Adam Reed, British hairdresser to stars including Madonna and Sophie Dahl, says hair slugging is hugely beneficial for keeping hair shiny in hot weather
There are many things we’ve learned in 2020, but one of the most abiding lessons is that the state of our hair is intricately connected to our psychological wellbeing. Frazzled tips are no trivial matter.
This is something Josh Wood understands better than most. ‘Hair is everything,’ he declares from the attic of his cottage in Oxfordshire, where he has decamped with his partner, Jonathan, and their rescue dog, Gandalf.
Wood has been colouring hair for more than 30 years. He maintains the resplendent manes of celebrities such as Kylie Minogue, Elle Macpherson and Saoirse Ronan from his boutique salon in Holland Park, where an appointment with him can cost £1,000. Or, if you are in Monte Carlo or Beijing and in need of primping, £10,000 will get him on a private jet.
