Curlsmith Bond Curl Rehab Salve is a powerful blend of superfoods and fortifying active ingredients that targets all 3 of these bonds to repair, rebuild and restore hair fibre strength. It also provides protection to help against further damage. Balancing protein-rich and moisturizing products in your routine is key to healthy, strong hair. The more damaged and porous your hair is, the more protein-rich products from our Strength Recipes you should use. We love Olaplex because it delivers results. The products work as they say, and your hair genuinely looks better even after just a single use. However, you get the best results when you use Olaplex’s entire system, which is quite spendy, especially given how often you have to use it to see results. Chelating may require an experienced hair specialist or salon to complete. This is because chelating products tend to be more acidic, and actually remove minerals from inside the hair shaft. Clarifying your hair before this chelating treatment does help to prepare your scalp, and can help to reduce how often you need a chelating treatment. When Should You Clarify Your Curls?

We recommend that you leave in for a minimum of 10 minutes or longer if you desire but advise against more than 1 hour. ProCutigen Bond® complex to target disulphide bonds: ProCutiGen® Bond prevents the chemical damage that breaks the protein bonds of your hair, making it porous, weakened and more prone to breakage. This element is derived from chia seed protein, which harnesses the natural strength of the seed for its specific amino acid composition and its hair protection properties. It creates a bio-film on the hair that creates a supporting, interwoven matrix on the hair cuticle. A major benefit of the bio-film is its scaffolding ability rather than a true barrier. The end result helps to retain style while offering protection from chemical damage to promote healthy hair. TEGO® Cosmo complex, to target salt bonds: this contains creatine which is a natural amino acid derivative with a low molecular weight which should enable it to penetrate into the hair cortex. Due to its amino acid structure it can build bridges between different amino acids of the keratin fibers and increase the crosslinking. This will result in a decrease of fiber breakage and will improve the mechanical properties of hair. And their product performance isn’t lost despite being made from all-natural ingredients. CurlSmith tests its products multiple times and works tirelessly to make sure each item within its collections speaks true to the description. src": "//curlsmith.com/cdn/shop/products/2oz_BondCurlRehabSalve_b199e191-94a9-4b9a-a1b5-ebf953447bd5.jpg?v=1697459541",Apply stylers.

Weighed down hair - If your hair feels weighed down or your curls don’t have their usual bounce, and you find yourself refreshing your curls more often, it might be time to clarify. Bond Curl is a powerful blend of superfoods and patented active ingredients that targets all 3 types of hair bonds (hydrogen, salt, and disulphide) to repair, rebuild and restore hair fiber strength. It also provides protection to help against further damage. Bond Curl helps achieve this thanks to the following technology:

Curly Haircare for Beginners

Products don’t work the same - If even the best curly hair products don’t give you your desired results anymore, you may need to clarify. Bond Curl Rehab Salve is great for those who have coloured hair, although we recommend that you use it one week before or after your coloring service. Then, continue to use the treatment depending on your hair's porosity. Because of the chia proteins, you will see more shrinkage after using the Curlsmith Bond Curl Rehab Salve compared to when using Olaplex which is not a protein treatment.
