Details

Benefits

  • Incredibly lightweight formula created with a blend of next-generation weightless oils, instantly absorbs without weighing the hair down
  • Locks in moisture and helps prevent frizz and dryness
  • Softens gel cast to get rid of the crunchy feeling and provides bouncy, soft, touchable results every time
  • Helps seal split ends and reduce signs of damage
  • Makes hair look shiny and silky smooth
  • Our hair is made of a keratin structure, which is reinforced by so-called hair bonds. Curlsmith’s Bonding Oil targets bonds to seal cuticles and reinforce the hair structure
  • 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.
  • Designed for all curls and texture types, this product is also suitable for straight hair

Key Ingredients

  • Vegan Keratin: made of Chickpea, Quinoa and Lentil proteins, designed to penetrate the hair shaft to fortify the hair’s structure
  • Castor oil blend: seals cuticles and smoothes down split ends and hair fibers, making hair look shinier and silky
  • Sea Buckthorn oil: nourishes strands while adding softness and shine
  • Next generation blend of Olive and Shea, which takes their nourishing properties but makes them super lightweight

Use one pump per hair section. Works best when applied on dry hair. If using on wash day, apply after fully diffusing or air drying. Smooth over curls to seal in all the moisture and tame cuticles. Gently scrunch through to break crunchy gel casts and make your hair soft and bouncy.

How to get the best from your curls

If your hair feels crunchy because you have used a strong hold gel don't worry - that's only temporary!

Once fully dry, use one pump of Oil per hair section to gently scrunch out the crunch and return your curls to soft, bouncy goodness.

Only okay for wavy hair

I'd like to rate this a 3, but a few pluses notch it up to 4. I think this can be good for the right hair strand thickness. I have mostly 2B waves with 2C on my underside layers and a few struggling 3A curls sporadically through my hair. My hair is also extremely fine, naturally blonde, and I live ...

Makes hair crispy

I really wanted to like this oil since I've been trying to find a good silicone-free oil that performs as well as my silicone ones.

You need this product!!! I have thick frizzy wavy+straight very hard to manage hair and styling was always an exausting experience. Im a busy person and have been looking for that ONE product i can slap on and be on the go with beautiful hair. This is that saving grace!!!! Its light and soft in the hair. Use a tiny amount in sections and life will come back in ur hair. I can curl and blowdry and straighten my hair and it actually obeys me and looks amazing 🤗

Hair Type Straight Hair

I use this with curlsmith's hold me softly style balm on my straight hair and my daughter's wavy hair. I like the combination of both products along with the frizz control shampoo and conditioner. We've tried a lot with my daughter's hair and so far this is the best. There is a lovely scent to it but it is strong for my family, that's the only reason I have it four stars.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Very liquidy, a little goes a long way. It did get rid of frizz. Not an oil to go crazy over, definetely wouldn't buy again full price, maybe on sale. Still looking for my go-2 hair oil.
