If you’re often frustrated with the numerous post-shower products needed when styling your hair, or even worse, having to pack them all for your travels – all you need to do is take a look at our favourite all-in-one hair primers right now to find the perfect one for you and your tresses…
You’re welcome.
Perfect for a Plait

The new got2b playful styling PRIMER gives your hair the grip and control to needed for a bun, a braid, and whatever other creative style your going after. Applying this light and creamy primer gives hair a healthy shine without giving you an oily scalp. We also love that this product leaves us with a long-lasting, soft-to-the-touch look, unlike certain hairsprays and hair gels that give us a long-lasting stiff strands.

One of the biggest styling struggles is craving out enough time in the morning to achieve the look you want. Davines Your Assistant Blowdry Primer, helps us out when we’re rushing out of the shower by reducing drying time. While speeding up your process, this primer adds body and shine to your hair. You’ll leave the house looking like your fresh from the hair salon.
Perfect for Heat Styling

Heat protectants minimize damage done by our flat irons and curling wands and we are forever grateful. To avoid brittle, dry hair, we recommend Bumble and Bumble’s Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer. Spray and comb through dry or damp hair to immediately get smooth finish. We love this product for combating frizz, fighting off breakage and to top it all off – leaving your hair smelling delicious.
