Bomba Curls Dominican
Forbidden Oil
We've never seen more five-star reviews across the board from our testers than with the Ceremonia Guava Leave-In Conditioner ($17). Not only does it smell delicious — like sipping a tropical cocktail on the beach in Costa Rica — but this light and creamy formula also uses Latin America-sourced ingredients like safflower extract to hydrate without weighing down hair. Oh, and while it has the consistency of your favorite custard dessert, it leaves behind zero greasy residue.
It's not just the name that should make you want to try the Bomba Curls Dominican Forbidden Oil ($22). It blends together oils like castor and black cumin seed to deeply moisturize and deliver that “glass hair” effect you've seen all over Instagram. (You can even spread it on patches of dry skin or wherever else you need a hit of hydration.) Plus, its ingredients are sourced straight from the Dominican Republic, so
you can feel good knowing your
purchase is helping la cultura.

Rizos Curls Light Hold Gel
You want your french fries to be crunchy, not your curls. That's why our editors trust the Rizos Curls Light Hold Gel ($22) to keep things soft, bouncy, and defined — but never crisp. It contains soothing aloe vera for your scalp, hydrating flaxseed to keep ringlets smooth, and even the ingredient
arginine, which has been known
to reduce hair breakage.
Pro Pick
Better-Not-Younger New Dawn Activated Charcoal Scalp Cleanser
Rahua Classic Shampoo
The Rahua Classic Shampoo ($34) has long been an editor favorite, and for good reason: the formula is rich in antioxidants, is sustainably sourced, and plays well with all hair types. Even better? The gentle formula cleanses without stripping your scalp of its natural oils and leaves behind the dreamiest (but subtle) scent of palo santo that will have you feeling in a constant state of bliss.
“Scalp scrubs are really important for overall hair health, especially for thicker or curlier types that tend to use a lot of product. In the same way you exfoliate your face, you should be exfoliating your scalp. The Better-Not-Younger New Dawn Activated Charcoal Scalp Cleanser ($34) is a great way to cleanse your
scalp without stripping your hair.
It's also great for flakes.”
