I've Tested All Bond Builders On My Natural Hair... These Are Worth Your Money (part 1)

I tested 15 different bond repair products on my natural Type 4 hair to find out which ones actually work — and which ones are just glorified conditioners. In this first episode of my *Bond Repair Series*, I'm reviewing Olaplex, Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate, and Living Proof Triple Bond Complex. We'll talk about what bond repair actually means, how these formulas claim to work, what the science says, and how they performed on my 4C hair that's regularly blow-dried and heat-styled. Whether your hair is relaxed, bleached, or just fragile from styling, this video will help you decide which bond builder is really worth your time and your money. *Part 2:* K18, Epres, Amika, Bumble & Bumble, Curlsmith *Part 3:* L’Oréal Elvive, Dove, Pantene, OGX *Final Comparison:* every product ranked side-by-side --- *Timestamps:* 0:00 Intro 00:55 Series explanation 1:24 Rules I’m following 2:40 What are bonds / bond repair? 4:25 Olaplex 6:14 Olaplex’s numbering system 7:10 Experience using Olaplex 9:18 Science Olaplex 13:07 Redken 15:04 Science Redken 18:26 Living Proof 21:35 What product is for you? --- *Bond Builders in this video:* Olaplex no. 3 — https://amzn.to/4qfvthX Redken ABC conditioner — https://amzn.to/4qA9fYm Living Proof Triple Bond Complex— https://amzn.to/47yF9Nb Olaplex no. 0 — https://amzn.to/3JmHykP Redken ABC Mask — https://amzn.to/4o9vJOk Redken ABC pre-shampoo treatment — https://amzn.to/3L1iIHI Some of the links above are affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them.
