Whats the difference between having to pay bail and a bond?

I just was wondering cause my friend have a $500 bond and my cousin had to pay bail so I was only wondering what the difference was.

a bond is where you pay 10% of the bail to a bondsman to bring out of jail. You do not get this money back

if you wages the bail yourself you will get it back once you show up for your court dates

yes lately like the guy above me said he is correct
