Unlock Your Hair’s Potential: Top 5 Hair Serums and Supplements We Love

At Hazen Plastic Surgery, we believe in enhancing your natural beauty from every angle. While our expertise lies in surgical and non-surgical procedures, we also understand the profound impact healthy, vibrant hair can have on your overall confidence and appearance. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of five exceptional hair serums and supplements that can help you achieve the luscious locks you’ve always dreamed of. Think of these as powerful allies in your journey to looking and feeling your absolute best!

It’s important to remember that individual results can vary, and it’s always a great idea to chat with your provider before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.

Here are our top hair serum picks:

1. For Scalp Health & Growth: Rosemary Oil Serum

• Why we love it: Rosemary oil has gained significant buzz, and for good reason! Studies suggest it can stimulate hair growth by increasing blood circulation to the scalp. A healthy scalp is the foundation for strong, vibrant hair. Plus, its invigorating scent is a delightful bonus.

• How it helps: May help nourish hair follicles, reduce hair thinning, and promote thicker-looking hair. Some users also report a reduction in dandruff.

• How to use: Gently massage a few drops into your scalp, leave it on for at least 30 minutes (or even overnight), and then shampoo as usual. Look for serums that contain pure rosemary oil in a carrier oil like jojoba or almond oil.

  
  

2. For Strength & Shine: Keratin Serum

• Why we love it: Keratin is the structural protein that makes up your hair. Environmental stressors, heat styling, and chemical treatments can deplete keratin, leading to weakened, dull strands. A good keratin serum can help replenish this vital protein.

• How it helps: Can improve hair elasticity, reduce breakage and frizz, and add a noticeable shine to your locks, making them look smoother and healthier.

• How to use: Apply a small amount to damp or dry hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. Avoid applying directly to the scalp unless the product instructions specify otherwise.

  
  

3. For Overall Hair Wellness: Biotin Supplements (Vitamin B7)

• Why we love it: Biotin is a well-known B-vitamin often associated with hair, skin, and nail health. While a deficiency is rare, ensuring adequate intake can contribute to stronger, healthier hair growth.

• How it helps: May support the production of keratin, improve hair thickness, and reduce hair shedding in individuals who are deficient.

• Important Note: While biotin is generally safe, high doses can interfere with certain lab tests. Always inform your doctor about any supplements you are taking. You can often find biotin in multivitamins or as a standalone supplement.

4. For Antioxidant Protection: Vitamin E Oil/Serum

• Why we love it: Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can help protect your hair and scalp from damage caused by free radicals from environmental pollutants and UV exposure.

• How it helps: Can contribute to a healthier scalp environment, potentially improve hair shine, and reduce breakage.

• How to use: You can find Vitamin E in some hair serums or use pure Vitamin E oil sparingly. Massage a small amount into your scalp or apply to the lengths of your hair as a treatment. Be mindful that it can be quite thick, so a little goes a long way.

  
  

5. For Building Blocks: Collagen Supplements

• Why we love it: Collagen is another essential protein in the body, and it contains amino acids that are also found in hair. Supplementing with collagen may provide the building blocks needed for healthy hair growth.

• How it helps: Some studies suggest collagen can improve hair thickness, reduce hair loss, and increase overall hair strength. It may also contribute to skin and nail health.

• How to use: Collagen supplements come in various forms, including powders, capsules, and gummies. Follow the dosage instructions on the product label.
