Scalp serums for healthier hair: vogue's picks

As longevity becomes the latest skincare buzzword, consumers are now seeking hair-care products that promise not just a good hair day, but healthier locks overall.

A scalp serum is valuable to everyone, because it can help support the scalp barrier by improving scalp hydration, reducing dryness and irritation, creating a healthier environment for hair growth, and improving the appearance of hair fullness and density over time.

Vogue editors and dermatologists weigh in on the best scalp serums for various concerns, from thinning hair to shedding and scalp sensitivity.

For fine-haired women, a modern water-based serum is the best entry point, as it's easily absorbed and won't weigh hair down. Key is to work the serum into the scalp with a massager or fingertips.

Even under 40, younger people are experiencing thinning, fallout, and scalp sensitivity, making scalp serums more relevant for everyone today.
