Does my scalp need a serum? Mode of action, application & tips

A healthy scalp is the prerequisite for strong, full hair. But while many people pay a lot of attention to the skin on their face, scalp care is often neglected. It is worthwhile to specifically support it with high-quality serums. How serums for the scalp work, when their use makes sense – and which product can be particularly effective – you will learn in this article.

What do serums for the scalp do?

Scalp serums are highly concentrated care products specifically developed to promote scalp health and stimulate hair follicles. Unlike conventional hair care products such as shampoos or conditioners, they remain on the scalp and can exert their effect over the long term.

Typical effects of scalp serums:

ü  Improved circulation: Better microcirculation supports the supply of nutrients to the hair roots.

ü  Regeneration of the scalp: Active ingredients such as panthenol or niacinamide soothe irritated, dry, or tense scalp.

ü  Stimulation of hair growth: Some serums contain ingredients that can stimulate natural hair growth.

ü  Strengthening of hair follicles: Stronger hair roots can counteract hair loss and improve hair structure.

When is the use of scalp serums sensible?

A scalp serum can be used preventively but also specifically for certain problems:

ü  In case of increased hair loss or visible hair thinning

ü  With dry, itchy, or flaky scalp

ü  After a hair transplant or other medical scalp treatments

ü  As part of a holistic hair care routine to keep the scalp healthy

Tip: Seasonal changes – such as dry heating air in winter or UV exposure in summer – can also stress the scalp. A nourishing serum helps maintain balance.

How to properly integrate a serum into your care routine

1.       Preparation: Ideally apply the serum to clean, towel-dried or dry scalp.

2.       Application: Depending on the product, apply specifically to the affected areas or evenly over the entire scalp.

3.       Massage in: Gently massage the serum in with your fingertips – this additionally promotes circulation.

4.       Do not rinse out: Most scalp serums remain on the skin and work for hours.

For a sustainable effect, regular use is recommended, e.g., daily or several times a week, depending on individual needs and product instructions.
