From Bowie To The Beckhams: Why This Cel...

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

The UK's King of Colour just told Kelly she should go full bleach blonde. Also, he's the reason David Bowie's hair looked so iconic!

Let's be honest...most of us have no idea what our actual hair colour is. We're out here saying we're "nearly black" when we're actually dark blonde, or claiming we've "always been blonde" when we're clearly brunette. This week, Kelly's sitting down with Josh Wood - the man who's coloured the hair of David Bowie, the entire Beckham family, and basically every supermodel who's walked for Marc Jacobs. We're talking 30 years of London hair domination, Fashion Week chaos, and why he decided to give away all his celebrity secrets during lockdown.

He's about to blow up everything you think you know about colouring your hair at home. From why that "one shade fits all" approach is completely wrong, to the real reason your colour goes patchy (spoiler: you're probably choosing too dark), Josh breaks down the biggest mistakes everyone makes. Plus, he reveals his Aussie dream client (hint: it's Celeste Barber) and explains why "lived-in" looks are taking over from high-maintenance highlights.
