CURLSMITH Bond Curl Rehab Salve — Protein-Rich Pre-Shampoo Repair, 8 oz, Bond-Building for All Curl Types

This intensive pre-wash salve works from the inside out to target the three structural bonds in hair—disulfide, hydrogen and salt bonds—helping weakened curls recover resilience and shine. Formulated for all curl types, the creamy, concentrated formula is vegan, cruelty-free, color-safe and free from sulfates, silicones and drying alcohols. Use it as part of a regular repair routine tailored to your hair’s porosity for best results.

How does this treatment help damaged curls?

The salve replenishes amino acids and proteins designed to support bond repair, improving elasticity and reducing breakage over time. It’s applied before shampooing to give concentrated actives time to penetrate the hair shaft and rebuild internal structure.

• Targets disulfide, hydrogen and salt bonds to reinforce hair internally
• Delivers protein-rich ingredients that help reduce damage and visible fraying
• Pre-wash application allows deep conditioning without weighing curls down

How often should I use Bond Curl Rehab Salve for my porosity?

Frequency depends on your hair’s porosity and current damage level. Lower-porosity hair needs less frequent treatments, while high-porosity hair benefits from more regular application to maintain strength and manageability.

• Low porosity: every 4–5 wash days for 15 minutes
• Medium porosity: every 3–4 wash days for 20 minutes
• High porosity: every 2–3 wash days for 30 minutes

Will this product work with color-treated curls?

Yes—this formula is color-safe and designed to support dyed curls without stripping color. Its gentle, sulfate- and silicone-free base helps protect previously colored hair while reinforcing internal bonds to reduce breakage and dulling.

• Safe for color-treated hair; helps maintain vibrancy
• Free from sulfates and drying alcohols that can remove color
• Non-silicone formulation preserves natural curl texture

What tangible results can I expect after using the salve?

In clinical and consumer testing, users reported reduced damage and improved appearance of split ends, plus softer, shinier curls. Regular use supports stronger strands and more resilient curl definition over time.

• Clinically shown to reduce damage** and visibly restore hair
