CURLSMITHBond Curl Rehab Salve (2oz)

Made my type 4 curls really pop just with leave in conditioner alone. I was pleased with how soft my hair was and how little manipulation I have to do with my wash & go’s now. I use this along with Curlsmith’s Double Cream Deep Quencher.

I tried so many things for my high porosity curly hair, high end and drugstore! This is the only thing that works, im getting the biggest bottle! This safe my curly bleach hair!

I will definitely continue using Curl Smith Gel. I have thin curly hair that gets easily bogged down by heavy products and curling gels. This gel is lightweight and not only helps to hold my curls, but also gives me volume.

I didn't have high hopes for this product because it seems like every social media influencer with wavy/curly hair is getting paid to make advertising for them instead of posting honest reviews, and the price is pretty high. I've used other products that were much cheaper per oz, that claimed to repair damaged hair, but didn't do anything more than regular conditioners.I have 3" past shoulder length, mostly wavy (2a-3c), fine, high porosity hair. My mom's hair is straight, and I don't have any sisters, so I never really learned how to care for wavy/curly hair. I just bought whatever cheap shampoo I liked the smell of, conditioned with whatever else was cheap, and had a bad habit of putting my hair up in a bun while it was still wet. I never used ANY products beyond the rare spritz of a leave in conditioner if my hair was particularly static-y, so learning how to take care of my hair without spending money I don't have has been quite the journey, and I still have more to learn.I currently use Johnson's kids shiny and soft shampoo, Alberto VO5 strawberries and cream conditioner (both of which have a small amount of protein), and I've been trying different hair masks roughly every 2 weeks (Shea Moisture Curl and Shine Hair Mask, and Mielle Babassu and Mint Deep Conditioner). I haven't found any styling products that I'm particularly fond of (mostly because of time and cost), so after washing I usually just scrunch the water out of my hair with a small towel from The Perfect Haircare, then plop in a towel/turban from the same company, and after 25 or so minutes I take it down and let it air dry.The times I've used mouse, curl cream, gel, etc. my waves/curls lack definition, and my clumps are stringy. I'm also still having issues with frizz all around my hairline in front and back, regardless of what I do, so I thought I would try a product with more protein to see if it would help. Twelve bucks is a lot for 2oz, but I figured if it didn't help I'd rather be out just 12 and not the price of a full bottle.I divided my hair into four sections, and applied the bond curl rehab salve to each section, brushing through with a tangle teezer brush, and made sure my hair was entirely saturated. Hard to say how much off the container I used because it's opaque, but I think roughly half for my whole head. After I applied to each section, I twisted that section into a bun and secured it with a scrunchy. I then left it on the rest of the day, and overnight.The next day I washed it out with my kids shampoo, and conditioned like normal. I did use some leave in conditioner (Shea Moisture Hydrate + Repair Multi-Action Leave-In) because protein treatments can leave your hair feeling dry.When my hair dried, it had the most wonderful, silky feel to it! My frizz was mostly gone, and I couldn't stop running my hands through my hair. I can't speak to how much it affected my waves/curls because I didn't style my hair at all; I ended up with loose gentle waves throughout. My hair usually tangles in the back pretty badly by the end of the day, but for the two days after I used this product, it's been silky smooth. I can run my hands through my hair at night, and I might encounter one loose knot. Today is wash day again, so I'll be able to gauge how often I need to use it, and what it does for my curls with styling products. Even if it does nothing for the curl itself, I'll probably keep using it sparingly just for the slip it provides my hair when dry.

I haven't gotten to use this product on my own hair yet, but I'm excited too. I am a stylist and I work in a high-end salon I love these products I was never exposed to them before working in this particular salon. As a matter of fact I couldn't think of anywhere else to buy them other than here.. anyhow this is a great brand you can't go wrong. Great value for the money. Curly hair needs a special type of attention, kind of like that one child you have... Special product for that special type. Love it!

I got this product to replace my Olaplex #3. However, I've used it twice and it has made no difference in my hair whatsoever.

The second i applied this to my hair it left my hair feeling soft. I noticed an immediate difference after my first use. My hair is straight naturally but i have permed curls on about 3/4 of my hair which I'm growing out . I've permed my hair 4 times so it is fairly chemically damaged. No amount of conditioning products could restore my hair the way this product did. My hair looks and feels healthy. Absolutely worth it.

My hair has changed a lot with age. Used to be curly but now more wavy. Was losing alot of hair in shower despite good shampoo and conditioner. I have been using Curlsmith leave in conditioner and styling gel, so I thought about trying this in a small tube (in case did not work). Seems to have helped esp after the 2nd application. Less hair in drain. I use about twice a month. Rinsed hair well. Blotted excess water with towel. Added bond curl. Put a shower cap on and let sit for about 30-40 minutes then shampooed and conditioned as usual.
