— Yasmine A. (5/5)

Love! The bond curl rehab salve.

"I can’t believe how much this has helped my hair! I have super dry, frizzy and thin hair and this has given my hair new life! I use this in the tub when I’m relaxing (I leave this on for an hour) and it has brought my hair back to life. Now it’s bouncy and soft without the dull lifelessness."

— Barbara H. (5/5)

Just buy it

"I’ve used this for years & really can’t be without it. Magic for your hair, I can’t recommend enough :u1F90C|type_2:"

— Roisin (5/5)

100/10!! literally saved my curls

"If you were debating whether or not to try this bonding treatment, please just do it!! For starters, buy this at Tjmaxx or Marshall's for $14. I have type 3b-3c hair, and grew up with super long hair. However, I've also had three big chops in my lifetime due to heat damage and color damage. This was my last resort, and I used the salve every week since my hair was super damaged. For two months straight, I applied the salve. In the beginning of my hair transition process, only the back of my head curled. Now, 4 months later my entire hair curls and is even easier to detangle and style! I am so forever grateful that I no longer need to consider a big chop thanks to this product!! This is the first time I've ever been able to wear my hair down, and felt confident doing it :)"

— Mariah H. (5/5)

Game changing!

"This is a definite repurchase. I use this once every 1-2 weeks and after use my curls are visibly better - the clumps form thicker, frizz is reduced, and curls last longer. I have been using this for 3 months now and am still nowhere near finished so excellent value for money."

— Amy (5/5)

Q&A

Can i use the bond curl rehab salve with the curl reset detox shampoo? I'm thinking using the rehab salve on my unwashed damp hair, then after 30 mins(high porosity on my crown) wash with the detox shampoo followed by the double cream deep quenched.
Hi Curlyhei, Thanks so much for your question—your routine sounds very thoughtful, especially considering your hair’s porosity! Yes, you can absolutely use the Bond Curl Rehab Salve with the Curl Reset Detox Shampoo. Applying the salve to damp, unwashed hair and leaving it on for about 30 minutes is a great approach. Following up with the detox shampoo will help cleanse the scalp and remove buildup, and finishing with the Double Cream Deep Quencher will restore moisture beautifully. It sounds like a well-balanced routine for strengthening and hydrating your curls. If you notice your crown area needs a bit more love, you can always leave the salve on slightly longer there. Let us know how it works for you—we’d love to hear your results! Thanks, Curlsmith
I am new to pre-poo. Is this best for root to tip, or can you apply midlength to tip? i ask because i have another roots/scalp treatment for my hair that i still have.
Hi Amber, Thanks for reaching out to us. The Bond Curl Rehab Salve is flexible in how it can be used. While it can be applied from root to tip, it’s absolutely fine to apply it just from mid-lengths to ends, especially if you’re already using a separate scalp or root treatment. This way, you still get the strengthening and repair benefits where your hair needs it most without overlapping treatments on the scalp. Please let us know if you have any other questions — we’re happy to help! Thanks, Curlsmith
Is this safe to leave in overnight as a deep conditioning mask before washing it out in the morning? If not, do you have a product that you would recommend as a mask that is safe to leave in overnight? I have 3c-4a coils and curls (I am biracial/Black, in case that makes a difference on how safe it’d be to leave in overnight), and I really like letting my hair soak up a deep conditioner for as long as possible. :) Thank you advance for your help here ❤️
Hi Sam, Thanks so much for reaching out! The Bond Curl Rehab Salve isn’t recommended to be left on overnight — it’s best to rinse it out after the instructed time to avoid potential protein overload or dryness. If you’re looking for a product that’s safe to leave in overnight, our Double Cream Deep Quencher is a great option. It’s designed for dry or coarse curls like yours and can be used as an overnight treatment for extra hydration. I hope this helps! Thanks, Curlsmith
Can I use the rehab salve on my bleached low porosity hair?
Hi Mellissa! This product can be used on all hair types, even on bleached hair :)
Can I use a clarifying shampoo after applying this product? I need to use your detox shampoo and the frizz conditioner since I haven't washed my hair in a week to get all the salt from the ocean last week plus cutting grass today. Thanks
Hi Denise, Thanks for reaching out! We recommend using Bond Curl Rehab Salve on clean, damp hair before shampoo and conditioner so it can penetrate best. You can definitely start with the Wash & Scrub Detox Shampoo to deeply cleanse, then apply the Bond Curl Rehab Salve, and follow with the Frizz Control Duo for moisture and softness. Let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks, Curlsmith
If I wanted to follow this treatment up with your clarifying shampoo, would that be too intense/harsh for my hair to use both products back-to-back? Would it be best to follow with a gentler shampoo or would the clarifying shampoo be alright to use right after this salve?
Hi Sam, Thanks for reaching out! You can absolutely follow the Bond Curl Rehab Salve with a shampoo. A clarifying shampoo is stronger, so we’d usually recommend using a gentler cleanser afterward to maintain balance. However, if you feel your hair has a lot of buildup or needs a deep cleanse, using the clarifying shampoo right after the salve is also fine—just be sure to follow up with a nourishing conditioner to restore moisture. Let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks, Curlsmith
Hello. Is not very clear to me how many times I need to use the product. Before every shampoo or like once a month?
Usage instructions change depending on your hair porosity: Low Porosity: use every 4-5 wash days for 15 minutes. Medium Porosity: use every 3-4 wash days for 20 minutes High Porosity: use every 2-3 wash days for 30 minutes.
Hi! Is there an alternative to this product that does not have almond oil? I have a nut allergy but I want to use this product
Hi Sophie, Thanks for reaching out to us. If you’re looking for an alternative to the Bond Curl Rehab Salve that doesn’t contain almond oil, you might want to try the Curlsmith Super Slip Pre-Wash Primer. It’s designed to be moisturizing and help with curl definition without using nut oils. If you have further questions. Please reach out to us at hello@curlsmith.com and our team will be able to help you. Thanks, Curlsmith
