Reviews

Perfect daily oil for dry curly hair

"I bought the Bonding Oil mainly for my daughter, who is almost 9 years old and has very curly, extremely dry hair. Since my hair type is completely different, I honestly had forgotten products like this even existed — but now it has become part of our daily routine. I use a very small amount every morning while styling her hair for school, and it makes such a big difference. Her curls look soft, healthy, and shiny instead of dry and dull. It also helps keep her hair looking neat and beautiful throughout the school day without feeling greasy or heavy. A little goes a long way, and it has truly helped bring life back to her curls."

— Laura M. (5/5)

Amazing product!

"I use the Bonding Oil as the last step of my style routine. The moment I scrunch it in my hair my curls get tighter, my hair gets fuller and so shiny! This is the one product my hair cannot live without."

Q&A

I use this to break the cast when I wear my hair curly. I also like to straighten + curl iron my hair for a smoother look. Can this be used to seal the curls along with preventing it from frizzing/puffing out?
Hi Carmen, Thanks for your question. Yes! Curlsmith Bonding Oil works great for breaking cast and can also be used on styled curls or straightened hair. It helps smooth strands, reduce frizz, and add shine, so it’s perfect for sealing your curls or polished styles without weighing your hair down. Let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks, Curlsmith
Can you use everyday
Hi Lisa! Yes this can be used daily or when needed :)
I have protein damaged hair, is this bonding oil protein free?
Hi Dawn! There is no protein in this product :)
Can this product be used as a light protein oil to use on low porosity hair to make sure I can keep the strength and moisture balance
Hi there, Thanks for reaching out to us. Our Bonding Oil is primarily formulated to provide intense hydration and nourishment to the hair, promoting smoothness, shine, and overall hair health. We recommend incorporating a dedicated light protein treatment into your hair care routine to ensure optimal balance. You can use the Bonding Oil in conjunction with a protein treatment to provide both moisture and strength to your hair. Alternating between protein and moisture treatments can help maintain the health and integrity of your low porosity hair. If you have additional questions. Please reach out to us at hello@curlsmith.com and our team will be able to help you. Thanks, Curlsmith
What's the perfume made of? It's the only ingredient I wish wasn't in it. Can you make an unscented version?
Hi Debra, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. Our revolutionary Bonding Oil is made of 99% natural ingredients and contains PlantSilk, a unique next-generation blend of plant-derived esters specifically designed to outperform silicones while being lighter than raw 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
What‘s the big difference between the Shine Oil and the Bonding Oil, I can‘t decide :-) My hair is wavy, sometimes frizzy and some waves are a little bit dry…and if I use too much product it‘s overload and stringy. Thank you for answer
Our Shine Oil is based off a similar technology to our revolutionary Bonding Oil, but it packs an extra shiny punch without protein or fragrance.
What is the fragrance? Could you describe?
The Bonding Oil has a sweet apricot fragrance.
How strong is the scent in the bonding oil? I prefer scents that are not overpowering, but subtle.

I'm a male that keeps curly short hair with a fade at the side. Am I supposed to use this by itself to shape my curls? I tried and it does nothing (i have crazy bed-hair and its hard to shape). I put it on by itself and it did nothing (yes i put a lot of oil)
Hi! This is a finishing Oil, to help define your curls you may be best with a gel styling product
This is a bonding oil, would it be safe to use as an overnight oil the day before shampooing a couple of times per week without experincing protein overload? I don't plan on saturating the hair but to smooth through it, so I'd likely use more than I would if I were to be using it to scrunch out the crunch. My hair is fine, not colour treated & I rarely even use heat on it but it's a little prone to being weak.
