K18 Launches HeatBounce, Haircare's First Intelligent Heat Protectant
Photo courtesy of K18 K18 just embarked on its biggest launch of the year. The biomimetic hair brand released its HeatBounce conditioning heat protectant on July 23. Powered by proprietary ResiliCore heat-shielding technology, the patented development was inspired by nature's most flexible and heat-resilient protein resilin. The cutting-edge formula was designed to be the first of its subcategory. 'It dynamically activates with heat, reinforcing the inner structure of the hair fiber,' co-founder and CEO Suveen Sahib said exclusively, comparing it to Gore-Tex waterproof fabric. 'It's lightweight, breathable protection from within, unlike the old-school rubberized approach. It's designed to keep hair resilient during styling and long after, when external heat and mechanical exposures can do just as much harm. It's proactive, it's responsive and it's built on years of research into how nature defends itself from heat.' The Decision To Launch HeatBounce With only eight original SKUs since launching its groundbreaking $75 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask in 2020, each K18 release comes with meticulous detail and execution. The current launch follows the March 2025 release of AstroLift Reparative Volume Spray. 'We only launch when we can believe we can truly change the game,' Sahib said. 'Heat protection has stayed stagnant for decades, relying on surface coatings that act like rubber raincoats. They're heavy, temporary and ineffective where damage really starts. Meanwhile, heat styling has evolved, with faster tools, dynamic temperatures and more frequent use. Yet, the tech to protect hair hasn't kept up.' This is where HeatBounce entered the chat. Calling it the 'first intelligent heat shield for hair,' Sahib went on to stress the importance of treating heat protection with all-day maintenence. 'The biggest misconception in heat care is that protection is a one-and-done event: apply, style, done,' he explained. 'But in reality, heat stress is progressive. It starts in the salon and continues long after the client walks out, especially under environmental heat exposure and our daily styling routines.' Sahib insists there's no innovation on the market that compares. 'Traditional products protect the outside, and HeatBounce defends from the inside where thermal breakdown starts,' he said. 'ResiliCore activates with heat to reinforce internal bonds and create a resilient, flexible defense network. And unlike traditional coatings, it doesn't break down or build up. It continues protecting through additional exposures such as mechanical and environmental stress.' Photo courtesy of K18 Maximizing The Benefits of HeatBounce The brand will spread education on HeatBounce through its longtime ambassador Devante Turnbull, who has most recently been using K18 products on tour with SZA. The new formula starts as a lightweight cream, then transforms into a fine mist for even, weightless application. It can be use on damp or dry hair before any kind of heat, blow-drying, flat-ironing, curling or diffusing. It can also double as a shield for daily protection. All K18 products were formulated to work cohesively as a full system, and no matter the launch, the brand will always stick to its pillars. 'Biology knows best,' Sahib said. 'Our work isn't cosmetic, it's molecular. With K18Peptide, we repaired broken keratin chains. With HeatBounce and ResiliCore, we're helping prevent that damage from happening in the first place. For us, this is not a line extension. It's a leap forward, marking a new era in proactive, biotech-powered styling.'

Johnston's "dream" meets a $250M reckoning
Mayor Mike Johnston's second State of the City address Monday night brimmed with Mile High optimism — invoking the word "dream" a dozen times and pitching Denver as the "capital of the New West." Yes, but: What the mayor largely skipped in his 38-minute speech was the $250 million budget hole that's about to swallow City Hall — and potentially hundreds of jobs with it. He spent barely a minute on the deficit, pledging to "minimize impact" on city workers and core services while delivering a government that will "work better and cost less." The big picture: Two years into his first term, Johnston touted historic drops in street homelessness and violent crime, downtown revitalization efforts, and a newly overhauled building permitting process. Over the next two years, he's setting his sights on tackling long-term support services for unhoused residents, theft and public drug use, stagnant downtown office demand, and a housing market that's pricing teachers and nurses out. Reality check: How the mayor plans to accomplish his ambitious goals under such severe budget constraints and with staffing slashed is the elephant not just in the room — but squarely in his lap. Between the lines: Johnston also doubled down on plans to put an $800 million "Vibrant Denver" infrastructure bond on November's ballot — a tough sell in a city facing cuts. What's next: A formal budget-balancing plan is expected this fall, likely setting off tense negotiations in City Hall. Layoff announcements could start as soon as Aug. 2. The bottom line: Johnston is urging Denverites to rally around a common vision — but with a quarter-billion-dollar shortfall, it's hard to ignore the realities crowding out the hope.

Gas prices $0.45 less per gallon in Georgia than last year, AAA says
The latest gas prices in Georgia remain lower than the year before, and are still going down even compared to the last month.

Compared to last year, AAA said prices in Georgia were 45 cents less than in 2024.
