Tip 1: Curlsmith Bond Salve
Our most popular product for anyone with damaged hair is hands down the Curlsmith Bond Salve . This fantastic formula is designed to repair and strengthen the bridges in your hair.
Your hair bonds can become damaged by several factors, such as dyeing your hair, frequent dry brushing, chemical treatments, or regular use of heat tools like a hair straightener (but don't worry, a diffuser can still be used safely!).
The Curlsmith Bond Salve is a pre-shampoo treatment, which means you use it before washing your hair with shampoo and conditioner. It is an essential step in your hair care routine for optimal repair and protection.
Last but not least, this treatment is completely CG Proof, vegan and suitable for all types of curls and textures. It is part of the Strength Recipes line, in which all products contain protein that can help repair damaged hair.

Switch completely to the CG Method
Do you have curly hair and did you end up on this page via Google? Then we recommend that you take a look at the CG Method . This method has been specially developed for the care of curly hair. With the CG Method you only use products that are free of aggressive ingredients such as sulphates and drying alcohol . It is a great way to optimally care for your curls and make them shine.
Only brush your hair if you have a leave-in, mask or conditioner in your hair
Our hair is extremely fragile. If you find yourself pulling your hair while brushing, it means you are damaging your hair. A useful tip is to brush your hair while washing, for example when using a conditioner or hair mask . This way you protect your hair. Also try to limit brushing your hair as much as possible.
Also protect your hair while sleeping
For good hair care, it is advisable to put your hair up or tie it up while sleeping. If you are used to sleeping on a cotton pillowcase, it is useful to switch to a satin weave variant. Using a satin pillowcase reduces friction and therefore provides extra protection for your hair. This simple change can help keep your hair healthier while you sleep.
Do not get started with DIY products
We see it every now and then: for damaged hair, a gelatin mask or other homemade products to repair the hair. We do not recommend that you do this, as it has been scientifically proven that it has no effect on your hair. In addition, it is important to know that the PH value of a product has a major influence on the hair. With a homemade product you do not know what the PH is. If the PH is too high or extremely low, you can damage your hair.
Give it time
It is understandable that your hair cannot be repaired in one go if it is damaged. While the products mentioned above will certainly help you, it is also important to give yourself and your hair time to recover. Repairing damaged hair is a process that takes time. Keep at it, because things will definitely work out in the end!
