Have tested this product on client after client. I work in the fashion industry doing hair for some of the major clothing brands that you know and love. Many models arrive with tangled hair. I use Super comb prep and I get so many products in one. It delivers conditioning, healthy hair, detangles, and helps the styling process. I spray a couple pumps of this comb and detangles the hair and add Thermal styling spray for heat protectant and to hold the curls in place. Perfect combo! The added plus is the products smell so great.

I received a sample of this in my Birchbox and loved it. It made my hair really smooth without being super greasy, which products like this tend to do with my hair. I don’t necessarily have a huge tangle issue but it kept my hair really soft.

I was first introduced to your products via Birchbox..shampoo,conditioner, and style aids!! I feel the most important product will be Super Comb and Protect from UV rays, heat damage, and condition protection plus the comb that comes with it!! Whatever style after shampoo & condition, you got to protect your hair first!!

I absolutely love this spray! I got a sample of it in a subscription, and it’s absolutely phenomenal. The smell is amazing, and I love that it protects my dyed red hair from both the flat iron and from fading in the sun.

I received this in my Birchbox and absolutely love it! My daughter always wants to use my special spray and on special occasions I let her. This makes my thick wavy hair feel amazing and the tangles fall right out! And that smell! I love the smell probably my favorite thing about it! Thank you for such an amazing product!

I simply cannot do without Super Comb Prep & Protect. My hair was really showing the effects of blow drying, straightening, sun damage, and age-but this product restores my hair every time. On the rare occasion I run out of it, there is a noticeable difference. Also, did I mention I love the smell of it?
Karen Cogburn –
This is all I use when flat ironing or blow drying. Perfect protection for damaged hair. It smells lovely also. Many compliments since using. Recommend to friends & family.

I was never a fan of detanglers until I received this as a sample. I used heavy leave in conditioners and my hair was greasy by the end of the day. This Supercomb Prep and Protect is magic in a bottle! It’s weightless, the fragrance is light and my hair is so soft after I use it! This is definitely a staple to my hair routine now!

Thanks to Birchbox, I have fallen head I’ve heels for this leave-in conditioner! I received a sample in my Birchbox and had to have a full-size. The smell is amazing, but the way it has transformed my hair is even more amazing. I will never use another leave-in!

I first received this as a sample in my Birchbox subscription, and was so excited to try it out. It did not disappoint! I love having low maintenance looks, and tend to keep my heat styling to a minimum and am always on the look out for great leave-in conditioners. After 5+ years of trying dozens of leave-in conditioners, this is BY FAR my favorite! It was amazed by how shiny, sleek, and smooth it made my hair. I got so many comments after I started using it about how healthy my hair looked!! It is so easy to use, it combs through my hair easily and evenly, and actually seemed to cut down the amount of time I needed to blow dry my hair (which is a MAJOR selling point for me). It’s one of the few Birchbox samples I have actually bought after trying!

I first received a sampe of this in a birchbox subscription. I thought this product was so effective that I’ve repurchased it twiced now. I love the way it smells and how it protects my hair when I’m blow drying it. Now that I’ve discovered this product, I don’t think I could ever go without it.

Love! Works great in mine and my daughters hair! We both have fine, thin hair. Gives great gloss to our hair without leaving oil residue and helps maintain style throughout day!

This is the absolute greatest prepping spray for people who have platinum hair! My hair can start looking fried when it gets bleached and then heat styled, however, since I started using Number 4 Super Comb Prep and Protect my hair has been flawless and it looks so healthy!
mrpurifoy –
I use this product every day! It smells delicious and does not weigh my hair down. I extends the life of my color which is priceless. Best product I use!
