Expensive, but it made my hair incredibly soft.
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
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 repa
ir 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 am always skeptical of new hair products and try to manage my expectations regarding how well it will actually work on my hair. My hair is BAD: ultra low density, fine, wavy/curly, with bleach damage and loads of environmental damage (crazy humidity and heat PLUS i work in a factory that welds bits
of metal to ther bits of metal lots of heat grit and oil.)... It also HATES protein treatments as a rule. It gets stiff and strawlike and sometimes will just break off in chunks when I try to style it. At the end of the day this is just a suped up protein treatment. Coming from a bad hair place for reals. This jazz... holy smokes. It's not a miracle cure or magic wand to return your hair to virgin perfection but it's dang close. 1 application so far and there is a VAST improvement already. It feels softer, stronger, less tangles, less frizz, it even somehow feels thicker! Wtf?! Is this stuff even real?! By the time the 8oz is done I can only imagine how much better it will be. Absolutely blown away. This treatment has made such a difference in my confidence and happiness with my hair. I am now a curlsmith fan and intend to buy many, MANY more of their products.

Helped my older wavy long hair.
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
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.

Wow. I didn't have particularly high expectations but I was extremely pleased with the results. My hair is softer, tangles less when dry, and I didn't lose any curls. I've only done one treatment, so I don't know the long-term benefits, but I was pleased enough to bother writing a review.

This is so good I had to write my first review. I've recently began trying to wear my natural hair after years of brazilian blowouts, bleaching & coloring, and flat ironing and didnt even really know where to start. After a lot of research I realized my hair desparately needed protein so I decided to
try this out and it truly changed the game for me and cut down on styling time as I dont need to manipulate my curls at all. If you have high porosity and/or damaged hair you need this!!!

This bond treatment is AMAZING!!! It helped my hair bounce back from color damage (I was experiencing extreme dryness) and it left my curls super soft and defined. Extra points for the fragrance because it smells great but it wasn't overwhelming to where it triggered a migraine. This will definitely
be a new staple for me!

Wish it was cheaper or bigger bottle

I use this as often as I can, trying not to waste. The bottle is small. Product feels nice and smells great. I have long wavy hair so I need a lot of product to quench my hair but it’s a nice clean formula. I recommend it, use once in a while

My hair has been shedding so badly for the last few years. I lost all of my curls on one side of my hair too. I’m natural AA and I blowdry & straighten my hair at least once a month and usually wear my hair in wet set ponytails the rest of the time. I realized that wet hair makes my hair weak so now
I was looking to repair the damage and restore my curls. The photo shows how MUCH less shedding I’m having after using this product only one time! I have hope that my hair thickness will be restored now. I’ll be stocking up on this today.

In depth review- Amazing product for us textured haired babes!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
If you don’t want to read the entire thing. Just know it’s worth the buy and does amazing things to curly/wavy damaged hair. Backstory on my hair: I had a bad bleach job done to my hair about a year ago. It cost me 5.5 inches of my hair. I slowly cut the hair off over the past year. I still have some
random spots in the ends that are still damaged but mostly my hairs back to normal from that. BUT those spots that are damaged are noticeable due to my textured hair because they fall flat and straight. I’m a 2c/3a texture type. In the past year I have tried all the leave in conditioners, moisturizing hair masks, olaplex bond repairs, anything you can think of. So in rolls this curlsmith product. I try it with not much hope it’ll mend these few spots in my hair but I’m always down to try something new. First use I put it all over my hair and leave on for 1 hour. (Directions say 15 minutes minimum or up to 1 hour.) wash shampoo/condition/style like normal. I look in the mirror shocked. My curls have come to life. The shine, the definition, the bounce of my curls were unmatched. I couldn’t believe it! The second time trying it I only put it on my ends about 3.5 inches of it and did it for only 15 minutes. Still the same result! My curls came back to life and were extremely moisturized. I would say doing the hour all over my head was amazing but if you are rushing and only have the chance to do 15 minutes it’s still doing the job. It’s NOT a “dupe” of anything. This is the real deal on its own.

My hair has been feeling SOOO dry and breaking a lot. Did a porosity test, was surprised that my hair was so dry but had such low porosity. It doesn’t absorb any water that gets sprayed on it. Did almost an hour, my hair hasn’t felt this soft after rinsing in so long. It’s worth the hype and the mone
