Item 2516183
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.
Most Helpful Critical Review
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...

Keeping hair silky and healthy
Reviewed at

I recently started swimming 3x/wk for 30+ mins. Pool is salt-water, slightly chlorinated. Prep is making it super healthy and silky. And of course, easy to brush after shower (with a detangler brush).
Great multi use basic

Prep Primer is a great adjunct to all styling aids, for curly or straight styles. I use it to make sure other product is evenly applied, to re-dampen if I want to restyle sections of hair, or to reactivate curls or waves without adding more curling product. It revives without build-up for second day hair or after a gym session. I sometimes use it to "dilute" other product to enhance even application. Great product to always have on hand regardless of hairstyle!
I love this product.

Great conditioning product before styling. Smells great too. I have tried other primers, but I always go back to one.
Love product hate Ulta's shipping

Use on damp or dry hair, great moisturizing product for all hair types
Great on extensions
This is the only thing that gets the knots out of my extensions and doesn't leave a residue. Will never be without this!
