The One Hair Product I Can’t Do Summer Without
By Victoria Vallecorse
If you have parched, coarse, or brittle hair, you’re familiar with the struggle of finding the perfect combination of products for moisturized and manageable strands—especially during the summertime. For me, beach days usually yield a tangled mountain of frizz, which gives more tumbleweed vibes than the desired mermaid mane.
I have tried just about everything from layering leave-ins and oils to heavily applying gels and sprays in an effort to tame my dry, unruly hair. However, the intense product buildup always made my strands appear dull and dehydrated. After searching high and low for a product that provides nourishment and frizz protection in one simple formula, I came across Bumble and bumble’s Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Primer.
With just a few spritzes, I was able to easily comb through instantly softened strands. When the product dried, I couldn’t believe how naturally smooth and hydrated my hair looked!
I often apply heat to my naturally curly hair because my curls rarely stay in tact without massive quantities of product. This primer allows me to rock my natural hair with little to no effort. Now, I simply spray and go for weightless ringlets sans the crunchy layer of product build-up. When I want sleek, straight strands, I still reach for Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Primer, as it envelops my hair in a heat-protective layer of hydration making my usually uncooperative hair incredibly manageable.
What I love about this product is how versatile it is—I’ve used it as a detangler, leave-in, and heat/UV protectant! Below are my five favorite ways to use this powerhouse primer:
1. Leave in Conditioner
A couple of spritzes tames frizz and deeply moisturizes dry, damaged, and color- treated hair of all textures. With a superstar line-up of hair-nourishing ingredients, including coconut, argan, and macadamia nut oils, Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Primer leaves my hair defined, de-puffed, and deeply hydrated. For naturally curly hair, I recommend spraying the primer throughout strands, combing through, and twisting small sections to create more defined ringlets.
2. Detangler
Even though the formula is filled with deeply nourishing oils, it’s surprisingly weightless on my hair. Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Primer softens even the most tangled strands for easy styling without adding any extra weight. I usually mist the product throughout my wet hair after showering, rake it through, and style. For defined beach waves, I recommend spraying your hair from mid-shafts to ends, braiding, and letting air-dry. If your hair isn't naturally wavy, you can add a dab of gel or pomade for extra hold.
3. UV Protectant
I always slip Invisible Oil Primer in my bag before heading to the beach! Formulated with UV filters, use this spray during sun-soaked summer days to help shield strands from damaging rays. Spray it on before heading to the beach or pool, and take it with you to reapply after water exposure.
4. Heat Protectant
I used to layer a leave-in conditioner, frizz lotion, and heat protecting spray on my hair before styling! Now I simply spray Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Primer throughout my hair before blow-drying, curling, and straightening. The formula withstands high temperatures to completely guard my strands from breakage. Just spray and style for silky-smooth hair and tamed flyaways. For extra shine, I suggest adding a spritz of Hairdresser’s Dry Oil Finishing Spray after styling.
5. Refreshing Spray
The spray’s feather-light texture makes it perfect for daily use without any build-up. On day one, I spray this primer throughout my wet hair, comb, and style. In subsequent days, I apply to my dry hair, concentrating on the ends, to bring my curls back to life. Spritz after swimming or sun exposure to restyle and infuse your hair with added moisture.
