The truth is: Hair serums do work, but not all are alike. When it comes to an affordable option, associate editor Shannon Garlin reaches for this serum from The Ordinary.
“I started using the hair serum consistently in June 2022. Within that time, I’ve noticed vast improvements to my scalp and hair,” she wrote in her review. “I no longer find myself itching my head throughout the day (unless I’ve gone too long without washing my hair), and the flaking is completely gone. Plus, my skin and strands went from feeling dry to hydrated and moisturized.”

This also made my hair feel a lot thicker.”
