Shakira on Innovation, Community, and a Lifelong Pursuit of Knowledge

Shakira’s career‌ began ​at​ a ​young age, and her connection to her hair has ⁤been ⁢a constant throughout her⁣ life. This ‍personal journey, marked by ​years of ‌experimenting⁣ with styles⁤ and battling the complexities of her multi-textured, color-treated curls, ultimately fueled her latest venture: ​a hair care line born from a desire for⁣ solutions she couldn’t find elsewhere.

The advancement ‌of the line wasn’t a solitary process. Shakira emphasized​ the crucial role of ⁣community, stating she rigorously tested each⁤ formulation with a diverse group – friends, family, professionals, and individuals representing a wide range of backgrounds and hair types. “We tested with my friends, my ​team, my family, professionals, experts, latinas, non-Latinas, women, men… Everyone ‌was part of the perfect creation of thes formulas with their comments. We were committed to offering real solutions to real people.”

This​ collaborative ⁣spirit reflects a broader beliefs that drives Shakira’s ​work. When‍ asked how she⁤ balances her many roles – artist, mother, businesswoman, and now, beauty brand founder – she highlighted the⁢ importance of surrounding herself ⁣with a talented team.⁤ But beyond delegation, shakira revealed a genuine enthusiasm for the process⁣ of creation itself.”With any new ‌project, there are always ‍challenges. Its natural. I am lucky to be surrounded by⁢ a team with some⁢ of the brightest‍ scientific minds. I love exploring new frontiers and breaking boundaries. I ‍find⁣ it⁢ exciting to be constantly learning and growing.”

This sentiment – ‌the joy of continuous learning -​ is central to ⁢her approach. She described the launch of⁣ ‘isima‘ as​ representing “true innovation,⁣ with clinically proven results, for a community that‌ has been underserved.” The brand’s name, ‘isima’ (meaning “most” or “superlative”), embodies‌ this ambition ⁢to push boundaries and encourage consumers to demand more from their hair ⁣care. ‍

Shakira sees the line as more than just products; it’s a recognition of a previously overlooked demographic.”It’s about feeling​ heard in the everyday​ struggles with your hair and⁣ the confidence it gives you when ⁣it‌ looks amazing. It ‌may seem like a small thing, but​ that feeling of being recognized by​ an industry that has long overlooked women like me, with intricate hair like mine, was ‍very notable​ to me.”

Ultimately, the project is a gift to her devoted fanbase,⁣ who have long admired ‌and emulated her style. “They are⁣ at the heart of everything I do, so I look forward to listening to them and continuing to work to give them exactly​ what they are looking for.” For Shakira, the launch of ‘isima’ isn’t just a new chapter, but a continuation​ of a lifelong journey of exploration, innovation, and connection with her‌ community.
