isima’s TriModal Method™ is a holistic approach to hair health, targeting three critical levels of hair structure for repair and complete care: scalp, cortex and cuticle.

The TriModal Method™ is a game-changing approach to haircare that targets the three critical levels of the hair structure to deliver repair, complete care and long-term performance.

This three-level approach lies at the core of our formulation philosophy: 

• Scalp Level: A healthy scalp is the foundation for strong, resilient hair.

• Cortex Level: As the innermost layer of the hair, the cortex is responsible for strength and elasticity.

• Cuticle Level: The outermost layer of the hair, the cuticle serves as a protective barrier, influencing texture, shine and porosity.

The foundation of healthy hair starts at the scalp. 

This level focuses on: 

• Supporting the scalp microbiome’s balance 

• Soothing and hydrating 

• Helping to maintain healthy hair growth conditions 

Key technology:
Nonapeptide-3, a retinol-inspired active used for the first time in haircare to promote a healthy-feeling scalp and help create an optimal environment for hair growth.

The cortex is the internal core of the hair fiber—responsible for strength, elasticity and resilience. 
 

This level focuses on: 

• Repairing internal damage from chemical or mechanical stress

• Rebuilding broken hydrogen, ionic bonds and disulfide bonds

• Reinforcing structural integrity
  

Key Technology:
GluconaBond™, a next-gen bond-building complex proven to strengthen across multiple hair types and damage levels.  
 

The outermost layer of hair, the cuticle, protects the internal structure and influences shine, smoothness and porosity. 

This level focuses on: 

• Sealing and smoothing the cuticle

• Boosting shine and softness

• Protecting against environmental stress 
  
  Key Technology:
  FiberSeal™, a technology to smooth and seal cuticle scales.
