The verdict
A six-oil leave-in primer spray that detangles, softens and adds heat protection to 450°F plus UV filters, at a salon-brand price.
Bumble and bumble calls this its #1 best seller: a spray-on leave-in conditioner and styling primer with a six-oil blend, heat protection up to 450°F and UV filters. The brand cites consumer testing for hydration, frizz reduction and color protection, and creators frame it as an everyday detangling and prep step. It is formulated for wavy, curly and coily hair as well as medium-to-thick straight hair that is dry or color-treated. It is fragranced and priced like a salon brand.
Best for
- Dry, frizzy or color-treated hair that gets heat-styled
- Detangling and prepping before blow-drying
- A one-step leave-in, primer and heat protectant
What we love
- Combines leave-in conditioner, styling primer and heat protection to 450°F
- UV filters that the brand says help protect against sun drying
- Brand says it protects color from fading for up to 16 washes
- Formulated for wavy, curly and coily hair as well as thick straight hair
- Cruelty-free and free of parabens, phthalates and mineral oil per the brand
Worth knowing
- Fragranced with frangipani, golden honey and tonka bean notes
- Pricier than drugstore heat protectants
- Brand positions it for medium to thick hair; it has a separate primer for ultra-fine hair
