More About KATSEYE

KATSEYE is not your average K-Pop group. The girl group consists of six members: Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia, and Yoonchae. Each member is from a different part of the world, instead of your standard asian-specific girls.

You’ve got Sophia from the Philippines, Yoonchae from South Korea, Manon from Switzerland, and Lara, Megan and Daniela from the United States. Lara is Indian, Megan is Chinese Singaporean and Daniela is Venezuelan Cuban. You’ve got multi-talented and multi-cultural individuals who come from different backgrounds but all aim for the same goal, making great pop music.

The global girl group was formed back in 2023 on the reality show Dream Academy, a collaboration between Hybe Corporation and Geffen Records. Since then, the group has skyrocketed in popularity with hits like “Gnarly,” “Gabriella” and “Debut.”

Ariana Grande ‘Thrilled’ to Lead Jon M. Chu’s ‘Oh, the Places You’ll Go!’ Voice Cast Alongside Josh Gad

After spending the past couple of years in Oz, Ariana Grande is moving to the land of Dr. Seuss.

As announced Tuesday (July 15), the pop star is set to lead the voice cast of Jon M. Chu and Jill Culton’s upcoming film adaptation of Oh, the Places You’ll Go!, a 1990 classic written and illustrated by the iconic children’s book author. Josh Gad — who previously lent his voice to Frozen, playing Olaf the Snowman — will also star in the project, which will hit theaters in 2028.

In a post on Instagram, Grande shared a photo of herself and Gad in a studio, partially hiding their faces behind their script books. She also wrote on her Story, “I love this book, I love this script, I love the beautiful world of @drseuss, I love this incredible group of creative human beings.”

“I am so thrilled to be a part of this one,” she added, calling her costar “a brilliant joy.”

Oh, the Places You’ll Go! marks the latest film project Grande has signed up for since starring in Wicked, which premiered last year and was also directed by Chu. She earned critical acclaim for her portrayal of Glinda opposite Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba in the musical, nabbing an Oscar nod for best supporting actress (which ended up going to Emilia Pérez‘s Zoe Saldaña). The second part of the film, Wicked: For Good, will arrive in November.

In May, the two-time Grammy winner also joined the cast of Meet the Parents 4 with Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro.

Produced by Warner Bros., Oh, the Places You’ll Go! will also feature original music by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the duo behind Dear Evan Hansen and The Greatest Showman. Additional cast members and plot details have yet to be announced, but the original Seuss book chronicles the whimsical and colorful adventures of a young traveler.

It won’t be the first time a Dr. Seuss creation has been transformed into an animated film. In 2008, Blue Sky Pictures produced an adaptation of Horton Hears a Who!, which was followed by Universal Pictures’ The Lorax — starring Zac Efron and Taylor Swift — in 2012.

What Can the Industry Learn From the Success of ‘KPop Demon Hunters’?

While the past couple weeks have seen major new releases from established superstars like Drake and Justin Bieber, the still-growing success of KPop Demon Hunters and its soundtrack arguably remains the most explosive story of the pop summer.

The animated Netflix fantasy musical, about the fictional K-pop girl group HUNTR/X (who are also the superhero demon hunters of the movie title) and their boy band rivals, the hellbound Saja Boys, has taken the Billboard charts by storm since its late-June release. This week, the soundtrack climbs to No. 2 on the Billboard 200, while seven of its tracks appear on the Billboard Hot 100 — led by HUNTR/X’s “Golden,” which zooms 23-6 on the chart.

What’s responsible for the soundtrack’s consistent growth? And what can other studios learn from the movie’s success? Billboard staffers discuss these questions and more below.

1. KPop Demon Hunters’ soundtrack reaches a new high of No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 75,000 equivalent album units moved. What do you think is the biggest reason the soundtrack is still growing at such a high rate?

Kyle Denis: Generally, I think we’ve been waiting for a true 2025 music phenomenon. By the midpoint of the year, 2024 gave us so many tentpole music-centric cultural moments from Cowboy Carter and Brat to Chappell Roan’s rise, Sabrina Carpenter’s breakthrough and “Not Like Us.” It’s been much quieter this year, and now we have a hit film that’s tapping into one of the buzziest contemporary genres, looping in horror aesthetics (which have already been proved fruitful this year by Sinners) and blending IRL K-Pop groups with fictional characters you can’t help but root for. Combine all that with the charts being so stagnant, and you have a perfect storm for KPop Demon Hunters.

Lyndsey Havens: I personally love growth stories like this, where the hype comes after the release and you can almost feel more and more people buying in because the success has become undeniable. I think the biggest reason this soundtrack is still growing is exactly that; while buzzy from the start, it has felt like the mainstream reaction was a bit delayed. And whether it be a curiosity listen or a fan reliving the movie that brought people in, the soundtrack is clearly earning and benefitting from repeat spins — and skyrocketing up the charts as a result.

Jason Lipshutz: Word of mouth. As KPop Demon Hunters logs more weeks as one of Netflix’s top films around the world, millions of new viewers are discovering the film and its music, whether through recommendation or simple curiosity about this new animated movie at the top of the queue. Simultaneously, millions who have fallen in love with the movie and its soundtrack are streaming the latter on music platforms, reliving their favorite moments from the film and driving several songs up the daily streaming chart. KPop Demon Hunters has become a pop culture phenomenon that grows larger week after week because the film is so accessible — even if you’re totally unaware of the movie and its music weeks after its release, you’ll be fully up to speed in 90 joyful minutes.

Andrew Unterberger: We’re definitely reaching the general-audience “wait so what’s the deal with this movie?” stage where it’s getting a lot of curiosity views and listens from folks who wouldn’t normally be first in line to check out an animated musical about a group of K-pop superheroes. But it also helps that the folks who fell in love with the movie upon its release don’t seem to have been able to get away from it in the weeks since — they’re still streaming these addictive songs over and over, while plenty of new converts are also joining the party.

Abby Webster: I watched the film on the release day, so I’ve been really surprised to see it grow week after week. It’s obviously found a fandom within the U.S., but we’ve also started to see it embraced by the K-pop community (even if a bunch of idols have been commenting on how unrealistic the movie’s portrayal of their profession is, which I think is hilarious). That may give it a bit of a second wind. And, in general, I think the fact that it’s equally loved by people who are and aren’t familiar with that world is one of the reasons it continues to get bigger and bigger.

2. HUNTR/X’s “Golden” launches into the Hot 100’s top 10 this week, moving 23-6. Do you think the song makes sense as the breakout hit from the soundtrack, or would you have tabbed a different song?

Kyle Denis: I think “Golden” makes sense! Not only is it integral to the plot, but it’s also a very catchy, well-made pop song with a strong hook.

Lyndsey Havens: I was a bit surprised that “How It’s Done” wasn’t the immediate fan favorite, just because of how familiar it sounds and the way in which it fuses pop and rap so seamlessly and has fun with the verses. And when it comes to the Oscars, I would have thought “What It Sounds Like” would be fair game for submission to the best original song category for the way in which it crescendos into a rallying and satisfying conclusion to the story. But “Golden” — which Billboard reported will be the song entered for Oscars consideration — benefits from being an undeniable turbo-pop anthem.

Jason Lipshutz: Even if “Golden” isn’t your personal favorite song from KPop Demon Hunters — shout-out to “What It Sounds Like”! — it’s understandable why it’s become the standout hit from the soundtrack, as a unifying anthem for HUNTR/X with soaring melodies and chest-thumping inspiration. Over the past few weeks, “Golden” has become a single-song representation of the KPop Demon Hunters phenomenon, as a highly positive, musically undeniable piece of pop songwriting; it was designed as a smash in the fictional world of the movie, but was strong enough to become one in the real world, too.

Andrew Unterberger: “Golden” is the song. It’s so fun and exciting and it would sound like a girl group going up, up up and embracing their moment even if it wasn’t what the group literally sang about in the chorus.

Abby Webster: It 100% makes sense to me. “Golden” is the big “I Want” song, which makes it the centerpiece of the soundtrack, but it also does a great job threading the needle between pop and narrative songwriting. It’s a really emotionally satisfying song whether you’ve seen the movie or not, though it’s heightened if you have. “Golden” is also just so catchy — I have genuinely been hearing “We’re goin’ up, up, up” when I close my eyes at night.

3. What do you think is more likely to happen in the coming weeks, the soundtrack topping the Billboard 200 or “Golden” topping the Hot 100?

Kyle Denis: I think Alex Warren still has some things left to say — as does Drake apparently — so I’ll go with the soundtrack topping the Billboard 200… perhaps the week after Justin Bieber’s Swag makes its chart debut.

Lyndsey Havens: While “Golden” has a bit higher to climb, I think that’s more likely to happen at some point… but maybe not in the coming weeks. I think the soundtrack has some stiff competition from Bieber’s Swag ahead, but knowing that “Golden” will be, at some point, getting an Oscars campaign and push makes me believe it has a shot of soaring to the No. 1 spot eventually.

Jason Lipshutz: A week ago, I would have said that the soundtrack could eke up one more spot and top the Billboard 200… but that was before we knew we were getting Justin Bieber’s Swag and Travis Scott’s which will likely score major debuts on the albums chart and stay near the top for a bit. So I’ll say that “Golden” — which is just getting started at top 40 radio, but sounds like it could cross over to that audience — could feasibly make it all the way to No. 1 on the Hot 100, especially considering the speed with which it’s moved up the charts over the past three weeks.

Andrew Unterberger: “Golden” might be about to hit its ceiling on streaming, so at this point it probably comes down to if the song can find a place on radio. The odds are against it there — top 40 has been historically inhospitable to both K-pop songs and songs from animated musicals, so a K-pop song from an animated musical already has two strikes. But the song is just so catchy and buoyant and the phenomenon is so far-reaching that I have to imagine programmers are at least tempted to give it a chance; it’s a more seamless pop radio fit than “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” was three years ago, certainly. I’m oddly optimistic about its chances to hit No. 1.

Abby Webster: Probably Billboard 200? They have a pretty big demon to slay in that regard, though.

4. Undoubtedly countless studios will look at the success of KPop Demon Hunters and attempt their own version — what lessons do you think they would be smart to learn from the movie and its soundtrack?

Kyle Denis: I think the biggest lesson here is one that the entertainment industry rarely seems to fully grasp: if you’re going to tap into a specific culture or genre, make sure the key players in those spaces are involved in the process. It would have been easy — and pretty distasteful — to make something like KPop Demon Hunters without involving people who have actually made K-pop hits, so it’s dope to see names like TWICE, Teddy Park, and Jenna Andrews, among others, in the credits.

Lyndsey Havens: Listen to superfans! I think what makes KPop Demon Hunters and its soundtrack so successful is that — maybe mythical elements aside — it’s so rooted in what fandom feels like today and the music is a direct reflection of what’s resonating today across the globe. Not only stylistically, but also lyrically with songs that talk about celebrating what makes a person so authentically them. I think what really makes this franchise special is it doesn’t feel like it’s selling anything or pushing any agenda, and ironically, that’s usually when people tend to buy in the most.

Jason Lipshutz: Simply put, KPop Demon Hunters would not have worked had the soundtrack been lacking in K-pop legitimacy. Because a crew of expert producers, songwriters and vocalists were involved in the creation of the music, though, songs like “Golden,” “Your Idol” and “How It’s Done” sounded like real hits, both within the music-centered plot of the movie and real-world streaming playlists. The film itself is entertaining and well-crafted, but the music elevates the experience, in a way that recalls any animated Disney smash of decades past. While KPop Demon Hunters may inspire more musical TV and film projects in the world of K-pop, if the songs fall flat, so will the projects themselves.

Andrew Unterberger: If you’re going to do a successful genre/culture musical like this, you absolutely need three things: good songs, a good story and legitimate connection to and buy-in from the community you’re representing. KPop Demon Hunters did the work to get all three, and now it’s reaping the rewards.

Abby Webster: A good takeaway would be that it took actual hitmakers for KPop Demon Hunters to have hits. The studio assembled a big crew of real K-pop songwriters for the project, which I think is why the soundtrack resonates so well outside the context of the movie.

5. If they were real groups, would you be more likely to stan HUNTR/X or Saja Boys?

Kyle Denis: Saja Boys. “Your Idol” is a banger!

Lyndsey Havens: HUNTR/X for life, sorry boys.

Jason Lipshutz: HUNTR/X. The trio contains balance: all three members have distinct roles within the girl group, and skillfully deploy them in each of their signature songs. Are Saja Boys cool? Sure. Is “Soda Pop” catchy enough to snatch a soul or two? Absolutely. But a boy band can’t have five bad boys — a fundamental issue with constructing a pop group full of demons.

Andrew Unterberger: HUNTR/X don’t miss.

Abby Webster: Unfortunately, I think I would be stanning demons. Saja Boys tap into two genres of K-pop boy groups that I really like — the pure serotonin bops and then, like, “We’re dark and mysterious supernatural creatures.” But I also love big vocal moments from girl groups, which EJAE definitely provides that as the singing voice of Rumi. I tend to gravitate toward K-pop groups that are heavily involved in creating their own music, too, so the fact that Zoey writes for HUNTR/X would be a big plus for me.

‘American Idol’ Music Supervisor Robin Kaye & Husband Found Dead in Their Home: Report

Robin Kaye, who worked as a music supervisor on American Idol for 15 seasons, and her husband Thomas Deluca were found dead in their Los Angeles home on Monday (July 14), according to reports from Deadline and TMZ.

Kaye and Deluca were reportedly found dead with apparent gunshot wounds. The reports state that authorities discovered the bodies while doing a welfare check on the household Monday (July 14).

TMZ also claims that police entered Kaye’s house by smashing a window after spotting blood at the entrance. Four days prior, police had been called to the same residence to check out reports of an unidentified suspect that neighbors had seen trying to gain entry, according to the outlet.

Billboard has reached out to American Idol and the Los Angeles Police Department for comment.

According to her IMDb page, Kaye had experience in multiple areas of the music industry before she made the leap to music supervision. After working for Waylon Jennings in Nashville and joining MTM Records as vp of artist development and broadcast media, she spent some time in Chicago before moving to L.A.

Kaye also worked in the film and TV licensing department at MCA-Universal Records and oversaw music licensing for PolyGram Records. In 2000, she founded her own company, SyncroniCity, which handles music supervision for shows such as Idol. The other programs on Kaye’s resume are Lip Sync Battle, Hollywood Game Night, NAACP Image Awards, The Singing Bee, Miss USA, Miss Universe, American Inventor, Q’Viva , The Dance Scene, Dance Your Ass Off, Your Chance To Dance, Adventures of Power and Crashed.

Featuring judges Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie, Idol wrapped its 23rd season in May. The show first premiered in 2002, running for 15 seasons before it went on hiatus in 2016.

The series was resurrected in 2018 with Bryan, Richie and Katy Perry — who has since been replaced by Underwood — on board.

Lil Baby, Rick Ross & Lil Yachty to Appear in Season 2 of Druski’s ‘Coulda Been House’: Watch the Trailer

Druski’s Coulda Been House is spinning the block. The comedic superstar announced the release of season two’s CBH with a trailer arriving on Tuesday (July 15) featuring appearances from plenty of his famous rap friends.

Premiering on July 17, Coulda Been House will pack 16 contestants and aspiring artists chasing their music dreams under one roof while competing for a grand prize of $50,000 and a record deal.

A star-studded lineup featuring Lil Baby, Rick Ross, Lil Yachty , Ray J, Saucy Santana, Bob Menery, Sway Calloway and Chocolate Droppa (Kevin Hart) will lend their expertise to CBH throughout a jam-packed season two.

“We’re taking Coulda Been House to the next level — we have a bigger house, wilder artists and new special guests,” Druski said in a statement. “This season is definitely going to be extreme, but the competition and pressure will be all worth it for the winner to sign with Coulda Been Records and cash that $50,000 check thanks to Raising Cane’s.”

As usual with his endeavors, look for a new track from Druski that will serve as the theme song for the upcoming season.

Coulda Been House looks to build on a successful debut, which compiled more than 80 million views across the eight-episode first season and saw appearances from Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown and Birdman.

Druski continues to stand on business with a busy 2025 campaign, which recently found him making multiple skit cameos on Justin Bieber’s SWAG album in the role of the pop star’s de facto therapist.

Look for the premiere of Coulda Been House‘s season two at 9 p.m. ET on July 17 on Druski’s YouTube channel. Watch the trailer below.

Beyoncé vs. Jay-Z and More Music Highlights From 2025 Primetime Emmy Nods

Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z are going head-to-head in a marquee category for the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards. The Netflix special Beyoncé Bowl is competing for outstanding variety special (live) with The Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show Starring Kendrick Lamar – which Jay-Z executive produced. Both programs received four nominations.

Beyoncé was also nominated for outstanding directing for a variety special, a nod she shares with Alex Rudzinksi. This brings her career nominations total to 10. Beyoncé, a 35-time Grammy winner, has yet to win an Emmy. Jay has won two Emmys – outstanding variety special live in 2022 as an executive producer of The Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show Starring Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent and outstanding directing for a variety special the following year for The Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show Starring Rihanna.

This year’s other nominees for outstanding variety special (live) are the 2025 Oscars (ABC) and a pair of specials saluting Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary — SNL50: The Anniversary Special (NBC) and SNL50: The Homecoming Concert (Peacock).

Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar were the top winners at the 2025 Grammys, where Beyoncé finally won album of the year for the first time, and Lamar swept all five awards for which he was nominated, including record and song of the year. Both stars elected not to perform on the Grammys, which was passed over for a nod for outstanding variety special (live).

Severance was this year’s most nominated program with 27 nods, but if you combine Saturday Night Live and the various 50th anniversary salutes to that legendary show, they collectively received even more nods with 31.

Questlove received three nominations for his work on three different programs — outstanding directing for a documentary/nonfiction program for Ladies & Gentlemen…50 Years of SNL Music (alongside Oz Rodriguez); outstanding music direction for SNL50: The Homecoming Concert (alongside James Poyser); and outstanding documentary or nonfiction special for Sly Lives! (Aka The Burden of Black Genius). These are Questlove’s first Emmy nods. He has won six Grammys and an Oscar.

Many other top music stars or programs were nominated in various categories.

Selena Gomez is nominated for outstanding comedy series as an executive producer of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building. This is her fourth consecutive nomination in that category, which extends her Emmy record as the Latina producer with the most nods. She was passed over this year for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series, a category in which she was nominated last year.

Cynthia Erivo, who was nominated for an Oscar earlier this year for her lead performance in Wicked, is nominated for outstanding guest actress in a comedy series for Peacock’s Poker Face. This is her second Primetime Emmy nod.

I Am Celine Dion (Prime Video) is among the nominees for exceptional merit. Shawn Mendes: Red Rocks Live in VR is among the nominees for outstanding emerging media.

Julie Andrews received her 12th Primetime Emmy nod, this time for outstanding character voiceover performance for Bridgerton (Netflix). The legendary star landed her first Primetime Emmy nod in 1958 – actress, best single performance – lead or support – for her role in CBS’ broadcast of Cinderella. This is the longest span of nominations in Emmy history.

Conan O’Brien: The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor is nominated for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded), where it is competing with five stand-up specials – by Adam Sandler, Ali Wong, Sarah Silverman and Nate Bargatze (all on Netflix) and Bill Burr (on Hulu). Bargatze is hosting this year’s Primetime Emmys.

Conan O’Brien, who hosted the Oscars in January and is set to host the 2026 Oscars, is also nominated for outstanding hosted nonfiction for Conan O’Brien Must Go (HBO Max). His competition includes My Next Guest Needs No Introduction (Netflix), hosted by fellow talk show legend (and former Oscar host) David Letterman.

In the reality competition category, NBC’s The Voice was shut out for the first time since 2011, when it was in its debut season. The nominees are The Traitors (Peacock), which won last year; CBS’s The Amazing Race, which has won 10 times in the category; RuPaul’s Drag Race (MTV), which has won five times; Top Chef (Bravo), which won in 2010); and CBS’s Survivor, which has yet to win in the category.

The Daily Show, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel Live! are the three nominees for outstanding talk series. The Daily Show has won it (or a predecessor category) 13 times. This would be the first win for this either of the other shows (though Colbert won twice for his previous series, The Colbert Report.) There are only three slots this year because there were only 13 submissions in the category. That was a bad break for Late Night With Seth Meyers, which was nominated the last three years. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon was passed over in the category for the ninth consecutive year. That’s the longest The Tonight Show has ever gone without a nod in this category since the show went on the air in 1954.

Saturday Night Live (NBC) and Last Week Tonight With John Oliver (HBO Max) are the two nominees for outstanding scripted variety series. This is a real battle of the heavyweights: SNL won in this category six years in a row, until 2023, when Oliver’s program was moved into this category. His show won the last two years. Last Week Tonight has won nine Emmys in top series categories. SNL has won eight.

Hamish Hamilton has two nominations for outstanding directing for a variety special. He’s nominated for both the Oscars and the Kendrick Lamar half-time show.

Barack Obama is nominated for outstanding narrator for Our Oceans (Netflix). The former president has won twice in that category, for Our Great National Parks (2022) and Working: What We Do All Day (2023). If he wins, he’ll have more Emmys to his name than Grammys (two).

Ken Jennings, host of Jeopardy (ABC), is competing for outstanding game show host with, among others, Colin Jost, host of the new Prime Video spin-off, Pop Culture Jeopardy. The other nominees in the category are Elizabeth Banks (Press Your Luck), Steve Harvey (Celebrity Family Feud) and Jimmy Kimmel (Who Wants to Be a Millionaire).

Two Oscar-winning directors, Martin Scorsese and Ron Howard, are among those competing for outstanding guest actor in a comedy series, both for their roles on The Studio (Apple TV+). This is Howard’s first Emmy nomination for acting. He started out as an actor on The Andy Griffith Show and Happy Days.

First-round voting runs from Aug. 18-27. The Creative Arts Emmys will be will be presented over two nights, Saturday, Sept. 6, and Sunday, Sept. 7, at the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live. Highlights from the two ceremonies will air Saturday, Sept. 13, at 8:00 PM PT on FXX.

The Primetime Emmys will be telecast live coast-to-coast on Sunday Sept. 14 from 8:00-11:00 PM ET/5:00-8:00 PM PT) on CBS and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

Here Are the Five Best Products to Shop from Shakira’s Haircare Brand Isima

All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Shakira’s haircare is officially here. Isima launched on July 6, and it’s already flying off the shelf. The haircare line, which means “very” or “extremely” in Spanish, includes eight products ranging from $32 to $42 and they’re all available at Ulta Beauty right now.

With items like a leave-in treatment, mask and curl cream, all of the new products were formulated with the star’s Latin roots in mind. Isima embraces hair diversity with what we like to call a “more is more” approach, with a formula backed by clinical results that guarantee these products actually work.

“I know what it is to feel that you’ve lost a little bit of your confidence when your hair is not where you want it to be,” Shakira said in an interview with InStyle. “During the times when I had less hair because it was broken, it felt like a part of my power was gone. I feel like Samson and Delilah — remember that story [from the Bible] where Samson felt that his energy, his power, came from his hair, and he cut it, and he lost his strength? I feel a little bit like that.”

From clarifying shampoo to scalp serums, each product was formulated with the unique complexities of hair in mind. The scientists behind each product took into consideration various factors like texture, curl type, pattern, porosity and density to create products that work for all. With all that in mind, we’re helping you curate your perfect haircare routine by breaking down our five faves from the collection. We’ll be breaking down formulas, price and best use practices to have your hair looking its best. Wave bye-bye to bad hair days for good.

Shakira's Isima Haircare: Shop the Five Best Products

Isima Reset Clarifying Shampoo

$32.00

A deeply cleansing shampoo.

Everyone needs a shampoo in their haircare routine. This one from Isima is deeply clarifying, meaning it cleans really well. Retailing for $32.00, the Reset Clarifying Shampoo aims at removing dirt and oil build-up on the scalp without stripping your follicles of the natural oils that make the hair healthy and silky smooth.

It’s all thanks to two main ingredients, biotech bisabolol and soapberry extract complex. The biotech bisabolol is a bio-engineered compound that helps reduce the feeling of irritation post-wash. Soapberry extract complex boasts powerful chelating agents that help cleanse and detoxify. For our readers with treated hair, this formula is color-safe and silicone-free, so you won’t have to stress about losing the vibrancy of your dye job after every wash.

Isima Delicia Reparative Hair Oil

$36.00

A hydrating hair oil.

Hair oils like this one from Isima are a perfect remedy for hair damage. If you got a little too bleach-happy or you love to straighten or blow-dry your hair without heat protection (we see you and we are low-key judging), then this one’s for you. This formula is jam-packed with emisqualane, a naturally derived emollient, and chilean rosehip seed oil that work in harmony to combat frizz, boost shine and enhance smoothness. If you are on the market for a heat protectant, this oil also works to protect the hair from heat styling up to 450°F.

Isima Iconic Densifying Scalp Serum

$42.00

A reparative serum for your scalp.

This reparative serum is a must-have if you want thicker, longer hair. Retailing for $42.00, the Iconic Densifying Scalp Serum hydrates, soothes and fortifies the scalp with help from a mix of lightweight hydrating ingredients like Mexican aloe extract and Peruvian maca root extract. The aforementioned ingredients, in turn, create the ideal environment to support fuller and stronger hair. As we mentioned, each product is clinically tested with results you can easily access if you’re sceptical. Based on a third-party clinical study with 35 participants, 87% agree their scalp feels healthier and more balanced after 4 weeks of use.

Isima Travel Size Súperbomba Triple Repair Peptide Hair Mask

$16.00

A peptide-infused hair mask.

This hair mask from Isima is chock-full of peptides that target the scalp, cortex and cuticle, repairing each follicle from root to tip. The formula is patent-pending, full of unique ingredients like GluconaBond™ and FiberSeal™. GluconaBond is an ingredient unique to Isima products that recreates lost hydrogen and ionic bonds, replicating the structure of strands for a reinforced hold. Like its name, FiberSeal smooths and seals cuticles that have been lifted due to damage, actively repairing the hair one treatment at a time.

Isima Curls Don’t Lie Curl Perfecting Cream

$32.00
