Check out our guide to Oway serums below!

Smoothing Fluid

The most lightweight serum is the Smoothing Fluid. It is apart of the Smoothing Line of products and is recommended for those who intend to blow dry and flat iron their hair straight. It will add brightness and softness to the hair while protecting the hair fibers from the heat of styling tools, all without weighing it down.

Key Ingredients:

Organic Damask Rose Extract: for lightweight hydration and powerful antioxidants
Biodynamic Caraway Seed Extract: revitalizes the mind and hair with Vitamin E, lutein and carotene
Fair Trade Buriti Oil: prevents hair from becoming overly dry and adds radiant shine

Directions:

Use by putting into damp hair before beginning to style. Its lightweight consistency also makes it an amazing finishing serum to polish off any flyaways.

Glossy Nectar

Glossy Nectar is slightly more concentrated than Smoothing Fluid, but it is still a light serum. It is a wonderful solution for thin hair that may be very damaged and rebellious. Glossy Nectar penetrates the cuticle to nourish and rebuild the hair from the inside, while polishing the outside with shine. Bonus: when used on wet hair, it cuts blow drying time down by 50%!

Key Ingredients:

Biodynamic White Horehound Extract: reinforces hair structure, all-natural UV protection
Organic Black Quinoa: for strength and protection
Fair Trade Marula Oil for hydration and shine

Directions:

Use on damp or dry hair. It will cut your blow dry time in half, provide thermal protection and add a light sheen for healthy looking locks.

Silk N' Glow Serum

Silk’N Glow Serum is heavier than Glossy Nectar, giving excellent nourishment and control over frizzy locks. As a member of the Silk ‘N Glow Care Line, this serum is great for adding shine and manageability to coarse, dry or damaged hair.

Key Ingredients:

Biodynamic Oat Extract: restructures hair and locks in moisture
Organic Cold Pressed Cupuacu Butter: for superior hydration and softening
Fair Trade Brazilian Nut Oil for detangling and anti-frizz properties

Directions:

Can be applied to damp or dry hair. Use along with the Silk’ N Glow Hair Bath and Silk N’ Glow Hair Mask to get the most benefits.

Nurturing Drops

Finally, we have the Nurturing Drops. These highly concentrated drops are the heaviest of the serums, but will not leave the hair feeling greasy or weighed down. It’s expertly formulated to ensure maximum absorbency and delivery of nutrients to the hair fiber. It nourishes and seals dry and damaged ends, while adding shine and protection from heat styling. Nurturing Drops are mainly ideal for thick or coarse strands, but small amounts can be used for other hair types.

Key Ingredients:

Biodynamic White Horehound Extract: reinforces hair structure, all-natural UV protection
Organic Black Quinoa: for strength and protection
Fair Trade Marula Oil: for hydration and shine

Directions:

Apply to damp or dry hair prior to or after styling, concentrating on the ends.

Styling Tip:

All of these serums will be applied beginning with the ends and working up the lengths of the hair. Avoid the root area so as not to get too greasy of a look or add too much weight with the thicker serums. For fine hair, begin with 1-2 drops of the serum and work in, adding more if needed for thicker hair types.
