At age 19, Kathleen Robertson made the move to Hollywood, where she landed her breakout role as the spoiled Clare Arnold teen drama Beverly Hills 90210. Since then, she\u2019s played a variety of roles on Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Medium, CSI: Miami and Rookie Blue, and has starred alongside Kelsey Grammer in the Starz original series Boss. The Hamilton, Ontario, native spoke with Real Style about her secret to healthy hair and other must-haves.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Real Style:<\/strong> So you\u2019ve done a lot of different things with your hair over the years.<\/p>\n

Kathleen:<\/strong> Yes. Every job I do, it seems they want something different for my hair. It\u2019s partly me too, you know. I think sometimes I feel that hair is such an identifying factor. You kind of need to figure out what are the shoes for the character and what\u2019s the hair. It seems to change a lot.<\/p>\n

Real Style:<\/strong> Do you like experimenting?<\/p>\n

Kathleen<\/strong>: I do. And I\u2019m not a hair person. It\u2019s my least favourite thing to do. I can do my own makeup very easily and quite well but I cannot do my hair. It\u2019s quite short right now and I really like it short. For Bates Motel, I did really long extensions because the character was very hippie-boho, so we had these really long hair extensions. But the character on Murder in the First is a homicide detective, so the short, choppy, boyish hair works really well for that character.<\/p>\n

Real Style<\/strong>: Who looks after your hair?<\/p>\n

Kathleen<\/strong>: Because I have to colour it so much for all these different roles, I like to always use my person here, even if it\u2019s shooting in a different city or country. Tracey Cunningham, who\u2019s a colourist here in Los Angeles, she has a salon in Beverly Hills.<\/p>\n

Real Style<\/strong>: Which products do you use so it doesn\u2019t get so damaged?<\/p>\n

Kathleen<\/strong>: I use everything, anything possible. My hair is very damaged because of all the colouring, flat ironing and curling. I\u2019m a big fan of masks, so I use masks a lot. On the weekends when I\u2019m not working, I\u2019ll put a mask in my hair and I\u2019ll leave it in for the whole weekend. I\u2019ll literally put half a cup of olive oil, or coconut oil, on my hair and I\u2019ll let it soak for the weekend and then rinse it out and it usually feels pretty good after doing that.<\/p>\n

Real Style<\/strong>: Does being on set take a toll on your skin as well?<\/p>\n

Kathleen<\/strong>: Definitely. I mean, it\u2019s sort of a full time job to keep your skin looking good when you have to have that level of makeup every day. I feel as I get older, it\u2019s more about the skin than anything else. It\u2019s like if your skin isn\u2019t looking good, you can\u2019t cover everything up. So I have a lot of different stuff that I use and do. I\u2019m lucky that I don\u2019t have acne or other issues. It\u2019s more about moisturizing. The first thing I have to get is a humidifier for the hotel room, because your skin is dehydrated. There\u2019s nothing you can do that\u2019s going to get rid of that. And then I like these little masks, they\u2019re called SK-II. They\u2019re pretty amazing. They\u2019re expensive but they\u2019re worth it. I use those for special things, like red carpet stuff, special events. And then the Clarisonic brush is also an absolute must-have. I use it all the time. Shu Uemura also makes these amazing facial cleansing oils.<\/p>\n

Real Style<\/strong>: When you\u2019re not on set, do you still wear makeup?<\/p>\n

Kathleen<\/strong>: I don\u2019t wear makeup when I\u2019m not working – I just can\u2019t be bothered – but I always wear sunscreen and moisturizer. I have very fair skin – I\u2019m Irish-Scottish, so I\u2019m not a sun person at all. I\u2019ve always been really diligent about staying out of the sun and wearing sunscreen.<\/p>\n

Real Style<\/strong>: What\u2019s your favourite look for the red carpet?<\/p>\n

Kathleen<\/strong>: Well, I\u2019m kind of stuck on really bright lips but I sometimes try to not do it because I do it all the time. I always feel good with the strong, bright lip when I\u2019m doing red carpet stuff.<\/p>\n

Real Style:<\/strong> Do you have a signature scent?<\/p>\n

Kathleen:<\/strong> Actually, I have three that I alternate between. I like Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir and I like this little rollerball scent called Child. It\u2019s amazing, and it sort of smells like gardenia. It\u2019s really pretty. I also love Kai.<\/p>\n

Real Style:<\/strong> Is there another star whom you admire, who always has a really great red carpet look?<\/p>\n

Kathleen:<\/strong> I think Cate Blanchett always looks amazing. I just love her. She has this strength about her and she always takes risks but she still looks elegant and classy. She can do no wrong!<\/p>\n
