Say "hi!" to beautiful, shiny hair and lasting curl definition with this moisturizing styling gel from TréLuxe.

CW says... If you're looking for a gel to get you through a dry Canadian winter, the Hi! Definition Curl Enhancer Styling Gel can help your curls maintain valuable moisture. 

Directions

After cleansing and conditioning*

• separate soaking wet hair into 5 parts (4 quadrants of the head and the crown of the head),
• while hair is still soaking wet, distribute product through each section of hair**, starting with the ends of the hair and working to the roots of the hair,
• style as desired,
• allow hair to air dry,
• (optional) for more volume, scrunch out hair while it is still wet.

*Hi! Definition™ Curl Enhancer can also be used on dry or damp hair to smooth hair edges.

** Most people find that for full head use, a dime to nickel sized amount per section is sufficient- less for hair under 6 inches long; more for hair over 12 inches long. Adjust amount applied as needed.

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.
