Silicone Primers
“It is important to note it is a non-silicone largely an oil based product. Silicones can protect the hair, reduce frizz, add shine however this product instead of containing synthetic silicones uses natural based plant oils to achieve these same things therefore if you have normal to well hydrated hair and/or use moderate to heavy application it should not be a surprise that it would make your hair greasy”

“A decent silicone based primer. I always feel like I need to use more than recommended because of how it goes on”
