Hi everyone! I'm going to pin some common questions/concerns I've been seeing: How often should I be using this product: -High Porosity: The water will instantly absorb inside the hair. Use every 2-3 wash days for at least 30 minutes -Medium Porosity: The water will form droplets on the surface of the hair and then absorb inside. Use every 3-4 wash days for at least 20 minutes -Low Porosity: The water will form droplets on the surface of the hair, without absorbing. Use every 4-5 wash days for at least 15 minutes Why are these two being compared if CurlSmith is a protein treatment not a bonding treatment. - So although CurlSmith contains protein, IT IS a bonding treatment. It helps target all three hair bonds (salt, hydrogen, & disulfide) to repair, restore, and rebuild the strength of your hair. Olaplex is also a bonding treatment that does not contain enough protein to even be considered a protein treatment. Nonetheless, I love both products. I'll forever be a fan of Olaplex, and I will not stop using it. CurlSmith is just another amazing option that provides both the benefits of a bonding and protein treatment! These are the 3 actives used: -Fiberhance™ patented complex, to target hydrogen and ionic (salt) bonds. You can find it in the INCI under HYDROXYPROPYLGLUCONAMIDE and HYDROXYPROPYLAMMONIUM GLUCONATE. -ProCutigen Bond® complex, to target disulfide bonds. This is derived from Chia seeds, so you can find it in the INCI under SALVIA HISPANICA (CHIA) SEED EXTRACT. -TEGO® Cosmo complex, to target electrostatic (salt) bonds. You can find it in the INCI under CREATINE. So the final take away is, this is not one brand bashing the other. These two are actually safe to use together, although it's not necessary. Use whichever would work best for you depending on what your hair needs at the moment. I know I wasn't the best candidate to show when it comes to damaged hair being that my hair is healthy, but that does not mean bonding treatments are not needed. Even if you have healthy hair, daily activities can damage the bonds of your hair. So I personally have been doing bonding treatments for years and will continue to use them in order to keep my curls strong, healthy, and prevent future damage. I hope this helps clear up any confusion you all may have had! Xo
Since curlsmith says its a bonding treatment that contains protein can you compare it to an actual protein treatment like aphogee? The marketing on this product is very confusing because on their website they call these products their protein line so I assume that it's a protein treatment like aphogee but all the videos are of people comparing this to a bonding treatment... I understand curlsmith is technically both but at the end of the day, if it says protein I want to see it compared to another protein product. I don't mean any hate, it's just all the videos on this product are practically identical but the message is still not making any sense to me. All things aside, your hair looked amazing after using that
@@ajones8939 no I totally understand! So the CurlSmith treatment won't be AS intense as the apHogee treatment. The CurlSmith product is more of a moisturizing protein treatment, while apHogee is definitely more intense! Im happy to do a comparison video of two protein treatments as well! The reason CurlSmith is being compared to Olaplex is because it's also a bonding treatment, just with protein!
Thanks for the review. I appreciate you all doing this - one note is that they are different treatments so comparing them is not really reasonable. Curlsmith has protein and moisture but Olaplex is bonding only - no protein or moisture. Olaplex needs a deep conditioner after. Either way your hair looks good. I definitely plan to try once in a while for protein but Olaplex as a bonding. treatment
I agree! Both bonding treatments, but Olaplex doesn't even contain enough protein to be considered a protein treatment. They're both very similar products, but still very different. The CurlSmith treatment is definitely different in comparison to any protein treatment I've used as far as leaving my hair moisturized post washing out. Very good points! But thanks girl! ❤️
It makes sense that the Curlsmith side gave you more shrinkage. I would say the Curlsmith product is both a bond builder and a protein treatment, whereas the Olaplex treatment is only a bond builder so you still need to do a separate protein treatment so you’re getting a 2 in 1 with Curlsmith and more product for about the same price as Olaplex so Curlsmith is definitely a better deal.
Thank for this video!! Olapex is one of my favorite for bonding treatments! I’m always nervous to use protein treatment with my hair but definitely going to try Curlsmith’s!
Mine too! I like having options now tho! This is a good start if you're looking to try a mild protein treatment, it's not aggressive on the hair as others are! ❤️
Welcome back love ! Thank you for this informative review I truly appreciate it! I’m going to purchase the curls smith protein bond treatment tomorrow. I’m very heavy handed with my products so curls smiths would be the best option for me 🥰
I recently tried Olaplex no. 3 for the first time...I guess I'll have to test Curlsmith out too. Great video! and I just found your channel too. New sub :)
@@curlelia I really liked the Olaplex! But I also know my hair needs some protein so I'm really considering the CurlSmith. I'll probably make a review on it as well
Great review as always I love love your channel! Can you please do a video on hair supplements, I would love to hear your thoughts and which ones would you recommend thanks ❤️❤️
I feel like curlsmith shouldn't make sponsorship comparing their product to another brand. I've seen about 5 of these types of videos and it's like they specifically made their product to have seemingly better results. I don't know if it's just me who feels that way. If a brand wants to show that they product works then there should be a comparison of someone's hair with and without the product not the product vs a popular named product. That just seems unethical to me personally.
I can see what you're saying for sure. I think their goal was to show that they're are other options in the market. I'm a HUGE fan of Olaplex and always will be. They're both bonding treatments, but Olaplex doesn't have enough protein to be even considered a protein treatment. So although both products are similar, they're still very different just based on their ingredients alone.
I agree. I think it’s making a comparison because most people will do it on their own. It is also the nature of competition as there are many similar products out there. I think it’s a good thing because it is a different price point and one is actually a protein while another isn’t
I agree I’ve reported every video that included the paid promotion because it’s like how are you comparing products that are clearly different and are meant to have different results, One can’t be better than the other they can be used together
@Ash Noragami I get that, but CurlSmith is also a bonding treatment. It does indeed contain protein so it can be used as a 2-in-1, as Olaplex is solely a bonding treatment. They're both great products, it's just another variation of a bonding treatment. if your hair is more sensitive to protein you'd lean and grab Olaplex vs. if say you are high porosity or in need of a protein fix, your hair would love CurlSmith because of the amount of protein it contains. Nonetheless, I get why people would feel a way, but CurlSmith paid for influencers to give their honest opinion. They don't give a layout on what to say and I think thats the common misconception people tend to have with paid partnerships. I couldn't say I liked one product over the other because they're both great and are perfect options for anyone looking to try a bonding treatment. Since Olaplex is the top bonding treatment in the market (IMO)- They wanted to show another variation of a bonding treatment for those who may want options.
Happy New Year! Yay! I am so happy that you are making this video. I ordered mine last week! Miss your videos 😉. I did try some curlsmith products Moisture memory reactivator and the styling soufflé and my hair loves it. Can’t wait to try it! I hope that you answer my question; what do you think about the Dyson blower? I want get it but it is pricey... thank you
Hi! Awe I missed making them for you guys! I'm back now tho haha- I'm excited for you to try CurlSmith because they're bomb! As far as my Dyson, I absolutely love it. It's definitely pricey but I love it ❤️
Thank you love! This is my natural hair color! I 100% thing you should give it a shot! Its a very moisturizing protein + bonding treatment! Let me know how it works for you if you get it! ❤️
Thx for your honest review. I’ve never tried Curl Smith products but I think I’ll add that one to my list. Have you ever tried the Olaplex No. 0 in combination with No. 3? I’d love to get your opinion. I recently purchased them and am looking forward to trying them out on my low porosity hair. Tfs 👍🏽😊
@@mariaarriola6329 oh wow okay! Tomorrow’s my wash day so I’ll be trying them out. Won’t be trying the other Olaplex products, I don’t need the dryness.
Hi there! They are both in fact bonding treatments. One just contains more protein than the other. Olaplex does contain protein just not enough to be considered a protein treatment while CurlSmith contains natural protein. So yes, both can be compared being that they are both bonding treatments, but it'll all be dependent on what you're looking for from a product. 🤷🏽♀️
Girl! My stylist commented on another video and she was furious that Curlsmith is paying people to compare the products when there can’t be a comparison...... I think to keep it ethical all sponsored videos should include info about both product and a disclaimer to research the products on your own
After sending you the Olaplex 0, 3, 6 and 7 pictures through IG I was expecting to communicate and get tips from you since I have low porosity hair like you. I found it rude on your behalf that did not reply to messages. When I found your channel I was like yes full support, she is Hispanic and I relate to the hair type! I understand is not mandatory to answer or interact we all have busy lives, etc
Hi love! I get SOO many messages daily, that messages tend to get lost. I'd never purposely ignore you guys. Send me over another message! I'll be on the look out!

Hi Noelia.. Question.. Can Olaplex and Curlsmith be used under the steamer? Thank you!

Thank you for this video as you are the first person with low porosity hair that I have seen
The Olapex side has more elongation while the Curlsmith side has more shrinkage. Great review!
I’m so happy your reviewing this cuz I was debating on getting this 😌 also you’re gorgeous 💖

It’s because her curls are more defined
Welcome back love ! Thank you for this informative review I truly appreciate it! I’m going to purchase the curls smith protein bond treatment tomorrow. I’m very heavy handed with my products so curls smiths would be the best option for me 🥰
You'll love it! It's not too aggressive on the hair either as others tend to be. I love it!
I only like the ruby gel from curl smith the rest of their products I didn't love BUT you convinced me to want to try this product!
Thanks for the video!! Good to know!! Definitely will be trying out the Curls Smith, since I already have the Olaplex!!!’

Nice review. I want to try curlsmith due to the price and shrinkage I'm seeing in the reviews.

How did you like the Olaplex? I love how it works in my hair! If your hair enjoys protein, I feel it would love the CurlSmith for sure!
