Your hair looks gorgeous today! I use Curlsmith Bond Salve repair and love it.
That's so sweet! Thank you! That's awesome that your hair loves it!!! It's a fantastic product!
❤❤❤❤❤
I love that you bought a textbook!!!
I have tried both the Olaplex and the Curlsmith. Love them both but yes, the cost is somewhat a factor. I also like the fact that the Curlsmith contains some protein which my hair really likes. I have not tried the K19. BTW, the hair looks great today.
Thank you so much!
You nailed it Courtney! I've tried all 3 and my favorite is the curlsmith Bond treatment!😊
Thanks Sonia!
Now I’m curious about the new living proof bond treatment
I’m watching your video just in time as I am sitting with the Curlsmith Bond Curl Salve in my hair right now! I colored my hair and it needs some love!
That's funny! How did it go for you?
Love the Curlsmith Bond Rehab Salve Treatment 🥰❤️👌
💃💃💃
Your hair is goals today! 🙌🏻❤️
Awe, thank you!
Just ordered the Curlsmith Bond Treatment..can't wait to try as I love their products..also. your hair looks amazing 👏 😍
Thank you! I would love to know how it works for you!
I just tried the leave in bond repair by Living Proof and it’s fantastic! My hair likes it a lot more than k18 but it’s probably because my hair isn’t as damaged as it used to be. I highly recommend trying the Living Proof bond builder. Oh and the bond repair mask from Twist by Ouidad is FANTASTIC. Has such good slip and my hair responds well. You should try it. It’s not as intense as Olaplex. Your hair might like it better. Oh fyi I have virgin hair.
Ohhh good to know! Thank you!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney You're welcome. I would love to see how they work in your hair.
I also have virgin hair, and I also found olaplex wasn’t really my friend. I adore the Rehab Salve.
Ohhh interesting! Same results!
I have done Olaplex when I first started really focusing on taking care of my hair at the beginning of the year, and I loved it. I have been hearing a lot about Curlsmith Rehab Salve but wasn't sure how that was different and/or better and which one to invest in since I've been feeling the need for another bond repair treatment. Thank you for this video and explanation! I definitely feel more confident that Curlsmith is likely to help me the way my hair needs now!
You are so welcome! I am glad it has helped.
I prefer olaplex over curlsmith on the bonding treatment, but use curlsmith for anything else. My hair feels so soft and smooth after olaplex bond builder.
Excellent video Courtney!
That's awesome!!!
Courtney, your skin looks amazing! Would love a video on your skincare/makeup routine! 😃
I love the rehab salve! It gives great results! I like the olaplex, but I feel like since the curlsmith product also has protein, I get more out of it because I don’t have to buy a protein treatment too.
Two for One! I am there for that! 👏👏👏
I've got the curlsmith bond builder in my hair as I'm watching this 🤪
I've got extremely lightened hair that benefits a lot from it, but when my hair hasn't been thrashed, I don't think I've seen the same favorable results.
😂😂 How funny! And those results would make sense!
I’ve only used the rehab slave and it’s amazing.
That's awesome!!!
Learned so much from you! Polypeptides or peptides are popular over the years! I love them 😍
I use the Curlsmith product but that’s because I love all of their products! I have the other 2 as well but I’ve actually never tried them 😂🤷🏻♀️ they were already in my collection of graveyard products 😜
What do you know about people saying they have had hair loss from the oleplex?
I see ads for these treatments so much and have been wondering whether or not I should try one! Thanks Courtney!
Your welcome! I am glad it helped!
I have tried Olaplex and the Curlsmith Bond Repair. Disclaimer- I’m allergic to all nuts, shellfish, and multiple other things I have not figured out. I loved Olaplex for my hair, but had a terrible allergic reaction, not sure what is in it that caused it, one of the proteins most likely? Curlsmith has sweet almond oil, which I know I’m allergic to so that’s out. I’m going to try the K18 after my next full highlight at the end of the month, fingers crossed it works for me as far as any reaction goes!
Yikes! Those are rough ones, especially ALL nuts! You could always do a spot test first to be safe. Hopefully all goes well!
My hair loves K18 as well as Amika The Kure and the Redken Bond Builder. So many choices now!
There really is!
Same for me. The olaplex was OK the first couple times, but I actually got a straw-like result around the 3rd or 4th time. I didn't know it wasn't geared toward virgin hair. Thanks for this video! It was so helpful!
Eek! Well, I am glad this helped!
Inahsi now has bond building products including a mask. I LOVE them! They are so good!
Ohhh good to know! I love Inahsi as well!
If the price of K18 was lower OR if the company delved more into the science of hair repair to further justify the price, I would but it. I've tried the Olaplex, B&b, and Redken treatments.
Now I want to try this kind of treatment in my hair. Thanks for the video
Glad it helped! If you try it, let me know how it goes!
I use both olaplex and Bond Curl but I use them for my ancient Virgin ends. My hair is almost to my hips, coarse and wavy. It doesn't need much protein so I prefer olaplex, however with my hair being so long the ends are a different porosity and texture than the roots. So I often co these treatments on the last 18 inches of my hair and on the canopy to help the element damaged areas. I'm super tempted to try K18 but the $😱.
Great video! I am thinking to get the curlsmith because I think my hair needs protein but I have K 18 that I didn't use for a while. 😊
Thanks for the video I also love the Curlsmith Bond Salv best too. I have wavy-curly hair and see the most immediate change in my hair with it.
It's pretty crazy!
Thanks for this video! I have never tried a bond builder on my hair before. Definitely going to try it out.
I would love to know how they work for you!
My hair adores K18. I used it after I had my hightlights rinsed out, and my hair & waves looked like they had not been coloured. Normally they take 10 days to forgive me.
Wow!!! That is awesome!!!
Super interesting video! I love hair science with you!!
I wish my hair had an instant transformation with the Curlsmith Bond Curl Salve. I didn't see a much difference, so sad to say, I was disappointed. I'm using it every other week & have it on for about 20 minutes. My hair is virgin hair, just dry & course.
I’m having problem finding any wavy person with coarse hair to help me for example seeing if my coarse actually needs moisture or protein even tho it got sm protein.
@@nellylindner2715 You're not alone! I'm trying to learn, but I'm so confused. I still don't really know what my hair needs either. I just try to incorporate both some protein & moisture. I also took Courtney advise on using oil the night before wash day. It sort of a good balance of both.
I’m finding that after a year of curly hair transformation, my hair needs very little protein. It’s getting curlier and healthier still. Last year I had a ton of hair Fall due to stress, and everything growing back is 3a/3b curls course texture.
Im using Pattern shampoo/conditioner and leave in products with some of the curl smith blue line leave in and gel.
Your hair may just not be needing it right now. Maybe try going longer in between using it. What are you looking for it to do?
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney I thought it was going to make my curls & waves more curlier & wavier & the top layer of my hair is straight, so I thought it would give it a bit of a wave.
Thank you for this video, education and comparison. I've had all 3 as well.
I have black Chinese hair that is foiled so that I can have bright pinks and reds in it. I've decided to grow my hair out for the next couple of years to see what my natural virgin curls look like. I'm going to invest in wigs I think for when I want bright hair.
My favourite for use is K18. However, it is very expensive, albeit has a lot of uses. Great for time poor people or those that can not be bothered with the longer multiple steps of the Curlsmith Bond Salve or Olaplex no. 3.
I prefer the Bond Salve instead of Olaplex as well due to better value for money. One must remember to use a non-protein or clarifying shampoo prior to application; I prefer doing it this way so that there is no product between my hair and the treatment.
Overall, all of them do the job for me. If anything, I need to make sure I get a good hydrating treatment in more often at this point rather than a bond repairer; my hair seems to appreciate this more lately.
That's a good plan. And I do love that it is a better value as well.
I had the same experience with Olaplex #3, my hair is also wavy, and low porosity. 🤷🏻♀️ I think I'd actually argue that overall K18 ends up being the best value, after I emulsify it I only end up needing 2-3 pumps for my medium length hair/high density hair. I use it every week or every other week so the bottle lasts me forever. With Olaplex I only got about 3 uses, more with the Bond Curl but I absolutely cannot stand the smell. I'm going to try Living Proofs bond product, it applies like K18 but you can use conditioner I think. My hair is healthy but I have mermaid goals!
I forgot the Inkey List! Their PCA Bond spray is awesome too. By far the easiest to apply, my hair loves it.
Thanku so much Courtney, as always your videos are so so helpful, and oh my goodness your long luscious mermaid locks are just fab🧜♀️x
😭😭😭 Awe thank you!!! This made my day!🧜♀️🧜♀️
One more thing, you are supposed to use Olaplex 0 and 3 together for best results. $60 for the two bottles and it only gives me three treatments. The small K18 will get you the 6 treatments that are required before you go to maintenance. Unless your hair is really long, you shouldn't use more than four pumps. A large bottle is 50 pumps so the price comparison is pretty much very close.
that opening line 😂 you are so freakin' cute
🤣🤣Thank you!
I used the curlsmith rehab salve today!
Ohh how did it go for you???
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney it was a great wash day! I also deep conditioned and managed to diffuse for at least 10 minutes.
Thank you, this was so helpful!
Thank you! Glad it helped!
Very helpful! Thanks Courtney! :)
Glad it was helpful!
I received the bond repair from Curlsmith & was going to clarify after & deep condition. Is this a preferred method?
Have you tried Olaplex 0 prior to applying 3? I’m new to Olaplex and it seems they go together. And then the 8 is recommended as the conditioner.
I’m letting my grey/white grow out after 25+years of color, so most of my hair is virgin. It’s wavy and frizzy and very low density…..if it were not for frizz I’d have no volume 😂
Just used the 3 products for the first time and love them. My hair is soft and wavy. It tamed the “cottony” look of the frizz but did not cause me to lose volume. I sure hope this continues!!
Curlsmith’s Bond product worked for me…..until it didn’t. So I suppose time will tell.
Thank you for all the info you share!!
0 is newer. I'm pretty sure only 0-3 and 9 from olaplex are cg friendly!
@@kendrastevenson5423 yes there is silicone (I think that's what it is) in 8, but I'm more a 'if it enhances my curl and enables me to only wash once a week then I'll use it' rather than strictly CG method. I even use a curling iron on pieces of my hair from time to time 😂
Can extreme cold damage hair? I am really intrigued by the new product that looks like a flatiron, but has coils you keep in the freezer. Supposedly it helps to use it with leave ins, or deep conditioners. Or you can touch up your hair after it dries. I am blanking on the name…inverse?
Hmm I have virgin hair and I don't know, maybe I don't really need any of these. My hair is always frizzy when I go outside and I was wondering if my hair is that sensitive to humidity because of some kind of damage.
I have virgin hair that always goes frizzy in humidity. I started using Olaplex and honestly I’m stunned by how much it’s changed my hair for the better. My hair looks and feels amazing now, I’m never going back! The ends stay nice and healthy, like they are after a cut. I still can’t believe I’ve found a product that actually lives up to the hype.
@@emm8357 Thanks for writing this, did you notice less frizz in humidity?
I really like a product called super skinny serum. It has helped with frizz with my colored hair and my daughter's virgin hair.
Humidity and frizz is tough! Some people are sensitive to glycerin (not saying it's a bad ingredient but it can increase frizz depending on dew points). How far are you into your journey? Have you clarified/deep conditioned recently?
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney Dumping glycerine and even all other humectants (except in scalp products) helped, but not completely. Dew point varies around the day so I'm pretty much always treating my hair like the dew points are "bad". I clarify regularly. I wouldn't say I'm on a "hair journey".
My question is how to you clump your curls or squish to condish if you are using K18?
The drying alcohols in the k18 have put me off trying it (as has the price 🤣)
Totally get that!
I needed this today. I hate Olaplex. I just ordered K18. I got a sample a while ago and didn't like it, but I didn't know you were supposed to clarify first and use for 6 consectutive washes. Since I always wear my hair curly during the warmer months so I did just order the Curlsmith too. Seems like every product out there is coming out the bond building products. I bought Olaplex again, waste of $. I use 0 and 3 together. I need new curly hair products. I have highlighted hair. And I just ordered the Olaplex bond smoother and serum. I swear I am a glutten for punishment. And I absolutely hate the Olaplex shampoos.
Great information!
Thank you!
Great video with very helpful explanations!
Have heard that Olaplex 0 should be used prior to applying Olaplex 3 and that they both need to be used for the best results from Olaplex 3. What are your thoughts on this?
Am also wondering how many pumps of k18 you use after shampooing your hair?
Olaplex 0 is relatively new, but it was made to boost 3.
I think 0-3 and 9 are the only cg friendly products in the range
I tried the Curlsmith for the first time this past weekend. I had WAY over moisturized my hair with aloe shampoo and conditioners. My waves were wonky and frizzy. I had just had a hair cut, so I wasn't sure if that was the problem. I used the Bond Repair, and it did help, but not as much as I wanted it to. I am 5 months Postpartum, so still dealing with Postpartum hair so that's always a challenge. How often do you use the Curlsmith ??? I want to use it again this weekend, but don't know if that's too much...
Awe yeah that's a lot going on for your hair. Getting a haircut can certainly mess with your waves. Sometimes, I like to come back to products to see if they work later on. Postpartum hair loss is sooo tough! Bleh! And I don't have a limit on how much I use Curlsmith. They have quite a few different lines, so if the ones was to moisturizing you can always try another line. Their strength line has a nice balance of protein. And the scalp recipe/detox is great for your scalp.
I am wondering how you think the bond curl salve compares to a protein treatment??? Would you incorporate both?
It does have proteins in it. I would consider it as a protein treatment as well. I wouldn't do another protein treatment at the same time.
Courtney, Do you shampoo before applying the CurlSmith Bond Curl Rehab Salve? How long do you leave it in your hair before rinsing? How frequently do you use it? Thank you!!
This would go on before shampooing, as a pretreatment. How often would depend on your hair type, or if you color/bleach your hair. On the bottle it will say how often based on type. I would do it about once a month.
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney, okay, thank you soo much! I do color my hair in a similar shade/level to my natural color so I’m guessing it could help to do it a little more often than once a month. It says every 2-3 washes for high porosity hair and every 3-4 washes for medium porosity hair and every 4-5 washes for low porosity. I haven’t been able to figure out what porosity my hair is. I’ve been wondering recently if my having fine hair has been misleading me to think it’s higher porosity than it is. I tend to have an oily scalp like you but I think decades of coloring it and round brushing and blow drying may have caused it to be on they higher end of porosity.
I’ve been using Olaplex 3 and noticed my curl pattern falling flat. My hair is virgin hair, too and I haven’t brushed or used heat on it for 6 weeks.
I would probably give it a break from it and see if that helps. If you curls still fall, you could try clarifying/deep conditioning. And/or may need a stronger hold gel.
Been doing that for the past three weeks. They’re not completely flat anymore, but certain sections which used to be 2C have become 2A or less. On the other hand, some sections have started to form a loose 3A pattern. I’m looking forward to trying out the K18 and Curlsmith bond builders!
What is your best scientific guess on what these products will do to permed hair?
I have virgin and but decided to give the Curlsmith Bond Repair Rehab Salve a try, and my hair did not like it. It became super tangly and felt TERRIBLE. It was weird! I was super bummed since I like most of the Curlsmith products.
Ahh bummer! Maybe your hair didn't need the treatment. Especially being virgin hair.
How long do you leave the bond rehab salve on for?
Depending on your hair you would go anywhere from 15-30 minutes. On the bottle, it says how long to do based on porosity. 😀
Hey. Your channel is amazing. I have finer but long curly hair. Any tips for volume and definition?
Have you tried brush styling for definition? For volume I recommend hair clipping, there's a bunch of videos on it on CZcams
@@yonboi6644 I haven’t been able to get a brush for styling or hair clips yet. Are there certain ones you recommend?
@@kendall8 The denman brush is a favorite of many (it's also the one I use). There are others but it depends on what brush styling technique you're using. I also forgot to mention that you can trying finger rolling or finger coiling for definition too.
@@yonboi6644 Thank you! I’m glad the brush works well for you. What hair type do you have? I have heard that brush styling doesn’t work well with hair types that need a lot of water to form clumps.
@@kendall8 that sound exactly like my hair! My hair hates brush styling and I've tried so many techniques but my roots ends up flat. A good foam adds a ton of volume and definition! I also diffuse if u want the most volume
Not me in my early natural hair journey washing my hair with baking soda water and conditioning with diluted ACV😅😒
😂😂 I totally get that! Sooo many recommend it. But, at least you diluted the ACV! Using it straight up, is where the issue would be.
“Please don’t unsubscribe”
😆😆😆
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney 😆😆 that made me crack up … ❤️ one of the million reasons why I love you and your channel!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney Courtney!!! I saw in one of your videos you no longer recommended the suave shampoo because they changed the formula and the nuetragena one you recommended is discontinued… is there another clarifying shampoo you would recommend?
Sounds like baby girl was not happy!
I’m so sorry about that! She is having a tough week. She was hanging out with dad and brother. And she is teething!
@@SwavyCurlyCourtney Oh goodness... that wasn't a complaint! I'm a pediatrician, so I tend to notice babies who aren't happy and feel the need to say "oh -- poor baby!" every time.
Hey, sorry for reaching out like this, but I’am really desperate for help with my curls and figured that maybe someone out of your community could help.
When I started the cgm my waves came out so beautifully, almost curly. But after 2 month my hair became more and more limp agin. People always say use protein if curls are losing its shape, but I tried so many protein heavy products and nothing really worked for me. I also tired deep cleaning my hair with a sulfate shampoo, In case I have build up, but it also didn’t change anything. Choped of half the Length of my hair, because I thought they might be too heavy to curl properly, but didn’t do anything.
Pls if anyone has any ideas, don’t hesitate to leave a comment 🥲
It’s possible that in the summer with more moisture in the air is causing your hair to be more limp. You may simply need a stronger hold gel. I do have a video talking about how I changed up my routine for the summer if that is helpful.
