Me trying to convince my friends to let me do their hair: trust me, I watch Brad Mondo
Me trying to convince my 15 yo daughter! 😅
I did my friends hair perfectly because i've learned so much here 😂
Same though
OMG I did that the other day and thats to Brad Mondo it was beautiful.
I did my friends hair perfect and she made fun of me cause i did everything like a hair stylist with foils 🤣
In order to avoid all this technical talk at the hair salon, I choose to ruin my own hair at home instead.
And it's not so expensive
Me
😂 love this comment.
Lol
ME 2 DAYS AGO
Brad is literally the only person I’d trust with my hair and say “surprise me” to
OMG YES!
LOL, or make sure your stylist watches him too! My sister has her own salon and spa and used to be an instructor of hair and esthetics, and watches him.
Me talking about hair: Did you watch thing Brad Mondo was talking about?
Her: Yeah, okay but we're going to do it like the other video he did if we do it for you okay?
Me: Um, okay.
Where’s his salon?
@@banaalani7216 i believe nyc
i would sooo do that
The easiest explanation for toner versus dye is this: Dye will shift the color of your hair up or down (lighter or darker), while toner will shift the existing color along the spectrum right to left (warmer or cooler). Hope this helps someone who may not still understand.
Wow that’s a great way to help people comprehend toner vs hair color. Just like when your editing a photo.
Ooooooh thank you,
Ok that helps cause I had more questions lol
@@joanraeseu6615 If you still have more, feel free to ask. ^^
Ideally, but the amount of people's stories I read about level 6 toners making their level 6 bleached hair turn brunette again makes me scared
Me: knows nothing about hair
Me after 1 Brad Mondo video: I am the hair expert
Why did I read it as Heir expert
And now we judge 👩⚖️ lol
And then I felt like that even more after watching James Atkinson (Life of Hair)
Can we talk about how cute Brad look with his root color 😍
Yessir.
It's not fair. He can pull off literally every hair colour ♡
I looove this look!!
I know right?? And he says he doesn’t look good with darker hair.
Ikr he should keep it like this for a while 🥰
me: I'd like a balayage
literally almost every hair stylist in my area: ........???? What's that?
Yikes ohh noo
SAME IM SO PISSED
Ikr! It's so frustrating not having any trustworthy professional nearby, I think I'll end up doing my own hair
i’m getting one from my aunts niece who is my hair stylist today!
Um what? It’s a technique every hair stylist should know... that is concerning...
Frantically watching his videos at 2am so I can better explain to my hairdresser tomorrow what I want
How did it go
@Lara
They prolly totally forgot abt it, but if you see this, I am getting highlights for the first time…. If you respond and ask me in about a month I’ll tell you how it went….!
same 🤣🤣🤣
“Balayage”, French word, means “sweeping” 🧹
Marcellina4 ohhh that makes sense
Everything sounds so fancy is French. I would do that chore if my mom said "Balayage the kitchen."
Stephanie Goulet , omggggg , hahahahaha! 🧹😂🧹😂🧹😂🧹😂
@@stephaniesilk6990 you will say : "balaie ta chambre" not balayage for "clean your room" ^^ it's a verb after all
Dang I busted out my Greek book to find something and that makes ten times more sense than what I got
"I DONT KNOW ANYONE NAMED 'ROOTSMUDGE'"
Samantha?
Sis i gotta talk to you about the canine stylist community and the puppycut.
I laughed at that! 😂
@@elizabethswartz1743 frozennn
🤣🤣 dead
One of the reason why I love Brad because he explains everything in detail + he clears all the doubt.
When you discover what you get is actually called babylights and not just "hey girl, yes the usual"
"I don't know anybody named Root Smudge"
I'm dead 😂😂😂
Weronika Linda I laughed so hard when he said that 🤣🤣
Weronika Linda i legit saw this comment right after he said that lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same hahah
Honestly Brad doing my hair would be a dream, literally the only hairdresser I trust thoroughly lol. Who can relate?
Can totally relate! Ive tried so many hairdressers to get the perfect balyage and each hairdresser has just basically gave me highlights..not blended or anything😭😭
Rachel Holland yesss
Meh
Guy Tang tho..
Me too!!
Quarentine’s making me feel a way. I want to give myself a money piece, balayage, and baby lights
Did you?
Mole People lol im sadly a thinker not a dooer 😔
Sameee, let's do it 😂
Me toooooo😅
I oop-😳
When he says “Hi beautiful” my heart flutters🙏🥰

thank you verymuch
That’s so helpful
thank you so much:))

*Balayage
Me: trying to focus on the video
Also me: staring at Brad’s hair the whole time 😍
Same! His hair looks especially great in this video
yee and the comments
little did he know that the “money piece” would morf into e-girl hair
But... worse...
Thank you so much for this video! I am currently wanting to get highlights on my very dark hair and now I'll be able to give my stylist a much better explanation of what I want! 😍
I ONLY SAY THAT THERE SHOULD BE A SECTION OF BRAD GIVING ADVICE ON WHAT COLOUR SUITS THEIR SUBSCRIBERS AND WHY‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
I always wanted to dye my hair, but its dark and permed.
he already did a video on that lmao
hâna hana what’s the video? I wanna know.
Danielle Salomon th-cam.com/video/4Cc-U8uhXYk/w-d-xo.html
Good idea
I had highlights that literally looked like tiger stripes
Shayla Gower omg same
I had a zebra print once,
was not happy about it.
SimplyLauren lmao twins 😂😂😂
I just got my hair done and got these highlights 😭 I done fucked up
Turtle rampage oh no!!!
I haven’t had any coloring done to my hair in 10 years, and I’m wanting to do that, and this video really helps me know what I want to communicate when I go get it done! Your videos are so helpful!! They’re so informative & you do a great job at making it easy to understand!
THANK YOU, BRAD! I was literally just going to apply box color on my dirty blonde hair... You saved me! I'm wayyyy old enough to know better, done it plenty of times long ago, but I'm going stir crazy being home and desperate (I actually have the box right in front of me). After seeing this I decided to wait, and go see my stylist when I can for hi-lights ("slices" to be precise, ha ha).
And, since you asked, I love your hair with that color and cut! You wear it well! 😉👍
Please keep up the great, very informative, fun videos. ❤️
Brad: talking about highlights
Me: not understanding anything and doing everything opposite he says
Anna Viļumova nooooo!!
@@BradMondo :)
@@BradMondo lol
How did I know that this comment would get Brad's attention, lmao!!!!
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Brad's sense of fashion?
Not so much..Maybe the sweater over light yellow tee?
Brad I love how you are always so positive and helpful, even if you don't like a hair technique (like the money piece) you're still like this is how you can do this if you want it.
I just love your personality, it’s so refreshing ❤️
Hairdresser: Which kind of highlight do you want?
Me today: _yes_
Aurélia FROLOFF hahahaha
same. they all look good. i'll let my hairstylist pick.
WE NEED BRAD GIVING COURSES TO EVERY HAIRSTYLIST IN THE WORLD.
Thinking about doing the partial balayage to add some extra dimension to my hair without a drastic change. I feel like the balayage would be perfect because I won't have to keep going in to get root touch ups! This video was a huge help! Love you Brad!❤
I watched this after getting highlights and I now understand why my hairdresser gave me something I didn't think I asked for... I wanted partial saturation balayage and for it to be cute and subtle natural tones (I literally showed her the exact photo Brad used for partial saturation on the left) but instead she gave me large sliced highlights up to my roots in a platinum ash tone. I left the salon in tears because the difference was a lot harsher than I wanted.
That's awful!
Girl, same same. I’m still soo mad but nothing can be done. U can wait abit then try again if your hair feels healthy enough. Mine is fried! Also always ask if they use olaplex at the salon or not!
How do you manage the bleached hair, which always tangle! mine are good looking but falling. Hair wash days scary these days. I wanted something that needs less maintenance instead i got into mess for I don’t know how long! Any solution to avoid tangling?
@@amansrankhangura olaplex and it’s a 10 leave in conditioner
@@amansrankhangura use anything with plex technologies, I use the whole olaplex line, it's expensive but I only buy the whole lot once a year, and I use cheaper plex products in-between, and my hair feels amazing, also have you heard of L'Oréal dream lengths wonder water? It's absolutely phenomenal, you leave it on for a few minutes, it gets warm whilst it's activating, and when you rinse it out follow up with a leave in conditioner, use anything that gives you moisture, also in-between that, use something like aphogee protein treatment, because your hair needs a balance of both moisture and protein, if you have more of one or the other, then your hair goes extremely dry and knotted, these products should definitely help x 😀
Clients say Balayage like “Biolage” and I’m like....”we have a whole wall full of Biolage products over here babe.”
Lmaoo 🤣😂
Hahaha yes
😂😂😂 yup!
Marc C lmao
LOL
It’s like you’re reading my mind babe bc recently I’ve been REALLY considering blonde highlights or balayage for a while and this video is fr what I neeeeeed omggg thankkkkyouuuuu
Cloë King Same!
Make sure you go to someone who knows what they are doing! I got my hair done green! Balayage style and she didnt know how to do it so my hair looks... Not good
SaMe case here
See I got it even better I finished getting my highlights the same hour this was uploaded 😂😂
Same here!! I have a hair appointment in a week and I neeeeded this!!
I have my first color appointment a week from now and this video is going to be a life-saver. Thank you so much!
Thank yoooou!!
I’m getting highlights for the first time and I literally said to my hairdresser what you said people tend to say at the beginning. Now I know how to communicate highlight preference.
Xx
Me- looking homeless
Brad - hello beautiful
Me- 😩🤷🏼♀️💙
Haha looking homeless is my signature look 🤣🤣🤣 and i am not even joking
Balayage is a noun derived from the verb balayer “to pass the broom” or to brush. in French. In case someone wanted to know, not sure any fox are given though.
Time Heals , clever. You crack me up!
In Paris (where all is beautiful but blonde hair of any kind will be murdered), balayage is used by french hairdressers to describe any kind of highlight and by highlight I mean saying your roots aren't long enough even at your cheekbones and by highlight I mean drenching your entire head in 40 percent volume bleach whilst claiming there is no such thing as a toner/gloss/colour.
Helen Marie blonde of any kind will be murdered why???
@@lovehelen SO TRUE, as a french girl, i can confirm. Not specifically in Paris though. Many french hairdressers do everything the old fashioned way.
This is exactly what I needed before my hair appointment 💕 thank you angel
Brad has such a huge heart ! I love him and wish him the besttt
I wish I could go to your salon and get my hair done by you, it just would be so relieving to be in good hands and let the magic happen !
I never done something to my hair but I want to do highlights and I don’t trust any hairstylist here in Germany 😢
Mariana Cardoso de Oliveira Google hair salons close to you and look up the stylist insta if they post there work if some one speaks to you book a advice appt . what i like to do is show the idea of what i want for my hair (Pinterest) and built in that
Ich würde auch mal empfehlen welche auf Insta zu suchen, das hilft häufig. Es gibt hier gute Friseure in größeren Städten, aber ich verstehe total was du meinst...
Thanks ! I will do it !
Dankeschön 😊 mach ich
What’s the name of the salon does brad work at
You probably couldn't afford it. He's expensive , you get what you pay for.
Two things: 1. I love your hair, I'm loving this look. 2. How did you know that I'm going in for balayage this weekend, you sorcerer? What perfect timing thank you
Same I’m scheduling an appointment to get some highlights done and this vid pops up
Samee
God bless you for explaining this to me! I was getting so much anxiety trying to book an appointment for colour treatment since I didn't know what anything meant but this has really helped.
I love your videos but after talking to my mom about highlights, this one was recommended to me and it was so helpful!!! I've never dyed my hair before so this will help me explain what I want done. Thanks, Brad!!!❤
I was literally just thinking about getting highlights or balayage!
Edit: now I know that balayage is under the realm of highlights
I'm going to destroy my hair so he can react to it
You'll be serving a great cause😂
I will totally watch it lol it’s kinda my guilty pleasure
Lmao, yes.
Good idea! 👍
😂
OMG thank you for this!!!! I needed this so much and so timely since I'm ready to go back to the salon and need to be prepared to express what I really want them to do! xoxo
im watching this 3 weeks before my hair appointment to get a cut and highlights for my virgin hair. I had no idea there were different types so this is super helpful
"Excuse me I want to look like a walnut"
"??"
"You know, blonde and brown hair, Blair Walnut. Make me a walnut too"
Sarah H, lmao
lol I loooove Blair Walnut
I literally just got highlights today XD apparently I got partial saturation highlights. Good to know for next time. Props to my hairdresser knowing what to do when I said I want to bring summer back but still kinda winter XD
Thank you! Best video I've watched today regarding hair lightening. I've been wanting to go blonder for so long.
Thank you❤ The best part is that no matter what you keep it real and you are postive and informative❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Brad: Thinks silver hair is getting old
Brad: Not a big fan of short hair on the sides
Brad:
Someone should tell him lmao
lol
I’m dead 💀
Why is Brad reading my mind. Never dyed my hair and was thinking highlights might be a good start and then I see this video at the most perfect time.
I wanted to put highlights on my bangs :D
ommmggg same. watching his videos is making me want to get my hair done.
Omg girl samee
Did you end up doing it in the end? I did it for the first time and I absolutely hate it. 😢
I'm getting my hair done today for the first time ever... I only ever dyed it once with an Arctic Fox dye almost 7 years ago and that washed out in a month .-. I was so nervous and had no idea what to begin to ask for but thanks to your videos I feel allot more confident
I normally don't get impressed with a video! I LOVED LOVED LOVED this...very informative, well presented and fun to watch! Thanks Brad
CAN 👏🏼 WE 👏🏼 GET 👏🏼 A 👏🏼 CURLY 👏🏼 VERSION 👏🏼
YES PLEASE
AGREED
YESSS💗
If I’m not mistaken, the same procedures apply, just with curly hair, you’d start with straightening it first
Erin Moore that makes absolutely 0 sense. It wouldn’t look the same curly as it would straight. And not every curly person wants their hair straight.
Everyone: listening to what brad says
Me: staring at his face and falling in love!🔥❤️
Maya vxl same but he’s gay
I love Tom Holland we all do but yeah
Puffiii uh I wanna be his best friend!
BRAD MONDO!!!!! I watched this video before going to my stylist to get professional all-over color for the FIRST TIME! I spoke with her and ended up getting a bomb, BOMB color because of her awesome skill and my ability to tell her what I wanted because of YOUR BRILLIANCE!! I ended up getting BALAYAGE with ROOT SMUDGE and I am soooo freeeeaking happyyyyyy with it! My naturally dark brown hair is now super-dimensional honey brown with dark gold highlights.
coming here for research a month before the appointment.
You couldn’t have done this before I ruined my hair like a week ago 😂
did you post a video?
Theresa Chacon no but there’s pics of it before and after on my insta
OMG SAMMMMME I DID MINE NEW YEAR AND IT BE FOOKED
OMG yeah for me it was perfect timing like dayumn he saved me 😂😂💕
I'm loving the dark moment Brad is rocking, so fetch!
Jan Scott Stop trying to make 'fetch' happen. It's not going to happen!
(I’m not trying to be rude, it’s a mean girls reference)
@@alexandraludanyi3795 hahahahaha "fetch" isn't getting any love in 2020 either 😂
I got the reference and no offence taken. Glad someone else has a sense of humor 😆
Alexandra Ludányi I LOVE YOU DJDKFMMFMFFKF
Alexandra Ludányi I THOUGHT THE SAME DAMN THING SOULMATES LOL DJFKFLCXK
Leyla Ignossia lol thanks 😂😂❤️
I’ve never seen any of brads videos and then yesterday it popped up on my timeline, I’m obsessed !!! Been binge watching during this quarantine 😂❤️😀
I just want to let you know that you saved me and can now tell my hairstylist about root smudging! Forever love you!
that hi beautiful every time makes me really happy
Julia Grudges, right?
Last time I went to a stylist:
Stylist: We could do some highlights and really bring out your waves.
Me: Screw that, make it all purple.
This was so helpful! Literally about to go in for some highlights and now I know how to ask for what I want 👍🏻
Thank you so much for this video. I'm getting my hair done on friday and this really helped clairify what i want for my first time. Love you ❤❤❤❤
truly needed this 😂 i’m having a hair makeover next week and can’t find an exact photo of what i want
Who else wants brad to do their hair? 😩.
Meeeeeeee
Mèeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedeeee toooooooo9
BRAD THANK YOU FOR CALLING IT A ROOT SHADOW AND NOT A SHADOW ROOT! 1. Babylights are the biggest waste of time and usually cause breakage when doing a retouch as its impossible to follow the lines. 2. Balayage means "sweeping" derived from the verb "balayer" which means to sweep. 3. Hairpainting is the way to go and much less time consuming. Check out the whittemore House in NYC were the first hairpainters and invented the root shadow back in 2006.
This video is amazing! So informative and simple in terms. Thank you for helping clients communicate with their stylists!
I feel like I’ve hit a brick wall with my hair. I want to just sit in your chair and let you work your magic. Transform me. 😩
I was about 22 in the early 2000's and wanted "chunky" blond highlights in my dirty blond hair. The hairdresser suggested I get a light brown highlight in between... I don't know what she did wrong, but it was WHITE & BLACK!!!!😱 I looked like Corella Deville, my sisters said it made me look 10 years OLdeR. And you know your sis is going to be brutally honest... It was NOT a look🙈!!!
the same thing happened a few years ago woth my mom. she has dark brown hair, the hair stylist fucked up and bleached her hylights BRIGHT WHITE. she looked like a skunk lmao
Oh I loved that movie!
But yeah I can bet you were grateful when your hair grew out
Girl I had almost the same thing happen! All of the girls in my class had highlights and I wanted them so bad. I finally convinced my mom and she took me to her friend's salon... I walked out with Yellow Fucking Spots. Literally just random chunks of yellow. It scared me off of blonde to this day, 16 years later.
This helped me so much!! Honestly bless Brad for existing❤
I love your hair! This is one of my favourite styles I've seen on you!
A few years ago I decided I wanted blue hair and I bleached my hair myself. And I was like omg why is my hair yellow? But then I remembered color theory and dyed it dark purple and it turned into a pretty ashy blonde. I was so happy. xD Yay for toning.
I thought you wanted blue?
@@elliott209 you need a white blonde base if you want to go bright blue, if she put blue over the yellowy colour it would have gone green!
Brad Mondo got a look going on, We heart it.
I’m so glad I looked for your TH-cam to give me tips before dying my hair. Thank you!
I'm loving these videos as my fear of hair salons is real. I'd love a video where you explain what all the 30, 20 volume stuff is about. I'm clueless and love your explanations. Your hair colour skin tone video was great.
I get a full head of highlights everytime I go to the salon. I love them!!
Lady Steele yes , for example I get them blond and my whole hair looks full blond, but the highlights still pop. But it looks good if you do it right🤷🏼♀️
Fun Fact : "Balayer" in French means "to sweep" (like with a broom) :-D "balayage" means "sweeped" or more literally "a sweeping" :-P. 'J'ai balayé le sol' - 'I sweeped the floor'. "Un balais" = "a broom".
Your videos had made me the family hairdresser through tve pandemic. Started with me cutting my husband from the tutorial you posted. The my mother saw the result and wanted her two year old balayage topped up or more like redone at that point. Said and done. Also gave her a haircut. Now my nice wanted me to cut a blunt lob with some subtle layering, she was so happy with it that my sister now “booked” me for this weekend to highlight her hair. So now I’m binge watching your videos again. They better pay me with a Prosecco lol
I learned SO MUCH. Thank you, BRAD!!
Brad,
1. Your hair looks AMAZING
2. You have literally taught me so much about hair, thank you
I seriously need Brad to save my hair! I was in a bad car wreck two years ago in Oct 2017. & this wreck took my ability to walk for two years(still not fully walking with out assistance or I am in my wheel chair.) Was supposed to lose my leg and I have had 25 plus surgeries/procedures to get my leg to be saved. Lost my entire ankle joint and 2 inches of my tibia! Now that back story is out there. My hair is DEFINITELY showing the medical/medications/anesthesia/ect that I have had administered to me! The trauma made hair fall out right after my wreck. & when I was in the wreck I have Looooong beautiful, naturally curly, bright Red hair. I went to get the red out because I couldn’t afford to keep up with it after not being able to work anymore- due to losing my ability to walk. So.. needless to say. It has been bleached, stripped, bleached some more, toned, I had a Malibu done as well. Now, I have light orange, brown, blonde, blue, silver, golden blonde, ect in my hair. My roots are the darkest blonde and the lightest brown you can have, almost a mouse brown with streaks of all these colors I recently listed! I seriously need help.. I lost so much hair already from this entire process. I know it takes forever and many processes to get Red out. But, in all seriousness. Can we make appointments with you? Ugh. Hellllpppp me. 😩
Hope you can get that sorted and feel better soon!
Naomi Pommerel thanks doll! I still have not got in, sadly. I have been trying to just take care of my hair and then I will get it fixed! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
God bless and He loves you! Jesus cares for you
Omgg I hope you are ok now!!
@@EmyN I lost my entire ankle joint. Am two inches shorter in they side and can’t bend my foot or my leg fully. Might end up being amputated, sadly! But I kept pushing and am walking again, even though they said I probably wouldn’t! Thanks for sending love, dear!!b
LOVE this hair color on you! Amazing!!
thank you sooo much babe you have no idea how helpful this was 🥺🥺🥺🥺 keep up these beautiful videos!!!
You should react to ‘Boyfriend dyes girlfriend’s hair’
duplicate comments?
Crazy Cat accident🤷🏽♀️
I legit just asked my hairdresser for “bare highlights” and she gave me what I wanted sooo?? No fancy words needed 😂😂
Tia King what the f are bare lights?? Ahhaha
Say what ?
Tia King same , a few years ago I went to dye my hair for the first time. I had no clue of what the fuck should I do it so obviously I went to the hairdresser . They picked a nice color and now every time I go I just sit and let them do lol
Are you British bc I feel like I understood this comment? 😂😂
@@BradMondo it means lots of highlights 😂
Omg!!! I literally committed on a video a few months ago asking for this. This makes me so happy to see!
Brad i love your work so much i am a Hairstylist my self and listening to your videos is refreshing my memory of my basics i love you so much
If you post something- I click! Before even reading the title 😭✌🏽😂
🙋
I wish this video was posted a year ago 😂😭 Already messed my hair 💔
Hi Handsome....love your sweater...I just went to a new stylist...came highly recommended I showed her a highlight I liked and told her to surprise me with a cut and color. I love it...had it done 6 days ago. Everyone tells me they love it.
Getting my hair done in a week. So glad I watched this.
I love how your hair is done it really brings out your eyes
Why was this made literally the day before my hair appointment to get highlights
I found this literally after I went to the salon 😭😭
Melissa Guthrie same
This video was just recommended to me, two days before I get my balayage😂 TH-cam really do be spyin on us lol
Same
Lmaoo I have my appointment in 18 hours
You are awesome....I sometimes struggle getting my hairdressers to understand what my vision is...now I understand why ugghhh...so helpful
Love your sweater. This video is so helpful!
