I'm Latina and I always go to the Ethnic/African-American/Multicultural aisle mainly because I have thick 3b/3c curly hair, so I'm choosing products specifically for my type of hair, and I think Latina covers such a broad range of hair textures, there's so much diversity that there's no such thing as stereotypical Latina hair. Because you can be Latina and have thin,fine straight hair to big voluptuous waves to big kinky curly hair..
me to but because I'm Malty race and have different hair type 3a, 3b, 2a,2b and straight I'm Latina black white jamacin native amrican and irsh also rushin
lemony jazmin I'm Puerto Rican, Native American, African, Italian, and German with type 3b hair. I agree completely. Fixing my hair would give you whole new appreciation for the hair you already have.
I'm mix with Mexican and black. I use the black products cause they work a lot better for me. I agree you should use products based on your hair type rather than your heritage.
+King's “Black” Queen so yall want her to say she half white/native and half black? stop telling other groups of ppl what their race is lol. Mexicans are nor black I can tell you that much.
I'm Latina (Puerto Rican) and I've never heard of Latina hair products. It seems kind of silly. My hair and my sisters hair are completely different textures. my oldest sister has straight/wavy hair. the second oldest has tight curls. the third oldest has wavy. I have thick and looser curls. the youngest has 4b type hair. We just buy products for our hair type. 3/5 of us use African or natural hair care products and the other two go for the "general" products (Pantene, tresemmé, Dove.) It's that mixed race tho lol
I'm Latino (salvadorian) and me and my brother have very different hair, he has wavy hair meanwhile I have very curly hair(3A in the front 3C/3B in the back), curly hair is actually not very common in El Salvador, most of us have very thick wavy or straight black hair, but I got the curly hair because of my mom. I think that hispanic hair is so diverse even within the same family because we are usually mixed, most salvadorians being half native american half southern european
You never came across Mirta de Perales products while growing up in a PR household? I thought that was a standard along with Dominican hair care products.
I LOVE LA BELLA GEL FOR CURLS! As a Latina, I don't think that "Latina hair care products" are for "Latina hair" necessarily because they aren't any different. It's more of a "blast from the past" so that when 1st to 2nd generation Latino consumers see these products, they will feel compelled to buy them because they remember using them back in the day (given that their experience with the product is a positive one). I loved that ya'll did a video on this topic! Way to go!
+Genesis Galva Awesome insight Genesis! Yes - we discovered that's it's more about the name brand than the actual "hair type" of the product. That Cabellina was definitely old school! lol Thanks so much for the comment ^__^ -Evelyn
Isn't "Latina hair" all different bc they're a black, white, brown, mixed race latinos so what's the point of having a shelf just for latinos like the ones with Afro decent can use black products and people with straight hair use the "normal/white" products
Yes, Latino is not a race, is WHERE are you from! Really third part of my country population is white, the other third is mixed and the third part is black and indigenous. Saying Latinos are a race is invisibilize that we have a lot of ethnic groups in our territory
Guuurl wtf is "latina hair products" ? I am puerto rican ( I'm very lightskin and ambiguous, and of african descent, I self ID as black in terms of the diaspora) and my family has always gone straight to the black hair care aisle because everyone in my immediate family except for my dad has thick big afro centric hair in the it is all a mix of 3b- 4c textures/ curl patterns, because , like ,we black... duh lol. I have never in my entire life heard of or seen a latina hair product aisle in my entire life n I live in central florida. This is crazy to me, I am truly gagged. lol
You live in Florida and never came across Mirta de Perales hair care products which run the gamut for practically every texture hair in a Latino household? I'm of Puerto Rican descent with family members that run from 1As to 4Cs.
I'm Mexican American I do not use those hair products . I actually use Shea Moisture and Carols Daughter. I have curly hair that was is damaged by heat from flat ironing. :/
I just wanted to politely add that Spanish people are indeed Latin people as well, not just Latin Americans.Spanish people are Latin because much of Spain was colonized by Rome whose people spoke the language Latin.When the Romans colonized Spain their Latin language blended with the native languages to create different sorts of Creoles or hybrid languages,one of which was Castilian Spanish which is the type of Spanish that most Latin American types of Spanish are descended from. Latin Americans are called Latin because many of them have Spanish blood, speak Spanish and live in societies that were culturally influenced by the culture of Spain or Portugal.Any European country that speaks a language derived from Latin is also considered Latin,such as France,Romania,and of course Italy,the birthplace of Latin culture.
Latin is a language, not a people. And even then Spanish may have Latin roots but so do other languages. I get what your trying to say Kat, but we are all one PEOPLE, one human race who are also biologically related to plants, animals, fungis. North Americans and South Americans are not Latinos or Hispanics, they are indigenous peoples. Latino and Hispanic are European colonizer terms used for all sorts of racist purposes
Thats what I was saying! lol And Tio de Nacho is more generally used for older men who need hair growth stimulation, my dad uses it, and it makes you more hairy all over, I was like please dont use that! lol 😂😂😂
“Our coworkers know nothing about latin culture idek why they’re called latina” this is kinda rude. Us latinas aren’t always born or raised around our culture to know anything about “latina hair products” and to suggest that because we’re latina we should know about this stuff is straight out rude. Im sure you probably didn’t mean it that way but as a latina women i take offense by that statement of yours (Dont get mad that i spoke my opinion btw)
Briana Gebell can you shut the fuck up? Literally nobody asked you to give me a whole fucking essay about MY culture. If your so upset about how i put my opinion out you can leave. I said it was rude because not all latinas are born around our cultures we aren’t always taught about this stuff. This isn’t any of ur business you aren’t even latina. If you were you wouldn’t be getting mad about me sticking up for my people when i see something wrong. So i suggest you to shut the fuck up and leave.
I'm Hispanic & white I have very curly hair especially when I diffuse it. I still use shea moisture products. just cause u may not be black & ur Latina or even white with curly hair doesn't mean u can't give it a shot at using african american hair care products. I personally think from my experience African American hair products works wonders for my hair.
Violeta Cardenas one of my good friends is white but has very thick curly hair and uses black hair care products cause the "regular shit" (her words) doesn't work for her hair.
BadGirl RiRi It all depends on texture and brand. Some light girls will use "black hair product brands" with products designed for wavy to curly hair. Just like not everyone has straight hair, not everyone has 4c. Plenty of ethnic backgrounds fall in between those two, and most black owned brands create better products for that divide than mainstream brands (which make money off of women who don't know how to treat their hair).
Cristina Rivera Torres I know shea moisture is shit. their products never dries its aways moist sticky and yucky, seriously I dont even think it works for Caucasian hair because white people hair needs to be dry so it dont feel weighed down or oily
I'm a black girl who just discovered mixed chic hair products make the curls POP!!! So I totally agree, shop for your hair based on your hair type and not your heritage. 💯
Erika Citlalli lol word the things that they pulled I am not familiar with 🤦🏽♀️. The ones to get is them deep conditioners! Get that Silicone , Crece pelo , and the one with Ajo lol
I wish you guys could re-do this video reviewing skala cosmeticos 🇧🇷, rizos curls🇲🇽, botanika beauty🇩🇴, and honey baby naturals🇵🇷. (All Latino owned brands)
I'm Latin American with a super curly hair texture, and grew up using products from a company called "Mirtas". It was a styling creme that was pretty popular when I was a kid. After I went natural I started using a Dominican conditioner called "crece pelo" which is really good for moisture and a bit of protein. A lot of Dominicans (amongst other latinas) have curly to kinky hair and create products specifically for those hair textures. It sucks that department stores have these tiny little Latin sections with very few products. The beauty supply stores in the "hood" I guess -_- ...have tons of Latin products and they're usually right by all the ethnic products because essentially we're all ethnic right? :-)
FINALLY! Someone else who knows about Mirta de Perales products! The small hood beauty supply stores along with major retailers around here no longer carry her products. My mom just opts to purchase them online now. :/ Most stores have shifted towards "natural" hair regimen lines driving out most other hair product lines in the process. The Mirta de Perales Hot Oil line is Castor Oil based and has been for years, and yet it somehow isn't marketed anymore? What appears to be in now are coconut oil, shea butter, argan oil and any number of other "natural" oils and butters. Mirtas even has a "natural" products line, but it hasn't gained much traction in that regard, because I suppose most Latinos see Mirtas as old fashioned and most Americans are unfamiliar with that line of products. Beyond the standard line, I highly recommend their Keratin line. It has worked really well for my mother when she used it.
I am African American and I love the silicon mix bamboo deep conditioner! I also have used the extreme wet look gel sold in the latina section at walmart here in ga.
I agree with the "instead of buying hair care products of your heritage you should buy hair care products for your type of hair texture, "comment. That's so true I'm Dominican and have type 4c hair and As a child I used a lot of Latina products like mane n tail, Affirm, silicone, garlic shampoo, etc And these products want do nothing for my hair now. At the same time when I was little before I started to relax my hair, I had a type 4a hair. Now as I went back to natural, my hair is 4c and these products don't have the moisture needed to maintain Afro textured hair. Which sucks because Hispanic people have a variety of different hair types and the products in the Latina hair care system doesn't really capture ALL of the hair types.
It's really hard to go natural as a Latina, mostly because straightening hair is like a routine. I started straightening my hair at the age of 4, yeah horrible I know, and I've been straightening my hair ever since. When I was younger, on rare occasions, I would leave my natural curly hair alone (my hair texture is a lot like Nikki's and I'm Dominican too). The products I would use would not be Latina hair products. I've used Cantu, Just For Me, and Shea Moisture. I guess the developers of the Latina products assume that all Latina hair is very easy to manage and my hair is definitely not. Thanks for reviewing these products. It was interesting to see another person's point of view
+Sarah Lopez I can relate. For a long time I wouldn't wear my hair curly. I used to think straight hair was better. But now I embrace my curly it took me years but now I feel very comfortable. Have you try 'No Shampoo" hair products?
I'm Puerto Rican and white, the Latina hair care section seems no different than regular hair care just in Spanish. Now my mom is Italian so my hair is curly but isn't afro-curly, and I find alot of Mexican women (my little sister is Mexican and Puerto Rican) have either straight or tameable curls. Mind you all Latinas are different and can have different hair types. & honestly haircuts are even dreadful because they wash your hair alot, and what they cut off when it's wet, is way more when dry. I definitely agree shop by what works for you and not your heritage.
I don't work currently, but I do keep up a license and I did/do hair for years so I needed to know as much as I can about all different types of hair. Our city is little but has a decent amount of diversity due to the airbase next to it, but not enough salons and barbershops that catered to the different types of hair. Even the curly haired Caucasian women had a hard time finding someone licensed to confidently do their hair. So I worked hard to educate myself for them all. I love that now I can cruise CZcams and internet reviews to easily and find out about new and older products! But I used to sit on the floor in the store and just read all of the bottles to find out about them, and ask my clients as many questions as I could many of them would even go to the store with me and tell me what they used. Please keep up the great & informational videos, I love this channel!
I'm latina with curly/wavy hair. I try to use shampoo's that are sulfate free when if I'm wearing my hair straight and I protect it with heat damage protection (treseme). But I usually wear my hair natural(curly/wavy) So I make sure my hair stays healthy by doing a hair mask(coconut oil, avocado, egg) once a week and washing my hair with "No Poo" products and cold water. Since Latinas is not a race I think it all depends about your hair texture. Not all Latinas have that Salma Hayek hair were a melting pot.
I'm Latina and I use the Mirta de Perales hair masque. IDK if it's a "latina product" but it's always advertised in our media. I've fine, 2b hair almost down to my waist and it works fine. I use a variety of products from LUSH to Shea Moisture (they have a line for fine, curly hair :D which makes me so happy because most curl products are geared towards thick hair ) to Garnier... but I do wish we had more "latina products" that embraced our hair diversity.
I do use Latina hair products but more specifically Dominican products. There are a wide variety of treatments, shampoos and conditioners that are now being made without sulfate and more natural ingredients. Also, because Dominican hair tends to need more moisture, it is also high in oils and vitamins. My favorite is Silicon Mix Moroccan Argan Oil. LOOOOVVVEE!!!!
I shop both by my hair type and my heritage. I am Dominican and Bahamian, having mainly 4a and b hair with a mixture of 3c. Most of my hair products like by treatments and leave in conditioners are Dominica products. I grew up with my Dominican mother who has used the products on my hair since day one and I love them and all of the benefits that come along with using them. All of the products are made of natural ingredients and I have found that these 'Latina' hair products work for many different hair types. They not only practice what they preach, but they are affordable and cater to the diversity of hair.
I shower my hair with that chile con Romero shampoo, It honestly works really great with my hair. I have thick long hair and it's helped thoroughly condition and strengthen my hair haha. I thought it was pretty stereotypical at first too but it's one of my fav products so far. Also your hair actually doesn't smell like Chile after using the product, it smells really nice and oddly enough I've gotten compliments on it😂
Im Latina and I have curly thick hair nothing like 4c hair but I always always go to the "black ethnic" hair section because they have products for my hair texture and its better quality. I think black women and Latinas have a lot in common and obviously Latinas can be black and black looking people can be Latina.
I'm Mexican. One of the first products I thought of that they sell in the USA is not what you might think. It's called Manzanilla and it's for blond-ish hair and it's meant to lighten hair. It's by Grisi and I think it was one of the first Latina products sold in the USA. You'd be surprised how light brown dark blond latinas there are out there.
I am half Mexican and half Puerto Rican. I curl type is mixed but majorly in the shape of a curly fry. I mainly use Shea moisture on my hair. I have used the Chile shampoo before and let me tell you...THAT MAKES YOUR HAIR GROW.
I'm Latina but I never gave much thought into Latina hair care products. Since my hair is naturally straight I don't do much to it. It's shampoo, condition or use hair gel to keep my baby hairs in place for a sleek ponytail or something. This video is pretty accurate.
I'm Puerto Rican and I have never used Latina products lol I use products according to ingredients and hair texture. I like more of a natural product for curly hair.
I know this probably isn't relevant anymore, but the pepper and rosemary shampoo is meant for thick black, straight or maybe wavy hair. The pepper helps with the growth of your hair and with the rosemary it doesn't fall off as much.
I’m Latina and I mainly just use black hair predicts because my hair is wavy-curly ranges from waves to ringlets lol it’s a mixture of a lot, very thick, and dry. I messed around and found out that the black hair products work really well, now of course I don’t use quite as many as y’all but it’s defiantly significantly more than someone with more Caucasian hair. I use like some Jamaican oil curl cream and some spray in scalp treatment plus conditioner. It’s helps a lot because my hair was straight then it got curly and I didn’t know what to do with it for a long time. It’s still getting curlier as I’m rather young. Latin American hair can very so much it’d be really difficult to pinpoint and make products from them, you got to remember we are all very much mixed race. There is a lot of Native American heritage (really thick course straight hair), from Spaniard heritage and then black heritage. Just about everyone’s mixed and for generations mixed people have been marrying mixed people so you can have one sibling who pops out with an Afro and then other has stick straight Native American hair. You never really know 🤷🏻♀️ I’ve seen it all lol.
I'm African American with naturally coily hair and YES I use "Latina Hair Products". I personally use Moco De Gorila snot gel. "Snot gel" initially through me off at first lol but I heard good reviews about it. It lays my hair down very well. Its stronger than ECO gel. It gets SUPER hard but it works lol. I want to try the LA BELLA GEL next. Matter fact, I use ALL TYPES including main stream (EUROPEAN PRODUCTS) as well. My hair can pretty much handle most products to be honest. I use which ever fits my budget lol.
I'm a Latina with 3a/3b hair. I always usually shop in the Ethnic/ African-American/ multicultural section because although there are a lot of latinx people with curly hair, they never embrace it. So I can only ever find a few products out there that satisfy my curly hair needs. There is however, a leave in conditioner for "Rizos/curls" by the brand of "Reviva" that I found in an international grocery store around my way. It's not really for those that are staying away from parabens and silicones, but whenever I'm feeling lazy I just put a bit in my hair and it does wonders.
Im Mexican and use hair wrap, leave in hair cream and a bit of hair oils to protect my natural curls. I also wear my wrap after a shower so it can air dry. And i get all this from the African Americans section too. I also use the latina hair products as well.
I'm puerto rican and dominican, I have 3b curly hair, I use whatever works best for my hair, right now I'm using carol's daughter. there's a lot Hispanic products in new York. we have all different types of texture hair, from straight, wavy, curly, coily. alot african American do buy dominican products. if you ever come new York, check out the beauty supply, you will see a large selection of Hispanic products.
For my curly to wavy Latina hair, I tend to use a lot of the products in the African American aisle. I live in downstate, IL, so there are not a lot of hair care products for my specific hair type, which is super dry, but not as curly as my Afro-Cuban sisters. What it seems to do for me is to make my hair nearly straight, but that is way better than curly-frizzy for me!
I'm not latina and I've always had curly hair and it wasn't until youtube that I was able to find out what to do with my hair. I mean I learned from the african american culture on youtube what to do with my hair because no one around me really had my hair type. being latina means having a really mixed culture not knowing, or possibly knowing, where your hair came from but not knowing what to do with it and it's a big struggle with no one around you that has that hair type.
I use a blend of many different lines geared toward different hair textures, but for the most part I use higher-end products due to a perm. A few to name Kiehl's, Moroccan Oil, Biolage (to name a few), but I also bought a Taliah Waajid product recently which I really like, the scent is heavenly and leaves my hair feeling soft and never sticky. I also bought a BGLH Marketplace product: shea butter and mango butter which helps to add that extra moisture if I ever need it. I just love quality products which is what I am alway on the hunt for.
Im Caribbean and Central American and have 3c curly hair. I use Shea Moisture. It's more about the texture and type of hair you have than your ethnic background.
I'm Latina with natural straight thick hair. I either use Pantene or Loreal products. I love them and if I want curls I just use my curling iron. But I ❤️ love my long straight hair.
i'm Latina and that Moco de Gorilla that you bought is actually pretty popular among men, now they don't use it that much in their hair, but is more of a reference to decribe the hold of something, if you wanted to brush all your hair upwards against gravity the Moco de Gorilla can do it, seriously, it's that strong. XD
I'm Latina with big long thick heavy curly hair. Since I was in elementary school my mom did mouse and hairspray on my curls. And I still do and I'm in my 30's. It works! I am and always have been curious in using African American products - I'd love to try something to add moisture to my hair! I wouldn't try the Latina products tho - a little scared of them lol
Growing up on the border (I'm half white and half Mexican but have 3c curls), my sister and I used the chile shampoo and the horse conditioner. Both are to promote hair growth! :) but I've never discovered curly hair products in the Latina section or in Mexico. I tend to gravitate towards the ethnic/multicultural section so that I can properly hydrate my curls 💁🏻
I'm white, with really dry, frizzy, course, ringlet curls, I tend to straighten my hair quite a bit just because of frizz. my mom has the same issues we get almost all of are stuff out of the "ethnic" sections because IT WORKS. ❤❤❤❤
My family has always just used natural products like coconut oil or avocado any regular shampoo. There isn't just one type of 'latina hair' so we all just use whatever works for us.
I am Mexican mixed with Colombian and I always go to the African-American ethnic aisle I use coconut oil , oil sheen pink hair moisturizer I also use some of the Latina hair products the leave-in conditioners and the shampoos
A lot of "latina" haircare products aren't very curly inclusive simply because back in the day, straight hair was good hair. A lot of the products are loaded up with silicone and are geared to help your hair look sleek and straight when flat ironing. Now with more latinas embracing their curls and breaking away from relaxers and other chemical straightening products, I identify latina hair care as products from latin owned businesses like Rizo's Curls.
Im mexican with straight hair and i use shea moisture. I love the way it makes my hair soft and it leaves my hair smelling wonderful the whole day. i really dont think they are trying to say that is for latinas but rather the conpany is latina
I'm latina and black and I never heard of "latina hair care products" I tend to use silicon mix or savital or the oyx products or black hair care products because what works is different for every one
First of all , There is NO such thing as "Latina Hair" , because the hair on a Latina's head varies greatly from dead straight to a kinky curly afro !! Latinos/Latinas (especially those of us of Puerto Rican descent) are a beautiful mix of Spainard ( As well as other european nationalities ) , West African and Taino Indian .... So we come in ALL skin , hair and eye colors !!!
4c African American and Silicon Mix is my everything! Whenever I'm feeling super dry or am in need of good slippage for detangling after taking out a protective style, Silicon is there for me like a super hero!
The chile shampoo is to stimulate hair growth. Moco de gorilla is a very strong hold gel. Very little latina products are for curly hair, the rest is for specific hair types, fine, thick, for growth, etc..
That point is totally true about the same parents and different hair types! My two sisters are very very different in hair like one has 3b curls while the other has 3c,4a
They are latina hair companies catering to latinas so it is technically for latina hair. It just goes to show how even latina companies don’t recognize different textures and such. It just enhances our aversion as a hispanic society to embrace our own diversity
I'm "Latina" and the only hair product I use is I wash my hair in the morning with herbal essences shampoo (the red one that is pomegranate scented just because I like the smell) that's it because my hair is oily and any other shampoo just feels weird and I've always gotten compliments on my long straight black hair (my nickname used to be Pocahontas lol) and I get asked what I do to keep my hair that way all the time but that's just how it's always been. Also Jalapeño scented shampoos have always been popular in Mexico also don't use the ones that say manzanita or manzanilla that lightens your hair and turns you hair's tips a yellow color. It's popular in Mexico for some reason it turns babies' hair a light brown color.
when i was in highschool i used La Bella Placenta Shampoo and La Bella Horse shampoo. Also Cabellina Shampoo my hair dried fast a frizz free. It it was dry i would through a bit a leave in .i can say my hair was most manageable then. it was very shiny and defined and volumious .
I'm Puerto Rican with THICK wavy hair that is extremely heat and bleach damaged so I'll use pretty much any hair products but pack on conditioner. My mom and sister both have very curly fluffy hair but even they don't really use "ethnic" products (though they probably should)
As a Latina, the only reason I would use a "latina product" is because it would be a brand I already know, trust and grew up using so I would know what to expect, not because is Latino. It's all about the hair needs, not the ethnicity.
I'm white with a little bit of Jewish and I use exclusively ethnic hair products because my hair is just super frizzy, thick, coarse and curly (in some spots)
Mexican german here... Growing up in Mexico we used vanart products, they were cheap! And we had Bella brand which left your hair smelling so good! For taking care of our hair... Mine is a combo of really thick and baby fine, not straight but kinky hair😒... We used homemade stuff like olive oil and wraped it, we used mayonisse!!😛 smelled aweful! Vinegar! Avocados you get the picture! 😂 Now I use anything that's super hydrating and go with it.
I'm Mexican mixed with a little Salvadorian. My hair is thick, and a little curly/wavy. My go-to gel hair products are Moco de gorilla or Eco styling gel. They both work well for me. For a moisturizer I use Garnier Fructis' curl nourishing butter cream.
These products aren't specifically made for "latina hair." They are made by Latin companies or in mexico. Most of these products are hair gel or shampoo. Latina hair can vary from perfectly straight hair to afro tight curls. I personally have long tight curls. I'm latina and I have never used any of those products that are supposedly for "latina hair." The multi cultural section works for me and I find that I use a lot of hair butters. All I'm saying is yes, these products do come from Spanish companies, but that does not mean they work for all latina hair or that all Latinas use these products.
I've always lived in a Dominican neighborhood being that I'm Dominican so I don't know any of the brands they showed in this video. I have curly hair and I can go around to any beauty supply store where I live and find tons of products. Everything here is mixed so it's not like there's a specific section for ethnic or Latina hair. It's based on price. But as a Dominican woman I know that we have deep conditioners, shampoos, conditioners, gels, and more specifically for curly hair.
im a latino male with medium lemth hair, down to my chin. I didnt know i had wavy 2b type hair till i was 16/17 growing up i went to catholic school my hair to be short and my das brushes it straight alot. For guys the expectation is combed with brush back short hair styles that are businessy. I would say for puerto ricans the only hair producta that i reaally know that are used often by puerto ricans is moco se gorilla gel, and garnier fructus hair products like conditioners and shampoos. for reference i have thick hair that is heavy and gets frizzy, which is only apparent in like some puerto ricans for their type of hair
I’m just started getting to know how to take care of my curly hair, but I definitely don’t use those products, at the moment I just use a store brand organic shampoo and conditioner and that’s it
I'm Black but I guess also Afro-Latina (1/2 African American, 1/2 Panamanian) with incredibly coily afro-textured hair. When I think of latina hair products, I get images of garlic shampoo, la bomba deep treatment and diez en uno super conditioner, lol.
I'm a latina and tbh if it weren't for the curly hair movement and community showing how to take care of curly hair I would have a perm by now because I hated my hair. I use some of the shampoos that are in the latino section like Grisi- negro (which kept my hair super dark) and another that I forgot that name of. Other than that I tend to use other products meant for my hair texture. Being fully Mexican (which honestly means I can be mixed with anything at this point) it sucks not to see things for my hair in my community that often. :/ I stand out a lot sometimes...
I'm Puerto Rican and European. So my hair is interesting, the top is more wavy meanwhile the middle is loose curls and the bottom are tighter curls, it's very hard to know what type of hair products to use.
No "latina" products have worked for me my hair is naturally curly its thin but still curls OK and I love using pink oil when I straighten my hair, any products from cantu curl activator to kinky curls have left my hair super fab and I love the big hair curls style so y'all products work for me and um sticking to them💕😊
Usually just use what works best for hair type or how bad the damage the hair is. My hair if fine but I have a lot of it. I also have a curl to my hair.
I have used the gorilla snot gel. Literally a little goes a long way. I only use a micro amount on my edges due to the product is so thick and sticky. I haven't attempted to use it any other way.
I'm Latina and I always go to the Ethnic/African-American/Multicultural aisle mainly because I have thick 3b/3c curly hair, so I'm choosing products specifically for my type of hair, and I think Latina covers such a broad range of hair textures, there's so much diversity that there's no such thing as stereotypical Latina hair. Because you can be Latina and have thin,fine straight hair to big voluptuous waves to big kinky curly hair..
lemony jazmin I get you
me to but because I'm Malty race and have different hair type 3a, 3b, 2a,2b and straight I'm Latina black white jamacin native amrican and irsh also rushin
lemony jazmin me too
lemony jazmin same
lemony jazmin I'm Puerto Rican, Native American, African, Italian, and German with type 3b hair. I agree completely. Fixing my hair would give you whole new appreciation for the hair you already have.
Im Puerto Rican and i use black hair care products lol
LBPGURL 23 because of that Afro blood.
Sameeee
My mom has to use those hair products, too, because of her hair.
Same
Puerto Ricanz are part black
smh they're not "latina hair products" because they're for "latina hair" they're just made by latin companies.
Lizinda agree
Lizinda true lol
Lizinda exactly!!
Lizinda hahaha right!!
Lizinda exactly
I am Latina and I tend to go more for the African American products for my hair since it's curly.
I'm mix with Mexican and black. I use the black products cause they work a lot better for me. I agree you should use products based on your hair type rather than your heritage.
Adrian Johnson Mexican isn't a race
Neither is Hispanic
Natasha Bartley but clearly we know what she meant lol. She's not black, white or Asian. It's easier to say mexican
Adrian Johnson Mexican is a nationality, so you can't be half black and half mexican
+King's “Black” Queen so yall want her to say she half white/native and half black? stop telling other groups of ppl what their race is lol. Mexicans are nor black I can tell you that much.
I'm Latina (Puerto Rican) and I've never heard of Latina hair products. It seems kind of silly. My hair and my sisters hair are completely different textures. my oldest sister has straight/wavy hair. the second oldest has tight curls. the third oldest has wavy. I have thick and looser curls. the youngest has 4b type hair. We just buy products for our hair type. 3/5 of us use African or natural hair care products and the other two go for the "general" products (Pantene, tresemmé, Dove.)
It's that mixed race tho lol
I'm Latino (salvadorian) and me and my brother have very different hair, he has wavy hair meanwhile I have very curly hair(3A in the front 3C/3B in the back), curly hair is actually not very common in El Salvador, most of us have very thick wavy or straight black hair, but I got the curly hair because of my mom. I think that hispanic hair is so diverse even within the same family because we are usually mixed, most salvadorians being half native american half southern european
You never came across Mirta de Perales products while growing up in a PR household? I thought that was a standard along with Dominican hair care products.
I never heard of it either!
Same
I'm from Ecuador we just shopped for what we need my hair is a mix of wavy and curly some strands are wavy some are curly
I LOVE LA BELLA GEL FOR CURLS! As a Latina, I don't think that "Latina hair care products" are for "Latina hair" necessarily because they aren't any different. It's more of a "blast from the past" so that when 1st to 2nd generation Latino consumers see these products, they will feel compelled to buy them because they remember using them back in the day (given that their experience with the product is a positive one). I loved that ya'll did a video on this topic! Way to go!
+Genesis Galva Awesome insight Genesis! Yes - we discovered that's it's more about the name brand than the actual "hair type" of the product. That Cabellina was definitely old school! lol Thanks so much for the comment ^__^

The Twist by NaturallyCurly.com so you gunna talk about how racist this video is?
Isn't "Latina hair" all different bc they're a black, white, brown, mixed race latinos so what's the point of having a shelf just for latinos like the ones with Afro decent can use black products and people with straight hair use the "normal/white" products
Yes, Latino is not a race, is WHERE are you from! Really third part of my country population is white, the other third is mixed and the third part is black and indigenous. Saying Latinos are a race is invisibilize that we have a lot of ethnic groups in our territory
Guuurl wtf is "latina hair products" ? I am puerto rican ( I'm very lightskin and ambiguous, and of african descent, I self ID as black in terms of the diaspora) and my family has always gone straight to the black hair care aisle because everyone in my immediate family except for my dad has thick big afro centric hair in the it is all a mix of 3b- 4c textures/ curl patterns, because , like ,we black... duh lol. I have never in my entire life heard of or seen a latina hair product aisle in my entire life n I live in central florida. This is crazy to me, I am truly gagged. lol
You live in Florida and never came across Mirta de Perales hair care products which run the gamut for practically every texture hair in a Latino household?
I'm of Puerto Rican descent with family members that run from 1As to 4Cs.
I'm Mexican American I do not use those hair products . I actually use Shea Moisture and Carols Daughter. I have curly hair that was is damaged by heat from flat ironing. :/
Latin America encompasses ALL of the Americas. North, Central AND South. It is not exclusive to South America. Signed, a Cubana and proud Latina.
I just wanted to politely add that Spanish people are indeed Latin people as well, not just Latin Americans.Spanish people are Latin because much of Spain was colonized by Rome whose people spoke the language Latin.When the Romans colonized Spain their Latin language blended with the native languages to create different sorts of Creoles or hybrid languages,one of which was Castilian Spanish which is the type of Spanish that most Latin American types of Spanish are descended from. Latin Americans are called Latin because many of them have Spanish blood, speak Spanish and live in societies that were culturally influenced by the culture of Spain or Portugal.Any European country that speaks a language derived from Latin is also considered Latin,such as France,Romania,and of course Italy,the birthplace of Latin culture.
Latin is a language, not a people.
And even then Spanish may have Latin roots but so do other languages. I get what your trying to say Kat, but we are all one PEOPLE, one human race who are also biologically related to plants, animals, fungis.
North Americans and South Americans are not Latinos or Hispanics, they are indigenous peoples. Latino and Hispanic are European colonizer terms used for all sorts of racist purposes
I'm Mexican and from what I know.. the shampoo with like the peppers and stuff is to make your hair grow faster.
Angelica Zapata and strengthen it
Oh yeah! That too 😀
Thats what I was saying! lol And Tio de Nacho is more generally used for older men who need hair growth stimulation, my dad uses it, and it makes you more hairy all over, I was like please dont use that! lol 😂😂😂
those arent made for latina hair, they are just made by latinas and are from like Mexico.
Poop Poo exactly. Latinx doesn't just mean Mexican
Nicole Diaz what is "latinx"?
X L V N X Basically calling yourself Latino/a without the gender pronouns (gender neutral)
Maddy North isn't "Latino" also gender neutral though? I don't get why another one is needed?
X L V N X Because according to Tumblr we need one lol
“Our coworkers know nothing about latin culture idek why they’re called latina” this is kinda rude. Us latinas aren’t always born or raised around our culture to know anything about “latina hair products” and to suggest that because we’re latina we should know about this stuff is straight out rude. Im sure you probably didn’t mean it that way but as a latina women i take offense by that statement of yours (Dont get mad that i spoke my opinion btw)
They were being racist.
killagangsta713 yeah
I thoroughly agree
Briana Gebell can you shut the fuck up? Literally nobody asked you to give me a whole fucking essay about MY culture. If your so upset about how i put my opinion out you can leave. I said it was rude because not all latinas are born around our cultures we aren’t always taught about this stuff. This isn’t any of ur business you aren’t even latina. If you were you wouldn’t be getting mad about me sticking up for my people when i see something wrong. So i suggest you to shut the fuck up and leave.
I agree. Not every latina is raised around that and that's okay. I've had people attack me because I wasn't raised to speak spanish or anything....
you have to go to a latina beauty supply store to find the good latina products.
I'm Hispanic & white I have very curly hair especially when I diffuse it. I still use shea moisture products. just cause u may not be black & ur Latina or even white with curly hair doesn't mean u can't give it a shot at using african american hair care products. I personally think from my experience African American hair products works wonders for my hair.
Violeta Cardenas one of my good friends is white but has very thick curly hair and uses black hair care products cause the "regular shit" (her words) doesn't work for her hair.
what do you even mean? most black hair product brands dont work for different hair
BadGirl RiRi It all depends on texture and brand. Some light girls will use "black hair product brands" with products designed for wavy to curly hair. Just like not everyone has straight hair, not everyone has 4c. Plenty of ethnic backgrounds fall in between those two, and most black owned brands create better products for that divide than mainstream brands (which make money off of women who don't know how to treat their hair).
Cristina Rivera Torres I know shea moisture is shit. their products never dries its aways moist sticky and yucky, seriously I dont even think it works for Caucasian hair because white people hair needs to be dry so it dont feel weighed down or oily
Violeta Cardenas Hispanic isn't a race wtf
I'm a black girl who just discovered mixed chic hair products make the curls POP!!! So I totally agree, shop for your hair based on your hair type and not your heritage. 💯
you guys should have checked out dominican hair care products
Erika Citlalli lol word the things that they pulled I am not familiar with 🤦🏽♀️. The ones to get is them deep conditioners! Get that Silicone , Crece pelo , and the one with Ajo lol
Exactly!!! 😂
Domincan hair products usually kill your curls.
Dominican deep conditioners are bae! 😍
Afro love leave in smoothie is better than Shea moisture and Dominican made. Excellent 👌🏽
I wish you guys could re-do this video reviewing skala cosmeticos 🇧🇷, rizos curls🇲🇽, botanika beauty🇩🇴, and honey baby naturals🇵🇷. (All Latino owned brands)
I'm Latin American with a super curly hair texture, and grew up using products from a company called "Mirtas". It was a styling creme that was pretty popular when I was a kid. After I went natural I started using a Dominican conditioner called "crece pelo" which is really good for moisture and a bit of protein. A lot of Dominicans (amongst other latinas) have curly to kinky hair and create products specifically for those hair textures.
It sucks that department stores have these tiny little Latin sections with very few products. The beauty supply stores in the "hood" I guess -_- ...have tons of Latin products and they're usually right by all the ethnic products because essentially we're all ethnic right? :-)
FINALLY!
Someone else who knows about Mirta de Perales products!
The small hood beauty supply stores along with major retailers around here no longer carry her products. My mom just opts to purchase them online now. :/
Most stores have shifted towards "natural" hair regimen lines driving out most other hair product lines in the process. The Mirta de Perales Hot Oil line is Castor Oil based and has been for years, and yet it somehow isn't marketed anymore? What appears to be in now are coconut oil, shea butter, argan oil and any number of other "natural" oils and butters. Mirtas even has a "natural" products line, but it hasn't gained much traction in that regard, because I suppose most Latinos see Mirtas as old fashioned and most Americans are unfamiliar with that line of products.
Beyond the standard line, I highly recommend their Keratin line. It has worked really well for my mother when she used it.
The chile shampoo does wonders, that's why it's so expensive
I am African American and I love the silicon mix bamboo deep conditioner! I also have used the extreme wet look gel sold in the latina section at walmart here in ga.
i use what i like if it smells good and its what im looking for it going in the basket
I agree with the "instead of buying hair care products of your heritage you should buy hair care products for your type of hair texture, "comment. That's so true I'm Dominican and have type 4c hair and As a child I used a lot of Latina products like mane n tail, Affirm, silicone, garlic shampoo, etc And these products want do nothing for my hair now. At the same time when I was little before I started to relax my hair, I had a type 4a hair. Now as I went back to natural, my hair is 4c and these products don't have the moisture needed to maintain Afro textured hair. Which sucks because Hispanic people have a variety of different hair types and the products in the Latina hair care system doesn't really capture ALL of the hair types.
It's really hard to go natural as a Latina, mostly because straightening hair is like a routine. I started straightening my hair at the age of 4, yeah horrible I know, and I've been straightening my hair ever since. When I was younger, on rare occasions, I would leave my natural curly hair alone (my hair texture is a lot like Nikki's and I'm Dominican too). The products I would use would not be Latina hair products. I've used Cantu, Just For Me, and Shea Moisture. I guess the developers of the Latina products assume that all Latina hair is very easy to manage and my hair is definitely not. Thanks for reviewing these products. It was interesting to see another person's point of view
+Sarah Lopez I can relate. For a long time I wouldn't wear my hair curly. I used to think straight hair was better. But now I embrace my curly it took me years but now I feel very comfortable. Have you try 'No Shampoo" hair products?
you should try crece pelo deep conditioner and silicon mix products u could find them at a beauty supply store
TheInfamousBrii crece peso deep conditioner is my holy grail!
I'm Puerto Rican and white, the Latina hair care section seems no different than regular hair care just in Spanish. Now my mom is Italian so my hair is curly but isn't afro-curly, and I find alot of Mexican women (my little sister is Mexican and Puerto Rican) have either straight or tameable curls. Mind you all Latinas are different and can have different hair types. & honestly haircuts are even dreadful because they wash your hair alot, and what they cut off when it's wet, is way more when dry. I definitely agree shop by what works for you and not your heritage.
Emma Jimenez Puerto Rican isn't a race neither is Caucasian maybe your just white
puerto rican isnt a race neither is caucasian???
maybe your just white?? first offf, ur not puerto rican, i suggest u sit down and shut up
ll Diavolo Puerto Ricans can be European, African, Taino(pure Tainos are not present) ; usually they are a mixture of these three
I don't work currently, but I do keep up a license and I did/do hair for years so I needed to know as much as I can about all different types of hair. Our city is little but has a decent amount of diversity due to the airbase next to it, but not enough salons and barbershops that catered to the different types of hair. Even the curly haired Caucasian women had a hard time finding someone licensed to confidently do their hair. So I worked hard to educate myself for them all. I love that now I can cruise CZcams and internet reviews to easily and find out about new and older products! But I used to sit on the floor in the store and just read all of the bottles to find out about them, and ask my clients as many questions as I could many of them would even go to the store with me and tell me what they used. Please keep up the great & informational videos, I love this channel!
I'm latina with curly/wavy hair. I try to use shampoo's that are sulfate free when if I'm wearing my hair straight and I protect it with heat damage protection (treseme). But I usually wear my hair natural(curly/wavy) So I make sure my hair stays healthy by doing a hair mask(coconut oil, avocado, egg) once a week and washing my hair with "No Poo" products and cold water. Since Latinas is not a race I think it all depends about your hair texture. Not all Latinas have that Salma Hayek hair were a melting pot.
I'm Latina and I use the Mirta de Perales hair masque. IDK if it's a "latina product" but it's always advertised in our media.
I've fine, 2b hair almost down to my waist and it works fine. I use a variety of products from LUSH to Shea Moisture (they have a line for fine, curly hair :D which makes me so happy because most curl products are geared towards thick hair ) to Garnier... but I do wish we had more "latina products" that embraced our hair diversity.
I do use Latina hair products but more specifically Dominican products. There are a wide variety of treatments, shampoos and conditioners that are now being made without sulfate and more natural ingredients. Also, because Dominican hair tends to need more moisture, it is also high in oils and vitamins. My favorite is Silicon Mix Moroccan Argan Oil. LOOOOVVVEE!!!!
I shop both by my hair type and my heritage. I am Dominican and Bahamian, having mainly 4a and b hair with a mixture of 3c. Most of my hair products like by treatments and leave in conditioners are Dominica products. I grew up with my Dominican mother who has used the products on my hair since day one and I love them and all of the benefits that come along with using them. All of the products are made of natural ingredients and I have found that these 'Latina' hair products work for many different hair types. They not only practice what they preach, but they are affordable and cater to the diversity of hair.
I shower my hair with that chile con Romero shampoo, It honestly works really great with my hair. I have thick long hair and it's helped thoroughly condition and strengthen my hair haha. I thought it was pretty stereotypical at first too but it's one of my fav products so far. Also your hair actually doesn't smell like Chile after using the product, it smells really nice and oddly enough I've gotten compliments on it😂
i use mostly dominican, colombian, or Brazilian products for my 3b 3c hair. Latina products elsewhere are often not geared towards curly hair.
Im Latina and I have curly thick hair nothing like 4c hair but I always always go to the "black ethnic" hair section because they have products for my hair texture and its better quality. I think black women and Latinas have a lot in common and obviously Latinas can be black and black looking people can be Latina.
I'm Mexican. One of the first products I thought of that they sell in the USA is not what you might think. It's called Manzanilla and it's for blond-ish hair and it's meant to lighten hair. It's by Grisi and I think it was one of the first Latina products sold in the USA. You'd be surprised how light brown dark blond latinas there are out there.
I am half Mexican and half Puerto Rican. I curl type is mixed but majorly in the shape of a curly fry. I mainly use Shea moisture on my hair. I have used the Chile shampoo before and let me tell you...THAT MAKES YOUR HAIR GROW.
I'm Latina but I never gave much thought into Latina hair care products. Since my hair is naturally straight I don't do much to it. It's shampoo, condition or use hair gel to keep my baby hairs in place for a sleek ponytail or something. This video is pretty accurate.
they’re at H-E-B, lmaoo. *i know bc in a fellow texan ahaaa*
I'm Puerto Rican and I have never used Latina products lol I use products according to ingredients and hair texture. I like more of a natural product for curly hair.
I know this probably isn't relevant anymore, but the pepper and rosemary shampoo is meant for thick black, straight or maybe wavy hair. The pepper helps with the growth of your hair and with the rosemary it doesn't fall off as much.
I’m Latina and I mainly just use black hair predicts because my hair is wavy-curly ranges from waves to ringlets lol it’s a mixture of a lot, very thick, and dry. I messed around and found out that the black hair products work really well, now of course I don’t use quite as many as y’all but it’s defiantly significantly more than someone with more Caucasian hair. I use like some Jamaican oil curl cream and some spray in scalp treatment plus conditioner. It’s helps a lot because my hair was straight then it got curly and I didn’t know what to do with it for a long time. It’s still getting curlier as I’m rather young. Latin American hair can very so much it’d be really difficult to pinpoint and make products from them, you got to remember we are all very much mixed race. There is a lot of Native American heritage (really thick course straight hair), from Spaniard heritage and then black heritage. Just about everyone’s mixed and for generations mixed people have been marrying mixed people so you can have one sibling who pops out with an Afro and then other has stick straight Native American hair. You never really know 🤷🏻♀️ I’ve seen it all lol.
I'm African American with naturally coily hair and YES I use "Latina Hair Products". I personally use Moco De Gorila snot gel. "Snot gel" initially through me off at first lol but I heard good reviews about it. It lays my hair down very well. Its stronger than ECO gel. It gets SUPER hard but it works lol. I want to try the LA BELLA GEL next. Matter fact, I use ALL TYPES including main stream (EUROPEAN PRODUCTS) as well. My hair can pretty much handle most products to be honest. I use which ever fits my budget lol.
I'm a Latina with 3a/3b hair. I always usually shop in the Ethnic/ African-American/ multicultural section because although there are a lot of latinx people with curly hair, they never embrace it. So I can only ever find a few products out there that satisfy my curly hair needs. There is however, a leave in conditioner for "Rizos/curls" by the brand of "Reviva" that I found in an international grocery store around my way. It's not really for those that are staying away from parabens and silicones, but whenever I'm feeling lazy I just put a bit in my hair and it does wonders.
Im Mexican and use hair wrap, leave in hair cream and a bit of hair oils to protect my natural curls. I also wear my wrap after a shower so it can air dry. And i get all this from the African Americans section too. I also use the latina hair products as well.
I'm puerto rican and dominican, I have 3b curly hair, I use whatever works best for my hair, right now I'm using carol's daughter. there's a lot Hispanic products in new York. we have all different types of texture hair, from straight, wavy, curly, coily. alot african American do buy dominican products. if you ever come new York, check out the beauty supply, you will see a large selection of Hispanic products.
For my curly to wavy Latina hair, I tend to use a lot of the products in the African American aisle. I live in downstate, IL, so there are not a lot of hair care products for my specific hair type, which is super dry, but not as curly as my Afro-Cuban sisters. What it seems to do for me is to make my hair nearly straight, but that is way better than curly-frizzy for me!
I'm not latina and I've always had curly hair and it wasn't until youtube that I was able to find out what to do with my hair. I mean I learned from the african american culture on youtube what to do with my hair because no one around me really had my hair type. being latina means having a really mixed culture not knowing, or possibly knowing, where your hair came from but not knowing what to do with it and it's a big struggle with no one around you that has that hair type.
I have snot gel for my edges and I'm black
I use a blend of many different lines geared toward different hair textures, but for the most part I use higher-end products due to a perm. A few to name Kiehl's, Moroccan Oil, Biolage (to name a few), but I also bought a Taliah Waajid product recently which I really like, the scent is heavenly and leaves my hair feeling soft and never sticky. I also bought a BGLH Marketplace product: shea butter and mango butter which helps to add that extra moisture if I ever need it. I just love quality products which is what I am alway on the hunt for.
Im Caribbean and Central American and have 3c curly hair. I use Shea Moisture. It's more about the texture and type of hair you have than your ethnic background.
I'm Latina with natural straight thick hair. I either use Pantene or Loreal products. I love them and if I want curls I just use my curling iron. But I ❤️ love my long straight hair.
African American hair care is really good for Latina hair because it is so nourishing. I love it because it makes my hair silky and thicker.
i'm Latina and that Moco de Gorilla that you bought is actually pretty popular among men, now they don't use it that much in their hair, but is more of a reference to decribe the hold of something, if you wanted to brush all your hair upwards against gravity the Moco de Gorilla can do it, seriously, it's that strong. XD
I'm Latina with big long thick heavy curly hair. Since I was in elementary school my mom did mouse and hairspray on my curls. And I still do and I'm in my 30's. It works! I am and always have been curious in using African American products - I'd love to try something to add moisture to my hair! I wouldn't try the Latina products tho - a little scared of them lol
Growing up on the border (I'm half white and half Mexican but have 3c curls), my sister and I used the chile shampoo and the horse conditioner. Both are to promote hair growth! :) but I've never discovered curly hair products in the Latina section or in Mexico. I tend to gravitate towards the ethnic/multicultural section so that I can properly hydrate my curls 💁🏻
I'm white, with really dry, frizzy, course, ringlet curls, I tend to straighten my hair quite a bit just because of frizz. my mom has the same issues we get almost all of are stuff out of the "ethnic" sections because IT WORKS. ❤❤❤❤
I am of Latina and Native American descent, I have wavy hair and some curls. I use the Sheamoisture products.
I feel so disrespected after watching this 😩🤦🏻♀️
My family has always just used natural products like coconut oil or avocado any regular shampoo. There isn't just one type of 'latina hair' so we all just use whatever works for us.
I am Mexican mixed with Colombian and I always go to the African-American ethnic aisle I use coconut oil , oil sheen pink hair moisturizer I also use some of the Latina hair products the leave-in conditioners and the shampoos
I'm Latina and I have between 2a- 2b curls that were extremely damaged from bleaching. So I'm using Shea Moisture to try to get my curls back
I'm black mixed with Hispanic Dominican so my hair it's curly thick and I got tight curls the struggle is real
A lot of "latina" haircare products aren't very curly inclusive simply because back in the day, straight hair was good hair. A lot of the products are loaded up with silicone and are geared to help your hair look sleek and straight when flat ironing. Now with more latinas embracing their curls and breaking away from relaxers and other chemical straightening products, I identify latina hair care as products from latin owned businesses like Rizo's Curls.
Im mexican with straight hair and i use shea moisture. I love the way it makes my hair soft and it leaves my hair smelling wonderful the whole day.
i really dont think they are trying to say that is for latinas but rather the conpany is latina
I'm latina and black and I never heard of "latina hair care products" I tend to use silicon mix or savital or the oyx products or black hair care products because what works is different for every one
I'm Puerto Rican and use whatever works for my hair I'm also Peruvian and African so I have a weird mix
First of all , There is NO such thing as "Latina Hair" , because the hair on a Latina's head varies greatly from dead straight to a kinky curly afro !! Latinos/Latinas (especially those of us of Puerto Rican descent) are a beautiful mix of Spainard ( As well as other european nationalities ) , West African and Taino Indian .... So we come in ALL skin , hair and eye colors !!!
4c African American and Silicon Mix is my everything! Whenever I'm feeling super dry or am in need of good slippage for detangling after taking out a protective style, Silicon is there for me like a super hero!
P.s. The peppers are supposed to create blood flow to the hair and promote growth . Whether that actually works or not idk....
When I was a child my mom used Tio Nacho. Its for growth, but it isnt made the same anymore. It was a brown bar of soap.
The chile shampoo is to stimulate hair growth. Moco de gorilla is a very strong hold gel. Very little latina products are for curly hair, the rest is for specific hair types, fine, thick, for growth, etc..
I'm Latina, and I have curly hair and I have never used Latina hair products lol. But I will have to try the multicultural/ethnic products sometime!
That point is totally true about the same parents and different hair types! My two sisters are very very different in hair like one has 3b curls while the other has 3c,4a
I'm Latina but I use ethnic hair products
They are latina hair companies catering to latinas so it is technically for latina hair. It just goes to show how even latina companies don’t recognize different textures and such. It just enhances our aversion as a hispanic society to embrace our own diversity
I'm "Latina" and the only hair product I use is I wash my hair in the morning with herbal essences shampoo (the red one that is pomegranate scented just because I like the smell) that's it because my hair is oily and any other shampoo just feels weird and I've always gotten compliments on my long straight black hair (my nickname used to be Pocahontas lol) and I get asked what I do to keep my hair that way all the time but that's just how it's always been. Also Jalapeño scented shampoos have always been popular in Mexico also don't use the ones that say manzanita or manzanilla that lightens your hair and turns you hair's tips a yellow color. It's popular in Mexico for some reason it turns babies' hair a light brown color.
when i was in highschool i used La Bella Placenta Shampoo and La Bella Horse shampoo. Also Cabellina Shampoo my hair dried fast a frizz free. It it was dry i would through a bit a leave in .i can say my hair was most manageable then. it was very shiny and defined and volumious .
I'm Native American, Dominican, and Black but I still have trouble finding good hair products for my curls.
I'm Puerto Rican with THICK wavy hair that is extremely heat and bleach damaged so I'll use pretty much any hair products but pack on conditioner. My mom and sister both have very curly fluffy hair but even they don't really use "ethnic" products (though they probably should)
As a Latina, the only reason I would use a "latina product" is because it would be a brand I already know, trust and grew up using so I would know what to expect, not because is Latino. It's all about the hair needs, not the ethnicity.
I'm white with a little bit of Jewish and I use exclusively ethnic hair products because my hair is just super frizzy, thick, coarse and curly (in some spots)
Mexican german here... Growing up in Mexico we used vanart products, they were cheap! And we had Bella brand which left your hair smelling so good! For taking care of our hair... Mine is a combo of really thick and baby fine, not straight but kinky hair😒... We used homemade stuff like olive oil and wraped it, we used mayonisse!!😛 smelled aweful! Vinegar! Avocados you get the picture! 😂 Now I use anything that's super hydrating and go with it.
I am Puerto Rican and biracial, all my life I’ve used the African American products. I have really curly thick hair. (3b but a little bit tighter)
I’m Puerto Rican and I’ve never heard of this lol I use shea moisture, deva curls, anything that’s good for curly hair that won’t kill it
I'm Mexican mixed with a little Salvadorian. My hair is thick, and a little curly/wavy. My go-to gel hair products are Moco de gorilla or Eco styling gel. They both work well for me. For a moisturizer I use Garnier Fructis' curl nourishing butter cream.
I am Mexican🇲🇽Puerto Rican 🇵🇷and black I do use Latina products for my natural hair you just have to test everything out what works for your hair
Not at all I’m mexican and I have 3c to 4a hair and I only use cantu and eco style gel🤷🏽♀️
Stop lying
School Shooter why would I lie lol🤣🤣?
Lmao liar
These products aren't specifically made for "latina hair." They are made by Latin companies or in mexico. Most of these products are hair gel or shampoo. Latina hair can vary from perfectly straight hair to afro tight curls. I personally have long tight curls. I'm latina and I have never used any of those products that are supposedly for "latina hair." The multi cultural section works for me and I find that I use a lot of hair butters. All I'm saying is yes, these products do come from Spanish companies, but that does not mean they work for all latina hair or that all Latinas use these products.
I've always lived in a Dominican neighborhood being that I'm Dominican so I don't know any of the brands they showed in this video. I have curly hair and I can go around to any beauty supply store where I live and find tons of products. Everything here is mixed so it's not like there's a specific section for ethnic or Latina hair. It's based on price. But as a Dominican woman I know that we have deep conditioners, shampoos, conditioners, gels, and more specifically for curly hair.
Puertorican here and using black hair products too🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😂
I have a combination of 3c/4c and I use both ethnic products and "latina products" I use the Silicon line which is known to be a Dominican product
Dude, I'm from rural Ohio, and we don't even HAVE an ethnic hair care aisle. As someone with 4c curly hair, it is an eternal struggle.
im a latino male with medium lemth hair, down to my chin. I didnt know i had wavy 2b type hair till i was 16/17 growing up i went to catholic school my hair to be short and my das brushes it straight alot. For guys the expectation is combed with brush back short hair styles that are businessy. I would say for puerto ricans the only hair producta that i reaally know that are used often by puerto ricans is moco se gorilla gel, and garnier fructus hair products like conditioners and shampoos. for reference i have thick hair that is heavy and gets frizzy, which is only apparent in like some puerto ricans for their type of hair
I’m just started getting to know how to take care of my curly hair, but I definitely don’t use those products, at the moment I just use a store brand organic shampoo and conditioner and that’s it
I'm Black but I guess also Afro-Latina (1/2 African American, 1/2 Panamanian) with incredibly coily afro-textured hair. When I think of latina hair products, I get images of garlic shampoo, la bomba deep treatment and diez en uno super conditioner, lol.
I'm a latina and tbh if it weren't for the curly hair movement and community showing how to take care of curly hair I would have a perm by now because I hated my hair. I use some of the shampoos that are in the latino section like Grisi- negro (which kept my hair super dark) and another that I forgot that name of. Other than that I tend to use other products meant for my hair texture. Being fully Mexican (which honestly means I can be mixed with anything at this point) it sucks not to see things for my hair in my community that often. :/ I stand out a lot sometimes...
I'm Puerto Rican and European. So my hair is interesting, the top is more wavy meanwhile the middle is loose curls and the bottom are tighter curls, it's very hard to know what type of hair products to use.
No "latina" products have worked for me my hair is naturally curly its thin but still curls OK and I love using pink oil when I straighten my hair, any products from cantu curl activator to kinky curls have left my hair super fab and I love the big hair curls style so y'all products work for me and um sticking to them💕😊
Usually just use what works best for hair type or how bad the damage the hair is. My hair if fine but I have a lot of it. I also have a curl to my hair.
I have used the gorilla snot gel. Literally a little goes a long way. I only use a micro amount on my edges due to the product is so thick and sticky. I haven't attempted to use it any other way.
