Laurieann Gibson: Born to Dance Episode 5 Styling Tips

Laurieann Gibson’s hair on Born to Dance is as important as the choreography! Celebrity stylist Karim Odoms will be sharing his style tips on how to create beautiful, flowing hair every week.

For Laurieann’s retro glam hair, use a 1-inch barrell curling iron wrap hair around the iron twisting in alternating directions. When done, pin curl hair leaving out the ends of curl. When hair is completely pin curled allow hair to set for 15 mins. Remove pins and using a bristle brush, brush entire head out into a wave pattern. You can also use your fingers to create two big finger waves in front using hair spray for hold, body and bounce.

  Born and raised in Philadelphia, Karim Odoms discovered his passion for hair at the age of 14. Two years later he was the neighborhood’s hairdresser working from home. Growing up in a family of strong women where it was all about good hair, style and fashion is what inspired him to create in that medium.

In 2005 he decided to move to New York to pursue his dreams as a hairstylist. After obtaining his license from The Aveda Institute, he began his apprenticeship program at The Ted Gibson salon in the Flat Iron District, with Gibson immediately becoming his mentor and inspiration. Karim made a choice to branch out on his own into freelance working with The New York Post and creating O’Karim Studios specializing in styling, hair color , hair care , extensions , women’s and men’s haircutting . Karim then relocated to Atlanta Georgia reinvesting in his craft attending The Aveda Institute to receive 500 more hours required to be licensed in the State of Georgia , which led to the opportunity of working with Laurieann Gibson on her BET show Born To Dance . Shortly after the show wrapped inspired by the opportunity and developing a great working relationship with Gibson, Karim then moved to Los Angeles California to maintain the locks of Ms. Gibson and continuing on in the world of Beauty. He believes styling hair is like an artist picking up a brush to a canvas, creating each individual piece of art. He has also worked with Alicia Silverstone, Queen Latifah, Tika Sumptner, Sessilee Lopez, Ashley Dupree and a host of models from top agencies.

Laurieann Gibson: Born to Dance Episode 4 Style Tips

Laurieann Gibson’s hair on Born to Dance is as important as the choreography! Celebrity stylist Karim Odom will be sharing his style tips on how to create beautiful, flowing hair every week.

 

Ladies, shame the fool that says that your lovely Indique tresses don’t look like it’s growing from your scalp!

Maintenance is essential! Shampoo & deep condition your hair every 2-3 weeks. Ms. BoomKack deep conditions with an intensive conditioning treatment for 20 minutes with a plastic cap, followed by rinse and paddle brush dry. Take sections of dry hair and flatiron using a comb placed in front of the flatiron plates for a smooth and sleek look.

Laurieann Gibson:Born to Dance Episode 3 Style Tips

Laurieann Gibson’s hair on Born to Dance is as important as the choreography! Celebrity stylist Karim Odoms will be sharing his style tips on how to create beautiful, flowing hair every week.

 

 

 

Before curling and in between BoomKack styles, I always blow dry the hair with a paddle brush for beautiful bouncy hair with lots of movement.

For tonight’s look using a 1 1/2 curling iron, starting from the bottom working my way up to the top. Curl the hair away from the face and pin each curl to set. Once entire hair is curled, pinned and complete remove pins and finger comb hair upside down flip over lightly mist hair with holding spray and go!

Lay it on Thick!

 

 

The beach is a beautiful place- sun, sand, and surf-the hours could pass you by and you wouldn’t even notice.

But your skin would.

Do not let your beautiful, sunkissed glow be marred by dry skin! True Blue Spa Lay it on Thick Super Rich Body Cream has a permanent place in my beach bag. It is intensely moisturizing, leaves you touchably soft, and has a deliciously light scent that will have everyone on the boardwalk asking what you are wearing.

As necessary for a beach day as a swimsuit and towel…
