Details

Benefits

  • Incredibly lightweight formula created with a blend of next-generation weightless oils, instantly absorbs without weighing the hair down
  • Locks in moisture and helps prevent frizz and dryness
  • Softens gel cast to get rid of the crunchy feeling and provides bouncy, soft, touchable results every time
  • Helps seal split ends and reduce signs of damage
  • Makes hair look shiny and silky smooth
  • Our hair is made of a keratin structure, which is reinforced by so-called hair bonds. Curlsmith’s Bonding Oil targets bonds to seal cuticles and reinforce the hair structure
  • Enriched with proteins to fortify the hair and make it more elastic
  • Balancing protein-rich and moisturizing products in your routine is key to strengthen and protect the hair against damage. The more damaged and porous your hair is, the more protein-rich products you should use.
  • Designed for all curls and texture types, this product is also suitable for straight hair

Key Ingredients

  • Vegan Keratin: made of Chickpea, Quinoa and Lentil proteins, designed to penetrate the hair shaft to fortify the hair’s structure
  • Castor oil blend: seals cuticles and smoothes down split ends and hair fibers, making hair look shinier and silky
  • Sea Buckthorn oil: nourishes strands while adding softness and shine
  • Next generation blend of Olive and Shea, which takes their nourishing properties but makes them super lightweight

Use one pump per hair section. Works best when applied on dry hair. If using on wash day, apply after fully diffusing or air drying. Smooth over curls to seal in all the moisture and tame cuticles. Gently scrunch through to break crunchy gel casts and make your hair soft and bouncy.

How to get the best from your curls

If your hair feels crunchy because you have used a strong hold gel don't worry - that's only temporary! The crunch is key to keeping moisture locked-in and providing protection from frizz whilst the hair is drying. Once fully dry, use one pump of Oil per hair section to gently scrunch out the crunch and return your curls to soft, bouncy goodness.

False advertising. This is not actually a "bonding oil" in the sense like the olaplex oil is, it's just a regular oil. It's fine and performs like any old oil but having the word "bonding" means they are up-charging. I do however like how the dispenser works.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

One pump rids any frizz

Super impressed with this hair oil, just like the other Curlsmith products. One pump literally vanquishes all frizz, leaving my hair soft and glistening without any greasiness, even on my hands. This oil is magical and smells amazing. My new favorite hair oil!
