Spray primer evenly and liberally (you can't use too much) onto damp or dry hair and work through.
From the Pros: Applied too much styler (think pomade, think gel)? We've been there. Spray Prep Primer to the area and either towel-blot or comb through to smoothe and detangle.

- Q
Is it safe to use before heat styling your hair ? (Blow drying clean hair)
- Asked by shayyyy
- Official Answer By Bumble & Bumble USThe Bumble and bumble Prep Primer is a light weight option to use on freshly washed or dry hair to prep before apply your styling products. If you are needing a thermal protection option we recommend the Bumble and bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Heat Protectant Leave In Conditioner Primer.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
I have fine, wavy, frizzy hair. I have used Prep spray together with the Thickening spray. Should I use the Heat Shield Thermal Protection mist as well? if so, in what order?
- Asked by DiDi
- Official Answer By Bumble & Bumble USWe are so glad you asked! You can use the Heat Shield Thermal Protection Mist with your regimen on dry hair. This mist protects dried hair against heat tools (up to 450 degrees), repairs damage, and helps prevent breakage.. I recommend using the Prep Primer, and Thickening Spray on damp hair before blow drying. For second day hair, spritz the Heat Shield Thermal Protection Mist on dry hair before heat styling.Was this answer helpful to you

Can this be used together with the Invisible oil primer or does the invisible oil primer do what this does plus heat protection?

Wonderful for creating texture
Prep works excellent as a layering product for texture and volume. My hair is poker straight and very fine, and I can actually get my hair to hold curl with Prep. My hair doesnt fall flat throughout the day either, which is great.

Probably good, but not for my hair. Prefer HIO primer.
Probably great for some hair types, but this seemed to dry out my hair. Perhaps I wash too often or am just getting older, but I preferred the sample of HIO primer, which also seemed to give a good base but my hair wasn't as flyaway at the end. I tried as a refresher on Day 2 as well, but I still e...

Best Detangling Ever and It Smells GREAT!
Verified Reviewer

I have had the most baby fine, thinnest, flattest hair my entire life, and I pretty much grew up using that famous detangler for kids and used it well into adulthood. When I started researching hair products a year or so ago & eventually started switching my hair routine over to 100% B&B products, I decided to try BB Prep after watching a video that recommended using it with Don't Blow It (Fine). Don't Blow It (Fine) is my holy grail product I won't ever live without, but BB Prep is a close second! I stopped blow drying my hair much years ago & I don't like to spend a lot of time on my hairs, and those two products + BB's Thickening shampoo & conditioner are my regular-use products now. I go through a LOT of BB Prep because I use it generously - usually spry it right out of the shower & then a few spritzes again after my hair's dried a little, and before I use Don't Blow It (Fine). They work SO well together, and after using both I twist my hair into a bun on top of my head and go about my business or go to sleep, and the next day when I take it down it just looks and feels great! Nothing crunchy & it doesn't feel like I have any product in my hair, just feels soft & smells good and holds the waves great! I hardly ever brush my hair (and therefore don't damage/break it so much) because I don't need to with BB Prep & Don't Blow It (Fine) - I just take it down and fix it/fluff it with m fingers and I'm good to go! Sometimes if I'm going out I'll spritz a little BB Does It All on my hair (especially my bangs, and especially if it's windy) just to keep it together. I also use Pret-A-Powder often (sometimes powder, sometimes spray) with these products, especially on second and third day hair days. They all just work so well together! As far as BB Prep, it smells so fantastic and fresh and doesn't feel sticky at all going on, and it detangles wonderfully! Thanks to BB Prep I don't have to work so hard brushing my hair out after showering - no damage or breaks!
This product detangles but doesn't leave my hair greasey

I use this as a primer to set angle my hair, especially on the weekends when I use the Sunday shampoo.
Love It!

I bought this to battle really tangley hair after washing. I'd been using another salon product for years but it left my hair oily and wasn't quite the de-tangler I was hoping for. B&B Primer waaaay exceeded my expectations! I spray 6-10 spritzes while my hair is damp and it combs out like a charm and leaves NO oily residue behind!
Love this product

Always use after shampooing and towel drying hair. And also before restyling. Works great!
I didn't really notice any difference with use
