Bond Repair

A Bond Repair is great for re-constructing hair follicles to get those curls popping again. After an ascorbic acid treatment, applying a bond repair to your hair will make it feel like it has shrunk. Perceived length disappearing has metamorphosized to extra volume and lift. Your shape may seem several inches shorter so be prepared for a texture reboot as well as shine and flexibility to the curl. If receiving a hair-cut on the same day as cleansing and re-constructing, you might experience a sensory overload.

In my experience, bond repair is excellent for fighting frizz. If a keratin treatment that is protein based has anti-frizz properties, then a bond repair that is protein based is similar in effect. The keratin treatment is Demi-Permanent and a chemical reaction with a heat press.  A repair conditioner is temporary, topical and water soluble. They both serve a purpose.

Olaplex invented the first bond repair, revolutionizing repair systems for damaged lifeless over-processed hair. I like it a lot. However, I think Olaplex works better for straight hair.  

DevaCurl PROBOOST is a professional ‘in salon’ treatment.  It is awesome for a reboot to recoil and silken curls. DevaCurl CURLBOND Re-Coiling Repair & Bond Shampoo is a great at home regimen enhancer, reinforcing ‘in salon’ services.

The DevaCurl PROBOOST is a watery like substance.  It is a smaller molecule than typical reconstructors. It seeps into the hair follicle filling porous hair with protein lipids meant to stick up to 55 washes.  It is similar to Olaplex No.1 & No. 2, professional ‘in salon’ treatment but designed specifically for curly hair.
