"I'm a rule follower. I love directions and rules"
Only wets one section
That cracked me up!! 😂🤣 "I'm a rule follower" - definite sarcasm as he continued to not follow the rules for the rest of the hair dye process 🤣
You took the words right out of my keyboard!
wetting the hair is a weird instruction anyway. All you're doing is diluting the dye
@@ileolai but thats how ot works. I have been using this product for a while now and tried both ways, wetting the hair looks best
@@ileolai agreed - I think the hair dye has the potential to be good, but between the packaging, pictures & instructions, it sounds like a very inexperienced person was in charge of marketing it or something.
The teal looks so much better on him, it makes his eyes pop
Love how his hair is fading!!!
it’s so pretty!!
Honestlyyy
Agreed!!!!
Agreed, it's great with his skin tone
Brad: "Miss Kristen said to have really wet hair"
Also Brad: proceeds to wet just one section
me when trying to follow directions
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to notice that. Which might also explain why some of the colors didn't take. Would love for him to do it again ... following the directions.
@@ajksmusic yea same
I think he just forgot lol
He DID (sarcastically) say he's a "rule follower" 😂😂
@@ajksmusic the one he did wet was actually less appealing than the others lol, idk how that worked but it did
The creator of these glosses has said they are not meant to be used to change your hair color completely, they are more so just a gloss to top up dull color so you’re supposed to use the one closest to your hair color to bring vibrancy and gloss back to it between colors
Oooo now I wanna try it because I don’t wanna change my hair colour but I’d love to give a nice glossy look
@Mi Mi wow that’s amazing! Thank you for letting me know! I definitely want to try it out on my dark brown hair because I haven’t dyed it in 4 years so it’s all virgin at this point but I’d love to give it a boost!
@@mazdabazda2267 they also have a clear one! I use it to make my balyage look shiny
I get that, but that also doesn't work when the color description doesn't even match the photo on the box. Like that's a serious flaw with the product that they need to change ASAP.
@@oliviabarnes3309 oh sweet! Maybe I’ll try that first, thanks!
"The best part is that it is pre-measured." Literally every box dye EVER.
Lmao that's exactly what I said to myself! Bless him, innocent little cherub.
maybe it’s sponsored?
@@mlinds111 it may not be “sponsored”, but he has an affiliate link hidden in the shortened amazon url so he’s making money when people use it to buy this dye. Given how he has just launched his own color line AND how much he’s shitted on box dye in general, it’s totally out of place and quite jarring in terms of his channel to flat-out recommend (kind of recommend) a competitor’s product. Obviously this is a quick money grab ;) he peppers in some criticism to add “legitimacy” to his review while also making an implied plug for his own brand.
mrjoel19911 i love him but he’s such a hypocrite like he hates box dye but when he’s making money of it he suddenly thinks it’s amazing
Honestly box dyes tend to work if the user isn’t dumb. I don’t understand how he doesn’t believe box dyes can work or look good. Like he thinks we have to spend hundreds on hair when it shouldn’t cost that much for a damn colour
The way his hair color has faded is just beautiful😍
I’m watching this because it’s entertaining. I don’t want to dye my hair lol
Fr
@@True_Miraculer bruh go somewhere
Same 😂
Same
Same 😂
Thank you for doing this video. I am a beauty consultant at Target and now I know so much more about this product and can feel so much more confident in recommending it to our guests. You're the best.
I clicked faster then brad mondo could say “hi beautiful”
Check out my vid "blac girl gets bullied on tiktok "
@@user-hotchocolate aww I’m so sorry 😢
@@jazzydaniels718 it's okay❤
@@user-hotchocolate ♥️
Lmao
Anyone realize he only wet one part of the hair and did the rest dry
Yeaaaah I didn't get that myself.
Same!! I was wondering why he only drenched the first section.
Shiiii was itching at me the whole video omg
i think he just wasn’t paying attention because when you apply regular color, you do it on dry hair
Brad, beautiful, you forgot the wet every section 🤣😅. Im leaving my extra life btw
When he said "what in the 2020."
... I felt that.
Girl with dyed blue black hair here 🖐🏽 I have used the darkest gloss from this line and even though it didn’t change the tone of my hair, it did make my hair super shiny and more manageable! It lasted about 3 months. They also sell a clear version of these glosses that is just for the gloss effect without the color part. Thanks for another great video I was hoping someone would talk about how great these are!
Brad: hello beautiful
Me: laying down with a messy ponytail and double chin 😏😏
Me toooo😜
24th
And we still love it loving it!
@@True_Miraculer I don’t think that’s gonna happen
Hahaha
I've used these at least 5 times now and I really do love the results. It's not meant to completely change your hair. More-so, it brings some shine and color to tired, dull looking hair. Glad you did a review on these! (:
“Only 14 dollars” and I’m like “that’s expensive”. 😂😂
He’s saying compared to his line 😂🤣
@@dezpeaceify I’m aware.....like 100% aware. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Beats the £120 i spend in the salon, but that is for like 5 hours work and balayage 😂
I was thinking the same thing; "if 14$ for toner is cheap, what's expensive? 0.o" 😂
Especially because getting your hair toned at a salon is usually around $20
Is this sponsored? It feels extremely inauthentic to constantly shit on drugstore brands and then turn around and rave about a product that doesn’t even work that well.
Brad Mondo buying a cheap toner omg i thing the earth is shaking I SEE THE LIGHT 😂😂
omg yessss ahah
he's sponsored he has an affiliate link 🤣
@@mariajoana7438 anyone can have an amazon affiliate link, it doesn’t mean he’s sponsored by the brand. In fact, a brand wouldn’t permit him to link to Amazon (where they don’t officially sell their product) in lieu of linking to their own site with url tracking parameters et al. Xoxo, a marketer
This has to be a paid promotion
Right. This wasnt Brad talking🙃
Just wanted to wish y'all some happy holidays, beautifuls ❤️✌️
Happy Holidays to you as well, xoxo
Me wishing I could tell him he FORGOT TO WET the 3 out of 4 sections 😭😭😂
Seriously though the colors on the box are odd and I'm not sure why they chose a black box that makes it harder to see the hair
This feels like an ad that wasn't disclosed to me. And like...none of them turned out that great?
exactly, they did nothing
Yep, definitely feels sponsored
You’re supposed to tone your hair based on what shade you are now. It’s actually toner not dye idk why he kept saying that. It’s like color depositing shampoo
who else clicks as fast as they can when they see one of his vids?
Me lol
Me :)
Everybody lol
OMG I love ❤️ how the teal looks on him! It makes his eyes ✨POP✨.
This looks is my favorite BY FAR!
And the nails too!
Seeing how good blue hair looks on Brad makes me want to dye my hair a crazy colour
“It’s incredible” as none of the colors turn out like they should 🙃 ok......
He did it completely wrong... && described it completely wrong lolol. But go offfff
It's not hair color, it's meant to upkeep colored hair in between dyeing
It's not a normal hair color though, it's a gloss. It's meant to touch up already colored hair of similar color in between colorings. So these are not supposed to dye hair a different color. He should of known
This was so great. I've always avoided that 'red' color because it looks black purple on the box. It's gorgeous irl!
When miss mannequin had better hair than you 😭🤚
ooooooof brad ily but this seems super sponsored, we all know how you feel about box dye and the results of this were pretty sad...
it’s not dye haha
it's not for drastic color changes ! c:
wet each section
brad: *only wets 1 section*
Brad being nice about a product that didn't do what it said,
me: dats suspicious, dats wierd.... (in my tiktok voice)
Yes it did do what it's supposed do. It's literally not a hair dye like he made it seem. It's a gloss touch up in between colorings. You use it on already colored hair of the same color.
Also, something about this whole video feels off. Like he’s getting paid for his recommendation, even though I know he is smarter than this. He normally wouldn’t recommend something that clearly doesn’t do what it says it will. Not hating, but just be honest with your audience. I mean, recommending a product that literally didn’t deliver one single color match? Why? Ok, it gives you a shine, but if I’m going for plum and get red, I’d be furious. Or if I want a brownish blond like the photo but end up with that orange monstrosity. Again, wouldn’t be pleased.
For what it’s worth I’m glad he made this video so I don’t buy this and end up upset over not getting the right color.
Yeah....I mean you get what you pay for lol.
he is getting paid. amazon link in the description is an affiliate link
The whole time I was thinking “surely this is an ad” but he never disclosed that ??? I feel shaded.
He used burgundy color and got a light chestnut color...I would be mad too if that happened...
if you were to get payed to do the same thing we all know that you would most probably do it so you cant blame brad they could have payed him to not say anything about getting payed ya know so like
Why does "Miss Manny Quinn" just make me laugh so much every damn time
Is this a product promtion? This video REALLY looks like you were paid to review.
"I like to follow the rules"-Brad... as he DOESNT WET THE HAIR!!!
oooookay so the platinum did nothing, the "plum" is just straight red, the black isn't even close to black, and the bronde is just yellow.... i know what I'm not buying from Target
ALSO after some quick research... I'm starting to think this is a back alley, undisclosed sponsorship / affiliate / something like that. Not confirmed, just speculation, but the amazon link Brad put in the description isn't the normal link to the product page. There's a bunch of extra stuff in the URL after the Amazon product code that makes me think this is an affiliate link. Again, just speculation, but this whole thing seems sus...
edit: after scrolling through the comments and seeing other people convinced that the amazon link is an affiliate link... I'm almost certain this is an undisclosed sponsorship / affiliate (which is not only shady as fuck but also illegal as fuck)
Oh snap
But the “black” is supposed to be neutral brown not black so if we go off that then it is the correct color
@@angelicahamptonhendrix1386 first of all he didn't even bother to put the glosses on the proper colors of hair, so nobody knows what they're supposed to look like. what I'm saying is that is very clearly an undisclosed advertisement, which extremely shady and illegal
@@catman6089 understandable I was pointing out a silver lining
I feel like he was payed but don’t be rude I bet u would do it too and that is that. He is such a good TH-camr and you are going to make him feel bad because this hurts people and nobody realizes it I think that you just was upset and that’s ok but I think we all including me need to understand that words hurt and he has probably read this or is going too and it will make him feel bad. He works so hard for everything so give him a break
Edit: it has been like 5 seconds but I just want to say that I hope lots of people see this so it will just remind them that words hurt and I also just read your other comment and unless you are a professional hairstylist he knows way more than you do so maybe just cut him some slack I mean man
This video 100% convinced me to never buy that.
It's not a dye. It's a gloss and he used it wrong.
@@19kelsinator90 You are right, and I do understand it is not due. Just a gloss.
@@19kelsinator90 How is he a"professional hair stylist" then?
@@CyberWarezz05 i mean, he works in a ny hairsalon and studied many years sooo,,, just looking at the facts tho lol
@@CyberWarezz05 maybe he lied to us all along yk, totally could be
As long as the products packaging is pretty then it’s high quality.... got it
Was this a paid video? Half of these colors didn’t even do anything and he’s acting like it’s great...I’m confused.
Same I thought so too like making a whole video on one brand is kinda sus
I’ve been waiting for help on tone!
I see better options at Sally's, very sus
I did think this but don’t creators have to put in disclaimers on any products that are sponsored or gifted now?
He never criticizes any brand but softly tells the audience the pros and cons. Now it is upto the audience to decide. Its basic etiquettes that businesses follow. If they dont, they would face criticism in return.
It’s not meant to change the hair color completely, just to enhance and give a tint. The color depositing conditioner is the color changer
this felt like an AD... commenting on the colour marveling that its pre-measured? all boxed dye is pre-measured... isnt it?
This!
I think it’s cuz it’s toner and usually you have to mix your own. But idk for sure
@@stephanieb1127 I get it but if you're buying a boxed one time use product from target. They want you to have everything you need they don't expect you to buy a scale gloves or a bowl. you expect it pre measured. Same as color remover, hair dye, or bleach that you would buy at the same location of target since the products are not aimed at professionals
I love watching Brad but honestly I am disappointed with his lack of commitment in this video. I was really let down by the fact that he expected these boxes to work on hair that wasn’t even the right color for each of them. The black should have been done on a much darker brown or black hair, same for the plum color. The blonde really could have been less yellow when he started, and the Carmel color could have been lighter with more obvious highlights as well. I have been watching Brad for years now, but he truly showed in this video that he either isn’t as knowledgeable as he claims to be or he just didn’t care to give the products a fair shot on hair that was right for them. Not to mention he didn’t even wet 3 of the sections which could change the result of the product. Overall, I wasn’t impressed with Brad in this video and I hope that he steps back and realizes that him reviewing these products actually effects a women’s life and livelihood and it was ultimately his fault he didn’t get the results he wanted.
He only did this video for money tbh
I wonder if he realizes that doing this for money actually dents his reputation as a"professional hair stylist"
That red one didn’t work out at all as it was actually supposed to (like the actual color it shows on the box), because it says on the site “..adding deep burgundy tone to *color treated or naturally brown hair.”* I think that the shade you dyed it on was too light in order to give it that burgundy color she intended
Edit: Yeah I read more about that color and it also says “Choose this color if you have dark hair and want to add a rich burgundy tone.”
sounds like i should get it lmao
Exactly! What does he expect 😐 kinda sus that he’s a stylist
AGAIN this proves brad is JUST an entertainment youtube hairdresser who got lucky, he is not a serious stylist at all, only knows the basics. He has proven this time and time again with his lack of knowledge, its actually becoming humorous now
@@justentertainingtv9686 you're absolutely right, lol. He doesn't even hide it, always confused or wrong about something in his reactions, so I hope people do their own research and watch him for entertainment only.
This video is pretty much an ad though - they had to have approved the content beforehand.
It is surprising though he didn’t make the mannequins dark hair darker-but he probably expected the gloss to act more like a dye and take it even darker/more purple
Can we talk about the ultra hype girl intern? She said, vomit worthy, disgusting! 😂
This almost felt like an ad hahaha
Almost?
Pretty sure it was
I’m here to VOUCH for this as well! I have dark brown hair with a pretty light balayage that tends to go brassy over time. I HANDS DOWN rely on this to keep the brass in check between salon appointments. I will say though - it really is not dramatic in terms of color change if you stay within your level. I suspect the reason is that 1) it’s only 6.6 volume developer and 2) it’s better to not make a huge color difference then to walk away with totally fucked up hair that is 2x darker than anticipated (like with many other demis). The payoff of healthy silky shiny hair alone is worth it, even if the color isn’t dramatic. Also Brad is right, the pictures on the box are 100% misleading (EXCEPT for Smoky Topaz, my color choice, that’s pretty accurate).
anyone else think this feels like an add?
I wish there was a disclaimer on this video about whatever sponsorship relationship happened here...
There's an affiliate link so it's definitely an add.
It is he left a Amazon link, we don't stan dishonesty. I have unsubbed
Am I the one who noticed his hair had the same color with his table. But I love the color of his hair. Love you Brad
I’ve used these twice. He’s right about the hair being soft and shiny after, but I’ve never gotten the right or expected tone and it washes out after only a handful of washes.
That's super disappointing!
i used the black one on my brown hair because i wanted to get rid of highlights that were coming through from previous dye, mine held for like months, i also don’t wash my hair every day so maybe that’s why it lasted so long for me
Is it at all damaging?
@@HonesttoRatruth of course its going to be somewhat damaging
@@HonesttoRatruth i didn’t notice any damage my hair felt a lot softer and my curls were less frizzy but don’t take my word for it
When every freakin shade of blue is your favourite**
Brad**
❤️❤️💙💙
You were so nice here for those being catfish colors. 😂
he also didn’t follow the directions
@@kiarasoldano7246 he makes his own directions
I always get confused when Brad talks about hair dye, but every time I still try my best to understand!
This is an undisclosed ad 😖 He hit all the talking points that the sponsored videos are required to do.
C’mon brad. You’re really gonna do that to us????
I use the Kristan Ess gloss and it works wonderfully. He’s speaking facts.
@@brittneynicole2248 Me, too. I love it.
I love how you are willing to try new products for us even tho its not your own product! I appreciate all the efforts you put into every video!💖💖🥰
When you are somewhat early but somewhat late.... anyone?
it means you on time lol
true true
I love how all of the colors are on the hair together like that... I think I'm gonna try that that color style sometime myself! And then when he pulled back the hair.......😨😱😍😍
Miss Mannequins hair reminds me of those 4 flavor pies that are sectioned off in the container!
I have been using these for a few years now, I have been blonde, berry, and purple, before heading back to my natural auburn, and these have been my favorite things to boost or tone my colors, particularly this year.
When your early your just like: 👁👄👁

girl be honest your only early so you could comment i know y'all didn't really come for the vid it's ok tho cause we all do that

I actually really like brad- I comment like and then watch the whole thing 💜
My highlights grew out and because covid is getting bad again, I don’t feel comfortable going to a salon.. I wasn’t sure what I was gonna do but this looks perfect 😍
When you so early you don't know what to say
Your hair looks great btw❤
Literally haha
yep
Wait... I like your last name🤣🤣🤣 I've never seen anyone else have the same last name as me🤣😳
Me all the timeeee😂😂😂💔
@@rileywilliamson1621 Omg sammeee haha so cool😂
I’m honestly in love with how Brad’s color is fading.
Okay but can we just talk about the quality of Kristen Ess products, I have had better results with her purple shampoo then anything.
BRAD THAT BRONDE COLOR IS GORGEOUS
I feel that this is sponsored bc we know how Brad rly feels about box dyes 😂 we get in trouble for purchasing those 🤭🤭🤭
Just bought a box and I have not box dyed my hair since I was 15. Been 18 years also Been in the salon sense! And my lady is amazing. Worth the $$$$ because I go very blonde
sallies is like lowe’s. it’s for people who know what they’re looking for XD
😭😭
Hilarious!
😭😭
I'm getting mermaid vibes from your hair and it's fantastic im so here for it
“WhEn YoUR So EaRlY tHaT YoU DoNt kNoW wHat tO TyPe” shut the frig up 🥰
Meeeee tho
im so early idk what to type1!1!1!
Can you try the loreal creme gloss toner? It’s my favorite 😍
I wouldn’t buy this based off of how poorly the colors turned out. I buy dye because I want to *dye my hair*, not just make it shiny and turn it a random color that doesn’t match what I expected😐
It’s toner not dye this may have been confusing because how much he said color but toner is color just way more subtle
Firstly this is toner, not what you’re thinking of when you say dye. Secondly, he used it incorrectly, a key thing was to apply it to wet hair. He did that for one section then completely forgot the rest of the hair.
These are glosses. You don’t buy lip gloss and think you’ll get a lipstick, do you?
@@chocolate_chip_cooky9499 okay that helps. But still, what it shows on the box is absolute bullshit. I’d be pissed if I got a box that showed those images and my color was 10% as vibrant/pigmented as advertised.
You are singlehandedly putting the box dye business out of business and I am HERE FOR IT BRAD hehe
VIDEO IDEA: you’re always getting messages from people about advice on what to do with their hair, I think you should do like a FaceTime talk show thing where you just do short FaceTime calls with fans to tell them what to do with their hair and why so we can all get a good idea of why and what we should do for ourselves! Love ya beautiful!♥️XOXO
Years ago (we're talking 90s), there was a product sold in Walmart/KMart called "Casting" by L'Oreal (you can still find it on Amazon) that was meant to just amp up the color you already have while adding a bit of a gloss/shine. This is just the 2020 version of that. I also thought he was VERY forgiving, saying he LOOOOVED this, but along the way, he had plenty of criticism to add to the video. I found that puzzling.
React to Morgan Adams hair dying video and give her a Mondo Makeover!!!
Please test more Kristen Ess products!!!!! I use their shampoo and conditioner but I don’t know if it’s actually good for my hair or not! PLEASE
Me being Canadian and not having Target or Sally's.☹😅🤣
I love the results he got with the gloss! But I LOVED the color that was on the right side of Ms. Mannequin’s hair! Love watching your videos! 💙💙. 😉🍍
Finally something I can afford.
JK Something my parents can afford. 😂
Cause lets be honest here i am broke AS HELL🤦♀️🤣
Can I just say how that color is so amazing on you 💙💙😍😍
this is the amount of people who think Brad should colab with Roly
10th
The piercing guy? Brad has no piercings and Roly has no hair what would they collab on lol
@@lizolizowa I just feel like their vibes are the same, both are fun and vibrant, maybe they could watch a mix of hair fails and piercing fails
Who?
' I love this product '
me: but..... it doesn't actually work as advertised.... it's a scam technically lmao.
And he usually hates box dye? I feel like he is trying to be supportive of his friend's products which seem just ok to me.
He reminded me of dexter in his apron. Especially when he had the toner on his hands.
I don't know why I got Dexter vibes when Brad showed his hands and said "I swear I haven't hurt anybody" 😅
You guys make it sound like he “loves” this, nah he admits it’s flaws.
Ikr
its so refreshing for a hairstylist to be famous and yk whos not directly attached to that 'makeup/beauty community' i think??? like for a past few years all we were seeing was makeup palletes makeup and just makeup. that was really annoying. Brad's content is so refreshing, so informative and so addictive!!! 😂
Imagine how cool braids would look with having these four colors on your head.
I went and tried many colors for a long time. But blonde is my color too lol no shame, just makes me glow.
Brad Mondo: a professional hairstylist
Also Brad Mondo: keeps the safety seal tip on the applicator bottle even after mixing the colors inside (which can lead to the mixtures exploding during the chemical reaction)
I was thinking the same thing!
oh my god YES!!! Brad saw my comment about Kristen Ess products 🤩😭🥺 IM SO HAPPY HE MADE THIS VIDEO!!!!!
also yes i’m pretty sure others commented requesting KE reviews as well!!!
he's been looking a bit tired/maybe bored lately.. brad are u okay??? u can always take a break whenever u want!! we want u to be happy and healthy please
Brad. Officially starting the new quad color trend.
Who else wants brad to fry his hair orange or red or bight pink???🙋
Heat miser vibes
Orange would look bad ass
Fry it up, Brad!

This is basically nothing else but a boy dye, just the marketing is fancier. Many box dyes have no Ammonia
