“A big part of my identity has always been my hair. I’m an artist, a performer, a daughter, a mother, and through it all I’ve had these curls that, believe me, have been through a lot.”

A singer-songwriter. A global icon. A cultural force. A multi-hyphenate recognized around the world as one of the most influential Latina artists of her generation. Having long struggled to nurture her own demanding waves and curls, she realized that her same frustrations—and desires for more—were shared by millions. 

So she demanded more. Más. Knowing women with hair just like hers—and so many others with strands all their own—Shakira partnered with the world’s top scientific experts to develop something truly novel and astoundingly effective. 

“I've watched friends, family, and many other women who like me, spent years trying every new product available to find the right one. I have always felt like there are a lot of products out there, but nothing to meet the challenges that come with complex hair and multiple textures.”
