You beauty! Josh Wood blending wand

Annabel Rivkin's cabinet of wonders
Annabel Rivkin28 February 2014

Yes, I know that this Cabinet Of Wonders is about products, not people. And I’ll get to that, but first I need to introduce you to Josh Wood, who you’ve probably heard of, but just in case…

Josh is probably the best colourist in London, possibly the world. Seen a honey blonde on the ES Flashbulb pages with hair that looks kissed by sunlight yet soothed by nectar? Most likely one of his. Once you’ve visited Josh you don’t look back — largely because he’s a wizard, but also because he has the heart of an ox, the wisdom of Solomon and he makes his clients’ lives richer. But the thing is, most of them are already quite rich because Josh is a rather exclusive proposition with his mews-house atelier and blinding address book.

So how does one dial into his sorcery? What is the entry point? Simple: it’s M&S. He has crafted a beautiful, expensively scented range for good old Marks and my stand-out favourite is the blending wand.

This little bobby dazzler comes in four delicately toned shades (very blonde to very dark, basically) and is painted on to grey roots and regrowth before you dry and style it in. It completely hides that in-between appointments degradation from the eagle-est of eyes for three shampoos and also — this is the bonus prize — adds a whiff of volume at the roots. Magic. For £12.50.
