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

[@ciaraalyse5382]

Calling all low porosity girls, these are two totally different products one has protein and the other doesn’t. Our hair can’t handle too much protein so I’d definitely recommend olaplex No.3 for a weekly treatment and the curlsmith bond as a monthly treatment

Curlsmith is a protein treatment + conditioner while olaplex is a bonding treatment not meant to condition the hair (look at the ingredients). Curlsmith will have effects you can see and feel because it’s a conditioner and olaplex makes changes on a molecular level that you wouldn’t be able to see without a microscope - you definitely can’t see the hair bonding, which is totally different from clumping.

Yes olaplex 3 is the take home weaker maintenance product that you use in between salon visits until your stylist can give you 1&2. Olaplex 3 doesn’t compare to the 1&2 combination.

I keep hearing the same thing about Olaplex No. 3 but it is a bond Perfector NOT Protector!

[@jasmineedwards3055]

Yes ! I'm so glad curlsmith came out with one ! It's more for your money & Olaplex is hard to find , I only can get it in Sephora. I will definitely try it out.

[@charise773]

I don't think it's a true comparison. You need to use the olaplex line to compare it truly. But thank you for the video.

[@KimberlyCherrell]

Ive used it in several other videos... Its still just ok.

[@sihamal8061]

I’m not sure about this brand as I was surprised to find that some of their products contains sodium hydroxide in the ingredients, it’s the main ingredient used in hair relaxers that makes the hair straight as well it’s the main ingredient for drain cleaners or unclogging drains, I don’t know what else they use let’s not forget Deva curls disaster, do your research and don’t use products before checking the ingredients and that’s what I do as well there are certain products that contain ingredients which transfer to formaldehyde when you use them, mostly found in tresemme so watch out as this brand or others could do the same.. If you don’t believe me check Curls Smith wash & scrub detox pro-biotic shampoo ingredients and it’s not the only one, sodium hydroxide cause cancer, skin irritation and hair loss and more..

Love to see it, curls looked GLORIOUS! Also loved the tone of this video a lil OG natural hair KZbin which I’m here for! Happy New Year Fren🥳🎇🎉🥂

I Love Olaplex 3, 4 & 5. It's all protein free strengthening and really works on my kinks. Haven't tried Curlsmith yet but I've heard it's nice. Perhaps when it's protein treatment time.

[@Mztastyish]

So the curlsmith has protein?

I love your channel. I’m still learning about Olaplex. How did you determine to start with No. 3 without using No. 0, 1 and 2? I see some use some or all of the steps so I’m still trying to figure it out. Thank you.

Go the website take the quiz

Hey Beauty. I know I'm late with this but Olaplex No. 0 and 3 goes together for optimum bonding results

Oooo I remember u talking about doing this versus

[@ninanano]

These products have different purposes though

[@MsRebeccaLovely]

This is not a comparison, this is an endorsement. They can’t be compared l, olaplex has no protein in it it’s a bonding agent, you may use a protein after olaplex. Where as curl smith is a protein treatment, no comparison

[@KimberlyCherrell]

What you mean to say is it’s not a “true” or “fair” comparison. But any 2 things can always be compared.

I’m heading to Ulta now to purchase the Curlsmith one. I haven’t had a real protein treatment in a while and my curls have been looking limp lately so I hope this helps. Thanks for an amazing review love! ❤️

I couldn’t find this bond curl salve on the curl Smith website or Amazon but did find on More.com website thank goodness as I already purchased Olaplex no.3 but not happy about price for such a small bottle! Anyway glad I found it as I watched a couple bloggers like yourself so I can analyse the difference between the Curlsmith and Olaplex products.

It's the Curl Smith for me. I recognize the hair tie anywhere. It is one of my favorites.

How much did this cost in comparison to 28 bucks for olaplex?

It’s $29 so only a dollar more but you get better ingredients and more product

I just need HELP. my low porosity hair just BREAKS all the tiiimee. It’s long and full but gets stuck at the same length because of the breakage.

Hey Fren!!!!

[@tomekacarroll384]

What song is this??😍

[@Beshashem]

So, it's a protein? My hair is protein sensitive and breaks off with protein treatments. Sigh

[@jaydenicole4063]

As low porosity for mariah an protein sensitive you’re still suppose to use it at least once a month. So you could do this once a month.

[@Beshashem]

Jayde Judon ok thanks! I normally just run away from anything protein related when it comes to my hair. I'll definitely give it a try

[@aliciagillespie4255]

It's a bonding treatment so it may not impact your hair the same way regular protein treatments do. My hair is also protein sensitive but I use Olaplex all of the time with no issues. I'm hoping this Curlsmith one works well on my hair too 🤞🏾

[@jaydenicole4063]

@@aliciagillespie4255 so what your saying is we would do the bonding one first, then clarify shampoo, and a protein conditioner? I’m still getting the hang of the whole protein thing. Because you can’t completely neglect it we some what need it. It can even be once every few months depends.

[@Beshashem]

Alicia Gillespie thanks! Well, if you have protein sensitive hair as well and you use olaplex that's a good sign that the chance of it breaking my hair is low. I'll give it a try

[@gina10453]

I think it’s application OLAPLEX ppl use minimal because of cost and you get less product they sell jumbo size once or twice a year curl smith has Protein OLAPLEX has no protein Curlsmith products for styling are amazing

[@missdolphin131]

Love it!! Omg what kind of hair tie is that!!

[@indiaimani243]

Idk a lot about my natural hair and trying to learn since I’ve always kept it straight since i was young. I know it’s high porosity for sure but do you know if curlsmith is okay to try on more heat damaged hair?

[@deketraonaanderson4515]

Your skin looks so good!

[@KimberlyCherrell]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@misselaineous3591]

I wish you would have continued to use the Oleplex products on the left side of your hair so we could see the true comparison after using all of the styling products. Thanks for the intro to Curlsmith though.

[@anonymouse7877]

The olaplex 3 is supposed to be used with olaplex 1, not water. Don't know if that made a diff.

[@rachray83]

I used no 3 and no 0 together on my 2 months old highlighted hair & bought curlsmith for down the road as a monthly protein treatment.

[@pomegranateemporium]

Please help me girl - so I'm in moisture overload I saw that you used the aphogee protein treatment - do you reckon I can use the curlsmith treatment to correct this? Or should I use the aphogee to "reset" and the curlsmith to maintain?? 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@speaktruthpeace1612]

Beautiful hair! Don’t over complicated it. Based on the comments, most of the girls don’t understand high-low porosity🤦🏽‍♀️. If you have colored hair (light auburn, blonde, etc…) lean on Olaplex 0&3. Colored hair needs moister and hydration. If you add protein, you need to immediately add condition and keep conditioning to add the moister back.

[@africanobsession]

What’s your hair porosity? 🤔

[@sharonburton6801]

She's low perosity

[@acmcgowan751]

Your hair is just plum lovely and healthy. Blessings.

[@chillgirld]

So can this be used in place of a protein treatment or is it only supposed to just be used once and can this be used with any other conditioner and shampoo

[@nhaomiedouyon2392]

I tend to clarify with APV and water. If I put this in my regimen would I do this after I clarify? Can this be done on clean hair?

[@sashadonyae]

[@Tarotntattoos]

hey FRENNN so I wish I would have seen this video sooner I just tried olapex today! but watching this video makes me think that olaplex stretches your curls. I only say that because I noticed my curls were more stretched but it felt good and stronger an your left side looked more stretched to me. im definitely going to try out curl smith because olaplex definitely isn't giving enough product

[@nicolegoodwin7875]

I love olaplex. I first tried 0, 3,4,5,8. I wasn't sure at first if I noticed a difference after the first treatment. 2nd use, I noticed more of a difference. I decided to have a cosmetologist to purchase no. 1& 2 for me. I noticed a big difference but u should only use 1&2 once a month. I use the rest of olaplex once a week. It definitely bonds the hair and strengthens it. I heard good things about curlsmith but I doubt if I will try it because I'm to in love with olaplex.
