12 Dominican-Owned Beauty Brands We're All About Right Now

Lulu Cordero launched Bomba Curls after experiencing hair loss transitioning back to her natural curls. She looked to Dominican sacred hair remedies that include ancestral ingredients like organic coffee grounds and rosemary to help remedy her hair back to health and eventually bottled it to make it more accessible to others in the community.

"[When it comes to the Dominican community's contributions to the beauty landscape in the States], the Dominican hair salon is the first thing that comes to mind. We truly do love hair care and have natural remedies that have been passed down over generations," Cordero told POPSUGAR. "It's important that we be able to share our remedies in a way that authentically honors the roots — our ancestors — the source from which these remedies came."

The Bomba Curls Dominican Forbidden Oil ($22) is formulated with coffee, castor oil, black-cumin seeds, and rosemary to help promote a healthy scalp and hair.
