Would you get a cap highlight???
You are amazing💓
My 2000s me probably yes now my self Will kill me
Brad Mondo no sir
I had one, it hurts when pulling it through..
Heck no! I got one and hurt SO bad. I have curly hair btw
“I don’t want you to get ideas”
I literally already have a cap on my head
So how did it go?
Bruna Gama I should have taped it. Brad Mondo would have appreciated the mess I made.... seeing as quarantine could last months, I think I’m just going to keep colouring it until I either get what I want or it all falls out 😂
Christine Downey just dye it a color like red or orange so it blends in with your normal color
Gurl just go for it, nobody is gonna see anybody for months 😂
😭
My sisters and I been cap highlighting at home for almost 10 years and I have three pro tips to make it flawless.
1. Use a latex cap if you are not allergic. These are more thin and will keep it close to the scalp. If it doesn’t have holes the better cause it prevents the bleach from passing out the cap.
2. Use a thin crochet needle to take the hair out. To make thin sections just insert the needle in a 45 degree angle from the head without doing a swirl. If you swirl the needle you’ll end up with chunky highlights. It’s like stabbing but don’t hurt yourself!
3. When you finish the sectioning throughout the head, comb the hair that is out. Make sure that the cap is the closest to the scalp as possible.
Give it a like so Brad can see it!
Flor Aranda *casually gives advice to a professional*
Shes giving advice to everyone from her experience which is nice and appreciated 👍
Come or comb? Or did y’all mean something else?
@@Upper_echelon_exotics LOL 😂😆 👏
So, only 10 minutes work but we have to come every single time... Impossible!! 😁
Flor Aranda what bleach /developer and toner do you use ? You have dark ish hair like me
I'm a cosmetologist and went to Beauty School back in '99 when they were still mainly doing cap highlights. Once or twice a year I do them on myself and always have good results! (I would never attempt full foils on myself- and the awesome thing about cap highlights is a consistent processing time because it's applied all at once.) Here are some tips from the years of practice I've had with this method: Wash and deep condition hair first, (I do it the night before.) and make sure it's bone dry to start. Apply a leave-in conditioner and/or serum from the mid shaft down; concentrating on the ends, and flatiron smooth to prevent snagging. I start with a part slightly off center because there's a row of holes going up the middle of the cap and the hair pulls out sparse along the part. Make sure hair is thoroughly brushed before putting the cap on. I like the Conair Pro Extend A Cap and metal hook (plastic hooks are garbage!)... pulling the hair through evenly takes practice. Go slow and do it gently, you can always pull out more. (And actually if you pull too much through, you can go underneath and pull the hair back under the cap using a rat tail comb.) After a strand of hair is pulled out through the hole, there's often a loop of hair that hasn't fully gotten past- use a comb as you go, and comb that loop out before grabbing for more hair- sometimes the loop of hair doesn't seem like alot, but it is. I stagger and pull more hair through every other hole so it doesn't come out looking like spaghetti. I usually pull it out heavier around the face, and I make extra holes in between, especially around the hair line. Sometimes I do every other hole (or starting that way just below the crown/using all the holes on top). I usually take it down to the occipital in back (but once in a while I go all the way down) and pull out in a pattern that angles towards the face up front- this looks especially amazing with an a-line bob! (I use a 3 way mirror for the sides.) Doing the back is tedious as hell and requires the use of a hand mirror, alot of self talk, and listening to music!!! I start at the top, and work my way down, one row at a time. I clip the hair up and out of the way with each row. It takes longer, but I have less tangles and snags with this method. Always look out for strands that got pulled through other holes- sometimes you'll find an open hole that's lost it's hair, so check row by row and make sure it's even. When finished, grasp sections side by side to make sure what's been pulled will give a balanced result; adjust if needed... The hair left underneath, I put into a low ponytail, wind up like a snail, clip, and tuck under the plastic flap in the back (Extend A Cap)... Almost always, instead of full on bleaching, I make a color remover (or "soap cap") formula because it's more gentle. I mostly use 10 volume developer because I have alot of fine hair that's always porous and soaks up color like a sponge. The lower volume developer allows me more time to get a thorough application. Sometimes I use an accent color instead of lightener. (Orange on Auburn, or Melon on Blonde...) Sometimes I go for a balayage effect and paint on the color or lightener halfway down. I've also used a cap for lowlights, or adding ash to tone down red. Just remember to think of the pre punched holes more as a guide. You don't have to use all of them and with the same amount of hair! Try to keep the color or lightener off the openings, use a formula as thick as possible, don't press on the cap, and make sure hair is fully dry- this prevents bleeding, or "saturn rings" as they were called in school. I was taught to rinse with the cap still on- just work quickly so all that water mixed with lightener doesn't seep onto the other hair. Apply lots of conditioner after a semi decent rinse and pull the cap off. Then you can rinse for real, shampoo and condition. Caps are versatile as hell if you give them a chance!! They're an inexpensive way to add some dimension to all over color; or downplay something like a dark band, (from a grown out root smudge ), an over saturated mid shaft, or ends that are murky or overly bright. They yield professional results, and all for under $20 if used with patience, care, and consideration.
Thanks for this!
I poked the holes in the cap before putting it on cause I found it made doing the back easier. I didnt poke the small holes without the circle and left those for me to decide as I saw necessary. I listened to a lot of the tips you left. I think next time ill have someone help me do the back. tysm
My hairdressers use them and it's hurt so bad, she had always used foils until this point but when she used the cap I was holding back tears, I stopped bleaching my hair that day
@@sianwright615 she's bad at it. Many Brazilian salons use the cap and of you know how to pull it doesn't hurt
Great explanation!! Thank you! Can you explain a little more about the formula you use? Ingredients and amounts
I was like he's starting on the roots?!? And then immediately realized it's a mannequin head with no heat at the scalp 😂
Lol 😂
Lmao that’s something I would’ve thought
i wonder if that would matter anything in this case because of the cap? i have no idea
@@annieangel97 on humans you would still have enough heat to make the ugly hot roots happen.. so yeah dont start at the roots
Good point, he shouldn’t have done it. But it wasn’t really an instructional video.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how pretty Brad's eyes look with darker hair?
Honestly though it looks fantastic on him!
I prefer it. I feel like the white blonde makes his eyes look brighter but this looks more natural and suits his skin tone
@@Bobbycakess Right tho?! He's stunning!
Victoria Grass yes I love his dark hair
I really love the darker hair on him 🤷🏼♀️
okay but a moment to appreciate brad's looks, he serving us everyday
also the dark hair oml 🥺🥺
It’s “oh my lord” or “on my life” depending on the context 😂
So true, he's absolutely gorgeous, I really love his look today
You look SO good and natural and sexy and fresh with that hair and all the look babe ❤
Yoosung!!
Trueee This hair makes him look so hot
Some tips if you’re doing this at home: start from the top and work your way down when plucking out hair, otherwise you will start pulling hair out that has already been taken out below it causing massive tangling. Brush the hair once you’re done plucking to make sure any “loops” are brushed out. To take off the cap after colouring easier or if your hair is delicate, rinse your hair with the cap still on then take it off and wash properly. It should just slide off with ease! I’ve done my hair this way successfully quite a few times.
Thank you!!!
This is really good advice, and I'm also someone who has done this MANY times with great results!
Okay but if want to do a darker color to other parts (the non highlighted ones) while doing this cap method then what would you suggest? And how do you maintain the highlights like redoing them and stuff?
i plan to do this with blonde highlights and then go in and do purple highlights
I 100% agree with starting from the top and also rinsing the hair before removing the cap.
My hairdresser has been using a cap to highlight my hair for many, many years. He always started at the top and also rinsed it off before taking it off. I have very short hair and he always cut my hair before using the cap, that way you get much closer to the scalp and it's easier to pull the hair through anyway. I love the results I have always gotten with him using the cap and I've never allowed anyone to use foil for my highlights, ever! There is just so much more random, beautiful color with a cap. The key is to never let it go too long before highlighting it again. He always used Blondor Multi Power Lightener which is very easy on the hair and provided multiple different colors instead of just one or two shades. Each time I get it highlighted it just keeps adding different color. He has never used anything other than Blondor on my hair all these years and I've never once had any damage to my hair.
Sadly my hairstylist and really good friend since childhood passed away suddenly in Nov. I've not found another hairstylist yet and not sure they will want to use the cap or the brand of highlighter I love. But, I need to find one soon!
To add, yes rinse the hair before you remove the cap but add conditioner if you used bleach so the hair slides out of the holes easier.
I really appreciate that brad isn’t to proud to admit when he’s “ wrong” ( like wrong isn’t the right word but I don’t know how else to say it) I totally agree that you’re going to get better results and quality when at the salon and foils, but for a quick budget friendly option this wasn’t bad 😁
Yes I do this all the time and spend only like $20 and I always get compliments on my hair
He literally said he would let someone out of the salon looking like this, which is amazing, considering this is easy to do at home, and most home-jobs do not look like they were done in a salon!
Brad is looking healthier than ever and I didn’t know it was possible but he GLOW ✨✨✨
Itw because he looks better, younger & healthier with dark hair
It's the hair, he's beautiful as a brunette!
Jayme Ann I know, it makes me so sad when he says he looks terrible as a brunette!
I think the contrast between his skin and brown hair compared to when he has blonde hair looks great
Hes literally glowing
I was going to say “are we just going to ignore a brunette brad?” But then I saw the comments and thank god I’m not the only one. You look AMAZING and so glowing Brad!!
Same. It seems slightly darker again in this video and I'm loving it
"Dirty blonde/brunette" Brad is absolutely stunning!!!!
I love whatever he is doing to his hair currently, and really hope he explains to us in a future video.
Personally I am a huge fan of the blurred line between blonde/brunette.
"Mushroom blonde/ brunette" is what it is called I think?
I am not a hair dresser.
Danielle Lillie omg I didn't realize until I read this💀💀💀
Novella Atkisson it’s called “Bronde” luv✨❤️
Novella Atkisson or faun, just please don’t say mushroom blonde😭 that sounds so drab
When brad said “don’t get any ideas to do this at home” but I’m omw to Sally’s to buy the products 😂
I grew up with my grandmother having a beauty shop in her house. The cap highlighting was the thing . It’s how I’ve done my hair for years. I just can’t afford to have it highlighted every few months. The trick, I’ve learned is moderation. Tiny strands not chunks. And when I do get my hair cut at the salon, she always said I did an amazing job. Practice makes perfect. Lol
Brad: I don’t want you to get ideas at home. Me: stuck at home quarantining for who knows how long getting ideas
im doing it today hahaha - wish me luck
I deadass went blonde from dark brown cuz I got hella bored 🤣
Lærke Besand please say if it worked! 😂
Well my hair is gone cause i got some gold ideas
me and my mom decided that we’re going to highlight my hair with foils instead, brad scared me to much😂😂😂
I love how this channel is 95% him saying “this method is bad” at the start and then at the end it always is contradicted
Brad's channel brand is dumb luck XD Just constant surprised pikachu
He is still a hairdresser even if the method is bad 😂
He's a pro, unlike our unknowledged ass doing this out an impulsive decision making
How is he contradicting himself? 🤔 any video I’ve watched he makes it perfectly aware that it works some people but not all. And he still recommends people to get their hair professionally done and not try to do it themselves but okay.
@@Stephfleshman17 it was a compliment to brad because it means that he always does a good job/has a good end result but okay,
i lowkey enjoy the inconsistency of the size of blonde. it’s thicker and thinner and adds like illusion of dimension and volume
I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve been wanting the 90’s chunky look lately🤷♀️
Same!
We're about to go into 2024 and I want them too!
Brad: don't get any ideas
Me: sees finished product...
Me: definitely getting ideas
@mehazad rahman I never had any "pain". But I don't feel like I ever got the cap off as easy as Brad did or as easy as I've seen others pull it off. I always had to cut the cap off! And the hair underneath the cap was a tangled mess!! I do have a lot of very thick hair though.....
Brad looks like he's about to do the choreography for black swan
Sawsan Boeisa broooooo I swearrr Armyyyy got lifeee
... ARMYYYYYYYYY
he's doing his thanggg
Oh I thought you meant the movie Black Swan!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I literally said the same thing once the video started.
One thing I love about Brad is that even if he is skeptical about something or doesn’t like it, he still tries it and makes the best about it!
I smiled a lot during this video having flash backs to my mama and I doing our hair with the cap.
Brad: Don't get any ideas
Me: already looking for a cap
I so have one, it's midnight and I am wondering if I can do this now, but I have no toner...tic, toc, tic, toc...
CC The Fashion Yorkie did you do it?
I already buy it haha
@@poppybrown1098 No BUT I painted highlights instead and I did a black dye and conditioner rinse as a toner and OMG
666 likes I think is appropriate for this comment
Conspiracy theory: Brad went brunette so nobody would recognize him buying supplies for cap highlighting.
Stefanie Schweigler omg! Mystery solved.

This is hilarious
Wuuuuuut 😲
this is so funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
PRO-CAP DISSERTATION:💁🏼♀️
It’s strange to me that it’s strange to this younger generation to use a cap for highlights.🤨
I’ve been highlighting my own hair for over 40 years & mostly use a cap!
I went to beauty school in the 80’s so it was definitely the norm to use highlighting caps.
However I’ve also had long hair most of my life like mid back to waist length so the type of cap matters for long hair!
The tight rubber caps are a big painful NO for long hair! The rubber is too tight & the long hair just tangles up under the cap every pull until you can’t even get any hair out. It is brutally painful bc the long hair mats up way too bad underneath.
The foam cap is most comfortable for long hair. The hair slides through with ease. But I avoided the foam cap back in the day before dark roots were in style because the thickness of the foam made it impossible to get highlights close to the scalp.
Now with a root smudge it would be fine to use a foam cap.
I still usually just use the same plastic cap as in the video so it’s not too tight, is thin & loose & close to the scalp.
As for control of highlight placement:
Yes you can control it with a cap once you learn the skills of pulling through the cap!
It’s just like to me foils seem too streaky & tedious with less control because of the time differentiation of applying the bleach meaning it takes too darn long to pick out foil pieces & get the volume of bleach equalized to the variable in processing time…that would drive me crazy!
So basically, with the cap you learn that it matters how the hair lays under the caps to where you want to place the highlights. Center part with hair straight down around the head & slightly back around face is best on long hair.
But even before I put the cap on, with long hair, I make sure hair is well conditioned, dry, then very straight flat ironed bc the more slick & straight the hair is the easier it is for it to slide through when you pull it eliminating the snagging looping & pain!
Next you learn that you can also adjust placement by how deep you dig with the needle…I usually let the needle just touch the scalp then pull it up at an angle which is the same direction on one side then opposite on the other side.
And if the needle poke is painful you’re doing it wrong! No! You’re not supposed to stab the person in the scalp with the needle!
Go in with the needle at an angle to pop the plastic then tap the scalp, & grab the hair at an angle using the underside of the cap to press the needle up & out.
Then you learn where to pull face framing pieces by how you laid the hair under the cap. You should see the hairline & pull money pieces on sides of the part.
You also learn to get variation by pulling more where you want more color!
The pre made holes & circles are given as a grid you learn to use for placement & you can also make your own hole wherever you want a highlight.
You also learn that you do not have to pull hair through using the entire cap every time.
For my hair sometimes I only pull the crown & around my face hairline.
Or I pull most at crown & around hairline but sparsely in the lower back.
You also don’t have to just slap bleach all over at the same time.
Like since I always have highlights on the ends I do the roots & mid strands first then pull the bleach through ends at the last few minutes.
You can also use color variations.
As for hole bleed through it is avoided by 1. Don’t dig in the hole to make it any bigger than the needle & 2. Use bleach mixture that is thick like cake icing & it won’t be liquid enough to seep into the holes.
Finally, I almost fainted when you pulled the cap off with bleach still on the hair!
If that had been a human she surely would have punched you from the pain & you risked bad hair breakage!
Lol
Always shampoo first with the cap On!
For long hair I leave the shampoo ON to remove the cap & it slides right off nicely~pain & tangle free!
So now that root smudge & root tap is in style cap highlighting is the best way to go!
I have long layers in the crown, I pull heavily in the crown & around my face, apply bleach to roots & mid strands first, then through the ends, with shampoo on, remove cap, shampoo & condition well, rinse comb out then root smudge, rinse & done!
No toner even needed!
Every 3-4th time I pull a few highlights in lower back as well.
So there you have it!
The cap is the winner hands down once you know how to use it!
Y’all can wrestle with that foil business all day long but I’ll be done & onto something else while y’all still weaving & folding & mixing! Lol
You’re welcome,
from a highlighted 60’s baby!
🦋✌🏼☮️✌🏼🦋
Thank you so much for this! You've helped a LOT of people understand what should and can be a simple, fun, and effective process.
(Like you, I don't actually understand why other folks think cap highlights are weird. I did this to my hair in the early 2000s and it looked AMAZING!)
Appreciate you ❤
Thank you, I do my cap highlights too
Do caps work for a line Bob or short hair
Thank you for this! I’m actually wondering if you did foils at all in the 80s or was that a 90s thing?
I'm very curious to see how a curly headed girl like me is gonna pull those little strings of hair with no pain and absolute grace.
I do mine, often, I straighten my hair first, and you are actually supposed to rinse the bleach off before you remove the cap, it slides off no problem. My curls pop like crazy when I do this.
painful even for people with fine straight hair
Everyone wants naturally curly hair then you learn about the ✨struggle✨ of basic hair care and daily hair routines
My friend used a new cap but didn't enlarge the tiny holes and tortured my scalp the entire time. She was talking so much as she pulled my thick hair through each hole. She covered my grey hair really well but my highlights weren't as bright as I wanted. Never ever again would I use a cap for highlighting. My scalp was sore for a few days afterwards.
@@christinamartinez8132 omg that looks painful ash. Did u go to a professional afterwards tho??
Why does this remind me of Jennifer Aniston’s hair on friends
It does!!
Going through all comments if anyone recognized it too 😂
Could you IMAGINE the hair everyone wanted was cap highlighted?!?!??!
Absolutely!
Yes she does
Brad: "You look absolutely stunning"
Me: Brushing my teeth in an oversized hoodie with my hair piled on top of my head.
alice sometimes sings bro I feel I’m wearing the same bun in my hair since I got in the shower yesterday around 6 lmao it’s been almost 24 hours
I started watching Brad when I was SO sick! Coughing, nose falling off, sweaty, gross. I was like: "there's no way you're not making fun of me..."
I was just typing the same comment:DD
Me with my oh so so messed up hair that looks dead
Meh: Are u sure about that
Feeling related
Thank you for your honest review. As a DIYer who will be a student on a budget, this is very encouraging. I'd only add a few foils around the hairline. 🙂 Also read about using caps for highlights *and* lowlights with face-framing foils. Want to try this.
The second you’re done learning and growing in any field especially hair you’re done and you’re basically saying that you know everything which is never true, I love it Brad always continue to learn and find new tricks and tips❤
2019 Brad: I don't like brown hair
2020 Brad: Is suddenly brunette and not even acknowledging it
I AM SO SHOOK 😍😍😍 I'M NOT EVEN A DRAMATIC PERSON AT ALL BUT I LITERALLY CANNOT BREATHE RN I---
RIGHT?!? He didn’t even acknowledge it and he looks SO GOOD!
It could be that he is letting his hair grow to do a redo. Give his hair a break before it goes through a round of highlights. I prefer the dark hair though..
@@jjcymbolic cannot even put into words how attracted I am to him rn, he looked great blonde of course but this new darker look is just 😍😍😍 idk how bc I'm a girl attracted to girls and he's into men but WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK BRAD I PROMISE PLS 😂😭
just existing I get what your saying but I think it is more of a dark blonde. Or how i sometimes call it ‘pepper and salt blonde’ 😂
@@macyr1132 that comment was gold
This is honestly my favourite of Brad’s looks.
That hair, that shirt, that face.
Yasssssssssss * *hair flip* *
Abigail Pollock agreed!!
Abigail Pollock dude agreed 😍
"Maybe cap highlighting is gonna be the future?". My grandma did this when she was young 30 years ago. It was very popular back then.
It was called "Coupe Soleil".
This looks better than anything I have ever gotten at a saloon, no matter if I paid 60 or 180 Dollar 😅
Brad: “I don’t like brown hair”
2020 Brad: *dyes hair brown*
Good for u Brad! Plus u look SO good with darker hair. Werk. IT.
I got black hair that looks hazelnut brown in the sun.... It's werid pls send help
honestly tho brad looks good in everything
He does look so good with brown hair! It makes him look younger 😍
I though you wrote:
Twerk it
BRAD I LITERALLY GAVE MYSELF CAP HIGHLIGHTS YESTERDAY AND THEY TURNED OUT GOOD IM SO SHOOK ARE TOU PROUD!?!?! may have used 40 vol developer but SHUSHHH
40 ?!??????????!!!! MAAM
When brad tells me I look stunning my confidence level was like down to the earth’s crust to space! Love you!
I love capping!! Did it in the 80’s and 90’s, early 2000’s. Started growing out my grey last year. Went back to a cap highlight to make an easier transition. All grey now, but still love the look of capping.
Brad is literally the hairdresser of my dreams. He seems liked he would really listen to what you want and what you're going for and not just say "mhm" and give you something you don't love. I love all of his videos💜
Oh my goodness he liked my comment!!! Thank you so much 💗💗💗
I know right???? He sounds like he really knows what he is doing and would be so nice and listen to what you wanted. I would love for him to do my hair
Unless you're the mannequin 😂
But yaaassss-- he seems to genuinely care about his work and making people happy 💜
ok but this looks exactly like Jennifer aniston's hair
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING
Omg yes!
Yeah her hair hasn’t changed much since the 90s 🤷🏼♀️😂
I mean, why change a working recipe?
More specifically she has "The Rachel"
Most honest & real cap highlighting video I have seen! Brad you’re awesome! Thanks!!!!
I will say I have done this three times, it doesn’t look terrible it’s super affordable and when styled it looks great!
Edit- my hair is black and this still turned out great
When he takes the cap off, it looks like he just put spaghetti noodles on her head
It really does haha
I thought it looked like long maggots 😂😂
@@millennialdisposition same wtf its pretty disgusting hahahh
Or 1000 jelly fish XD
Katie Anderson 8
She looks like Jennifer Aniston 😂😂 petition to call her Jenniquin?
I thought the exact same thing lol
Cheyenna Boley hahaha i love this
Jennifer Aniquin
Omg i was gonna say that
Cheyenna Boley i has the same thought!
Thank you so much for this video, I just lightened my hair for the very first time today, and while I only used a 20 developer and I do like the color, I VERY much learned that *I* will not be coordinated enough to be doing a babylight weave pick-out on myself anytime soon.
Quick thing-
If you get really shook about the amount the hook is pulling...its basically just a cotton doily crochet hook, they come in many, and MUCH smaller sizes than you get in the box kits. Look for steel needles, the bigger the number, the smaller the needle.
Ive got one more ounce of bleach powder...might go grab my cap and hit it again...
Thanks so much for the guidance Brad!!! You are literally the best thing elevating my standards on my own DIY dye jobs right now!! Wouldnt have tried lightening without you.
I’m a hairdresser and I love foils, I’m ordering 8 caps and I’m so excited to do my own hair. I’m gonna leave the front hairline out and foil it separately I think. Yay. And also probably tease what I pull out for a blended effect
i was thinking I would do that....how did it work if you did it? recommend?
NOOOOOOOOO!!!! DO NOT TEASE HAIR WITH A CAP!!!!!!!!
@@cUCH1337NPC if you tease, you won’t be able to pull the cap off! Super important to gently comb everything smooth as you’re working around the head and pulling through holes!!
As a professional that still does cap highlights sometimes, there are a few tricks.
1) use caps that are one layer and don’t have premade holes.
2) put the under a dryer for about 10 mins after you pull it through to help shrink the holes around the hair to help with bleed spots
3) use pro hooks, they are smaller and sharper so they don’t make as big of holes
And don’t pull off the cap before rinsing out the hair!
Jenni Miles I’m a hairstylist also and ocassionally still use caps, I cringed when he pulled out the cap before rinsing. He should know better!
I am not a professional however did go to cosmetology school and remember that we rinsed and added conditioner to the hair before removing the cap (It was mid 90’s and they still taught the cap at that point)
I agree. That should have been rinsed before, to prevent breakage after the treatment, if nothing else. He probably didn't, because he knew what it would look like when he pulled it off (spaghetti hair, as he called it) and wanted to show that off. Just glad it's a mannequin head.
Also another thing I would add is he pokes in on an angle which you should get the hair from exactly where the hole is! still love him though :)
Not a hairdresser. What is the issue taking cap off before washing? The colour will be removed straight away and it's finished processing?
Brad: "you look absolutely stunning"
Me, in the middle of the night, unable to get back to sleep because of depression and intrusive thoughts, tears streaming down my face: thank you
Stephanie idk you but your beautiful and Jesus loves you!!🙏💜
I have intrusive thoughts too have you tried medication
@@SatiDevi444 I'm on antidepressants, melatonin, and prescription sleep meds. 😂 If you meant meditation, I have tried many times but can't relax or focus enough for it to work.
@@purplelover128 I take those too. Meditation is good in a hot bath with some relaxing music or even just drawing is a form of meditation, the Buddhist monks make Mandela's.
@@dr.e6083 that's very sweet of you! Proper management is the goal!
This works well on my extremely thick hair so that I dont overprocess. A full foil application on my hair takes like 4 hours and I always end up with damage. I prefer this way
I am sitting here with period cramps, feeling like the ugliest shoot ever and you are telling me that I look absolutely stunning. You know what? I needed this today. Thank you (crying emoji)
Okay,
1. I’m LIVING for this hair color on you! 😍
2. As a stylist, I still use a cap.. only on really short hair when it’s the best way to achieve the blonde they want! (Which is pretty rare. Lol)
I personally feel like the highlights from a cap on long hair are too concentrated and there is no rhyme or reason to it! With foil you get to cocktail your foil pattern for each client!
Paige Ammann I totally agree cap highlights are perfect for a really short hair especially on guys. You can do a light dusting or you can go and make them heavier. Very fast and easy great results . But on longhair no . ❤️
me: *shoving a soft pretzel bite in my mouth*
brad: "you look absolutely stunning today"
got any left
LMAO
Lol eating popcorn in bed with hair that needs washed. Yep I'm stunning.
Me to 😂 i was eating falafel
Lmao I was literally taking a bite out of a cake!
Now as someone who has finally figured out the proper way to cap highlight and foil highlight ( it's super hard to foul highlight the back of my head) so I talked to a few hair dressers that have used the cap an know the ins an outs, so as soon. As I started following her instructions I started getting really nice results that even my boy ( who is a professional hair stylist) was pretty impressed with my results hehehe but with Brad's helpful tips in toners and bleach washes and what not, they have been stunning
Hi Brad, I did cap highlighting for years and loved it. It takes practice but can get it to perfection. Love you🥰💞😇
Me: **in my pajamas, haven't washed hair in 3 days because I'm lazy**
Brad: you look absolutely stunning today
Me: ( . _.)
Lady Lynx right lol
*sitting with my red face out and hair mask*
I haven’t washed my hair for a week life isn’t it rn
I am also sitting with dirty hair... 😔 Planning to color my hair at home later today 😂 but thanks God, no box dye. 💪
Right!
As if 3 days is late 😂😂😂
Brad: “you look absolutely stunning today”
Me: naked and an absolute mess, hair in a bun watching TH-cam videos mindlessly eating a bag of lays.
Tara Poole 🤣
Fucking literally same, I got a naked, hair in a bun, just got out of the shower-esque look going on.
Same here!
😂😂 I almost choke on my chips reading this 😂😂
Girl at least you have some dignity, i was eating Nutella from the tub 😭
I showed this to my mom. She said you should try doing it by brushing the hair back and starting at the top, because thats how you get face framing highlights. That’s how my mom did it in the 90s/00s. She said it’s a little easier to start. BUT I love the way it turned out.
Your actuality supposed to brush your hair the way you USUALLY style it daily
I used these box cap kits in the early 2000s and it always came out good. I then started going to a salon who messed up my foils and I had uneven crooked marks from the foils. Never happened with the cap kit LOL. I just ordered one from WalMart can't wait haha.
I refuse to believe that Brad would go brunette. Conspiracy theory: Brad is on vacation and this is a super good impression by Eric.
Schuyler Dade bruh I know this is stupid but look closely and it really looks more like Eric
Ik especially after his _____to______ transformations and him saying how he would rather be red that brunette lol
Schuyler Dade I agree
Omg I wish he’d see this comment 😂
Living for this
Brad’s look is giving hot magicians assistant vibes. No idea why.
Izzy Deans yeah like he’s the one that would get in the box to be cut
why is this so specific
I got sexy ice skater...
shes_sarah_shaped oh yeah...
Izzy Deans 😂😂
We love the journeys you take us on Brad.🙂❤
You are always enjoyable to watch. Keep being your beautiful self Mondo! Yes! I would and I WILL be doing cap highlights 🥰💕
U should make a video where u set up Manny Kin w 4 sections of hair w all different strengths bleach and explain what the different 10 20 30 40 all look like starting from the same like neutral brown
That's a good odea!
Yes get this to the top so he sees! Or just 4 diff mannequins since he makes good $$
Good idea! But pls correct me if I’m wrong.. don’t you choose the level depending on how dark your hair is? Like the darker your hair, the higher level? So it wouldn’t make a difference on the same neutral brown hair? I have virgin hair so I literally don’t know crap but if it has nothing to do with that, then it’s a great idea lol
I hope he sees this great idea 😩
Cynthia Lopez op might mean either different strengths of developer or just how light it gets considering how long you leave the bleach in... probably both
I love how he’s never negatively judgmental, he’s always like oh that doesn’t look bad I was wrong my bad you look stunning
I used to get cap highlights in the salon back in the day and I always loved how they turned out.
Who else just appreciates brad for trying out the things that we r too scared/lazy to try out 😂
The second Brad comes on screen, “Oooooh BRAAAAD! THAT HAIR 😍” seriously loving this dark hair on you!! It’s so so so GOOD!
When taking out the cap on the hair... It looks like you're draining spaghetti noodles on the colander. 🤭
Omg yes I thought the exact same thing
Same.
tfw you realize the holes in the colander are too big and dinner is about to go down the drain.
eloybeloy and i really thought it's a strainer 😂😂
@@schuylerdade that the worst thing EVER!!
Omg! I love Brad’s reactions!
I just had my hair done at a Paris top salon for the second time and your models hair looks much more even than mine. I think I should do my own highlights through a cap 😊
The end result looks like Jennifer Aniston's severed head.
sli1315 lmfao im so dead
Loollll. Now I cant unseen it
Exactly what i thought too!!
💀
literally thought the same thing, i promise
I bought a silicone cap, hopefully it will be easier than the plastic cap. I feel much better about using it after this video. In the 80's we called them frosting caps. Thx Brad!
Omgosh, you are so funny! Thank you for cheering me up! I just loved it!🥰❤️
Brad: "you look absolutely stunning"
me: * lying down with a double chin* oh thank you!
Lina Hegazy so accurate
I like that your doing something newish to you, just like it would be for us. LMAO.
Meeeeeee omg
The mannequin's hair looks better than my hair has ever looked.
yep, mine too...I just got salty at a mannequin... ugh !
Yesenia it’s hair before he dried it and stuff it looked like noodles
This mannequin cost about 100 or 200 dollars
*Ms.mannaequins
Cause it's fake lol
I love Brad's channel. The hair looks pretty.
I’m now really thinking of doing this because I’m bored on the holidays
"Listen, I don't want you to get any ideas at home"
Too late Brad too late
Giselle Frias he literally released this vid like two days after I used a cap 😂😂
🤣🤣
Giselle Frias 😂
LMAO righhtt
Kelsey Williams but did it turn out good though??
Brad: I don’t want you to get ideas at home. Me: *getting ideas at home*
Same
I did cap highlights, bought the box for $10 at walmart, cause poor girls pretty good at doing hair at home with box dyes, and it was the first time I have ever put bleach in my hair, and it turned out awesome!! Like the hair on my head was stylin! 1st time with bleach was a good experience!
What bleach did you use ? Also did you use toner
@@rubysolis7941 just one from Walmart, I can't remember the brand though
Honesty I love them cap dye. Honey blonde hair I come lol.
Did this for the first time today using a kit for brunette hair and IT ROCKS!! Bought two more kits
11:06 “so, here’s the thing”
That’s when I immediately knew it turned out better than he thought it would lmao
ahem I am two minutes in and brad has not addressed his brown hair.
strawberry_shortcake4life iconic
He really thinks that we’ll just get over it by the time passes
Right? Came to the comments to see if I was the only one offended
𝐀𝐍𝐀 🌹 FACTS
J G I feel that 😂
I think this is great if you have naturally curly hair. Normal highlights often disappear in naturally curly hair. On top of that it wouldn't look bad when it is slightly uneven section because your curls will cover it up.
this is such a great comment as someone with curly hair who was wanting highlights
My stylist has always used a cap and I love how it grows out!
I must say I like your hair dark like this better than platinum on you
“To be old and wise, you must first be young and dumb.” 😅
This is a perfect life Motto 😂
*Yes*
Used to do this way back when! Hair was hooked from top of cap and work your way down (not from down upwards). Hair rinsed before removing cap. Crochet hook works well too.
I have medium brown hair and I’ve been highlighting it at home for 15 years using the cap method. It usually looks terrible for the first week or two then I get tons of compliments. I used the Revlon frost and glow kit, it’s blue tinted to get a jump start on toning down the brassy tones.
Brad looks like he could be one of the Salvatore brothers
I was gonna comment this but I thought I was he only one
YES
Idk if it’s just me but he also kinda looks like Lucien from The Originals in my opinion
First thing I noticed! 😂
Yesss!!!
Brad: Hi beautiful, you look absolutely stunning today.
Me in sweats with greasy hair:😏😏💃
We rock this 😊
Holy?! I've binged your videos since I found you, but omg this is the first time I see you with darker hair and you look...gorgeous wow.
I loveeee cap highlighting i just tried it not too long ago and now I’m obsessed
I dyed my mom's hair last week....and she was shooketh at how good it turned out and was confused where I learned all the techniques...credits to you sister Brad ❤️❤️ TH-cam be learning me more than school ever will lmao
Shooketh is a word.
You come across as semi illiterate.
@@ingriddubbel8468 Your comment has me shooketh, the audacity!
Amen!
Ya’ll are worried about the word shooketh, than again she said “TH-cam be learning me more than school” hmmm. 🤔
HONESTLYYYYY I FEEL YOU ON THE TH-cam AND SCHOOL PART I SWEARRRRR
Inlove how in around 90% of brad’s videos start with
“This is not a good idea”
“This will turn out bad”
And then it ends with
“This actually turned out good”
“This is not bad”
I'm blond and my hair gets mousy over winter. I do cap highlighting. It looks awesome.i take the front tiny bit of the edge out before I start so you don't see where it starts. It looks awesome. People compliment my hair and I tell them I did it with a cap and they die laughing. How did it come out so good.
after i watched the results yes! It looks so beautiful! You popped of sis
Can we all just agree on the fact that Brad looks even more stunning and gorgeous with this hair colour and hair style.
Damn... 🔥💯😳
Ohh yeah definitely. 😊♥️♥️💕💕. He FINE. 😘
Hi Brad! I'm a master cosmetologist that went to a very very old timey beauty school 100yrs ago. The way we learned to highlight was with a cap. (Thank Goodness for my first job where I had very skilled hairdressers teach me to foil.) A few things I remember, they used to make different sized needles that determined the amount of hair that came out. Even the biggest one was smaller that what came with the caps. We used to throw those away. You pop the bag through each hole at an angle to make it easier and not stab the client in the head and then redirect the needle downward. There is a technique that I probably cant explain where you kinda do sewing machine motion through a whole line and that makes it even faster. Those loops you spoke of were usually taken out by combing out the hair once you've finished. How we kept the bleach from bleeding was to mix it super thick. I hope I was helpful some. Its been forever since I used this technique one I learned to foil I never looked back.
That's how I learned to do it! VERY well explained!
@@sandraholloman6048 Thank you so much! I'm glad I'm not the only one that learned all that.
Good explanation. We learned to pull from the top down to cause less pain and less chunks coming out.
I only ever get cap highlights, my amazing hair lady doesn't know how to do foils - they always look perfect when she does them. I have done them at home many, many times as well - using your technique...I tried foils once and it was a disaster, and I felt horrible for cheating on my sylist. Just wanted to say, I love the 'old school' way much better!
I was told to use a little powder to get better pulling thru the cap and the use a paddle brush to get some the loops that may be there pulled thru. I really only used caps on shorter pixie length hair. I had a client insisted on and all over color then cap highlights.
Brad has a better relationship with miss mannyquin than I do with literally anyone in my life.. 😂😂😂😂
Yesss
I'm doing this at home by myself and I love it
