  • Description

    More moisture; more protection. Primer is a weightless leave-in mist that brings together the smoothing and detangling benefits of cutting-edge actives with substantial protection from heat (up to 450°F), humidity, pollution and UV rays. Think of it as an invisible shield that locks in moisture and helps your other products work harder.

    Use Primer as a prep step—after cleansing with New Wash or between wash days—for strands that are silky, safeguarded and set for whatever style comes next.

    The semicolon represents a smooth transition between two connected thoughts; in your haircare routine, Primer marks where cleansing ends and styling begins.

  • What is Primer?

    Primer is a smoothing and moisturizing protection mist that infuses moisture, helps boost the efficacy of the next steps in your routine and primes hair for manageable styling. Rather than moisturizing hair through heavy and greasy emulsions, Primer is a weightless active mist with cutting-edge actives clinically proven to moisturize, detangle, smooth and protect hair from heat (up to 450°F) and external aggressors like humidity, pollution and UV rays.

  • Who can use Primer?

    Primer can be used on every hair type and texture.

  • What does the texture of Primer feel/look like?

    Primer is weightless and airy—imagine the texture as a delicate veil that effortlessly glides through your hair. As you spray it, you’ll feel a fine mist enveloping each strand, leaving behind a sensation of softness and hydration. Despite its lightweight nature, it offers substantial protection, forming a shield against heat damage up to 450°F. It’s not greasy or sticky; instead, it imparts a silky smoothness that helps detangle knots with ease. With each spritz, it infuses your hair with moisture, keeping it nourished and safeguarded against environmental stressors. 

  • How do I use Primer?

    Mist Primer over dry or damp hair. Use your fingers to distribute evenly, then style as usual.

    Use solo before styling or as the last step of the New Wash Method: Pre-Wash, New Wash and Primer.

Lilac leaf culture provides antioxidant and anti-pollution protection, smooths hair scales, reinforces natural protection and restores natural shine.

  • On our minds at all times: the health of your hair, your scalp and our planet. We developed New Wash as a detergent-free replacement for shampoo and conditioner that nourishes hair and uses less water. We also pioneered the use of refill pouches to reduce plastic waste and continue to lead the industry with sustainable practices and packaging.

  • Once upon a time (in 2015), we set out to create haircare that is smart, simple and sustainable. The key is naturally derived ingredients: Our revolutionary New Wash cleansing cream is formulated without the harsh, hair-stripping foams found in traditional shampoo, and our multitasking styling products further transform your strands and simplify your routine.
