These are the serums we actually rate for every hair type and concern

Perhaps the most-loved hair serum on the planet, Moroccanoil's original treatment is indeed worth the global hype.

It's suitable for most hair types (those with fine or blonde hair should opt instead for the lighter version) and works double-duty to reduce frizz, tame flyaways, stop puffiness and enhance shine.

Apply it to wet, damp or dry hair: it wont let you down.

Living Proof's No Frizz Smooth Styling Serum (try saying that three times fast) was specifically formulated for coarse and thick hair. It's loaded with rich humectants and nourishing ingredients that seal in moisture, preventing brittleness and frizz in low-porosity strands.

Plus, because it's made without heavy silicones, it increases shine and makes hair much easier to slide a brush through. Tangles be gone.

Virtue's Damage Reverse Serum is one of the smartest formulas to hit today's shelves. Doing exactly as it sounds, the meticulously formulated cream contains ingredients that will reverse heat damage.

It contains the brand's patented Alpha Keratin 60ku – a protein that's identical to the kind already present in your hair – which works to heal the broken fibres inside the hair cortex, helping to strengthen and improve elasticity. It may be a little spenny, but if you're serious about hair repair it's going to deliver transformative results – trust.

Negin Mirsalehi built Gisou with a deep-rooted passion for beekeeping, an industry that's been a part of her family for generations. Not only good for spreading on toast, but you'll find that honey is a powerful emollient and humectant which increases shine and moisture.

Gisou's Hair Repair Serum holds tiny beads containing honey and hydrating oils which burst on application. Not only does this give your hair some next-level shine, but the serum works to boost moisture and restore heat damage. And let's have a moment for the cute packaging too.

This science-backed bottle is living proof that long, healthy hair isn’t always a result of triple-figure treatments.

The water-like consistency is cleverly formulated with a peptide complex – which essentially improves density by stimulating follicles – and added caffeine encourages hair growth.

Plus, it leaves no sticky residue behind, so you can apply it whenever you have time, not just when you shower.

When one of the coolest hair care brands on the planet launches an anti-frizz cream, you know it's going to be worth your £££. Ouai's new treatment is a real smooth operator. The creamy formula locks in flyways and encourages a sleek finish, but does so without weighing down strands or turning them greasy.

Just note, frizz-fighting formulas are designed to hydrate and smooth, so you'll need something a bit more heavy-duty to set a style in place or to define curls.

Sorry to disappoint, but you can't apply hair serum and expect Rapunzel-like lengths in just a few weeks. It ain't gonna happen. But, to sprout new baby hairs, a growth serum is your best bet.

Typebea's Overnight Boosting Peptide Serum is a leave-in, traceless treatment, designed to prevent hair loss and promote growth. Massage a few drops into your noggin and work in with a scalp massager. In just a few weeks, you may spot some new growth thanks to the crew of stimulating peptides.

Arkive is founded by hairstylist Adam Reed, who coined the term 'headcare' as he believes we should take as much care of our noggins as we do our faces. Adam knows that healthy hair begins with a healthy scalp, which is why his Scalp Serum should be used by everybody, no matter your curl type or texture.

Think of it as skincare for your head and apply when your hair is still damp post shower. Healthy growth and shine will soon be yours.

Over-processed hair can be a pain to work with: if you’ve gone heavy with the bleach, you’ll probs be familiar with the feeling of crispy strands.

Yes, maintaining a bright blonde is a priority (as it should be if you’ve dropped £££ on it), but in our opinion, if you want the blonde, you gotta control the breakage – and this is the main man for the job.

Hyaluronic acid and edelweiss flower work away to smooth unruly lengths and seal split ends, while the opalescent lavender tint neutralises yellow tones. Plus, it’s got some major heat protective action going on (which is a must for colour-treated waves).

Once you take notice of your scalp, you'll notice a huge difference in the health of your hair.

One stand out serum is The Nue's Co Supa Thick Hair Treatment. If the name isn’t tempting enough, just know that the probiotic- and amino acid-packed formula will nourish your scalp and stimulate stronger, quicker hair growth.

It doesn't leave a greasy residue, so you can add it to your routine without having to schedule it around wash day. Easy.
