CURLSMITH Bond Curl Vs OLAPLEX 3 | Bond Treatment Results on TYPE 4 Heat Damaged Natural Hair

[@RachelAdina]

So let's talk!! 1. Which bond treatment do you like best? 2. Does the street cred of Olaplex make you more prone to buy it than CurlSmith? 3. Do you think these bond treatments have made a difference on my heat damaged Natural hair?

[@22rajiboo]

The Curlsmith definitely gave more your hair more elasticity. My hair is also heat damaged and I have tried Olaplex. Olaplex definitely works after u wash it out but that Curlsmith looks like it starts working fr jump. I really wanted to see someone with actual damage try these products out. Will be adding that bond salve to my cart. I think the protein in the salve gave it that boost. Ur wash an go looks amazing...I'm striving to have my hair look like that again

[@RachelAdina]

I definitely agree, the extra protien in the Curlsmith did give it an edge! I hope your hair repsonse well to this new product! I have high hopes for it!

[@arosa6883]

I truly believe and know that the BOND treatments are a CURLY HAIR LIFE CHANGER!!!! Now you’ve helped me add Curlsmith to the mix! PSYCHED!!!

[@woman4women]

Olaplex is a molecular bond builder that works from the inside out, Curlsmith is a protein bonder that coats the strands. So while Curlsmith will give you definition right away, it isn't changing anything on the inside of the hair, just making it look better. Olaplex will over time fix the damage, not just stick the damaged strands together. I'd say use Olaplex first - then go on top with Curlsmith if you like - but skipping the Olaplex would be a mistake; think of your hair like your body - Olaplex is a workout routine, Curlsmith is good shapewear.

This description helps me. Thanks girlie!

[@ossier2796]

Well said

[@Nominaze]

Very mixed information, a lady on KZbin said something of the same thing you said. Except she said Curlsmith works inside to strengthen your bond. Which one is it???😩

[@woman4women]

@@Nominaze Both products have the same objective and both repair broken bonds, they just achieve it in a different way. Olaplex No. 3 has a patented ingredient that works on a molecular level, whereas Curlsmith contains natural protein ingredients to strengthen. Because Bond Curl is a protein treatment, there is a risk of protein overload if you use it too frequently and/or leave it on too long. Olaplex you can use 2-3 times per week.

[@keyaclay5874]

So helpful 😊

[@HiNinqi]

10:15 she thinks it's just as good as Olaplex 3. It gave her more slip and moisture during the application but the results were basically the same as the olaplex in the end. The pricepoint is better for the Curlsmith product.

[@schoolwerk3744]

“But not with your bonnet on. Take that bonnet off and go to the store and get it” 🤣 This caught me way off guard in the best way possible

[@gaebriellepoole5607]

So.... I need the Curlsmith. I'm glad I caught this because I was looking to buy an Olaplex Repair System Set. Not anymore!

[@NomadicGem]

"A bond builder is bonnet essential." That spoke to me. 😁

[@todo8328]

Girl you are a trip and a half! You made me click that bell. Thanks for your diligent and clever review.

[@CurlsofaCPA]

“Take that bonnet off and go get it” 😂😂😂

[@tracydowns2347]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Crystal_curls85]

The curl smith side looked shiny, curls looked more define. The slip is necessary. The amount of product was better for the price. It's possible curl smith won this time 👍🙂

[@jasminspepperpot8156]

#3 ,goes with the zero, it's smoother and cuticles open for penetration using 0.

[@samanthacanela5475]

oop..... going to buy both tomorrow. I can't figure out why my hairs been breaking, drying out, and just awful lately. thank you!

[@sparkdee2192]

I agree, curlsmith side is also darker it probably takes the dullness off too. You have a beautiful personality ♥️

[@RachelAdina]

Awww shucks!🥰 Thank you!

[@ladynefertitibk]

Goodness your curls are popping!

[@legsnhipsnbawdy]

Lmao, how is no one mentioning the "Christian wet t-shirt" line? That was the funniest thing I've heard all day!

[@RachelAdina]

😂😂😂😂

[@scrabblemistres]

Yesss ur was 😂

[@nicholemack6328]

I used curl smith's on my son's hair and it looked amazing! Having tried the other one yet still sitting in the bag but I will. Great video sister ❤️

[@sart1348]

Because of the way Olaplex is designed I find it works best on freshly washed (clarified) hair. It benefits from no barrier between the product and the hair. It also applies better on clean hair (saving $$$). I saw much better results this way using 0 and 3 . I think the damp hair guideline is more helpful for straight haired folks who probably use way less (or no) product in their hair. I use protein modestly in all parts of my routine (except styling) and so I don't see the benefit of protein pre poo unless there is serious damage or gummy hair. But your hair looked great 👍🏽you got the healthiest looking damaged hair ever lol

[@ShantaCS]

Do you shampoo again after using the Olaplex on clean hair or deep conditioning

[@davettacoleman2544]

You answered my question In the first few sentences “clarified hair” I actually wanted to know can you or should you prior to olaplex tx wash with a clarifier thanks 😊

[@ErnieDee]

“Bonnet essential “ - got it! I need to add a curl bonder to my routine

[@scarletkurono2814]

Curlsmith of course the smell is divine , it has slip and it makes my hair shiner and it gives us the worth for our money . One thing I noticed is that with olaplex my hair felt a little but dull and it left my hair crunchy like for 3 days I think on the fouth day it got better tho .

[@avaa1217]

I’m definitely buying the Curlsmith; maybe not until a sale but I’m buying it lol. It seemed just as good or maybe even a touch better but it’s the price per ounce for me!

[@m.lowery]

I definitely liked the Curl Smith on your hair. I saw an immediate difference. I know that you mentioned no sulfates or parabens, but is that absolutely true in the list of ingredients? I've become more aware of how companies will have those things, but will have them as the last ingredient.

[@RachelAdina]

Thank you for asking this question I double checked the ingredients jist now and it is truly paraben free you should also check out the website its in the description box.

[@m.lowery]

@@RachelAdina sounds good. Thank u for the speedy response.

[@P00py8UTT]

Just bought no3 and now I’m like SHOULD JAVE GOT CURLSMITH but I love how you said they’re both good

[@Ms.Jlovinglife]

You could definitely see that curl smith did a better job I will definitely Purchase some of their products thank you for this amazing video

[@RachelAdina]

Thank you and you're right Curlsmith is Holy Grailness for real!! However, if your hair is protein sensitive be prepared to have a really good moisturizing deep conditioner to follow up with.

[@Ms.Jlovinglife]

@@RachelAdina Thanks for the advice 😊

[@ebonyjohn9058]

This video is fire 🔥!!! Thank you for the honest review, music and glimpse at your children every now and then! Hope to see them in another video soon!! ❤️

[@DanteVelasquez]

There is also welaplex and redkin has one too.

[@pittsburghlovelv6613]

Is anyone sharing the differences between what the two products really are? OLAPLEX is not a protein treatment where Curl Smith has protein. I realize they use the new buzz word "bond" but are they really the same?

[@RachelAdina]

Both products are bond builders the difference between Olaplex and Curlsmith is that Curlsmith has more proteins in it than Olaplex I also believe that Curlsmith Added more ingredients to help with moisture and slip. I feel like they are the same in potency and benefits but Curlsmith is just more catered to the typical natural haircare needs. Does this answer your question? Let me know.❤

[@rachelroberts9162]

Omg I just love you 😂 information on point and had me laughing as I placed my order!! Yes sis you have a fan for life 🥰

[@RachelAdina]

Rachel… you gonna have me in tears I appreciate you!🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@englishlanguagewithnina5965]

Olaplex conditioner on its own does so much for my hair! I can't wait to try the CURLSMITH BOND Curl

[@kcwilder5077]

I luv this video 😍. I've added Olaplex to my hair routine, but I still feel like I need something else and you just help me find it. I really liked the results of the Curl Smith. Curl Smith is one of those product lines that overwhelmed me by the sheer number of products they offer. Thank you

[@ritamarge9216]

Stopped halfway to go order a bottle of Curlsmith's bond curl. We shall see.🤗🤞🏿

[@RachelAdina]

You will love it I promise! Just follow up with a moisturizing deep conditioner.

[@ahouse7803]

Love your video! Thank you so much for the info on WHYwe need a bond builder in our hair routine. I will now be adding this to my regime. PS. your hair is AMAZING. Curls and thickness!!

[@ArielMoriyah]

I know I'm late but can you use the recommended process for olaplex no 3. olaplex says no 0 and no 3 works in tandem so is this a fair comparison? Can you possibly repeat this using the recommended olaplex treatment?

[@LR-rt4km]

I am a 4c and have never been able to do a successful wash and go. I always have to twist my hair and then take the twist down later to wear it in a style I like. I douse olaplex and like the results but the price point. Yeesh. I have been curious about Bondsmith and am inclined to try. Thanks for the great video.

[@ShaySweetLicious]

So I absolutely loved your video I watched quite a few trying to gauge my opinion on which would be the best for me. I have ordered the curlsmith bond salve and I can’t wait to use it and see how my hair responds. Thank you for your honest review. Love your energy, you are a breath of fresh air. Stay just the way you are

[@JustOnePageAway]

Hey Sis! ❤️👋🏽❤️ I’m getting ready to watch this video and since I couldn’t find what I was originally looking for (which I’ll explain shortly), I’m def trying to see which products I want and need to buy? 🤔 I was trying to find a video that compares Kevin Murphy Restore vs Curlsmith Bond Curl Rehab Salve, but couldn’t find it anywhere! 🤦🏽‍♀️ lol In the future, will you PLEASE compare those two? If not it’s cool cuz I might just do it myself IDK 🤔 Anywho, let me get back to this video. ☺️ Thanks so much for sharing this! 🌹

Helli Rachel I am a new subscriber. Nice comparison video and your hair is beautiful. I bought Curlsmith products late last year and recently bought the Bond Salve. I will be using the Bond Salve my next wash day for the first time and looking forward to seeing the results. 🥰

[@yanimiller5856]

Olaplex builds inside out that why there no drastic results right away and olaplex has plant base protein you wouldn’t get protein overload you can even leave it over night.. I liked the curl smith when I didn’t have heat damage but it did nothing for bond building for me when I tried it when I got heat damage

[@cicelyb9718]

Excellent video and I love your voice I wish I could sing like that!

[@RachelAdina]

Awww thank you so much for watching!🥰🥰😍😘

[@teesnapz5830]

I don't know...bc Curlsmith is going on hair with bonds built by Olaplex...🤷🏿‍♀️ I'm going to start with Olaplex...maybe...🤦🏿‍♀️

[@RachelAdina]

That’s actually a good point sis! Olaplex was the first bond builder I used so the benefit could still be what I’m experiencing! The Curl Smith for the price as a 2 n 1 is still amazing though you won’t be disappointed either way!❤️

I really lije how the Curlsmith bond builder applied to your hair. I'd like to try the styler for my edges. Your edges was laid huuuuunty!

[@RachelAdina]

Listen I already converted it to a edge gel and it last for DAAAYZZZ. The only issue is that it's $30......🥴

[@ggqnice]

@@RachelAdina That price is steep, but anything that can lay your edges like that when you weren't even trying to lay them is worth the coin, IMO!

My hair is so dry, damaged and the curls are never defined. I have 3c 4a hair. Looking for olaplex results on KZbin and came across this. Gonna try them and see if it can help my hair😂

[@justinewilson3790]

Did it help? I have the same problem

[@sajoe1981]

I need something that doesn’t sit on top of the hair and the curlsmith seem to work instantly. I have a little heat damage and I’ve never heard of a bond smith and will be definitely giving it a try. So do you apply this before you wash and clarify or use it after you wash as a deep conditioner? I wonder if you could use it with heat or steam?

[@natashataylor881]

I have the same question. Should you clarify hair first and then use?

[@ambrosia1917]

your hair is so unique!

[@claudettewatkins4237]

Olaplex definitely penetrates more then curl smith it penetrates on a molecular level to instead of coating the hair its actually building an reconstructing the bonds from the inside out. Its gokd for damaged hair

[@BirungiSan]

Have you tried Epres?

[@fpincio]

I cannot use Olaplex, because it contains an ingredient which is a strong allergen for me. The whole head itches and dehydrates the hair. You say Curlsmith is a viable alternative?

[@RachelAdina]

I can totally relate there are some products my hair simply hates. I think Curlsmith rehab salve is a great alternative. Its a lot more gentle and because it’s mostly natural (if not all natural) it’s better overall.

[@torigreenaway192]

Thanks so much for the video ! CurlSmith won !!!!! ........ Question - Do you think i can follow up with a Protein Treatment Masque ( Aryuvedic herbs and Hydrolyzed proteins) to deep condition , then follow up with a moisturising conditioner ?

[@RachelAdina]

No problem at all thank you so much for watching! I think you can follow with a protein treatment but the Curlsmith is well balanced with bond ingredients and protein so I think you should skip the protein treatment and go straight to a moisturizing deep conditioning treatement!!

[@jmonroe3858]

Curlsmith for me

[@chocokpop01]

I don't think this is a good comparaison of the products, you should try to oppose the curlsmith bond curl with the olaplex 4-in-one moisture mask (or the no 8), this mask is more moisturizing and has a better slip, but the video was good on the overall 👍

[@RachelAdina]

Comparing this product to Olaplex 8 would make a great video! Thank you for the recommendation. Unfortunately Olaplex 8 came out after this video was created but now that it’s out I’ll probably try to do a video comparing the two.

[@monasummers7566]

I use olaplex but remember it's not a conditioner. So after I shampoo it out as per insrructions, i also deep condition weekly.

[@RachelAdina]

Same! A really good deep conditioner is always my go-to after this treatment!

[@smhjordyxx]
