Curlsmith Bond Curl Rehab Salve is an intense pre-shampoo treatment, rich in proteins that target hair bonds to strengthen and repair from the inside out.

Details

Benefits

  • Hair is made of a keratin structure, which is reinforced by so-called hair bonds. Curlsmith's Bond Curl targets all 3 types of hair bonds to help restore hair fiber strength.
  • Enriched with proteins to fortify the hair and make it more elastic.
  • Balancing protein-rich and moisturizing products in your routine is key to strengthen and protect the hair against damage. The more damaged and porous your hair is, the more protein-rich products you should use.
  • Proteins help lock in moisture better so hair looks hydrated, silkier and shiny.
  • Hair feels stronger and protected.
  • Reduces the appearance of damage and split ends
  • Makes hair look and feel healthier.
  • Helps tame frizz and make curls more defined.
  • Vegan, cruelty free, clean ingredients and curly girl friendly.
  • Designed for all curls and texture types.

Key Ingredients

  • Powerful and unique triple-active bond complex that targets and fortifies all three types of hair bonds that make up the hair structure
  • Chia proteins to help fight against damage to the hair keratin structure
  • Sweet Almond oil to seal nourishment into the hair shaft
  • Blend of nutrient-rich superfoods (Prickly Pear, Kale, Guava, Shiitake Mushroom, Blackcurrant and Pumpkin Seeds)

Formulated Without

  • Sulfates
  • Silicones
  • Drying alcohols

How To Use

Apply generously on damp hair until it is fully saturated. Leave on for a minimum of 15 minutes (or up to 30 if you have mid-high porosity hair due to coloring, heat styling or damage). Rinse off thoroughly and follow with your favorite Curlsmith Cleanser, Conditioner and Stylers.

How Often Should You Use The Bond Curl Rehab Salve?

This will depend on your hair's porosity. To find this out, spray some water on a strand of dry, clean, product-free hair.

  • High Porosity: The water will instantly absorb inside the hair. Use every 2-3 wash days for at least 30 minutes
  • Medium Porosity: The water will form droplets on the surface of the hair and then absorb inside. Use every 3-4 wash days for at least 20 minutes
  • Low Porosity: The water will form droplets on the surface of the hair, without absorbing. Use every 4-5 wash days for at least 15 minutes

What a huge difference!

First, I have asthma and allergies, so the scent of a product can be a deal breaker. I've had actual medical emergencies from the perfume used in hair products. For other people with scent issues, these are my usual triggers: perfume/cologne/etc, fruit scents, spice. This product has a noticeable sc...

Maybe next time, but not today.

Disclaimer, I'm recovering from years of moisture-overload, so keep that in mind as you read this review. Ngl, the first time I used this I didn't read the instructions and applied it like a deep conditioner. The second time I not only read the instructions, but I also watched two detailed videos ...

When i say worth every penny, i really mean that. I was hesitant to buy at first bc of the price and some of the reviews but im so glad i did buy it. I have chemical damgage from dyeing my hair too much so my hair has been brittle, breaking off, shedding, and getting tangled really easily for the past couple of months. My curls would fall so easily throughout the day, some parts of my hair would be straight just from me running my hands through it. I thought giving my hair a break from dye would help it but i was still experiencing major shedding and still having that coarse/rough feel to my hair. Used this last night while washing my hair and the next day… omg. I never realized how bad my curl pattern had gotten until i used this. This brought my curl pattern back, has my hair feeling smooth for the first time in a longgg time and has my hair looking shiny and healthy. The shine might be bc i used a curl pomade after washing but nonetheless this product is amazing. It was taking me so long to do my hair in the mornings bc of how much i had to manipulate the curls into coming back, now its a lot easier to style. Usually i hate shrinkage but this is the first time ive been glad to have my shrinkage back! And the shedding is basically gone after one use. Im so used to shedding at LEAST a handful of hair a day and after using this i was so shocked by how much hair i didnt lose lol. When i say i was shedding a lot, i could just run my hand through my curls once and have a couple of strands come out. I touched my hair all day after using this and practically nothing came out. This is the real deal!!
