Top Mexican Hair Products
Today, the demand for haircare products in Mexico has been at an all-time high: in 2011 alone, Mexico made $80 billion USD. And the number continues to grow as more men and women start to embrace their natural hair texture. According to a Nielsen report, this is due in part to consumers wanting “chemically clean products” in their country.
Regardless of the reason, the people of Mexico have some of the most beautiful, thick, luxurious hair we’ve seen! Next time you cross the border to visit family, go on vacation, or simply want to channel your inner Salma Hayek, these popular products are faves in the Mexican curly community. And luckily, they are accessible online as well.
