Old-school serums gave shine but often left hair dull and coated over time. With water-soluble ingredients and a nourishing blend of oils, BodFood’s serum actually improves hair texture over time. 

Who it’s best for

Everyone. Curly, straight, wavy, thick, fine, every texture benefits from hydration and heat protection. If you’re dealing with frizz, dryness, or damage, a quality serum can be a game changer.

Smooth hair, without the slick. Glossy locks, without the grease. That’s the BodFood difference.
