Not following Brad’s rules and still getting good results is the equivalent of doing a math equation wrong but still getting the right answer in math class 😂
Commenting for the update 10:09 : my hair is shockingly doing somewhat better, ends are still stringy but no bald spots thankfully 😭 like 4 months after that video I started working at a hair salon so shoutout my coworkers for helping fix it
that’s sick! glad your hair is doing better. and you don’t have to worry about your reaction, I was making the same face just thinking about trying to get that thing off😂
If you’re going to do cap highlights, I recommend rinsing the bleach out while the cap is still on and then fully saturating it with conditioner after rinsing and take it off while the conditioner is still in… that way there’s a lot less tension and less risk of breakage when taking it off.
Yes! I used to get my hair foiled religiously until covid and then started doing my hair with a cap and a few foils in the front at home. I use a rubber cap that's reusable and I always rinse after bleaching with the cap on. Then shampoo and tone and condition. It slides off perfectly fine with no tension. I think the rubber cap does much much better than those plastic caps that come in the box kits too.
Yeah thats whats the instructions say though… but the best advice is. Don’t use them full stop 😂 I told my mum not to and she got my brother one and he looks like a leopard 😂😂😂 i was a kid too back then and my gut instinct knew they were gonna be bad.
Does nobody read the directions? You're supposed to rinse it, check the color, add Lightner if needed. Rinsr again, condition...THEN take the cap off. Never take it off with Lightner still on. Duh!!
From 4th grade to like mid high school my mom was the QUEEEEEN of doing highlights with that stupid cap. It was so painful having her poking at my head but she literally slayed every time.
My stylist used to do them in the 90s. But it was always low-lights, or reds in my level 9ish hair back then. - Gradually moved to foils in the 2000's new colors every 6 weeks meant it always had variety and looked like natural variations.
So highlight caps are like Schrodinger's Bleach Kit... Until you remove the cap, you don't know it it's gonna slay, or be D.O.A. (≧▽≦)(≧▽≦)(≧▽≦)
I have had both amazing and atrocious results when using a cap to highlight. Usually it comes down to good results if I am patient enough to part my hair correctly before applying the cap, and being meticulous while pulling the strands through the cap. When I rushed it I had bleach spots, uneven streaks, and horrid results.
Ive done some of the best hair ive ever had with a cap as well. If anyone reads this, dont take the bleach all the way to the root, keep it concentrated on the mids and lengths so that it will blend easier with the roots making it look like a balayage
I'm pretty sure that a few of those "after" results were after seeing a professional. The one that did money pieces didn't match up with her final look.
My mom did cap highlights (known back in the day as "frosting") to her hair all during my childhood and somehow SLAYED it. Never got cheetah spots and it _always_ looked good.
years ago my grandma suggested i should go blonde (after my black/blue phase), so i agreed. At that point, i had virgin-ish hair. My hairdresser who didnt seem to want to do anything but cut hair told my mom and I do bleach my hair using a cap then tone it after. It actually turned out really blonde and consistent. My mom did a great job. But if there's one thing we made sure of, it was to wash the bleach out, then when applying conditioner, that's when you remove the cap...
Honestly, I think that brad should choose one of the worst results and try to help them, this videos bring so much learning that I think it would be a good way to give back and I for sure will love to see how he can help and fix such a disasters... My humble opinion
some of these videos might be months old though, they might not look like that anymore. And they could be anywhere in the world! I could not afford to fly ti NYC from Norway to fix my hair 😅
This could be a good idea but people would probably ruin their hair just to have an opportunity to meet him (just as some ruin their hair just to appear on his videos)
I remember watching my mom do cap highlights in the bathroom. Literally the smell of hair dye or bleach is nostalgic. ❤️ I also cannot smell anymore because of my childhood lol
Brad should make a line of bleach/lighteners for safely at home use as part of XMondo products. Millions of people watch him and he can make a line of lightning products and toners. It can be a major success!
But it really wouldn’t matter because people would STILL use it wrong. There’s no “fool proof bleach” that anyone can create. He should just write a bleaching book if anything lol There is no safe way to bleach your hair at home if you refuse to follow directions
@@HalfNHalf. - it’s always shocking to me the see the complete disregard of instructions, the lack of sectioning and not fully saturating the hair and then they wonder why it came out like shit 😂. Like what did you think was gonna happen!!
And the way those spots will follow you forever... like yes you can root smudge, but the porosity will never be the same. It'll keep shedding the color in those spots 😭
My mother in law gets cap hightlighs done every 6 weeks and it always somehow looks great. The hairdresser does home visits which is awesome but yeah he's been doing her hair for decades now and has really good technique for sure. I feel like it works so well for her specifically because her hair is fairly thin and fine, it's also already pretty light blonde so it blends well.
I did cap highlights once using a box of Revlon Frost and Glow on my friend and they came out gorgeous! Just the first time though when we attempted it a 2nd time I don't know what happened but we ended up having to bleach her entire head because it was so uneven and splotchy....not my preferred method of highlighting it's a pain in the neck trying to pull the hair through the little holes especially if you have fine/tangly hair.....
Hey Mr. Mondo. I love your videos, and I'm wanting to be a hairstylist when I'm 16. Rn I'm 14, abt to be 15 lol. I know a lot abt hair already, and yea. I just wanted to say hi, and you got any tips for me for cosmetology school? 😂❤❤
This is giving me flashbacks. I did the cap highlight thing when it was originally popular at a salon, and ended up with way too thick highlights at the front. Even in the age of everyone doing this, OMG did this look bad. You’re right Brad, it’s way too unpredictable! Luckily I was able to get a colour correction to blend it out, but NEVER AGAIN
I knew the 2nd one was gonna get bleeding when she piled it on top. There's holes there. Smh 😂i messed up one time after years of doing cap highlights had to go get it done professionally and have ever since. Although everytime it went right was when my hair was one color and didn't have existing highlights.
You CAN get good results with cap highlights but you have to put the color on the roots/dark hair using a brush and being careful (as Brad says) not to push any lightener through the holes into the hair. Also keep the hair smooth and brushed so it doesn't tangle, then it works well.
I have used a cap many times. I brush my hair first how I usually wear it and the part. I go every other circled hole, not all of them. I use a professional hook that has a small hook for highlights and brush for highlighting. Once time has processed, I wash the hair with the cap on first, and the cap will slide off with no pulling. I then re-wash and condition after. I like it at home DIY because it is hard to time with foils on yourself.
Brad! It's so fun watching your videos.... the way you react is just so 😂😂😂 in a nice way ofcourse! The best part is that you give so much sense to what is going on and your inputs are so valuable!
I confess that I did this to myself 40 years ago when I was in college. These home cap highlights kits were all the rage and advertised everywhere-magazines, TV, even billboards. My hair(fortunately) was shorter than it is now because I had serious leopard spots all over my head. I did it in the early summer, so by late September, I’d been able to get enough hair trims to be rid of most of it. Whenever I see a highlighting cap, I cringe at the memory.
We do cap highlights/streaks in our salon, big big rules apply…1- they’re only good on short hair,2- make sure the hair is combed into the style the client always wears it, 3- use a proper hairdressers streaking cap and most importantly USE CLING WRAP UNDER YOUR CAP!!!! This will stop those leopard print spots because the hair that’s not pulled through the cap is protected from any bleach seeping through misses holes. (When you start your career at the height of streaking, 23 years ago, you learn to be a pro at it). Comb your hair through before putting lightener on and rinse the bleach out, apply conditioner THEN pull the cap off. Way way better for protecting your hair.
wait sorry, this might be a dumb question, but how do you use a cling wrap under the cap, do you just poke holes in your head through the cap and the cling wrap??? ik it sounds dumb but i'm trying to make a decent attempt on this thing hahahaha
I once sat down at a salon for a full highlight and they put the cap on my head and started pulling hairs through without saying anything… I didn’t know what to do and the girl didn’t understand English so I apologized, got up, ripped the cap off my head and ran😅
When I wanted black hair with blue stripes, I had a hairdresser using a cap like that. I remember it hurting when she pulled the pieces out. It felt like she was quite aggressive. It did end up looking good though even though I had to go back a week later to have a redo of the blue since it was washed out so fast. The second time it stuck longer. I don't use that hairdresser anymore. My new one is against the cap.
I used to help cap my mom all the time when I was teen. She'd pull the pieces by her face and I'd do the top and back of her head. We always pulled it off to wash before toning though. It usually turned out decent. I do remember one year when I was kid and grandma was helping her, she didn't have toner on hand. For whatever reason it turned out pinkish the night before Easter Sunday service. "Well, I guess I look like an egg this Easter" 🤣🥚
13:38 we need someone like brad for lashes as well to publicly humiliate this one person who almost made me tear all my eyelashes out bcs of how bad of a job she did on me, id be glad to submit photos and videos 😂
The guy getting the frosted tips looks like he did a 24 hour challenge where he couldn’t say no to whatever someone told him to do. But it actually turned out pretty well.
You're supposed to wash off the bleach before you remove the cap so you don't pull out your hair but more importantly in case it's not processed long enough and you need to do another round of bleach you are only bleaching the hair you did in the first round only rinse off and remove the cap when it's the colour you want it to be 😂
A trainee put about 6 different blondes through my hair as highlights.. I looked ridiculous. I’m not one to care about my hair but I was crying. I’d lost my hair from treatment, finally grew it to shoulder length, strand test was fine. Then this guy completely ruined it, no way to save it at all but to go dark. I had it done just before travelling to meet my boyfriends at the time family, no way to fix it.. I was so embarrassed.
the one time i had it done by a professional it was so painful, lasted two hours and you could barely see the result afterwards. i can't look at the cap now without physically cringing foils are far better results wise imo
The holes are not poked for you. You have to take the pointy hook and break through 2 layers of plastic. You have to push pretty hard. So unless being stabbed in the scalp 100 times is your idea of fun, stay away from cap highlights.
Former "shampoo girl" here from back in the day that washed highlighting caps out.... you have to saturate the hair with water and lather a lot with shampoo and then pull the cap out when the hair is soapy and it slides off. Then you proceed to wash the entire head.
With the weird wet looking result and the beautiful dry result i am always wondering if they went to a salon to get it fixed and not show us. But maybe thats just my pessimistic thought 😂
I remember when I was 15 and I did the half blonde half black at the bottom and it looked crazy , it wasn't blended at all and I remember going to school for 3 years. And I had curly hair oon top of that , so. The blonde just made my hair more fluffy and crazy 😂
Ok but; it seems like EVERY video I watch with the cap method, they always end up just ripping off the cap without doing the basics. ie: how about rinsing off the bleach with cold-ish water and immediately applying an at least semi-"quality" conditioner and THEN pulling off the cap. Then wetting and conditioning the whole head? If you're gonna do the cap method, at least give the hair a fighting chance no?
Brad gets so arrogant sometimes it’s too much and it comes across as rude and loves to make people feel uneducated and stupid. He’s always saying oh bc I’m a professional I know what I’m doing I know you don’t. It’s not sexy buddy or desirable when you act like this. Everyone starts somewhere remember that. @bradmondo
My old hairdresser used to lighten my hair with a cap and she always washed it out before taking the cap off My hair was like looking at the sun but I loved it 😆
I hate the tiktok text to speech voice so much, it makes me want to rip my ears off lmao. Like why can't you just SPEAK? I get it for accessibility purposes but if you don't need it, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy??? Its all over tiktok, i don't want it on my yt too 😭😭
I’ve never had a problem with cap highlights. Literally never! I mean it used to be the only way before foils came along yet Brad always acts so surprised like he’s never heard of this before🤦🏻♀️ I’ve had it done & I’ve done them on my daughter hundreds of times. It’s just not that hard people & personally I think it looks more natural than foils. The reason some of these people couldn’t get the caps off was because they still had the bleach on their hair. You have to wash the bleach off then take the cap off & it just slides right off.
hey brad i wanna get a wispy kinda fringe but i’m not sure. I’ve seen a few tutorials where you have to have a middle part but i do not have one and my hair will ABSOLUTELY NOT go in the middle 😒 i also wear glasses soo i’m not sure how it will work if anyone could give me any tips on whether or not i should get one or how to cut one that would be great 🙏
In my younger years I did cap highlights done by a professional at a salon and my hair got so tangled they barely got the cap off. There may have been some crying, not me, the hairdresser. In the end it was all good.
I wish you would actually work on real people's hair in your videos. Do make overs or something. I don't think I have ever seen you do anything but Maniquins hair. Her head has no heat to interfere with bleach.
My step dad did cap highlights on me when I was a young teen it always was so cute it was a box dye it worked fine, maybe he knew what he was doing. It looked professional
The girl at the end should put a deep plum red on her hair omgggg she’d slay so hard and still get the special look she’s looking for, it would take to the uneven parts in a more intentional way I think 👌🏻
I don't understand what the second girl was hoping to achieve. Most of her hair was alright bright blonde. Seems like she figured this was the best way to have a viral fail without actually ruining her hair.
I dont understand 😩 this method has been around for ages and takes 2 seconds of looking into it or reading the damn instructions to know NOT to slather it on the cap!
Years and years and YEARS ago when I was getting cap highlights, the hairstylist used this very thick rubber cap to decrease the chance of bleed-through. Watching these people pull the cap off is making my scalp hurt lol
Back in the old days ( the 80s ) my friends mom frosted my hair with the cap and made me look like Billy Idol .. I was NOT happy .. had to go buy the dreaded box dye and fix it .. haven't done it since then lol
Who else is convinced that Brad looks like THE REAL LIVING KEN ?👋👋😅
I was thinking the SAME
THIS
Yes!!
YESSS
Facts
Not following Brad’s rules and still getting good results is the equivalent of doing a math equation wrong but still getting the right answer in math class 😂
looool
oh my god YES
Happened to me 1 time of two tries xD, the other one I did exactly like Brad told us to do, and it came out perfect ❤
Half the time it's pure dumb luck and the other time it's them going to a salon and getting it fixed but trying to play it off like they did it
very adhd if you ask me :'D
the second girl in the pink was driving me INSANE. what did she expect trying that hard to be cute instead of paying attention?
I thought the same thing😅
And she said it didn't look that bad and I am like "girl, your ends are fucking fried!!!"
Attention seeker much . I hate girls like that . Annoying
Her roots underneath the cap😭😭😭😭……
YES I hated the weird overacting like gurl….you’re not entertaining 🤣
The energy of the girl with the pink shirt was like she was performing a scripted kid's video and had a wig on or something.
Commenting for the update 10:09 : my hair is shockingly doing somewhat better, ends are still stringy but no bald spots thankfully 😭 like 4 months after that video I started working at a hair salon so shoutout my coworkers for helping fix it
This is the update I needed.
Glad things are good for you now..💛💛
I was combing the comments hoping you’d replied! I’m glad you’re doing ok and your coworkers helped you fix it. Thank you for the update!
that’s sick! glad your hair is doing better. and you don’t have to worry about your reaction, I was making the same face just thinking about trying to get that thing off😂
I’m so happy you’re okay!❤️ girl you scared me!
If you’re going to do cap highlights, I recommend rinsing the bleach out while the cap is still on and then fully saturating it with conditioner after rinsing and take it off while the conditioner is still in… that way there’s a lot less tension and less risk of breakage when taking it off.
How is this not obvious? Bleach is like nearly dry concrete.
Yes! I used to get my hair foiled religiously until covid and then started doing my hair with a cap and a few foils in the front at home. I use a rubber cap that's reusable and I always rinse after bleaching with the cap on. Then shampoo and tone and condition. It slides off perfectly fine with no tension. I think the rubber cap does much much better than those plastic caps that come in the box kits too.
This should be common sense when doing your own hair lol
Yeah thats whats the instructions say though… but the best advice is. Don’t use them full stop 😂 I told my mum not to and she got my brother one and he looks like a leopard 😂😂😂 i was a kid too back then and my gut instinct knew they were gonna be bad.
Agree!!! I was yelling at these girls to use some conditioner!!
My ex mother in law was the CHAMPION cap highlighter! She did her own and it always came out perfect! Her hair always looked professionally done!
Does nobody read the directions? You're supposed to rinse it, check the color, add Lightner if needed. Rinsr again, condition...THEN take the cap off. Never take it off with Lightner still on. Duh!!
The look brad gave the girl in the pink when she said 'I don't know what went wrong!' Was so on point
That poor girls bald spots are gonna be brighter than the sun💀💀💀
Sunburn..
Oh god
I mean they’re just blonde spots but I guess I get your point
@@1CamSandwichPlzthat’s what I was thinking. I was watching it back like ummm did I miss something? I never saw any bald spots!

Can you imagine a show where Brad surprises people who’s videos he’s watched to help them fix their hair 👀
I’d watch that so hard
Omg petition to make this a thing 🙋♀️
Same! I love this idea
I need this in my life now
"id watch that so hard" ((giggle))!!
So highlight caps are like Schrodinger's Bleach Kit...

This could be a good idea but people would probably ruin their hair just to have an opportunity to meet him (just as some ruin their hair just to appear on his videos)
Would make a good tv series.
Some of these people absolutely got their disasters corrected at a salon before showing off the final look
brad would've made a much better ken than ryan gosling
All Brad had to say is that you shouldn’t take the caps off unless you’re rinsing it. Slides out so easily when the hair is wet
It literally tells you that in the instructions!!!
Much respect to women. The amount of work and pain they put into their looks is terrifying. Much love all

Getting some real Ken Doll vibes from Brad today and I'm living for it.
Brad's reactions are so entertaining. He is precious. 😁❤️❤️❤️
But the holes she hasn't pulled out, the holes are going to fill up with bleach and be spotty. Edit: I was correct 😂
Happy Sunday, Brad...and everyone else!!!
I had cap highlights when I was 17...I got lucky. They actually looked good. Lol.
Honestly, people have so much information these days and some people seems like to choose doing things on the wrong way.

You need to wash and condition with the cap still on. Then take it off. Then it won’t rip your hair 😭

You're supposed to wash off the bleach before you remove the cap so you don't pull out your hair but more importantly in case it's not processed long enough and you need to do another round of bleach you are only bleaching the hair you did in the first round only rinse off and remove the cap when it's the colour you want it to be 😂
A trainee put about 6 different blondes through my hair as highlights.. I looked ridiculous. I’m not one to care about my hair but I was crying. I’d lost my hair from treatment, finally grew it to shoulder length, strand test was fine. Then this guy completely ruined it, no way to save it at all but to go dark. I had it done just before travelling to meet my boyfriends at the time family, no way to fix it.. I was so embarrassed.
Why is no one washing the bleach out before taking the cap off? Like that why they hair is starting to fall out.
the one time i had it done by a professional it was so painful, lasted two hours and you could barely see the result afterwards. i can't look at the cap now without physically cringing
foils are far better results wise imo
The holes are not poked for you. You have to take the pointy hook and break through 2 layers of plastic. You have to push pretty hard. So unless being stabbed in the scalp 100 times is your idea of fun, stay away from cap highlights.
Lmao yeah but you don’t have to stab your head to make the hole, i used to have my hair done like this for YEARS and no one ever stabbed me hhaha.
Former "shampoo girl" here from back in the day that washed highlighting caps out.... you have to saturate the hair with water and lather a lot with shampoo and then pull the cap out when the hair is soapy and it slides off. Then you proceed to wash the entire head.
Never done cap highlights at home for this reason. Lol.
With the weird wet looking result and the beautiful dry result i am always wondering if they went to a salon to get it fixed and not show us. But maybe thats just my pessimistic thought 😂
I remember when I was 15 and I did the half blonde half black at the bottom and it looked crazy , it wasn't blended at all and I remember going to school for 3 years. And I had curly hair oon top of that , so. The blonde just made my hair more fluffy and crazy 😂
Me shouting at the screen, "rinse it off" before you take the cap off 🙈
The boys that did this actually did an AMAZING job
Ok but; it seems like EVERY video I watch with the cap method, they always end up just ripping off the cap without doing the basics. ie: how about rinsing off the bleach with cold-ish water and immediately applying an at least semi-"quality" conditioner and THEN pulling off the cap. Then wetting and conditioning the whole head? If you're gonna do the cap method, at least give the hair a fighting chance no?
Hi brad! Love the outfit! ❤
Brad gets so arrogant sometimes it’s too much and it comes across as rude and loves to make people feel uneducated and stupid. He’s always saying oh bc I’m a professional I know what I’m doing I know you don’t. It’s not sexy buddy or desirable when you act like this. Everyone starts somewhere remember that. @bradmondo
My old hairdresser used to lighten my hair with a cap and she always washed it out before taking the cap off
My hair was like looking at the sun but I loved it 😆
I hate the tiktok text to speech voice so much, it makes me want to rip my ears off lmao. Like why can't you just SPEAK? I get it for accessibility purposes but if you don't need it, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy??? Its all over tiktok, i don't want it on my yt too 😭😭
I’ve never had a problem with cap highlights. Literally never! I mean it used to be the only way before foils came along yet Brad always acts so surprised like he’s never heard of this before🤦🏻♀️ I’ve had it done & I’ve done them on my daughter hundreds of times. It’s just not that hard people & personally I think it looks more natural than foils. The reason some of these people couldn’t get the caps off was because they still had the bleach on their hair. You have to wash the bleach off then take the cap off & it just slides right off.
I have used the rubber cap highlights at home for a long time and knock on wood I've never had problems.
Brad mondo literally can be the perfect ken for barbie
hey brad
i wanna get a wispy kinda fringe but i’m not sure. I’ve seen a few tutorials where you have to have a middle part but i do not have one and my hair will ABSOLUTELY NOT go in the middle 😒 i also wear glasses soo i’m not sure how it will work if anyone could give me any tips on whether or not i should get one or how to cut one that would be great 🙏
I got caps in salons back then lol
In my younger years I did cap highlights done by a professional at a salon and my hair got so tangled they barely got the cap off. There may have been some crying, not me, the hairdresser. In the end it was all good.
I wish you would actually work on real people's hair in your videos. Do make overs or something. I don't think I have ever seen you do anything but Maniquins hair. Her head has no heat to interfere with bleach.
Brad…..there are ways to do cap high lights and they look very good…..I have been a licensed stylist for 47 years and I can do a fantastic one
I’m gonna be so real the second girls personality and over exaggeration made me skip her part
Yea she was like trying too hard to look like AI in my opinion. The staring bug eye thing was....odd
There is a reason they used these caps in the 1980's, 1990's! So they can stay there
My step dad did cap highlights on me when I was a young teen it always was so cute it was a box dye it worked fine, maybe he knew what he was doing. It looked professional
The girl at the end should put a deep plum red on her hair omgggg she’d slay so hard and still get the special look she’s looking for, it would take to the uneven parts in a more intentional way I think 👌🏻
Did the 2nd girl in pink use a gas station nacho container lol I went to cosmetology College and some of these drive my anxiety threw the roof lol
I don't understand what the second girl was hoping to achieve. Most of her hair was alright bright blonde. Seems like she figured this was the best way to have a viral fail without actually ruining her hair.
I just dont understand how people dont know to rinse BEFORE removing the cap D:
Am i the only here looking at Brad like, "he really should've been in the Barbie movie". Giving Ken vibes 💯✨️✨️
I dont understand 😩 this method has been around for ages and takes 2 seconds of looking into it or reading the damn instructions to know NOT to slather it on the cap!
I got a new name for this series: "Let's have a panic attack for the next 30 minutes." 😭😭😭
Tmw your cosmetology school forces you to do caps on people 😭
My theory is : people intentionally mess up their hair so Brad can be shocked and we can laugh (or cry)
I don’t understand why they don’t wash the bleach of their hair first. Then remove the cap would be a lot easier
Years and years and YEARS ago when I was getting cap highlights, the hairstylist used this very thick rubber cap to decrease the chance of bleed-through. Watching these people pull the cap off is making my scalp hurt lol
Back in the old days ( the 80s ) my friends mom frosted my hair with the cap and made me look like Billy Idol .. I was NOT happy .. had to go buy the dreaded box dye and fix it .. haven't done it since then lol
