After watching so many others basically say, "Look, my hair looks good on both sides" it was helpful to get some scientiffy info and actually make an informed (inevitable) purchase. Thanks again!

@ManesByMell 3 года назад

That's what I'm hair for! Glad I could help

@Julie-ug4nn 3 года назад

I've been watching influencers with gorgeous hair do this and talk about how "It's the same on both sides!" (i.e. looks exactly the same as before they used the products). So I am very thankful that YOU actually tested it on damaged hair. Keep being awesome.

@ManesByMell 3 года назад

I just want to thank you Mel as well as Amanda!! I grew up being the only curly one in my family and had no idea how to care for it. Because of this channel I really learned so much about my hair, I finally buckled down and took this quarentine to figure out my curly way. I've seen so much improvement after following your tips and techniques. I'm even helping my bf's little sister get her routine going since she's also the only curly head in her household. You are amazing 💖

Your honesty is one of the best things about your videos!! The editing is also bomb!!! I enjoyed it so much. Thank you Mell and Amanda!!

@squeaks733 3 года назад

Omg! I finished another video while drinking my coffee and was pleasantly surprised to see this video up! The timing couldn’t be better. I purchased the strength recipe kit to try on my bleached hairs, but have been consuming all the reviews I can before it arrives. I love olaplex and can tell a difference in my curl pattern when I use it, but $28 for 3.3oz causes me to not use it as often. Looking forward to an affordable alternative. Thank you Seesters!

@ceka115 3 года назад

My hair started to curl when I was 14 (13 years ago) and I learnd to manage it on my own and with the limited reasources that were then available. I used one styling product, I didnt manipulate it at all and it was always great! I truly did not know how little of an effort I put in my hair. Well, recently it started to change, lose definition and then I found this vast world of products, techniques, tools and curly scienece. My go to YT channel and teacher is Mell! Amazing content and I can alreday see results in my hair 🥰

@priscillakhoury9898 3 года назад

A big pro for the Curlsmith product, is that it targets all three bonds; whereas the Olaplex product only targets disulfide bonds. Combined with Curlsmith being cheaper per mL... I can't wait to try it!

I found you in December and have cut my hair following 1 of your videos. Sad that after 50+ yrs of TRYING to get ANYONE to understand I require my crown to be cut shorter to keep the weight down, I accomplished it with this cut. Bought products (Cantu from Walgreens and they were on sale PLUS!) Pretty happy with what I'm seeing. And let me say, I knew I had curly hair BUT OH THE CURLS! WHAT!?! THANK YOU! I'm embracing this curl.

@bsarlie 3 года назад

Thank you Mel for being the only influencer to give an honest review and call it what it is. A protein treatment. I like that you recommend using the Olaplex with the Curlsmith Bond treatment. I'm also assuming that the Curlsmith might put you at risk for protein overload if you're hair isn't damaged if you use it once a week like the Olaplex.

@corrinamarie454 3 года назад

My husband already had instructions to pick up the entire new Curlsmith Iine, but this was super helpful in terms of understanding when to reach for Curlsmith and when to reach for Olaplex.

@rachray83 Год назад

After salon hairlights, Step 1 & 2 were used on my hair in the salon, possibly with no 3 and I felt and saw the difference. A return to virgin hair is an accurate definition and my hair accepted water way more than before, it was just luscious and the curls were so buttery, easy to detangle and defined defined defined

@finecurls2291 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this! I've been saying this all along. These 2 treatments SHOULD NOT be compared because Olaplex is protein free. I trust your opinion because you always go in with the SCIENCE. I currently use Olaplex n°3.. it is definitely helping with breakage .. my hair is low porosity and doesn't like protein too much. Thank you so much for clearing up what I knew all along. I just hate when influencers compare products without the knowledge of ingredients. YOU ARE AWESOME MEL😘❤

@wavygirljessie 3 года назад

@@staceycordell3739 I think every single influencer I've seen being paid to advertise this product lately has done an olaplex and a curlsmith comparison 😅 I'm assuming that was one of curlsmiths requirements when agreeing to the ads and what they asked for from influencers 🤷🏻‍♀️ it's a shame it almost feels like they're all creating the same content around this product and it would have been nice to see them have some more freedom on how they wanted to advertise/promote the product. Because you're right, olaplex doesn't contain protein or conditioning agents so they're not really the same thing 😅

I was desperate about getting my original bounce and this video just saved my curls. Thanks curlsmith and mell! ❤️

Thank you for all the detailed information! I have been wondering about this product and everyone else has just been doing first impressions, which isn't very helpful with a product like this. I have been using Aphogee once a month as a protein treatment, but once I finish the bottle I'm on I will definitely give this a try.
