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

While the brand is mostly known for its Curl Defining Cream that leaves curls silky smooth, hydrated, and defined (I'm a major fan myself), earlier this year Prado launched her Rizos Curls Light Hold Gel ($25) after seeing that so many of her customers were cocktailing her curl cream with styling products. Unlike most hair gels, this one is made with 95 percent naturally derived ingredients, including flaxseeds, aloe vera, and thyme, and nourishes while it styles. This gel creates great hold and leaves curls super defined and free from frizz but without the crunch, stiffness, or cast we experience from other formulas. The best part? It works for all curl types from the 2s to the 4s!
