Curlsmith Super Slip Pre-Wash Primer is a pre-shampoo treatment that helps detangle and protects the hair's natural moisture from being stripped out.
Benefits
- Preserves the hair moisture while clarifying
- Protects the hair from being stripped out by strong cleansers
- Helps strengthen the hair's protective barrier, the Microbiome
- Has great slip to help detangle
- Helps soothe and treat dry, itchy and flaky scalp
- Stimulates follicles
- Lightweight emulsion texture (it's not a conditioner)
- Vegan, cruelty free, clean ingredients and curly girl friendly
- Designed for all curls and texture types, this product is also suitable for straight hair
- Primer can be used as part of the Curlsmith Microbiome Scalp System or on its own to protect the hair from harsh cleansers
Key Ingredients
- Pre-biotics, nutritive compounds that feed the 'good bacteria' which form the skin's protective barrier, the Microbiome
- Fermented Rice Water, which has been used for centuries in Asia as a hair treatment to keep the hair healthy, detangled and clean
- Energizing blend of Ginger, Nettle, Dragon Fruit and Guarana
Formulated Without
- Sulfates
- Silicones
- Drying alcohols
Wet your hair thoroughly and apply the product directly onto the scalp before your shampoo, gently massaging it in. While the pre-biotics are working, make your way down the hair lengths, finger detangling until you get rid of all the knots. Leave on for 1 minute. Apply the Curlsmith Wash & Scrub Detox Pro-Biotic, directly on top of the primer, without rinsing. The Pre-Biotic Primer will nourish and protect your scalp while the Detox Pro-Biotic clarifies it.

Great product - using it with the full system

Not for super curly hair
I have been slowly lightening my dark brown 3c curls and been dealing with a lot more tangles, so i figured id try this for some pre shampoo detangling. This wasn't the answer. It didnt have the slip i need to detangle my natural curls, felt more like a shampoo. Im sure it works great on those with less tangles and knots, it just wasn't effective enough to justify it. DivaCurls Wash Day Wonder works much better
Necessity for clarifying days
Wavy-curly (2C-ish) fine, medium density, medium-high porosity, unbleached hair that needs a good clarifying treatment 2x a month, especially when ive been using heat, and therefore silicone heavy heat protection on it. Also doing a dandruff shampoo another 2x a month (using gentle shampoo in between, washing hair about 2x a week for 8 shampoos a month) This product has been a game changer in terms of protecting my mid-lengths and ends from becoming stripped while I use the shampoos that my scalp needs to feel clean and helps me keep my hair looking and feeling healthy & strong. Only con would be the price, but I haven't seen a better dupe yet so can't complain to mych when there's no one doing this cheaper. Hope they offer a larger value size soon!

My hair is aging curly frizzy. Using this product has kept my hair from tangling after shampooing. It also has prevented my hair from drying out as much as when using shampoo alone.
Worked great for 4c hair
I tested this product on my hair (4C, fine texture) and my daughters hair (4C, coarse texture). This made the detangling process MUCH easier on both of us with a noticeably lower amount of shedding over time. She also had very dry scalp. This has helped a lot.
Worked very well for my daughters hair
