How To Properly Care For Red Coloured Hair

[bc_video video_id="6281479216001" account_id="2226196965001" player_id="rkljM4WDEg"] Red hair, the hardest to get - and the hardest to get rid of when you’re over it! Here's how to properly care for your mane. Types of Red: There are two types of red. Copper or warm reds and blue-based or cool reds. Copper or warm reds are very natural reds. Think Jessica Chastain, Jillian Moore or Canadian model Stacey McKenzie. Blue reds make lighter skin look dead. Think goth. Olive and darker toned skin for the most part looks better in the blue-based reds. The warm tones pull too much yellow from the skin when your skin is darker. How to take care of red-coloured hair: Do not over wash. You’ll watch the colour fade before your very eyes. Shampoo for colour-treated hair is a must. There are conditioners on the market with colour in them to help keep the colour from fading. Even if you think your hair doesn't need a conditioner, colour-protectant conditioners like this one by SACHAJUAN are designed to lock the colour in. It won't weigh your roots down or make your hair greasy, and it is ultimately to protect your colour. Hair products now also come with colour in them which is great to maintain colour. This Nutri-Color 3 in 1 Cocktail by Revlon comes in all the copper-red colours and blue shades. Use this product once a week right when you start washing your hair after you have coloured it. In terms of getting your hair re-coloured, it is best to do it in the 4-6 week period. You can also ask your stylist to make you a gloss that you can bring home and re-fresh your hair yourself with. Using heated tools: Turn down the heat. Hot irons will fade the colour dramatically. Don’t wait until the colour has faded to redo or touch up. Red is one of the few colours that’s better when there’s a little overlap. Every texture has a sweet spot for the temperature to curl or straighten and it's about 365-375 degrees. You don't need to increase it to 400 degrees. All of our product suggestions are independently researched and sourced by Cityline.

4 Ways to Effortlessly Style a Button Down Shirt

[bc_video video_id="6280440480001" account_id="2226196965001" player_id="rkljM4WDEg"] The button-down is arguably the most versatile piece you can own. Don’t believe me? I will prove it to you! Button downs come in all kinds of shapes and colours. They are easy to layer with and dress up and down. I'm obsessed with button-down shirts, so I'm going to show you 4 ways you can wear them! Outfit 1: Check out the men's section (or your partner's closet) Who says that every piece of clothing you buy has to come from the women’s section? You will be very surprised at all the great button-ups you will find in the men's section at your favourite department store or even thrift store. I have this menswear shirt that I got at value village or, as I like to call it, “VV boutique”. It’s a bit oversized which I don’t mind at all, and you can pair it with a cute t-shirt or cami underneath. If you wanted something more fitted, I also have this menswear shirt that I got from Zara and I paired it with a cute pair of H&M jeans. Outfit 2: Wear it off the shoulder Another easy way to make a button-down feel fun in the evening is by undoing a few of the top buttons of the shirt and sliding it off your shoulders. Do a half-tuck into your favourite pair of jeans and call it a night. Add a cute camisole or turtleneck underneath the button-down and accessorize. This Complete look is from Zara’s fall collection. Outfit 3: Layer it There are so many different ways to layer a button-down shirt. Not to mention, it automatically adds so much interest to your look by introducing more textures to it. Plus, it gives you a sophisticated look. Now instead of layering a sweater or jacket over your button-down, why not take that button-down and put it over a nice slip dress for a real high fashion look. This leopard print Zara dress is my fave and you can either put the blue shirt or this black shirt over it. Add some killer boots and you’re good to go. This screams high fashion! Outfit 4: Give it a high fashion upgrade Speaking of high fashion, the typical white button-up has been elevated to high fashion. Instead of going for a simple white shirt, look for a button-up that has an interesting twist or even a different fabrication. Here we have this green crochet Zara button-up that I’m over the moon for and I paired it with this cute leopard skirt! High fashion to the max. Or you can go for my silky H&M pantsuit look and Tracy, you know we love a pantsuit!
