Ahhh see! These were the extreme results I was hoping for!! Hehe That bond curl side looks amazing!! Thanks for the review! ❤️
Yes! I just came from your video.
I have a question I also have curly hair and I use the Maui moisture shampoo and conditioner I noticed that it has DMDM in it is it good for our hair if not what do you recommend
Yes! I was so surprised there was that big of a difference!!! Thanks, love! 😘
The best bond babe we could've asked for!
@@Frizzandfrillzz is the Maui shampoo good for our hair it has DMDM or should we stay away from anything that has that inside
Great video! My only hesitation is that Olaplex is NOT a conditioner, so often your hair will not look the greatest after using it. I actually like to follow it up with a real conditioning mask. The Curlsmith may just have more conditioners and oils in it to make it 'look' like it is fixing the hair when in reality, it is just fixing the surface on the hair. Not sure, but something to think about.
Yes!! Thank you... My thoughts too...
Thanks for the review. Interesting product...please keep us updated as you use it more/longer!
Curlsmith saved my curls! I had some almost straight pieces of hair, that was due to heat damage & color damage. && they curled them back up! It’s so worth the money!!!
Great review, Chloe! Beautiful results! I want to try their protein styling cream.
This is the third review I’ve seen on this today. I would say I didn’t see a massive difference on either side, (gorgeous as always) but I think given the quantity you get with Curlsmith for essentially the same price, plus the natural ingredients, I’m definitely going to give the Curlsmith a go 😀
Yes! I totally agree you get way more for your money! Hope you love it!!!
as soon as i finish my olaplex i’m grabbing this!!! love your review plus your reviews are so fun!!! love your personality
Thanks for the video. Keep us posted on how regular usage goes. I just purchased Olaplex as I had run out but I will try this next
Love the curl smith side by far. Can't wait to see your updates in future about this product. I'm so curious to see if it will work for my hair as well.
Thank you! I’m still so surprised by the difference!
Your hair is beautiful on both sides! I need to be consistent with a bonding treatment. Thanks for the info!
I've just ordered this curlsmith product, can't wait to use it seeing your results 🙌
This was good to watch. I see a huge difference in the two sides of your hair too--but I see that in all your videos. The curlsmith side looks noticeably more defined and more voluminous in all of your videos to me. I don't have any bias because I haven't used either.
Thanks for your review! Olaplex 3 has been so helpful for my hair but it's so expensive, so I'm excited to try Curlsmith's bond curl and see if I get similar results (and save some money!).
Yes! Same here! Always looking for something more affordable, but will also work just as well...if not better! 🙌
Thank you so much for reviewing this! I've wanted to try olaplex but I can't get it in person where I live and I didn't want to order it (I don't know why). But Curl Smith is available at Ulta, which i have near me. Im so excited to try this! I just colored my hair for the first time since I went curly
Oh amazing!!! Hope it works well for you!
Omg just in time! I ran out of olaplex and needed more but now I’ll try Curlsmith! 😃 and the size for the price is wayyyy better!! Thank you Chloe!
thank you so much… I just ran out of my Ola Plex 3… I think I'll just be sticking with the Curl Smith I just ordered the protein line a couple days ago can't wait to get it!!
Amazing! Hope you love the new line! 🙌
You're like the upteeth review I've watch on these products 😂 I'm a bit of a science nerd when it comes to ingredients so I googled some stuff. It turns out that the olaplex and bond curl work on different bonds in the hair. Our hair has three bond types: disulfide, hydrogen and salt/ionic. Olaplex patented ingredient only works on reforming broken disulfide bonds while a combination of two ingredients (hydroxypropylammonium gluconate + hydroxypropyl gluconamide) in the bond curl crosslinks the broken hydrogen and ionic bonds which could be why everyone's hair is curlier as these bonds can affect the tightness of the curl.
I learned something new today, thanks 😊
I have bleached damaged hair which one will work for me?
Can't wait for my curlsmith products to arrive 🙌
I needed the review !!! I have the product and have used it twice, but .... I think I have been using it wrong, because I have applied it to soaking wet hair. Although, my hair is not damaged, I used it only because I was going to straighten my hair (after 6 months) and I did not want to mistreat my curls. so I'll be using it once or twice a month to keep my hair healthy. love the result. (I also have foam)
I'm definitely trying this! I'm still working on my curly journey and I have loved all of the curl smith line so far!
Yay! Their products are incredible!
@@Frizzandfrillzz Yes they are! I'm still trying to figure out how ro get more volume though
Love it! Can you review the other products of the strenght kit please🙏🏼
Yes! I want to do that next!
I’m all for tighter curls and that is an obvious difference. Love it ! I think Curlsmith thinks more about the curl where as Olaplex isn’t considering the curl... hmmm. Thanks for being a Tester!
Love this video! I was right on Instagram 🤣 your curls look sooooo freaking good 😍😍😍
Haha yay!!! And thank you!!! 💕
For someone whom is protein sensitive they are stuck with Olaplex though lol. Which is a huge difference between these too. (That's why max amount of time for Curlsmith is an hour, because of the protein). Throughout all these video comparisons I haven't seen a big difference. So when my hair needs protein once in awhile this may be a new go to.
As far as your comparison I feel like it would have been more comparable had you gone in on the Olaplex side with a protein/moisture DC. It also looked like you used way more Curlsmith than the Olaplex.
Lol it's been hilarious watching influencers trying to sell the crap out of this over the Olaplex and everyone's like - look at the shine and volume on the Curlsmith side! - But it's a deep conditioning and protein treatment and you just Olaplexed without following the clear directions to deep condition afterwards?
@@BoundlessEyes seriously though!
Happy New Year! Your hair looks amazing as always. What did you use to style?
Happy New Year, Lisa! Thank you! I used the Curlsmith oil in cream and soufflé to style! I’ll add them to the description for you!😘
Totally ordered this from Ulta this morning!
Yup me too! 👍🏾
I always thought salve was pronounced “sav.” I love the Curlsmith products, I’m eager to try the new protein line!
It is (like sad with a v).
Can you do updated review of the curlsmith bond curl product. You have used olaplex for over a year, so hopefully u can give more info on how both of them work comparatively in the long run. Thanks in advance ☺
I have a question that I’ve been curious about the maui moisture shampoo and conditioner has DMD In it is that good for your hair
This is not a true/fair comparison. While I love both lines, you’re comparing apples to oranges. Olaplex °3 contains NO protein. The only Olaplex products that contain protein are °4 & °6 and it is only a trace amount that is used as an emulsifying agent. Olaplex °3 strictly repairs disulfide bonds, it is not a moisturizing treatment nor a protein treatment. You should always follow up with a protein treatment and/or hydrating treatment (depending on your hair needs) after °3. As for the size of the bottles, Olaplex is EXTREMELY concentrated therefore not much product is needed per application. While I appreciate your effort with the video, I have to speak up when misinformation is being spread. As a side note, protein overload is a myth. Check out trichologist, Dr. Susan Walker’s webinar titled The Protein Misconception. Very informative webinar.
No you can overdo protien.
I just wrote same thing about comparing them, but not putting a protein with the DC on Olaplex side.
@@christinaobert5664 yet people will take an influencer’s word like it’s set in stone. 🤷♀️
@@rejesus7106 I respectfully disagree. Watch the webinar.
Are bonding treatments only for hair damaged by color/ heat/sun etc? Or do you recommend Bond curl for all curly girls every so often?
Hello, can you use the curlsmith curl bond salve along with the curlsmith scalp recipe?
You and two other curly hair influencers showed up in my feed featuring these 2 products. All 3 of you chose the same side for the comparison and had extremely similar results. I definitely want to try it now!
Good! That’s nice to know we all had similar results!
Now you should switch the tested sides of your head! Then an all over test!
Was a styling brush used on the curl smith side or finger coiled? Some of the curls look manipulated versus the other. Looks more like a natural curl pattern on olaplex side.
Ikr.. And olaplex 3 requires a conditioning treatment afterwards. This feels very biased
She always finger coils her hair!
Have you used the other two products in this line?
Great review I use alplex for my hair dying and it works great. It's cheaper than olaplex and I get it on Amazon
Update I tried both the bond salve and olaplex on separate occasions. I am a fan of both but I like the value of the curlsmith bottle. I have slightly damaged blonde hair.
So confused! How often do you do a bond treatment and deep conditioner?
Great video! Thanks for the info! Just a little confused...I’ve been reading up on Olaplex and I read that it is not a protein treatment. You said in the vid that it is.
Happy to help and glad you enjoyed! So, while it is not a protein treatment it does have a very light amount of protein in it...just not protein based. Hope that makes sense!
@@Frizzandfrillzz yes!!! Thank you! I was concerned! Learning to keep an eye on how much protein my hair needs is exhausting lol
Olaplex °3 does not contain any protein
@@staceycordell3739 it contains aloe...aloe has proteins in it 💕
@@Frizzandfrillzz according to Olaplex, only °4 and °6 contain trace amounts of protein which is included as an emulsifying agent.
Day 7 hair?! ... and it looks bomb lol. Sometimes my day 2 hair doesn't even look that good, damn.
Do you find your hair is aloe sensitive?? Could be why there is a bit of extra frizz on the olaplex side. I'm aloe sensitive. I have not tried olaplex #3, too scared to waste my money, so I'm super excited for the new curlsmith bond salve.
I don’t actually! My hair is normally a big fan of aloe! But yes! Hope you love the new bond curl!! 💕
Hmmm I wonder if it can be used with Olaplex 0, instead of Olaplex 3?🤔🤔
Either way, I’m ordering it right now!
Hmmm!!! I’m guessing not since it’s designed to amplify Olaplex 3 specifically...but hope you love it, lady! 💕
I’m just wondering what the styling process was… because to me it looks like maybe the styling could have been different on both sides
I'm there. Every time I touch my head, I hear hair breaking! I've been sick for ages, and my hair is suffering!
Lovely curls but this seemed quite biased hmm. Also Olaplex is not meant to condition your hair at all, it does say specifically on the bottle that it is not a conditioning treatment. However CS contains conditioning ingredients, hence the more moisturised feel and less frizz.
Got me wishing I hadn’t repurchased my olaplex.
Nice!! Though I think it's only fair to say that sticking strictly to Olaplex products on the side for Olaplex would render a more fair assessment here. This is the third review of the competing of these two products and the first person didn't use strictly Curlsmith products with the two, in other words she used a different brand completely from either of the test products to shampoo, condition and style. Her results were similar to yours still but then her hair was almost exactly like yours with bleaching and the same curl pattern/style, I think it's a given protein is going to bump the results in bleached hair in this case. The second gal colors but not bleaches, her curl pattern is different and she also stuck to Curlsmith products for wash, condition/ style. Her results were less obvious in the difference. But then she doesn't have the need to have more protein like you do. I agree, Olaplex is still the bomb, but for those needing protein more, Curlsmith may just have the advantage, given over time the product doesn't prove to protein stress the hair. I say using both every other time you bond treat may likely be the best of both worlds. I think since Olaplex does have shampoo conditioner, leave in... the only way to really do the competing is to use every product of the lines on the same sides to give accurate results. I'm enjoying these reviews though... interesting seeing results on different people with different methods. Thanks for sharing! Smiles and blessings...
Thank you for the feedback, Lisa! I wish I could do a full styling routine to compare on the Olaplex end too, but sadly they don’t offer many stylers. Just a bonding cream and oil...which I love both! But wouldn’t be able to get the hold or hydration needed for my curls for a full style. Thanks again! 💕
Curl smiths side is more tighter than the oloplex
The difference could be down to your poor application of the bond products and styling products??? Olaplex rules!
My poor application? Really? Lol
@@Frizzandfrillzz Don't take it negatively! But think about reviewing yr application. I love yr vids..😊
@@donnabent8317 then can you explain what you mean by “poor application”? Do you mean by not using it on clean hair?
@@Frizzandfrillzz Sure! So try
Way smaller sections and brush the product into each section from root to tip ( Olaplex on yr roots gives good volume) this ensurs every hair is coated equally and should eliminate maximum frizz and therefore defin yr curls. ❤
Im actually wondering if the difference is because a styling brush may have been used on the curl smith side.
Your hair is thick, so I feel you should have raked more of the products throughly into your hair.
Okay. I just watched Bianca's video and now urs. I'm sorry ladies, it's the olaplex for me 🤷♀️
Please don't be scared by words you can't pronounce. A chemical name is much more specific than pumpkin seed extract. Let's not be scared of science. Doesn't matter what the product is, there is a corresponding scientific name.
*Sigh* this review is disappointing for several reasons. 1. Olaplex 3 has a patented ingredient that actually repairs the physical bond in hair. It is not a conditioning or protein treatment, though it does have some conditioning ingredients in it. 2. The Curlsmith product is not an actual bond repair. Its at its heart just a conditioning protein treatment. The ingredients in the curlsmith product CANNOT repair actual bonds that have been damaged by bleaching, coloring, or styling. Period. There is no SCIENCE behind this claim. Feel free to use it as a deep conditioner and protein treatment, but its not going to repair bonds like Olaplex does.
This is actually very false. Neither of them are conditioning treatments...no body should be using these to condition or deep condition. And there is actually science from Curlsmith to back up the fact that this is a bond repair treatment. Thanks for your concern though.
it's pronounced sav.....the "l" is silent
no it‘s not
