After a long, hot summer of playing outdoors, the sun, chlorine, and generally laid back hair-care routine can wreak havoc on our delicate tresses. Frizzy, damaged and dry hair can benefit not only from a healthy dose of treatment conditioner, but also from a smoothing hair serum to tame those fly-aways and bring back the silky sheen we all covet. Many of the most effective serums, such as the ones we have chosen here, are packed full of rejuvenating nutrients, weightless precious oils and shine enhancing light reflecting particles that will keep hair smooth and happy from morning to night, all season long.
