Listen up, Latinas. We've got some serious beauty secrets to share with you. Whether it's frizzy, unmanageable hair or some itty-bitty laugh lines you're trying to fight, we've got a product on this list to address it.
These are the top 10 beauty products you need to fight what nature -- and your mama -- gave ya.
10. Mirta De Pereles N Oil Treatment Shampoo
Have hair that feels like straw? Well, join us, oh cursed one. We all do. But we manage to avoid that wire-like frizz look that happens when you go au natural by imbibing -- or rather, having our hair imbibe -- on this N Oil shampoo. Mirta De Pereles is like an answer from the Latina hair gods, so if you haven't found your way to this line of products, perhaps you should do so. Now. It's the only way out of the frizz, sister.
Amazon.com, $13.99
9. Toque Magico Emergencia
Have a hair emergencia? No problem. We've got the solution, and it's called Toque Magico. That's Magic Touch, for all you non-Spanish speakers. And the thing is, they really aren't kidding around with that magic touch business, either. This Dominican beauty treatment knows just how to soothe the scraggly locks of any hair type, but especially those thick mops that are the hardest to tame.
It's a staple in most Dominican households for a reason, you know -- it can soften even the most damaged hair -- so you should also invite this product into your beauty bag, or you may end up regretting it. Just be careful after you use it; we don't need people breaking their necks to get ahold of those locks you'll be sporting, now do we.
Amazon.com, $11.00
8. Suavipelo Laciador
If your hair hates humidity, you should probably be splurging on a little bit of Suavipelo, because this is about the best product you can use to counteract the nasties brought about by moisture and heat in the air. Seriously. It may be a bit hard to find -- but when you do come upon this miracle in a bottle, you should buy about as much of it as you can possibly find. It's that awesome.
Amazon.com, $13.99
7. Sedal Obedient Curls
If you were blessed (or perhaps cursed) with curly hair, you may already know the wonders of Sedal Obedient. And if you don't, well, you should because this will keep those kinks from getting to the point of uncontrollable. Nothing about it is greasy or filmy, and it smells incredible, so it's pretty much the best. And if you happen to be making a trip to Trinidad or Venezuela any time soon, you can probably find it for about $3 or $4, which is much cheaper than tracking it down in the U.S.
Amazon.com, $13.14
6. Phebo Soap
Phebo may look like just a regular old bar of soap, but don't make that mistake, or you could accidentally write off one of the best products around for your skin. This Brazilian black soap is glycerin-based, so there's no film left behind. However, it WILL leave your skin smelling like roses, so watch out, hot stuff. You may make some new admirers after you add Phebo in to your beauty plan.
Amazon.com, $12.90
5. Silicon Mix
This Dominican beauty product makes even the most picky hair easy to deal with. Seriously. Silicon hair treatment contains bamboo extract, which is a natural product used to regenerate and nourish the hair and silicones to smooth and give shine, and also prevent hair breakage and split ends. So basically, it's perfect for Latina hair of all types. Not to mention that it's pretty stinkin' cheap, even if you can't make it all the way to the Dominican Republic to obtain it.
Amazon.com, $9.89
4. Quimica Alemana Nail Hardener
Latina or not, we're pretty sure you've had some Quimica Alemana Nail Hardener in your mitts at least one or twice in your life. After all, the stuff is a lifesaver. It prevents chipping, peeling and splitting of damaged nails, and it basically does a complete 180 on everything unfortunate occuring with those overworked nails of yours. Even salons have caught on to the wonders of this stuff.
Amazon.com, $7.92
3. Maja Soap
This Spanish product has been a staple with the fabulous -- and well-fragranced women -- across the world for decades. It was discontinued for a while, but we can thank our lucky stars that this palm-sized soap, which smells pretty much like heaven, was picked back up for production. It's a definite need -- not want -- but need. As in you must have some. Now go.
Amazon.com, $14.34
2. Mirta De Pereles Collagen Elastin
It shouldn't surprise you that another Mirta De Pereles product is on here. What should surprise you, however, is just how awesome this wrinkle-fighter really is. If you're worried about lines and wrinkles on that gorgeous face of yours, don't be. Just dig out some of this collagen cream and go to town. You'll look 20 forever, darling.
Amazon.com, $11.95
1. La Plancha Deep Heat Hair Reconstructor Hair Treatment
There really isn't a better heat treatment you can use on your hair. This Dominican secret is pretty much the best of the best, which is saying a LOT, considering how many are out there. It's named "The Iron" for a reason -- nothing else will get your hair so smooth or straight, while still leaving it feeling (and smelling) the best it ever has. We couldn't be bigger fans of La Plancha.
Amazon.com, $13.47
