Products Containing Glycerin

Curlsmith Bond Curl Rehab Salve is an intense pre-shampoo treatment, rich in proteins that targets hair bonds to strengthen and repair from the inside out.

Our hair is made of a keratin structure, which is reinforced by so-called hair bonds. There are 3 types of bonds that make up the hair structure: 

- Disulfide bonds, which are damaged by bleach and chemical treatments;

- Salt bonds, which are damaged by sudden pH imbalance;

- Hydrogen bonds, which are damaged by excess of moisture and heat.

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.

CW says... See Curlsmith's website for guidance on how often to use your Bond Curl Rehab Salve for optimum results.

Directions

Apply generously on damp hair until it is fully saturated. Leave on for a minimum of 15 minutes, (or up to 30 if you have mid-high porosity hair due to colouring, heat styling or damage). Rinse off thoroughly and follow with your favorite Curlsmith cleanser, conditioner and stylers.

Curlsmith Feather-Light Protein Cream is a protein-enriched styling cream that provides medium hold and definition for any curl type. The Protein Cream is the perfect one-and-done styler. It combines the hold technology of gels with the moisture properties of creams, making any curl type bouncy and elastic.

CW says... Looking for a product like this without protein? Try Curlsmith's Hold Me Softly Style Balm instead.

Directions

Apply to wet hair after your shower. Rake through to ensure you are evenly coating all strands, then use the ‘praying hands’ method to smooth all locks down, seal the moisture in and tame the cuticles. Finally, flip the head over and scrunch upwards to encourage curl formation. Air dry or diffuse. The Protein Cream is great on its own, but if you’re looking for a more personalized routine, you can also cocktail it with other products: if your hair is extra dry, use your favorite Curlsmith leave-in conditioner before; if you want extra hold, finish the look with your favorite Curlsmith styling gel.
