Bond Repair Balm - Travel

"The try-before-you-commit size of OUAI's bond balm. Smart way to test a $50 product."
Our take

$28 Price at OUAI, checked Oct 2026.

The short answer

This is the 1.7 oz travel size of OUAI's Bond Repair Balm, an in-shower treatment with vegan silk protein, hyaluronic acid and a rice protein peptide. It's worth it if you want to see how your hair responds before buying the full size. It's also handy for trips.

How to use

Shampoo, rinse and skip conditioner. Apply one pump from the eyeline down, leave on for 3 minutes, then rinse.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it: It lowers the risk on a pricey product. The formula is the same as the full size.
Skip it if: You already know you love it, since the full size is better value.
The catch: Per ounce, it costs noticeably more than the full size, and 1.7 oz won't last long on thick hair.
