SPECIALTY: As the mane woman to Beyoncé—who changes her hair almost as often as she changes her clothes—Los Angeles–based hairstylist Kimble creates spotlight-stealing coifs: "Gorgeous hair is all about shine, texture, and lots of body."
SECRET WEAPON: When clients such as Mary J. Blige need to ensure that not a strand is out of place, Kimble tames flyways with a dab of the wax stick from her own line. "On the red carpet, even one stickingout hair can be noticeable. This keeps the look polished."
QUICK FIX: Whether they opt for elegant updos or straight, sleek styles, Kimble's clients get by with a little help from clip-in hair extensions: "They add instant body to hair and require very little prep time."
Kimble Hair Care Systems Retrospective Workable Hairspray "has great hold but is still easy to brush through."
Kimble tells her clients to sleep on silk pillowcases (like the Branché pillowcase shown here): "Hair can break more on cotton than on silk."
Kimble uses hot rollers ( Babyliss Pro Professional Ceramic 5 Jumbo Roller Hairsetter is shown here) to create comely curls in under 20 minutes.
Lineapro Titanium Flat Iron "gives a supersleek finish."
