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...

soft, detangled, manageable hair with zero weight!

I tested the Bumble and bumble Prep Detangling Primer on a week when my hair seemed set on becoming its own independent nation. The spray goes on light, almost like water, but gives my brush real glide. It softens knots without buildup and leaves my texture looking like mine, only calmer and less dramatic. It is the kind of product that quietly fixes the problem before you even reach for your styling cream. Everything layers more smoothly, my ends behave, and I spend far less time negotiating with tangles on rushed mornings. If you want something heavy or ultra smoothing, this is not that. If you want soft, detangled, manageable hair with zero weight this works beautifully. I received this product for free from Bumble and bumble for testing and review purposes.

This primer detangles hair immediately, providing softness and smoothness without adding weight. It can be used before heat styling or air drying to add hydration and a healthy appearance. The product also helps to prep hair for other styling products. I spray it on my hair right after applying conditioner. The scent is light and clean, and only a few sprays are needed. I received this product for free from Bumble and bumble for testing and review purposes.
Instantly Detangled My Fine Hair
Describe Yourself Frequent Flyaways, Tangles Easily, Thin Hair

I tried the Bumble and bumble Prep Detangling Hair Primer on my thin, straight hair, which tangles super easily. I even skipped conditioner just to really test it out, and I was honestly impressed because it took out the knots instantly and reduced breakage. I used it on wet hair, and the formula was so light that it didn't weigh my hair down or make it greasy. I also couldn't detect any scent, so it won't compete with your other Bumble and bumble hair products. After combing through and blow-drying, my hair felt soft, smooth, and tangle-free. Overall, I think this would work well for pretty much all hair types and I would absolutely recommend it. I received this product for free from Bumble and bumble for testing and review purposes.

I used the Bumble and Bumble Prep Primer in the morning after washing my hair, and it instantly made detangling easier. The texture is light and watery, which felt refreshing on my scalp and didn't weigh my fine hair down at all. I loved the subtle scent—it's clean and uplifting without being overpowering. After blow-drying, my hair felt soft, manageable, and ready for styling. It also helped my volumizing mousse perform better, giving me a fuller look without frizz. I'd recommend this to anyone with fine hair looking for a gentle, effective base before styling. I received this product for free from Bumble and bumble for testing and review purposes.
