Shiny healthy hair wants to have every girl who wants to look at 100%. To present beautiful curls without natural luster is impossible. Therefore, manufacturers of hair care products began to use all kinds of serums, luminizers and vitalizers.
What it is?
Luminizer is a cosmetic component based on mica or another mineral. It is added to hair care products to give them extra shine and to mask shortcomings - for example, dryness, split ends, etc. Mineral microparticles in the luminizer composition reflect light, and hair instantly begins to overflow and effectively shimmer.
Despite the fact that in the decorative cosmetics luminizers have become very popular for a long time, hair care is an innovation. Brands began to produce the whole series with reflective particles.
Luminants are available in the form of shampoos, masks, sprays, serums and oils. Preference among all means it is necessary to give serums.
Serums contain a concentrated amount of nutrients and have a high penetrating ability. Luminizer serum will not only add shine to hair, but also solve hair problems. To solve a specific problem, it is necessary to select an individual serum with a specific cosmetic spectrum of action.
Vitalizer serum is another new development in cosmetology. Such serums have a concentrated amount of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Vita-therapy cures the necessary damage, restoring hair health. Fortified serums are often produced in the form of serums-veils, which cover the curls with a thin layer, retaining all the necessary elements inside the hair. Invisible protection prevents negative environmental effects.
Each serum has a main component. The basis of whey vitalizers and luminizers are the following substances.
- Glycerin and hyaluronic acid. They are hygroscopic agents that trap moisture.
- Silicone. Covers strands with a thin protective layer, fills all damages of the structure, leveling and adding shine to them.
- Oils. Perfectly nourish and strengthen. A waterproof layer is created on the surface of the curls that retains moisture inside the curls. Increase the protective function.
- Ceramides. In healthy hair, a proper amount of this component is sufficient. However, frequent staining, styling at high temperatures and sun exposure destroy the natural ceramides, making the curls dry and lifeless. The arrival of ceramides by external means helps to eliminate these problems.
- Keratin. An important protein for hair, with a lack of which they split and break. Fills the damaged cuticle, returning a healthy look and shine. The peculiarity of these products is lifting and botox effect.
How to use?
The use of luminating and fortified serums depends on its narrow cosmetic spectrum of action. Serum for dry and split ends of hair are distributed only at the ends. On the root of the head of the hair is not used, because they have a strong nutritional properties, which can increase the fat content of the healthy part of the hair. Used every time after the next shampooing.
Straightening and thermoprotective sera are applied on slightly wet strands before exposure to a hair dryer or a straightening iron. Moisturizing serums can be used every day.Distributed along the entire length of dry hair and combed with a frequent comb. Anti-dandruff serum is rubbed into the scalp.
There are complex serums that combine different cosmetic properties. They are usually applied along the entire length of the curls. In any case, all the nuances of using serum can be found in the instructions for use. But there is a general way to use these cosmetics:
- application is possible only on clean hair;
- before use, the serum is warmed in the palms to body temperature, which will allow to more effectively perform the desired action
- when applied to wet hair, you should wait a little for the action to begin, and only then dry it with a hairdryer;

- after the procedure, the hair is amenable to cold exposure to consolidate the result;
