Lindsay Hubbard has a lot going on at the moment.
“Girl, we’re busy,” Hubbard, 39, told Us Weekly exclusively while promoting her partnership with Schwarzkopf. “We are really busy these days.”
With two reality shows — Summer House and In the City — and her newfound role as a mom to 16-month old daughter Gemma, Hubbard has found it difficult to lean into the self-care portion of her life.
“Since becoming a mom, I thought I was busy beforehand, but it’s just a whole different level of juggling everything,” Hubbard explained. “It’s a constant balancing act. Gemma is so active right now, filming two shows and, obviously, trying to just work around the clock and be the best provider.”
This is where her new routine comes in handy — a way for Hubbard to “keep as much control as possible” in her life.
“I don’t really have a lot of time to get to the hair salon as much as I used to,” she explained. “So the Schwarzkopf Keratin Color and all of their at-home products are really beneficial for working moms.”
Hubbard uses the eight new KERATÎME care and styling products, formulated with Multiplex Bonding Technology. They fit seamlessly into the reality star’s everyday routine, delivering professional-quality color, care and styling results. Using these products has allowed Hubbard to turn her at-home hair routine into a moment of self-care.
Hubbard’s goal was to “keep the blonde thriving in the middle of chaos” — and between Summer House and In the City, there’s a lot of that to go around.
Keep scrolling for more from Hubbard’s interview with Us:
You weren’t in The Hamptons every weekend during Summer House season 10. Did you miss it at all?
It’s always an adjustment in your first year of becoming a parent. You’re still shedding the postpartum hormones and trying to figure out what your cadence is as a new mom. On the weekends I didn’t have Gemma, it was either like, OK, I can either sit at home and be depressed that I’m not with my baby or I can go distract myself and be with my friends in The Hamptons. Going to The Hamptons was a great distraction. I definitely did miss it. I missed being in the know, but everyone always caught me up when I saw them.
Do you feel like the cast comes to you for advice because you’re a mom now?
I think people trust me more that I’m a mom. I also just think, in general, you guys have seen me grow up on TV. I’ve been on Summer House for 10 years. My entire 30s has been spent growing up in front of your eyes and going on every possible journey that you can go on. I wasn’t giving advice as a mom, but you have a new lens. You have more of a protective vibe to you. My experience as a mom, I think, has given me a better lens on how to properly help my castmates.
Who did you support the most during season 10?
It’s intimidating. It’s a lot, and we’re throwing parties and we’re cleaning up, and we’re all very comfortable around each other. For any new girl, they need support. I really tried to give the girls as much support as possible.
What can Bravo fans expect from In the City?
In the City is following our group of friends, but really focusing on our day-to- day lives. That next chapter. We have people who are married, people who are getting separated, people who are single moms and people trying to figure out if they should have babies — if the timing’s right for them and their partner. It’s real life, adult decisions. These are, like, some of the biggest decisions we have to make in life as adults. I really am excited for the world to be able to experience this niche group. I think it’s what has been missing on television. We’re in that next chapter. We’re making real big life adult decisions together, and we’re trying to navigate it and figure it out. Sometimes it gets a little messy, and you lean on your friends.
Do you think that you and your castmates — whether it be on Summer House or In the City — have the ability to survive anything and come out on the other side?
I think we’ve seen a lot of different situations play out across a lot of different shows and casts on Bravo. It’s always hard to see the other side in the moment, but I have faith that whatever anyone might be going through at any given time, we lean on each other and we can get through it.
We haven’t seen Gemma on Summer House, but will she make an appearance on In the City?
She is such a star.
Since we’re talking about your haircare routine, have you started thinking about how you’re going to discuss beauty standards with Gemma?
I’m actually terrified, I am getting my makeup done at home and we have now started pulling out brushes. My makeup artist will give Gemma a brush, and Gemma will start fake putting blush on me. She has a little tiny wooden, fake blow dryer. I’m like, ‘Oh no, we’re in trouble. We’re in big trouble.’ It’s interesting, Gemma is a girly girl, but she’s also such an athlete tom boy. She’s very strong, so we’ll see which direction she goes. I’m sure she’ll do it all. I gave birth to my twin.
In the City premieres on Bravo Tuesday, May 19 at 9:00 p.m.
