Serums and heat protectants


Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum

about $30

Our favorite. Light, frizz taming, heat protecting, and it cuts down your drying time. A little goes a long way and it smells good. Pricier than the rest, still worth it.

The green one is the one we can vouch for. Not heavy, not greasy, smells good, and it is the cheapest thing on this list.

Palmer's Coconut Oil Hair Polisher

about $6

You will never go wrong with this one. Affordable and easy to grab at almost any store near you.


Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Anti-Frizz Serum

It does its job, it smells great, and it doubles as a heat protectant. Use it sparingly, because too much turns greasy fast.

A note on all of this

You can find serum anywhere, so treat this as a starting point instead of a shopping list. Get what works for your unit and your price range. Serum is the one thing you never have to spend a lot on if you would rather not.
