How To Use Kundal Hair Serums

Kundal Hair Serums are some of the most versatile hair finishing products we carry at Pupsik, but knowing how and when to apply them makes a real difference to your results. Here's everything you need to know about using them correctly.

Here is your complete guide to using Kundal serums correctly to get that salon-quality, silky finish at home.

What Does Kundal Hair Serum Actually Do?

Kundal Hair Serums are primarily finishing and protective products for your hair lengths, rather than scalp treatments. Their core benefits include:

• Smooth frizz + flyaways: coats the hair's surface, making it look neater and feel softer.
• Add shine + “silky” feel: the oils/silicones in serums reflect light and reduce rough texture.
• Reduce tangling & breakage: lubrication helps strands slide instead of snagging, especially on dry/damaged ends.
• Protect hair from dryness & damage: helps reduce moisture loss and can offer some heat protection
• Make hair more manageable: easier combing/styling, less “poof.”

Can Kundal Serums be applied directly to dry hair?

The short answer is yes, most  Kundal Macadamia Ultra Hair Serum work perfectly well on dry hair. For most Kundal hair serums, it’s totally fine (and common) to apply them on dry hair.  

In fact, applying a small amount to dry mid-lengths and ends is the fastest way to instantly tame frizz, smooth down stubborn flyaways, and add a brilliant, glossy shine without making your hair look greasy or flat.

Wet vs. Dry Hair: Which is Better?

You can use Kundal serums on both wet and dry hair, but they serve different purposes:

• On Wet/Damp Hair: Acts as a detangler, locks in moisture, and protects the hair cuticle from the friction of towel-drying and brushing.
• On Dry Hair: Acts as a protective finishing coat to seal the cuticle, maximize shine, and block out environmental humidity.

How to Apply Kundal Hair Serum? Step by Step

On Dry Hair:

1. Pump a tiny amount (start with ½ pump to 1 pump).
2. Rub between palms.
3. Apply to mid-lengths and ends only (avoid scalp unless the product is specifically a scalp serum).
4. Add a little more only if needed (too much = greasy/limp hair).

Tip: In Singapore's humidity, less is always more. Over-applying on dry hair leads to greasy, limp-looking results, especially in the heat.

On Wet or Towel-Dried Hair:

1. After washing, towel-dry to remove excess water
2. Pump 1 pump into palms
3. Apply evenly from mid-lengths to ends
4. Blow-dry or air-dry as normal

When To Use:

Tip for Hair Oils, Serums and Treatment:

• If the product label says “leave-in treatment” → dry hair is usually fine.
• If it says “rinse-off” → that’s not meant to apply on dry hair.

Kundal Hair Serums are primarily finishing and protective products for your hair lengths, not scalp treatments.

Kundal hair serum vs hair oil. What's the difference?

The Kundal Macadamia Ultra Hair Serum is itself oil-based, it bridges the two categories. It delivers the nourishing properties of a hair oil in a serum format: more concentrated, faster-absorbing, and less heavy than a traditional hair oil. Use it the same way you would a finishing hair oil.

Which Kundal serum scent is best?

Pupsik carries the Macadamia Ultra Hair Serum in various scents! All three have the same formula; scent is purely a matter of personal preference. Cherry Blossom is a popular choice. Baby Powder is the lightest and most neutral.
