PRIME AND PROTECT 4/ CURLSMITH Super Slip Pre-Biotic Primer 355ml / £23 3/ KÉRASTASE Specifique Potentialiste Hair Serum 90ml / £37.70 produce a lot of interesting prebiotics that will soothe and rebalance the scalp,” she explains. “The bacteria see your hair as their ecosystem, and care for it, nourishing it with vitamins and nutrients.” Techniques such as priming can also contribute to good hair and scalp health, and are particularly important for those with “coloured, dry, damaged, curly or permed hair,” says Mark. “The hair shaft has little gaps between the cuticle layers that get ruffled, so priming the hair can close these layers down or fill the gaps to smooth the hair, or at least give the appearance of smoother, shinier hair. Priming can also stop your hair breaking when it is put under pressure from heat styling or even combing.” Marie believes that prebiotics should form the base of all good haircare routines.
