Bond Curl Rehab Salve
Protein-rich pre-shampoo repair treatment — 4.8★ rated
The highest-rated product in the Curlsmith range at 4.8 stars on Ulta — this protein-packed pre-shampoo treatment from the Strength (purple) range is applied before shampooing and left for 15–30 minutes to work on broken bonds within the hair shaft. Formulated with chia seed, shiitake mushroom, blackcurrant, and kale, it targets the structural damage caused by bleaching, colour processing, and heat styling rather than surface-level conditioning. High-porosity curls with damage will notice the difference in resilience and snap almost immediately. Apply section by section to dry or damp hair before your wash, use heat for better penetration, then shampoo and condition as usual.
