Although well known for their appreciation of beauty, there is still more to know about Brazilian hair care. You may be familiar with Brazilian keratin treatments, but that is merely one treatment of the country’s beauty practices. There are many more nuggets of goodness that Brazilian women can share with us like NOVEX, a hair product company manufactured by Embelleze Rio Brazilian Secrets. Although I have used many of their products, I recently took a dive into their Bamboo Sprout Collection. Bamboo is known by Brazilians for its fatty acid and high protein content, great for adding moisture and strength to the hair. Take a peek!

Amazon reviews
- Shiloh: “I wash my hair twice a week, and use this along with the brotu de bamboo shampoo. I’ve never found any product that’s able to keep my very dry, thick, long hair moisturized and soft. My hair is also extremely prone to knots, and this is the best product I’ve ever used in terms of keeping my hair from tangling. Brazil truly has the monopoly on beauty products. Nothing in the United States compares! Highly recommended.”
- Denise Snipes: “Love Embelleze Novex Bamboo Sprout Hair care. I alternate it with Novex Recovering Mix. My hair looks great. Less breakage, soft, manageable, and moisturized. Love it!!”
- Coralcandy: “The product came in perfect condition from the seller. This conditioner is definitely my favorite deep conditioner! It’s super moisturizing and provides enough slip to comb through my tightly curly hair very easily.”
