Opalex: Bond Protector with Straightening (10/10) **Best Bond Treatment/Straightening/Light Weight Styling

 

The No. 6 Bond Smoother & No. 7 Bonding Oil are the real MVPs. My hair was as light as a feather and smooth afterwards and did not feel weighed down even after using a moderate to liberal amount of product. I had one of the smoothest blowouts next to the IGK. Again, my cons are: this stuff is expensive.  Pros: After using the treatment system No. 3-5, I could definitely see a better curl pattern. (I did have a trim since using the IGK system) At the completion of my hair I felt I wanted more oil or sheen but then after unwrapping my hair for day 2 it gave a nice light weight feel and my side-sweep-bang looked amazing and not weighed down.
