Latinx brands have long made their presence known in beauty, from skincare and makeup to hair care—and more specifically, curly hair care. Some of our favorite brands, like Rizos Curls and Honey Baby Naturals, offer curly hair care lines dedicated to curls, coils, and waves while staying true to their Latin roots.
In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month this year, let us introduce you to some must-try products to show support to Latinx-owned businesses. Ahead are 12 moisturizing, Latinx-owned curly products—just in time for your new fall routine.

Hause of Curls was founded by Sherly Tavarez, who wanted to create a brand that would help combat the stigma surrounding curly hair in the Latin community. Her trendy and adorable accessories, shirts, and swimsuits are the perfect way to wear your curls, coils, and waves proudly.
7. Hello Updo, Flora Silk Scrunchies, $32
Magdaline created Hello Updo to help improve the experience of wearing a hair tie on textured hair. Instead of having an accessory that pulls and tugs, she wanted an inclusive and effective option to accommodate smaller and fuller textures.

Say hello to voluminous hair with this nourishing mousse! Rahua has been tearing up the haircare scene courtesy of co-founder Fabian Lliguin and his wife Anna Ayers, who are Ecuadorian natives.

Lulu Cordero is the Afro-Latina behind the bodacious Bomba Curls which was created when she needed homemade remedies to cure her severe traction alopecia. This award-winning forbidden hair mask is an advanced, deep conditioning treatment that helps restore curl elasticity, moisture, and shine.
11. Better Not Younger Superpower+ Advanced Hair Densifying Serum, $57
If you’re curly and suffering from thinning hair, look no further. Better Not Younger was founded by Venezuelan native Sonsoles Gonzales, who wanted to create many solutions for women over 40 struggling with various hair concerns.
12. OCOA Beauty Hydrating Curl Cream, $19.98
Ocoa Beauty is the brainchild of Dominican sisters Cory and Nicol. They wanted to stop the conversation around “pelo malo” and teach fellow Latinas how to properly care for their hair.
