Description
WHY USE CURLSMITH SUPER SLIP PRE-BIOTIC PRIMER:
This Primer is a pre-wash detangling treatment suitable for all hair types. It protects the hair from the stripping effects of clarifying, detangling the strands and keeping hair soft and moisturized during washing.
HOW THE MAGIC HAPPENS:
Clarifying shampoos can feel a bit more stripping than regular cleansers, due to the higher level of cleansing ingredients they contain. Curlsmith Super-Slip Pre-Biotic Primer is a great solution to overcome this. It preps the hair before clarifying, as it creates a barrier that locks in moisture on the hair strands. This way you can detox the scalp without stripping away the moisture from your lengths.
WHAT MAKES CURLSMITH DIFFERENT:
Inspired by generations of homemade hair remedies, Curlsmith blends fresh curl-loving foods with kitchen cupboard staples and rare ingredients to make premium products that really work. The Primer is blended with stimulating Ginger Root, Wild Nettle and Fermented Rice Water, an ingredient used for centuries in Asia to keep hair long, strong, detangled and clean.
NO NASTIES:
All Curlsmith products have zero spoons of sulphates, silicones, mineral oils and phthalates. Plus they’re Vegan and Cruelty Free.
HOW TO USE:
Wet your hair thoroughly and apply on 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. Do not rinse out. Follow immediately with the Curlsmith Wash & Scrub Detox Pro-Biotic. The primer will protect your scalp while the shampoo clarifies it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how this product prepares my hair for the detox treatment. After applying it, detangling my thick hair is quick and easy. Recently when getting my haircut, my stylist complemented how healthy my hair is and I owe it all to Curlsmith products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the super-slip pre-wash. I initially bought the probiotic detox shampoo and used that without the super-slip pre-wash but boy what I difference it makes when you use both together. The pre-wash helps the detox shampoo really lather up nicely and gives the scalp a really good deep cleanse. It’s my favourite shampoo combo now - would highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The primer has amazing slip and works perfectly to get out the tangles before shampooing. I ordered it because it was on the last chance list but now I wish you would keep it in your collection or provide a substitute.

The @curlsmithUS really let me down changing the formula of the super slip pre wash 😤not to mention it's opaque cream that doesn't grip the hair now instead of it being the transparent viscous gel that coated my hair creating an ACTUAL slip that loosens any knot
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
I love this Pre-Wash Primer.

I love this Pre-Wash Primer. Ising it with the shampoo and the. Following up with the conditioner left my hair so clean and my scalp felt great. My only caution is to thoroughly read the directions as to how to use it properly. It should be left in through shampooing, I did not do that the first time and the results were obviously not as good. Excellent product!
Really love the extra clean

This is my least favorite product that I've tried from Curlsmith, and I still give it 4 stars. I prefer some of their other pre wash products. This did help with detangling.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really hopeful that this product was what it said, a pre shampoo to add slip to my hair to help with tangles. Unfortunately that's not what happened with my hair. Made the tangles worse, turning them into dry straw. Took 2x as much conditioner to detangle, and nearly a week of leave in conditioner to help treat and get my hair back to somewhat normal.
Great for super thick hair !

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!
