After shampoo primer

I use both the bond building shampoo and conditioner. I have fine, white hair and I use a few spritzes of this primer following a shampoo. It detangles and primes my hair for blow-drying. It doesn't make hair limp. This is a great product and very effective.

Not Worth The Price for Me

I’d seen some glowing reviews on this primer, so I was excited to try it, but it just didn’t work for me. It felt like the equivalent of spraying water in my hair. It didn’t have much of a scent and my hair seemed to look more dry and frizzy after blowout. Maybe my hair isn’t fine enough or I should try using this more with the straight iron, but I probably wouldn’t buy it again.

Great for low porosity hair

My hair starts to dry just at the sight of a towel. By the time I’m ready to put products in it to style, it’s almost dry. I use this to wet and nourish it before that. Works great.

Great styling product

Really like this product for dry hair revival. It works on my curly medium thick hair as a restyling product. Use BB tonic on wet hair but like this on day after shampoo styling.

My hair's best friend

I love this stuff. I'd been using the Bb Tonic primer for years, and then I found out that one is for medium to thick hair....not me. I tried this one as it's supposed to be lighter weight for fine to medium hair, and it does suit me better. It's a great detangler and makes my blowouts smooth and well behaved. It doesn't have the same tingle as the Tonic spray, FYI (no tea tree oil).

I wish this was silicone free

I used to like this product but since going silicone free with my new products I don't like the way it works with my hair. I love the smell and wish it came without silicones as this would pair amazing with the new Seaweed shampoo and conditioner. I prefer light sprays to detangle vs a cream in that line.
