What is a hair serum?

Silicone is a synthetic compound like oil, resin and rubber that is used in the manufacture of products to protect against moisture damage. Apart from this, it is also used in plants. Talking about its use for hair, silicone is used not only in serum but also in products like shampoo, conditioner to keep the hair shiny. In these products, silicone is present in solvent i.e. soluble form. In such a situation, it cannot be stored on the skin for a long time.
