Girl I feel you! If a product or a product combo makes me WORK HARD for my hair to look great, they can keep it.
that bond rehab salve is my HOLY GRAIL protein treatment. makes my curls pop & leaves my hair smelling amazing for 2 weeks.
Tfs!
I admire your confidence and willingness to use “new” products. I can’t imagine trying a product without having any idea as to whether it will give me what I need. I have learned a lot about products and what can be and can not be expected….albeit at your expense. Thank you for that!! I have incorporated your “working it into my strands” that you do so well. Just employing THAT technique of yours has made a huge difference in my results. So happy to see this video!! Keep-’em coming!!! 🥰
I’ve tried Olaplex, K18, and CurlSmith. The only one where I’ve seen consistent results that’s easy to apply to my hair is the Rehab Salve. I applied it like the instructions advised and I notice so much less frizz on my wash n gos and my hair looks so much more healthy. I just wish it had more lasting results because once I wash my hair on the off week, my wash n goes aren’t the same. I do want to try it after shampooing though
I love the bond salve. I bleach my hair fairly often and it’s the best one for getting my curl pattern back
Agreed💯 CurlSmith Bond Salve is a clutch product gem. It address lackluster curls, frizz, and the need for a 1…2 bit of strength.
BUT I maintain what is clutch for one is a giveaway or throwaway product for others.
Great content, Brittany Mia❤
It’s almost been a year of me using Olaplex and I’m telling you, if you want something that lasts you may be better off using a professional product like the K18 or Olaplex. These are clinically proven to work, but the downside is, it takes time and consistency. Which isn’t really a downside lol but for some people who want a quick fix it is. I believe Redken also has a bond builder line. Although the bond rehab salve is a bond builder, it functions more like a protein treatment in my eyes. The results are very obvious, but very temporary imo. Tfs!
Do you use it monthly?
@@ohemmaAna I used it every other wash day so twice a month. I'm going to try to give k18 another shot but I'm always so happy with the rehab salve
I totally agree! I shampoo my hair before the bond treatment.
I love the bond salve. I've been using it as a prepoo once a month for over a year. It really makes my curls pop.
Good to know it’s working for folks. Tfs!
I agree! Clean hair is best and makes the most sense.
💯
That miracle shield as an awesome leave in! Great detangle r - But thank you for saving me in purchasing the cream😊 I need hold! In my environment- humidity saver!
I am almost done combing out my micro locs! I have been binge watching your videos to see what. I think I would like/not like:) Continue to keep putting out content!! You’re sooooo needed!!
Oh wow! How long has that taken you? And why’d you decide to comb them out (If I may ask)? That’s great to hear, I appreciate it!
Im going on my 3rd week (I've had my locs in for 10.5 months) 🤕I just have two more locs to go and my hair appt is on Sat. I really miss doing my hair and although locs are low maintenance, I feel like I can still be a low maintenance loose natural. I am also cutting a couple of inches off too...a slightly tapered cut. SUPER excited@@BrittanyMia
I'm glad that line works for you. All Curlsmith products I've tried (bond salve, some sort of prepoo thing, and a deep conditioner) made my hair fall out in handfuls each wash day. I'm probably allergic to a main ingredient they use.
Hello Brittany, I have used the Rehab Salve for over six months. It really has helped maintain my coils. I have used it on dirty and clean hair and also prefer the latter. I have Olaplex products and will be trying soon.
I have used many Curlsmith products and like the products from all of their lines. I fortunately have not had the hair shedding/breakage problems experienced by some of your subscribers.
I feel you on the mask, I know the bond salve isn’t a conditioner but honestly I use it as one on clean hair because it gives me much more slip than the mask/leave in stuff
I have been using the salve and conditioner for a long time now. I use the salve before I shampoo as a pre poo and I let it sit for about 30mins. My strands are thicker and stronger as a result . I wash my hair 1-2 times a week and use the salve about 2x a month. The only other product of CS that I use is the balm from time to time to lightly hold my edges when I wear a poof or 2 French braids …thanks Brittany for your videos. I have been natural since 2019 and i am just in my groove with my hair. There was so much I just didn’t kno. Keep up the great work!!
i use the Bond Salve beforehand as a prepoo/ detangler. i honestly enjoy it a lot and feel like my hair is stronger when i do
I use the bond once a month, works well. I get great results with the Strength Foam and the Camille Rose Curl Maker
You're right: AG boost is the g.o a.t. and is so hard not to use constantly for the reasons you mentioned
Hands down 2 of my FAV products are the Salve and multi conditioner. Given with the conditioner, I love more as a leave in than DC.
Thanks for sharing ❣️
Great video! Thanks for sharing your experience. I tried the multitasking conditioner before and agreed, it doesn't have enough slip/not good enough to detangle my hair at the very least. But as for the other products, maybe using the bond treatment + all the protein line is not a good idea especially if your hair doesn't drink up protein. I'm not sure!!!
I'm new to the salve as i got it on sale for Black Friday, but i have to tell you, i love it. First time, i shampooed first, and enjoyed the results. I have high priority hair so supposed to just it 3-4 times for 30 min. My hair loves it
I followed with curlsnithh 😢conditioning wash
Honestly I didnt like any of the curlsmith deep conditioners. They didnt do me any favors. My fave line is the blue line for a quick wash n go. The protein cream works well if I have a leave in underneath but you definitely need something to top it off with. One of my all time fave gels is the hydro style flexi jelly and its a great combo.
Had the rehab salve a few years ago and finished it but I honestly cannot remember if it did anything for my hair and I find great results with K18 so I dont think I'll bother getting it again. I LOVE the foam for volume! Definitely no hold but the volume is awesome!
I like curlsmith but am not in love with the brand enough.
If you're interested in sustainable packaging with clean products like AG hair I recommend checking out ecoslay! They are super natural and actually give great results. The orange marmalade is a true all in one styler if your main thing is definition and moisture but not a crazy amount of hold. They are having 30% off now and are usually 40% of for black friday.
I love your videos! It's rare to see other people review products who have the same hair texture as myself lbs. Have you ever tried the Mane Choice line? They have pretty okay Gel products.
Thank you! I haven’t. I’ve had some people recommend them, but I have yet to try them out.
Hi! I love the Bond Salve and the Multi Tasking Conditioner. I also love the Scalp Detox Line. I am not a fan of their gels.
You should try the (double cream deep quencher) it worked amazingly for me! 💖
I always use Olaplex on shampooed hair because when I tried it on unwashed hair the results were meh. I actually emailed Olaplex customer service and they advised that the products are best used on clean, dry hair. So I shampoo and allow my hair to dry a bit then use the treatments and follow with another shampoo. Much better results that way.
I used olaplex on washed hair and curlsmith rehab salve and rinsed and washed hair. I prefer the curlsmith rehab salve. I was only using them for color treated hair. I will not be repurchasing as , I've grown out/cut most of the color.
I've never been tempted to try any other curlsmith products.
I haven't used the Bond Salve, but I have a small bottle of it that came with my last Olaplex purchase from either Sephora or Ulta. Like you, I shampoo twice weekly so I don't feel my hair is very dirty when I use the Olaplex. It might work better if I shampoo before using, but I don't so I don't know. I know a lot of people say the No. 3 is fine by itself without the No. 1, but I use it to dampen my hair before applying the No. 3 and I like the outcome. I've tried it using only the No. 3 and for me, the result isn't the same. Due to mobility issues, it's too inconvenient for me to shampoo, get out of the shower to apply, and get back in to rinse and shampoo again. Once I'm in the shower I'm in until I'm finished with hair and body.
I’m not a wash n go girl (still working thru it 😂) .. but I really enjoy your videos as well as your thoughts 🥰💙.. new subie 💙..btw I do use the Bond which I really like 💙
K18 is my fav
Hey ! I use bond rehab, cream and foam from this line. It’s just okay for me, not bad but not very good neither. I prefer use this cream on wet /almost dry hair for best result. 🤨
I love the curlsmith strength line but it is one of those lines your hair for me at least has to learn to adapt to. I mainly just use the shampoo, leave in, rehab salve, and heat protectant from the line I have not tried the foam yet but the gel does not agree with my hair at all
Hello Britanny, it would be interesting that you do like an update video for the actions you did take to limit breakage on your hair for like 7 month now (from your previous video:"wash and go’s are breaking off my hair | how I’m fixing it"). I just started to get rid off butter and oils and for that I did cut a lot of my hair that were pretty long but unhealthy and I want to do thing correctly by respecting what the specialists are saying but also if I can do more to prevent breakage before having to deal with it I will. I live in Paris/France and there are not specialists to my knowledge so if you could do an update video on what worked according to what you decided to implement 7 month ago, it would be great 😊
PS:I Know you did a lot of videos since that video, trying different products that I am watching now to get info. And sorry if my english is not that great 😅
i use the curb rehab salve after shampooing like i do with the olaplex. i never use things as a preshampoo treatment even if it says that on the bottle
👏🏾👏🏾
I used the light weight cream and it made my hair feel breakable and weird ….. and I have high porosity hair so when I bought it was hoping it would make my hair like stronger but never again… it felt horrible and I put tgin daily moisturizing butter cuz that’s how bad my hair felt after………. I hate this line and I’m never going to use again….did I do something wrong?? Please tell me.
I so appreciate your work. As much of product junkie as I can be and as much as I have fun using products, this line was never attractive to me. Initially back in the day, I don't think it was marketed toward the afro textured hair .
I love the bond salve as it is balanced and a nice protein treatment. The light styling is not for me so ive never tried.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the bond salve!
I’m starting not to like shampoo. I will only shampoo when I start to get build up on scalp and hair. If I don’t have build up on hair and have it on scalp I’ll just shampoo my roots. I will focus on moisture from conditioning every week. I will see how long it takes my hair to get build up. I’m thinking two or 3 weeks. I’ll use thick products on Sunday/wash/cowash day and light products throughout the week.
Ooooo keep me updated on how this works for you. I’m thinking of doing something similar, like using a balancing shampoo at my scalp, and a moisturizing shampoo on my mids to ends.
@@BrittanyMia ok I’ll keep you updated . That’s a good idea too
I have only tried the Curlsmith Miracle Shield and have been using it for over 6 months as a silicone-free heat protectant. It's good stuff. I had already decided not to try other Curlsmith products a long while ago.
What do you use for protein treatments ?
@@staciegreene2262 I am back to using ApHogee 2 step. I tried another brand, Botànika Beauty The Mender. As much as I wanted to like it, I realized that after every use I would see broke hairs the next day. I wanted to try Komaza Protein Strengthener but it's always out of stock. I don't like some of the ingredients in ApHogee but I used it for over a decade before so I am going to stick with it (again) for now.
Doing a treatment on dirty hair 🙃. That literally never made sense to me…I don’t care what the bottle says lol.
Hello!? Like, no sense. But hey, it still works for many ppl. Not me tho 😂.
That multitasking conditioner is 🚮
I had the same issue with it. I even tried it as a leave in instead. No slip. I really wanted this brand to work for me, but none of the Curlsmith conditioners work for my hair. So, I moved on.
I see so many good reviews, I’m glad I’m not the only one who was like WTF is this. But, as you said, we move on.
@@BrittanyMia when I first tried it, those were my exact words too 🤣
@@BrittanyMiaYou're not alone, lol.
Hi Question: Did you notice a difference in your hair when using olaplex on dirty hair vs clean hair? If so, what was the difference?
It worked both ways, but better on clean hair. They even came out saying that it works better on clean hair. For me, the difference was in the feeling of my hair. My hair felt softer and just healthier. I could tell the treatment was actually working on clean hair. It still felt nice after using it as a prepoo, but not as great as after rinsing some product out. However, for the sake of time and depending on what state your hair is in, it does work on dirty hair, just not as well as on clean hair imo.
It also depends on how much product is in the hair. Since I usually go a little heavy, I like to rinse the product out before using a treatment.
But I think it’s best to fit it in wherever it works best in your routine. Hope this helps.
@@BrittanyMia Thank you for the thorough and thoughtful response. I've tried Oxaplex on dirty hair and will try it on clean hair next. I'm still learning about my hair and had a lot of hair setbacks in the past, but I'm being more intentional with my hair care now.
Lastly, I enjoy how detailed and transparent you are when reviewing hair products -- plus, the quality of your videos are superb. Keep going! #newsupporter
@@ayannalynn8902 You're welcome. Let me know how oit works out on clean hair and if you see any difference. I'm currently having setbacks so I'm right there with you, but we're learning and growing!
Thank you for watching, and for your support! 🤎
I understand your perspective of not wanting to apply the product to “dirty” hair. But leaving that shit on that long can definitely be detrimental FAST !! Don’t make that a habit just because your hair is okay this time. Please FOLLOW the directions on the times to leave it in…based on your porosity to a T.
Great video as always , you were missed 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I come to this channel for all Curlsmith reviews, so I appreciate her work😊. But this review was contradicting, first she says that hair may look nice to us but it doesn’t feel right, but ends by saying the products aren’t the best , but likes how they made the hair feel. I’m confused lol
When I said “it may look nice, but it doesn’t feel right” I was describing the application of the feather light protein cream. Product application, not the end results. On Camera, it appeared that my curls were easily clumping, but the actual feeling of my hair felt off as I was applying that cream. This was simply to point out that, although it appeared to be doing something well, the actual feeling of my hair did not feel right.
By the end of the video, when my hair was all styled and dried, my hair felt as though it got the benefits of the strengthening aspect of the line. I don’t believe it’s contradicting to point out at all.
Change the order of application please. Spray, then foam then cream. It will make a difference. Love your vids and subscribed after the African Pride video. Please apply the products lightest to heaviest. You will get more hold of the foam goes on before a cream.
I used this and although the curls are beautiful my hair is hard and a sticky residue on my hair. I probably won’t purchase again
I like the blue mask from the scalp line better, but still isn't my fave. curlsmith products are a hit or miss for me lol
I only like their Miracle Shield. Its expensive IMO, but it works well. I use it every week in my routine. I've tried a few Curlsmith products, and I don't like them. 😬 I have other brands that work twice as good for me. Their products just sit on my hair strands. No ma'am.
If possible, try getting it from Marshall’s or T.J. Maxx. It’s always $14.99 at these stores. And I feel you on that. Tfs!
yeah I agree that multi tasking conditioner is trash
I don’t know why but, you kind of look like Beyoncé daughter.
