Hair Serum for Porous Hair

A hair serum is a concentrated leave-in treatment that smooths the hair surface, reduces frizz and restores shine. If your hair is porous, frizz-prone and looks dull, choose a lightweight silicone-free serum that does not weigh hair down or feel sticky.

How to choose a serum for porous hair

Porous hair looks dull, frizzes quickly, tangles and struggles to hold moisture. It is common after bleaching, colouring or frequent heat styling. A serum works as the finishing touch: it evens out the surface and adds smoothness and shine. If you also need more hydration, add a leave-in cream, and for a light protective veil use a leave-in spray.

To understand porosity and how to care for these strands, read leave-in cream for curly and porous hair, and for formulas that smooth the surface see our explainer on lamellar cream.

LUNÉVA ANTI-POROSITY: what is in this category

The category features the LUNÉVA ANTI-POROSITY silicone-free serum against porosity (30 ml). It is a light, oil-based serum for silkiness and shine that absorbs quickly and is not sticky.

• Purpose: reduces frizz, adds smoothness and silkiness, reduces the look of porosity.
• Effect: anti-frizz protection, shine, smoothness.
• Suits porous hair that is prone to frizz and lacks shine.
• Silicone-free, leave-in, applied to damp or dry hair.

It is cosmetic care, not a treatment: it improves the look and smoothness of hair. For very fine hair use the minimum amount, and if your hair is already smooth and frizz-free, a serum may be unnecessary.

How to use the serum

1. Rub a few drops between your palms (a little more for long, thick hair).
2. Smooth it over the lengths and ends of damp or dry hair, keeping away from the roots.
3. Do not comb straight away: let the product settle, then style as usual.
4. For a daily refresh, add one drop to the ends without repeating along the whole length.

A serum pairs well with a cream: first the Silk Repair Lamellar Cream for restoration, then a drop of serum for final shine. If your hair is very fine, use the minimum: a tiny drop on the ends is enough.

FAQ

What is the difference between a hair serum and a cream?

A serum is lighter and runnier: it smooths the surface and adds shine. A cream is richer and hydrates and nourishes more. You can use them together.

Can I apply the serum to damp and dry hair?

Yes. ANTI-POROSITY is applied to both damp and dry hair in a small amount.

Will a silicone-free serum weigh down fine hair?

Not if you use the minimum and keep it off the roots. Start with a few drops.

How often should I use a hair serum?

After every wash for smoothness, or as needed in the morning on the ends to calm frizz.
