I immediately saw her in there when I read your comment..lol. with her side eye she be giving us..like gurl, how many times i gotta let ya..deep condition..lol
I know im randomly asking but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
I know she is here for the curls. But, I'm here seeing how gorgeous her skin is. Remembering how broken she felt when she said she felt like she looked like a monster. It took me a minute to realize this is her real skin tone. This is her natural glow. Seeing her glow up gorgeous skin gorgeous hair gorgeous smile. I'm glad she is still bring us the motivation we need to love our skin and hair.
Looking at the ingredients the two products do not really compare. Curlsmith seems like a protein treatment heavy in creatine (not keratine) and vegetal extracts, but does not contain anything that replace the actual bond builder in Olaplex, that is Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate (second ingredient after water in Olaplex 3). It probably works well, but not in the same way, Olaplex in fact is totally protein free, I would rather say they are complementary.
I wanted to say the same thing. It's more of a choose the product that fits your needs. Technically Ecoslays Matcha Boost Is also a protein booster product for example.
@@alee7322 not sure, I have Curlyfic by aphogee but it is a quick mask, this is supposed to be washed out, so I imagine the brand is confident that the strengthening resists the shampoo. But just by the ingredients yes, seems more like a protein treatment with some other nourishing stuff. Olaplex is instead supposed to build the bonds that keep the proteins together inside the hair. I do use Olaplex and usually, before, I wash and then condition with proteins, or use a protein leave-in together with Olaplex. Not sure if it works actually better, but it seems logical to provide some protein as well.
I think also because your hair is super healthy its hard to tell the difference. Maybe someone with more damage could notice it But your hair does look amazing!! I want it i want it!!
I'm doing a "only" curlsmith products challenge for 6 months. This will be a good addition to my routine. Might go a year.. maybe, if my coins are right. HappyNewYear to all the curlygurls!!.
The more I see these videos the more I want to try out curlsmith. They seem like they're the leading brand when it comes to conscientious, innovative products, and I love that they focus on the curly demographic and don't cut corners on their ingredients.
Yes!!! As a military woman I have to put my hair on a bun 5 days a week. I realized that my curls are not as define as the can be!!! I need this product to bring my curls back to life💐💐💐💐
I wish I had seen this months ago. My hair needs so much help-my curls have changed and they are not returning. I may need to do a big chop but I to try and repair it first. Thank you for doing this.
actually the silicone used in olaplex (ammodimethicone) is beneficial if you have color treated hair bc it seals your hair shaft to trap moisture in + keeps the color longer
@@alejandraibarracerda9249 same that's why I don't use them. We don't currently have a filtration system that can get the liquid plastic out of the water reliably.
The wording in what the product is, is very specific. As a licensed professional, I am olaplex certified and olaplex is a bond BUILDER. And the active ingredient is patented so no other product can BUILD bonds. It seems like the curl smith is a bind protector.. maybe something with protein. Not exactly sure. The curl smith one I’m sure is nice but it won’t be able to replace the olaplex.
I thought about that too however does that mean that olaplex is the only product that CAN be a bonding product or does that mean olaplex is the only company that can use that bonding agent?Hmmm I have alot of questions.
Why does everyone say "for heat damage, color damaged" when ppl with high porosity more so need it as well your hair doesnt have to be damaged to use these products
Probably because most people think that’s the only way you end up with high porosity hair. The majority of high profile natural hair YT profess to be low porosity or refuse to say 🙄
I agree with you, I think it’s because when someone looking for help with their hair it’s usually because it’s damaged and their trying to bring it back to life. So as a brand, if I’m creating a product that will help with that I would mention that it’s good for “damaged” hair. I personally don’t have much damage, if any. But, my hair has different porosity levels so it gets tricky sometimes. I’m excited to try these and see if they help my roots.
Such a great question. I have 4B/4C Kinky-Coily high porosity, fine hair naturally and though my hair isn't damaged I do find that products geared toward damaged hair or color treated hair works for me.
I can’t tell a difference! I use olaplex every once in a while because I have highlights and I want to be proactive. I especially use it right after I get my highlights. The price is always a little much for such a small bottles. So excited that there is another option yay!!!! Thanks for sharing Bianca
I use Olaplex once a week (pretty religiously). My stylist, who I trust DEEPLY, recommended that I always clarify my hair (from roots to ends) before applying it. According to her, product build-up prevents Olaplex (or any other bond-builder) from fully penetrating your hair. If it's just sitting on top of a film of product residue, you're wasting valuable time, energy, and money! NOT GOOD! And yes... I take essentially three showers every Olaplex day. lol ...Clarify -> Rinse #1 -> Olaplex (bake for 45 mins) -> Rinse #2 -> Regular shampoo & deep conditioner (bake for 30 mins) -> Rinse #3. It's a super high-maintenance, weekend-only wash routine, but I'm determined to put an end to breakage and make my 2c/3a, high porosity hair the healthiest, longest, and strongest it can possibly be! It's well worth the effort, IMO! :) Also... I *LOVE* Curlsmith, and am looking forward to trying this product on for size as soon as my bottle of Olaplex runs out (which shouldn't be too long, considering its size -- Bianca is giving it to us straight lol). Bianca -- You and your hair are gorgeous; thank you for all your inspirational content, including your honest reviews!!
I think the Olaplex side is much curlier at the roots, but both sides look great! I'd probably still buy the Curlsmith stuff just because of the price. Then again I'd buy neither because they are both hella expensive, lol. But if I bought one it'd be the cheaper one.
I have never used curlsmith brand because it's expensive for me to try. I have been trying to bring my curls healthier. I would love to be nominated for this trial!
Both sides look AMAZING! I think the Olaplex side did look fuller and longer. But, the CurlSmith side looked to be more shiny and juicier curls! I prefer the juicy and shiny😂 My hair definitely needs this! I would be interested in trying it.
I'm now subscribed. I feel like your the 1st to drop A LOT of the curly hair trends and products! Love your videos and your curls!! So glad I found this Channel.
I do not think these products are comparable because Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate the key ingredient in Olaplex N.3 is not in Curlsmith product. Also Olaplex is protein free where as Curlsmith uses proteins. I think that they help repair different parts of the hair and could be used in conjunction in a healthy hair regimen but not as a dupe or replacement.
@@_nini222 I’ve tried and love the curl smith: bind curl, prebiotic primer, probiotic shampoo, detox deep conditioning, hydro jelly and weightless leave in (pretty much the blue and purple labels) . I did not like the deep quench line (orange label) at all. For me the detox deep conditioning made my hair feel better.
The bond side looked like the curls were more defined. I don’t have damaged hair but I do want to try it for length retention and all the other reasons you listed ☺️
I got the entire Olaplex set for Christmas and GIRL- I don’t have curly hair but my hair is very damaged (I bleach it), and although the other products have silicones, they seem to work very well! And I’m surprised because my hair usually doesn’t like silicones. But even though the Olaplex products are EXTREMELY expensive, they’re amazing 🤩! Side note: I usually clarify with a sulfate shampoo anyway, so buildup won’t be a problem!
I NEED this!! I've straightened my hair since I was 6 (currently 21 :)), and I started my transition 4 months ago, so far so good, but I feel like I'm missing something, and this product might be it! Awesome vid btw
It’s like Curlsmith is listening to my prayers 🙌🏽🙌🏽. I literally didn’t buy Olaplex this Christmas bc of the size to price ratio. Thank you Curlsmith and Bianca!! Imma be a curly bond buddy no matter what 😅🥳❤️
But u don't need to use a lot of Olaplex. I have a ton of hair on my head and I'm not going through the product. They even say on the directions, less is more.
I feel like this is why it's so important to try hair products, especially ones that claim to "repair" your hair after a period of time (2 weeks - 1 month), because you're really not going to see a change after the first time use.
I have devacirls, ouidad etc ect, but lately I have been using Curlsmith products for a couple of months and I keep reaching for them. My curls really love the results they always look amazing when I use curlsmith.🙌🏾
Yes! I noticed that and I kept on looking on YT for reviews and there was none lol. I guess they had a soft launch on Ulta and today is the official launch
This is great ! I’m actually a olaplex girl ! Colored my hair a month ago (have a video on that) and right after I used olaplex on my curls girl !!!! The definition!!!!!!! Amazing !!! I must test this for my self !!!! Great great video Bianca 💕
Thank God for this video. I almost bought this and thought it was a deep conditioner🤣. So happy this year I started with healthier hair. 2019 I did the no heat challenge and the big chop challenge. So my hair has definitely grown so much. Thank you for being such an inspiration. I couldn’t have done this journey without you. From recommending how to start the curly hair journey, to where to find a curly hair cut, to keeping the momentum going 💕🙌🏻 you are loved and appreciated 😍🥰
I'm definitely trying this challenge. I started doing the deep conditioning every week challenge now I need my hair to grow stronger and retain the length. Im excited 😁 !!!
The olaplex side does look longer and with more volume but the girls do look a bit more stringy and I love how thick and shiny the curls look on the curlsmith bond side, and I would be interested in trying it out!
Have you tried curl warehouse? It’s Canadian (Calgary). I don’t think they have the bond product but they carry curlsmith and many other brands that we haven’t been able to get in Canada before.
Yesss, been timing my cleaning up so that I can sit and watch this😀😀 I think both sides look more or less the same, gorgeous, so obviously the Curlsmith would be the best value. I’m VERY interested in trying out the bond rehab salve😀
I’m definitely down to try this. I spent 4 years at a job that required me to have my curls up in a bun and unfortunately ruined my curls. I’ve started using curlsmith and have been looking into olaplex. But if I could stay in the same product family I would love that!!! I’m genuinely excited to try this product and hopefully be one of your bond models!!!!!
And I agree with your thoughts on the Curl Smith vs. Olaplex comparison! The Curl Smith side looks more defined. But Olaplex made your hair look more full and you had more volume. But like Penny said on your live that the more shrinkage you have the healthier your hair is? Because it springs up and is able to hold its shape.
I'm interested in trying the product, my hair doesn't have color damage but it's dry and I'm dealing with some breakage and I'm wondering if this will help
I think it would help because some curly hair youtubers have healthy hair but still do protein treatments and hair masks. It will just give you a little ump and curl definition and help with the breakage.
You have to be mindful of why your hair is dry and breaking. Is it because you need more moisture in your routine, is it because your hair is damaged, is it because your need a trim, etc. If you have dry hair, I would not recommend CurlSmith, which is a protein treatment. The protein could potentially dry your hair out even more.
I have been dying to try Curlsmith for a while!! I don't see much of a difference with Olaplex cause I can't use their other products cause of the silicone. My hair is dry, damaged, and tons of shedding in the shower. I did a chop in 2016 since then no dyes, bleach, or heat but still damage. I love your videos and hair. Even if you don't select me looking forward to seeing the chosen ones hair journey!!
There is so much conflicting info about protein... How often, when to, protein sensitivity, layering proteins... And so on... My hair stylist told me that I didn't need to do protein but once or twice a year... But who even knows... How does one know?
It all depends on your hair really! everyone is different. I have high porosity, bleached hair so I need to use protein on a weekly bases. If your stylist says you only need it every now and then it probably means your hair is very low porosity. hope that help!
I do agree with the comments saying that the olaplex side has more length and volume. But personally, for my wn hair goals, I'm in love with the definition from curl smith.
I’ve been really struggling with my curls for the last year and I’ve tried everything including Olaplex. I saw this new product came out and I would LOVE to try it! 😍
found your channel a few months ago and have been integrating your advice into my hair care. Been hair masking once a week and got the not your mother's shampoo and conditioner. I can honestly say that I see a major difference! Thank you so much!!! Have put the straightener far out of sight and out of reach. Now I'm working in hydrating my hair and discovering my true curl pattern. Would love to be a bond girl haha
Thanks for this video! After comparing the ingredient list of both products, I am going to purchase the Curlsmith products and rotate it into my monthly routine. Olaxplex doesn't have f protein and the Curlsmith does. I'm sold. Who doesn't want bigger juicer curls?!
Whatttt Friday videos! How I've missed this! & then this year's challenge on Sunday!? 🙇🏽♀️🙇🏽♀️ Well Ulta released this line early then lol Movie: Spy Kids!! Pro-Tip: wash your hair in the sink or tub & you don't have to get your whole body wet😉 Being honest, your Olaplex side looks bigger/fuller Interested in the giveaway but my hair isn't heat/color damaged. I get single strand knots & split ends. Plus, I'm anemic (I just order supplements!) which has been then cause to some thinning and excessive shedding.
I've been using Olaplex for the past few months to help repair my colored and formerly relaxed hair, so I would love to test this one out as well. Olaplex has been working pretty well for me, so it would be an interesting comparison.
Bianca Renee is who you see when you look up "curly" in the dictionary.
And Toni macaroni 😍
I immediately saw her in there when I read your comment..lol. with her side eye she be giving us..like gurl, how many times i gotta let ya..deep condition..lol

Aww thank you so much! Means a lot to me 😭❤️
I honestly like the olaplex side better. It had length and volume. But I still like the curlsmith bond side.
Omg, me too.
Same! The olaplex side looks more voluminous!
Same. Both look good but Olaplex side has more volume and definition.
Me too
Me too! Olaplex looks better to me.
Both sides look amazing depending on what you’re looking for!
Curlsmith: More definition/ a little shinier
Olaplex: More length/volume

But your hair does look amazing!!
I want it i want it!!
Bianca always with the new new. I can’t wait for the full line to drop 😩😩. I need this because olaplex is a bit high and I’m a bougie natural!
Haha the whole line is out now!!
@@BiancaReneeToday Say less!
ulta has random 40-50 off sales on curlsmith
I think the curlsmith side looks shinier and the curls look fuller and tighter. Your hair slays either way 🔥
I think the olaplex side looks fuller and longer but the curls on both sides look pretty similar.
Thank you I agree olaplex is more fuller and longer.
Same that's the first thing I noticed too
Well her curl patern is even
Great review, Bianca! Love the definition you got on both sides 😍

That sounds like a great idea! Please share your results and hair growth
I’ll do it with you. I just put my other products away and strictly sticking with the curlsmith
I want to do this so bad but I still have so much product to go through 😩

YES exactly what I was thinking 😂
YESSS 😂😂😂
YESS😂😂😂😂
actually the silicone used in olaplex (ammodimethicone) is beneficial if you have color treated hair bc it seals your hair shaft to trap moisture in + keeps the color longer
The no 3 has no silicone in it though. It's CG approved
Silicones are not biodegradable. It may "dissolve" in water but that only means there's microscopic bits of plastic in the water...
@@alejandraibarracerda9249 same that's why I don't use them. We don't currently have a filtration system that can get the liquid plastic out of the water reliably.
The wording in what the product is, is very specific. As a licensed professional, I am olaplex certified and olaplex is a bond BUILDER. And the active ingredient is patented so no other product can BUILD bonds. It seems like the curl smith is a bind protector.. maybe something with protein. Not exactly sure. The curl smith one I’m sure is nice but it won’t be able to replace the olaplex.
I thought about that too however does that mean that olaplex is the only product that CAN be a bonding product or does that mean olaplex is the only company that can use that bonding agent?Hmmm I have alot of questions.
Since olaplex is more expensive, would using it 4x per year (think with the seasons) then using curlsmith the other times be the best of both worlds?
Why does everyone say "for heat damage, color damaged" when ppl with high porosity more so need it as well your hair doesnt have to be damaged to use these products
Probably because most people think that’s the only way you end up with high porosity hair. The majority of high profile natural hair YT profess to be low porosity or refuse to say 🙄

Its been altered from its original state and needs extra care regardless of porosity

But u don't need to use a lot of Olaplex. I have a ton of hair on my head and I'm not going through the product. They even say on the directions, less is more.
I was waiting for a review from Biana Renee before I spent money on this product.
Here in Canada $42.00 with tax. Quite high
I feel like this is why it's so important to try hair products, especially ones that claim to "repair" your hair after a period of time (2 weeks - 1 month), because you're really not going to see a change after the first time use.
i think the curls on the curlsmith side look prettier but the olaplex side looks more voluminous

I already bought it 😭😭 and ulta is having a sale right now on their jumbo sizes of curlsmith
Didn't know Ultra had curl smith. Thanks
I would definitely like to try it my 3 year natural anniversary is in two weeks and I feel like my hair has flourish the way I would like.
The only protein I'm seeing in the Bond Curl is sort of creatine. Is it small enough to penetrate the hair?
Wow what a great way to start the new year! I saw these products in Ulta but I was like wait! No moves until Bianca talks about it!! 💜
This line of Curlsmith was already in Ulta and had reviews which confused me lol
Yes! I noticed that and I kept on looking on YT for reviews and there was none lol. I guess they had a soft launch on Ulta and today is the official launch
Ulta always gets the launch on curl smith first for some reason
What were the reviews?
@@dianagbg there are only 5 reviews. All positive.
Probably cause they had too have people try it out before putting out it’s normal too

Yes! You're answering all my doubts about application!! It drives me insane not knowing exactly when/how to apply pre treatments. 🤔😕
I learned about Curlsmith from you and it has done wonders for my hair. Only thing I use now.
Great review but I was really hoping you’d test out the stylers ☹️

Absolutely. Curls are no longer stringy. Only problem is a dry middle patch which I gave up on.
Cries in Canada . Ordering curl smith gives us like over $50

I personally like the curlsmith side better! I purchased the whole strength line from Ulta already and so far I am obsessed!
I’m definitely down to try this. I spent 4 years at a job that required me to have my curls up in a bun and unfortunately ruined my curls. I’ve started using curlsmith and have been looking into olaplex. But if I could stay in the same product family I would love that!!! I’m genuinely excited to try this product and hopefully be one of your bond models!!!!!
Both sides are great and your hair always looks gorgeous!
💜💜 I ordered the kit from Ulta, can’t wait to try it!!!! I’m am a fan of CurlSmith and use Olaxplex No.3 so I’m curious 🧐
And I agree with your thoughts on the Curl Smith vs. Olaplex comparison!
The Curl Smith side looks more defined. But Olaplex made your hair look more full and you had more volume.
But like Penny said on your live that the more shrinkage you have the healthier your hair is? Because it springs up and is able to hold its shape.
Both sides look great! But I think the curlsmith side has more definition 🤨
Both sides look really good. I like the volume and definition of the Olaplex side.
I'm interested in trying the product, my hair doesn't have color damage but it's dry and I'm dealing with some breakage and I'm wondering if this will help
I think it would help because some curly hair youtubers have healthy hair but still do protein treatments and hair masks. It will just give you a little ump and curl definition and help with the breakage.
It will. It's not just for color damage.
You have to be mindful of why your hair is dry and breaking. Is it because you need more moisture in your routine, is it because your hair is damaged, is it because your need a trim, etc. If you have dry hair, I would not recommend CurlSmith, which is a protein treatment. The protein could potentially dry your hair out even more.
The Olaplex side looks fuller for sure. Your hair is beautiful either way 💜😍💜
Oooo this is going to be good!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Happiest of New Years everyone!! 🎊🎉🎊🎉
Your hair is really growing and it’s so beautiful. You should’ve worn purple to match the bottle. I hope this is really helpful to those who need it.
The shiitake mushroom joke was Austin powers Goldmember?? lol. I think I’m gonna cop this!! 🙌🏽☺️
I have been dying to try Curlsmith for a while!! I don't see much of a difference with Olaplex cause I can't use their other products cause of the silicone. My hair is dry, damaged, and tons of shedding in the shower. I did a chop in 2016 since then no dyes, bleach, or heat but still damage. I love your videos and hair. Even if you don't select me looking forward to seeing the chosen ones hair journey!!
Our curl queen has done it again! Thank you for always being our tester lol
Curlsmith side is bomb!

I am so in! 🙌🏽🤍 I need my curls revived from my Monat fiasco
There is so much conflicting info about protein... How often, when to, protein sensitivity, layering proteins... And so on... My hair stylist told me that I didn't need to do protein but once or twice a year... But who even knows... How does one know?
My video might help!! 💜
Depends on porosity of your hair, Manes by Mell has a great video explaining protein 😁
It all depends on your hair really! everyone is different. I have high porosity, bleached hair so I need to use protein on a weekly bases. If your stylist says you only need it every now and then it probably means your hair is very low porosity. hope that help!
@@HiF3licia I've seen it... I've seen them all... That's The problem loll
@@berchyzgb4423 I've seen it... I've seen them all .. that's the problem lol
I do agree with the comments saying that the olaplex side has more length and volume. But personally, for my wn hair goals, I'm in love with the definition from curl smith.
Yep, I’m interested but even if you don’t choose me, I’m gonna do try it and document anyway
I’ve been really struggling with my curls for the last year and I’ve tried everything including Olaplex. I saw this new product came out and I would LOVE to try it! 😍
1:09 SPY KIDS 😂 I used to love those movies when I was younger
found your channel a few months ago and have been integrating your advice into my hair care. Been hair masking once a week and got the not your mother's shampoo and conditioner. I can honestly say that I see a major difference! Thank you so much!!! Have put the straightener far out of sight and out of reach. Now I'm working in hydrating my hair and discovering my true curl pattern. Would love to be a bond girl haha
I so wish we had this here in our country
Thanks for this video! After comparing the ingredient list of both products, I am going to purchase the Curlsmith products and rotate it into my monthly routine. Olaxplex doesn't have f protein and the Curlsmith does. I'm sold. Who doesn't want bigger juicer curls?!
omg curlsmith has something similar to olapex?! How did I not know this ?!
It’s new!!!
@@lesleyweaver8898 lol I know! Just saying some people already saw it and knew beforehand
It’s new just launched today. We found out on the Ulta website beforehand. 😁
I bought the kit a week ago so idk y they said today
@@kchaparro04 it officially launched on the CurlSmith website today. Ulta got it early
I was actually just debating about these two products. So I’m glad you’re trying it.
Whatttt Friday videos! How I've missed this! & then this year's challenge on Sunday!? 🙇🏽♀️🙇🏽♀️
Well Ulta released this line early then lol
Movie: Spy Kids!!
Pro-Tip: wash your hair in the sink or tub & you don't have to get your whole body wet😉
Being honest, your Olaplex side looks bigger/fuller
Interested in the giveaway but my hair isn't heat/color damaged. I get single strand knots & split ends. Plus, I'm anemic (I just order supplements!) which has been then cause to some thinning and excessive shedding.
Beautiful hair! The Olaplex side looks more voluminous, curly and lengthy. Overall, I think Olaplex gives the best results.
Never clicked on something so fast! Lol
I've been using Olaplex for the past few months to help repair my colored and formerly relaxed hair, so I would love to test this one out as well. Olaplex has been working pretty well for me, so it would be an interesting comparison.
I am interested in being a “bond curl model” (be bondies)
Best review yet!! Love LOVE how you are including your followers
I am quite interested in being a Curlsmith Bondonian.
I always wanted to try olaplex, but the small bottle for all that money is why I haven't purchased it. So this amazing!!
