CURLSMITH - Bond Curl Rehab Salve, Bond Building Strength Treatment for Weak, Damaged Hair (8 fl oz)

My hair aka (Coco) loves this stuff. My hair held curls great using this bonding treatment. I will recommend this to anyone. My hair was soft. Used on damp hair which made it easy to detangle. Great product.

If you don’t want to read the entire thing. Just know it’s worth the buy and does amazing things to curly/wavy damaged hair.Backstory on my hair: I had a bad bleach job done to my hair about a year ago. It cost me 5.5 inches of my hair. I slowly cut the hair off over the past year. I still have some random spots in the ends that are still damaged but mostly my hairs back to normal from that. BUT those spots that are damaged are noticeable due to my textured hair because they fall flat and straight.I’m a 2c/3a texture type. In the past year I have tried all the leave in conditioners, moisturizing hair masks, olaplex bond repairs, anything you can think of.So in rolls this curlsmith product. I try it with not much hope it’ll mend these few spots in my hair but I’m always down to try something new.First use I put it all over my hair and leave on for 1 hour. (Directions say 15 minutes minimum or up to 1 hour.) wash shampoo/condition/style like normal.I look in the mirror shocked. My curls have come to life.The shine, the definition, the bounce of my curls were unmatched. I couldn’t believe it!The second time trying it I only put it on my ends about 3.5 inches of it and did it for only 15 minutes.Still the same result! My curls came back to life and were extremely moisturized.I would say doing the hour all over my head was amazing but if you are rushing and only have the chance to do 15 minutes it’s still doing the job.It’s NOT a “dupe” of anything. This is the real deal on its own.

I love this product and it works even better than k18 bc it addresses 3 bonds instead of 2. It’s curly girl friendly and really strengthens my hair

Saved my curls

Wonderful product

When the bottle first arrived, I was not impressed. For the price, I felt like it was a very small amount of product. And there’s no security seal. Twist the lid off and the product is open, no seal at all. I do recommend the manufacturer change that.My hair is fine and I have a lot. As I’ve aged, it’s started thinning and it’s always seems to be frizzy. I’ve never learned about hair porosity, but after reading the directions I found that I have low porosity hair, which means it doesn’t soak up much product. Anyway, that knowledge in itself, I think, was incredibly helpful.This product goes along way. I usually have to use a lot of conditioner, but this just required a quarter size amount to cover all of my hair. Quite surprising! I think it smells wonderful. I really, really like the smell. And it stays in all day. The picture of my hair is after the first use. I’ll try to remember to update after a while of use. But I will continue to buy this product. It makes my hair look and feel better.

The pictures shown are in chronological order. I’ve always preferred to heat style my hair. In 2023, my blow dryer stopped working so I chose to get my hair straightened in a salon. I told the stylist to use very low heat as I didn’t care for it being super straight. She didn’t follow through with this and my hair got severely damaged (pictures 1 and 2). I cried. A lot. I searched online for sth that could help repair my hair and found this and decided to give it a try. From the very first wash, I could tell that something was happening here. I didn’t lose as much hair and my curls and coils were starting to look more uniform. It’s been about a year and I can say that my hair is fully healed. I lost a lot of length and density but it is growing back in steadily. The one other thing I altered in my hair care was taking a break from heat styling. Anyone out there who recently suffered heat damage, give this product a try. Btw, I’ve only used one 8oz bottle to heal my hair; it’s worth every penny.

I use it but I don't feel a big difference so I wouldn't purchase this again. But it wasn't awful either so I would encourage you to try it maybe you'll like it better
