I'm in Montreal but thinking of moving to Toronto in May.
I've found dominican products here in Montreal and many dominican hairdressers.
this is my first winter in Canada so I have no tips for winter haircare, I just pincurl my hair and put my silk scarf inside my woollen hats
nice thread

 

[silvergirl]

im canadian as well

 

[RubyWoo]

I'm from Toronto too! Anyone know where I can find Dominican products around here? Also, does anyone know where I can find Jamaican Castor oil?

 

[Africana in Alberta]

Hi Ladies!!! I'm in Edmonton. I'm also looking for Jamaican Black Castor Oil.

 

[sweetpuff]

Montreal girl here!!!
I can't say much but I'll say this:
products: -extra virgin coconut oil from GNC stores
-Other oils: any natural products store.
-go to wal-mart . enough said.
relaxed hair: dominicans are the truth... but I DIE each and everytime they blow dry my hair. I don't think it is normal to burn your scalp that much. I found a haitian salon that did an excellent job on my hair... the salon does not exist anymore...it teaches you to do your own stuff...
- Jamaican oil: family brought it from the south for me.
Winter: I have braids on but now that it seems like Colorado got our winter (I feel for you guys though. It hit pretty hard out there), I'll take them off and wrap my head. Silky hats sound really cool, but my budget tells me I'll put it in a pony, wear a silky scarf around it, baggy the ends and phony pony my way through the 'winter'.

 

[Aalize]

Montreal ladies, which Dominican products are available to you guys? It seems we might have to set up a Toronto-Montreal exchange here .

Sounds like a plan

I have not been able to find Jamaican Castor Oil in Toronto.
A few venders have mentioned that it's difficult to import to Canada.
My sister brought some back from Jamaican in the summer.
I do use a very good substitute
called "West Indian Pride", there are two kinds, one is "dark castor oil" because it's organic and less refined.

Can be located at:
Jas East West Indian415 The Westway #6ATel 416-244-9713
they also have a Brampton location .

Would you let me know if you locate Dominican products in the GTA

Thanks

Hi!

I'm very familiar with Montreal...There are 2 places where I always go shop there... Beaute des Antilles and Nakisha... They both have a bit of hair products. Nakisha is more a wig shop/exstension shop...unless they changed... I haven't been there in ages. The same with Beaute des antilles. I beleive that the owner opened quite a couple of beaute des antilles store. He probably also have castor oil.

I buy dominican products at Estofa a latin market/resto/salsa club ,it's on st hubert 4 blocks from jean-talon. I also met a dominican hairdresser and she has alter ego products and said that if I bring a container she can sell me some. I went to Cuba in October and brought my mom miss keys 10 in 1 and lafier rinse. at my hairdresser's i've seen silicon mix,nacidit, aceite de romero and "baba de caracol"conditioner , they said it's really good but it disgusts me to put something out of a snail on my hair.
my other hair products i bought online but with the taxes the price is prohibitive, so I go to Estofa from time to time, I'm sure there are more latin markets around that area

Definitely! I recently purchased some dominican products from sickbay.biz and the prices and shipping aren't too bad. I can't wait to find a store so I don't have to order online though.

Hi there, I'm of Cuban decent as well.
My father " God rest his sole" was Cuban. I have never been there, was born in Jamaica. I trust and pray to stop there on my cruise I plan to take in 2008.

I was wondering if you could recommend a few good Dominican or Latin products.
Thanks in advance.

Another Toronto Girl! I buy most of my products at Wal-Mart or the BSS. I haven't changed my routine at all for the winter, still frequently washing/rinsing/cowashing and wearing a puff.
