These Afro-Latinx-Owned Beauty Brands Have Transformed My Routine

Bomba Curls's offerings include the Forbidden Hair Mask, a deep-conditioning treatment made with raw cinnamon, pistachio, and cupuaçu butter, and the Bomba Beauty Bites hair-growth gummies that are designed to support healthy hair growth and stronger nails, and are just as delicious as they are effective. They taste just like chinola, aka passion fruit! But the Holy Grail of the brand is hands down the Bomba Curls Dominican Forbidden Oil ($22). A true Dominican hair secret, this oil is formulated with everything from organic coffee seeds from the Dominican Republic to castor oil, black-cumin-seed oil, and rosemary extract to help promote healthy hair and a healthy scalp. After two months, I noticed a drastic increase in the length and thickness of my curls. It's been a part of my weekly hair-care routine ever since!
