Primer Pre-Styling Leave-In 110ml - Cadiveu Brasil Cacau is the pre-styling, leave-in step of the Brasil Cacau Anti-Frizz line: a no-rinse spray you apply to wet hair before blow-drying and styling. Its cationic conditioning film, built on silicones (cyclopentasiloxane, amodimethicone, dimethicone), hydrolyzed keratin and D-panthenol, smooths the surface, controls frizz and holds humidity out, while a UV filter (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate) helps shield the hair and its colour from sun and external aggressions. The pack lists five protective barriers: frizz control, external aggressions, a heat-styling buffer, colour protection and anti-humidity, in a 110ml spray.

Why the Primer

Frizz-prone hair benefits from a smoothing, protective base before heat styling, and that is what this leave-in is for. Sprayed on wet hair and combed through, its film of silicones, hydrolyzed keratin and D-panthenol coats the fibre so the surface reads smoother, frizz is held down and humidity has less grip through the day. The UV filter (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate) adds a shield against sun and external aggressions, and the conditioning layer gives the hair some cushioning as you brush and blow-dry. It sits between the Anti-Frizz Conditioner and your styling, and pairs with the Anti-Frizz Shampoo at the start of the routine.

Key Ingredients

The smoothing film sits on silicones (cyclopentasiloxane, amodimethicone, dimethicone) with cationic conditioning agents (behentrimonium chloride, cetrimonium chloride, polyquaternium-7) that lay down slip and control frizz, hydrolyzed keratin and D-panthenol for a conditioning feel, and cocoa seed butter for softness. A UV filter, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, is the named mechanism behind the colour and external-aggression barriers. There is no smoothing or straightening active: it conditions and preps the surface, it does not change the hair chemically. It contains keratin, so it is not vegan, and it is not silicone-free.

What to Expect

Hair sprayed with the Primer combs through more easily and feels smoother and more conditioned as you style, with frizz held down and less of the roughness humidity brings. Because it is a leave-in film rather than a wash-out product, the smoothing and the protective layer stay on through the blow-dry and the day. It is a styling-prep step, so the effect is a smoother, more manageable base for whatever style follows rather than a treatment on its own: used before every blow-dry, it keeps frizz-prone hair easier to handle.

Who It Is For

• Frizz-prone, unruly or humidity-sensitive hair that wants a smoothing base before styling
• Anyone who blow-dries or heat-styles and wants a conditioning, protective leave-in first
• Coloured hair that wants a UV-filter layer against sun and external aggressions

Who It Is Not For

• A client who wants a vegan formula, which this is not, as it contains hydrolyzed keratin
• Anyone after a silicone-free leave-in, which this is not
• Someone chasing a single spritz on dry ends at the door instead of a base combed through wet hair

Professional tip: spray it evenly onto clean, wet hair, comb from roots to tips so the film is spread through every section, and then blow-dry and style. Use it after the Anti-Frizz Conditioner, and finish styled hair with the Gradual Smooth Serum where you want extra smoothness.

How to Use

Run a sensitivity test before first use. Spray onto clean, wet hair and comb from root to tip. Do not rinse. Then style: activate the film by blow-drying and brushing the hair as usual. Use before every blow-dry. Follow with the Gradual Smooth Serum on the lengths for extra smoothness if you like.

Where It Fits in Your Routine

The Primer is the pre-styling leave-in of the Anti-Frizz line within the Brasil Cacau home care range. Wash with the Anti-Frizz Shampoo, follow with the Anti-Frizz Conditioner, then spray the Primer through wet hair before you blow-dry and style. Finish, if you like, with the Gradual Smooth Serum on the lengths. It suits frizz-prone hair maintaining a smoothing done with any of the Brasil Cacau smoothing systems as much as frizz-prone hair on its own.
