If I had to describe my hair in one word it would definitely be: complicated. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve come to love my natural type 4, coily texture, but it honestly took years before I got to that place because it isn’t the easiest to manage. In addition to being super thick and curly, my hair is also low porosity and doesn’t like very many products out there—even ones designed for curls. That’s also why I’m constantly on the hunt for a brand that does all the right things for my hair without leaving it brittle or dry over time. Easier said than done, but I recently revisited an old favorite product and was excited to see how much the brand had expanded since I last used it.

I discovered Rōz years ago when the brand launched with its first product the Santa Lucia Styling Oil ($45), a hydrating staple I couldn’t get enough of. I was immediately excited by the brand because the mastermind behind it is celebrity stylist Mara Roszak. Her long list of celebrity clientele includes Zoe Saldaña, Emm Stone, Sandra Bullock, and Riley Keough (basically, every single one of my celeb hair muses). Rōz was born out of 20 years spent behind the chair working on the tresses of said celebs and in high-end salons. “I started to notice that so many styling products were becoming overly complicated, heavy, and disconnected from the way I actually wanted hair to feel,” Roszak told me. “I wanted to create something that supported the hair rather than fighting it—products that enhance natural texture, feel beautiful in the hair, and make styling feel effortless. Rōz was born from that philosophy: high-performance haircare and styling that gives you beautiful results while still allowing your hair to feel like your hair.”
