Our Fave Drugstore Hair Serums For Glossy Locks (From $5)

Our obsession with hair care has reached new heights over the past two years. Not only do we mask while we work, but many of us have retreated to our natural hair color, and have finally stopped overwashing our hair thanks to our WFH schedule. One product we’ve also introduced into our daily routine is a hair serum, and it’s been a total game-changer. Regardless of your haircare concern, whether it’s hair loss, breakage, undefined curls, or dull brittle locks, there’s a drugstore serum on this list to help.

Celeb hairstylist Kathleen Riley relies on this $5 Garnier serum when working with her A-List clientele, and she isn’t the first celebrity stylist to recommend it to us! She explains why she’s obsessed: “This serum works amazingly when you’re right out of the shower, with wet hair to start as a base of a frizz-free style. I also love using it when doing a “wet look” because the serum is a thicker consistency and saturates the hair.”

For Hair Growth: Rogaine Hair Regrowth Topical Solution, $25

If you’re struggling with hair loss right now, incorporate this serum into your daily routine. The potent serum contains 2% minoxidil, which is the only over-the-counter topical drug approved by the FDA to treat hair loss. It’s clinically proven to regrow up to 25% more hair during the first stages of hair thinning. If you’re wondering, ‘how?’, it works by encouraging hair follicle activity and stimulating hair protein production to boost healthy hair growth.
