Same! I've been cutting my own 3a hair for years. My hair is too frizzy and poufy to ever look elegant, but it hides cutting mistakes really well. And imo at this point I'm doing a better job than many hairdressers I've been to who didn't know what to do with curly hair at all. 😅
When they grow too long, it is real PITB. At some point my long hair were waking me up at night because I would lie on them and couldn't move myself freely when sleeping. That was the moment they needed to go immediately. I wonder what is the reason that some people grow hair like weed, and others have trouble with it. For me, I don't ever do anything special, they just grow. It could be the genes@@TheDragiix3
thats curly hair for you. as someone who cuts their own hair and has curly hair, i have messed up haircuts more times than i can count, but because its naturally curly it always ends up looking good 🤣
@@insquidio0us Having wavy hair has absolutely saved my last-minute self-inflicted haircuts, lol. People have even asked me where I went for my great new cut after I hacked it off myself.

@@wolfsmaid6815 That's the beauty of having options. You can always wear hair extensions, weaves, or wigs until your hair grows back. Fake it til you make it! 😂
I cut my waist length, thick, healthy hair into a pixie 7 years ago and have NEVER regretted it! So much lighter, less time styling & have tried every color now bc the damage gets cut off regularly.😍 These girls look beautiful before & after too!❤
Most people who have ever had waist length hair and make the decision to cut it never want to have hair that long ever again. I know, as I was one of them! I didn’t cut it as short as you did but I never want that hassle again. I had an aunt who had hair down to her calves and she gave herself a pixie cut about thirty years ago and she has kept it that short ever since. She loves it. When I see people saying they want to grow their hair that long I always think to myself “Good luck to you” and heave a sigh of relief.😂😂
well, I had the opposite experience. I cut my long hair into a short bob and hated it so much. I felt ugly and unfeminine and was trying to grow it back to waist length for years, now after 10 years I‘m almost there and I am so much happier with it. But to each their own, as long as you‘re happy. :)
I absolutely love his videos and learning from hair dressers. I seriously don’t trust myself to do a decent hair cut on myself. I would ruin my thick, curly hair. I always know I can absolutely trust my sister to do it.
Brad I just want you to know that every time I’m feeling so much grief, I come here to watch your videos, have a laugh and try to forget what’s going on in my life. Single mom of two going thru a messy divorce and I’m devastated. Thank you for reminding me I’m beautiful when my ex did everything to make me feel anything but. Sending you love. Thanks for all the good energy and the laughs ❤️
Lady you got this!! I am a single Mom of 3 and been going through a messy divorce for almost a year. Men are disgusting and what they try to do to us woman by knocking us down is horrible! You ARE beautiful! Believe in yourself and keep moving forward! You ARE a champion!! ❤ So much love is being sent your way!!
They truly have my admiration. These ladies have balls I’ll never have! I’d freak out if my girl cut more than an inch! My hair is such a huge part of my identity.
I, personally, love A-line bobs on myself. Really straight, thin hair, and it helps add volume to my hair without having to spend much time on it. If it takes me more than 5 minutes to dry my hair, it's too long lol.
The first girl really warmed my heart. I am SO attached to my long hair, but also, I have trichotillomania which means I often find myself with bald spots or damaged ends that I need to chop off, and it always feels tragic to me. It feels really nice to see someone who doesn't see it as tragic and who feels absolutely beautiful!
As a 40-year-old guy with long, dark curly hair I sometimes think about chopping it and going super platinum blonde - then get the fear it won't grow back and will be bald underneath! These kids are braver than me 😅
Red, curly haired 33 yers old woman, terrified to colour my hair, cause I have weird fear to loose my natural red colour 🤷♀️ I also think they are super brave 😊
I went from mid back length hair to shaved to bald because of chemo and it was honestly pretty fun. lol I had a ton of wigs which fed my urge for waist length to pixie length hair. It’s now a wild curly mess from growing back and I’m absolutely living for it. lol
Its actually satisfying to see them take so much hair off , you know all that hair is so heavy and takes forever to dry 😅 i think the bobs are pretty cute too even if they might need some evening out
I *cannot recommend enough* get THINNING SHEARS!!! I’ve been maintaining my own pixie cut for 8 months with nothing but thinning shears and hair scissors. If you follow Brad’s rules, then go in with thinning shears, Voilá, layers🙌🏼🙌🏼 Also, they come in handy with Wolf and Butterfly cuts, I did the wolf cut on my own last year, it came out great! Thank you for your videos, Brad🩵🩵
I got the proper hair cutting/thinning scissors several months ago, took an insane number of precautions, and gave myself a butterfly cut. I'm going to go for the wolf cut soon. My hair lost very little length, but a ton of weight! I felt 20 pounds lighter. Of course, it's super thick and down past my butt. If it's above my waist, I feel half naked, so no shoulder length hair for me. 😆 I love the waviness and curtain bangs, but think I'll like it a bit choppy for a more noticeable effect, as well as cutting it back up to my waistline. My neck definitely thanks Brad for his videos and advice. I didn't even know what thinning shears were before and never layered it because that always made it feel heavier for some reason.
The 3rd lady had me dying when she talked about the struggle of 10 minutes to blow dry her hair. 😂😂😂 my curly hair takes sooooooo much longer than that to dry
My hair is wavy, but with the length and weight you can really only tell when it's wet or I've air dried it. It isn't anywhere near as thick as it was before my thyroid crashed, but it still takes upwards of an hour to get it sort of dry. It's also down past my butt, so there's that, too. 🤣 I gave myself the butterfly cut several months ago, after months of psyching myself up, and ended up doing it 3 times because I was taking no chances. 🤪I typically keep it to my waist. With it layered and thinned using the proper shears (and cutting it wet) I felt like 20 pounds was gone. It cuts about 10-15 minutes off the drying time. My arms and neck thank me. 😅
I had a teacher in high school with really short hair, like just below her ears, but it grew fast and by my senior year it was a lovely length past her shoulders. I mentioned once that I thought the longer hair looked nice and added a lot of texture. She said thank you and told me the reason it had been so short when we met. Since she was 15 she’s grown it out and donated it, usually letting it get as close to her waist as she could before each donation. She’d just turned 40 and was still doing it! I ran into her recently (it’s been 11 years) and she had a fresh bob. Love that lady 🩷
I start the 5th week of cosmotology school and I love EVERY BIT of it!! Brad is definitely inspiring and has helped me cut and color my own hair! Love you Brad!!! ❤
I recently cut my hair with the wolf cut style and I’m loving it!! My hair is normally curly and I cut it straight and love how it looks curly as well! After having so many hairstylists mess my hair up your video helped me cut it well and looking amazing ❤😍
Please make sure if you’re donating hair you’re sending it to someone who gives them away rather than the ones who gets hair for free then charges $1000 for a wig.
@@stephm2429as far as I know, Hair We Share only accepts natural or color treated hair, but not bleached or lightened donations. I'm not aware of any that accept lightened hair as it's considered "compromised"
does anyone else miss brads original intros, the hey beautiful and then the little chat after!! i miss it, the little talk at the beginning made it feel so personal i miss it brad please bring it back 💞💞
I miss the old Brad. We all can transform and evolve, and I'm sure it must be so so difficult in the public eye. BUT, it sounds forced and that makes me sad. He is trying to change his voice and make it deeper but it sounds so unnatural. Love the new hair and clothes and vibe...
I will grow out my hair periodically, to my mid back, and then I’ll cut it above my shoulders. Whenever my hair is long, I think it’s so pretty in pictures and everyone always comments on how pretty and long it is- but it becomes such a hassle and I just end up being so annoyed with it on a day to day basis! It just gets so heavy, and bodyless, and frizzy. Then I cut it! And I love it eeeevery time and I feel so free and cute and less bogged down by my hair. And the only regret I ever feel is sometimes feeling the societal pressure that long hair is prettier😅 but then I’m like… yeah but I’m happy so who cares!
I only recently trimmed like two inches off my hair after watching Brad for like five years and watching another curly stylist. At least with curly hair, the unevenness is easier to hide. I’d never cut my own hair if it was straight like some of these girls.
Brad, I need to make a confession… During the height of covid I wanted to cut my hair and shave the side (mistake!). I naturally didn’t have hairdressing scissors or hair clippers… but I didn’t wanna use the kitchen or craft scissors and I did have a dog grooming kit… you see where I’m going with this? Lol
We used our dogs grooming kit to cut my bfs hair during lockdown. He has very GROEGEOUS THICK WAVY hair. He was so hot and miserable so we just grabbed the grooming kit, since the dog saw a groomer anyway and we had used it once. It got the job done.
I got a hot pink crew cut during the height of the pandemic. Then used XMondo colors to change the color every few months for nearly a year. It has since all grown out and now I have an appointment on the 27th to go blonde! And no, I’m not going to try to do it myself. I’ve watched too many of these videos to try that again!
Honestly I love them all. Such a vibe. I remember getting my long hair cut back in the day, from the ribs to the chin, and it was so scary but so freeing. And now I'm growing a mullet, lol. At the end of the day, hair is just hair. It'll grow back. So fuck it, right?
I have watched sooo many of these DIY hair cuts and I will say I have learned so much from them. My hair is very thick and goes way beyond past my shoulders. However I have a very small framed face. Though thnx to Brad’s advice on how to do the Butterfly cut; my hair looks sooo much better, it’s healthier, it’s layered and I’m glad I didn’t have it be a disaster. Definitely wet your hair everyone before you cut it, big game changer for when I did mine.
I have curly hair, and for me, a hair dresser getting it wet before cutting is a BIG no-no. I need to be cut curl by curl and so, cutting it dry is the best way.
Brad you made me laugh sooo much that I had tears rolling down my cheeks . I love , love watching your videos . Much love from across the pond . England 🏴
One of my life-long fantasies has been to chop my own hair off. I've never done it and have always had long hair, but I'd love to chop it off one day. On a side note, Brad you look particularly good in this video! 😍
You should definitely cut it at least once. I cut my very long hair into a VERY short cut and I loved it. It was such a confidence boost. Now I’m back to my long hair again but I’m so glad I chopped it all off
"That was like a good eight inches. And I know eight inches when I see it." Same, Brad, same. What? I used to work in a print shop, and used a commercial paper cutter. 😜
Brad I need more curly content please. Cuts, colors, and styles!! My 3c curls have lived 33 years almost always in a bun because I was never taught how to care for it. I've done my research, but I want your advice and tutorials. I've already seen all of your videos over the years, and I've learned so much. Thank you for existing ❤❤❤
Brad Brad Brad. Your reactions never disappoints. 😂. Thank goodness we have brave souls out there cutting their own hair. I have really long hair. These videos keep inspiring me to get my hair cut. Not by me by a professional. I am just not there yet. One day just not today. Love your videos keep them coming. Be safe ❤😊❤
When the second girl cut her hair with it still tucked behind her ear, then couldn't understand why there was a weird little point in the front when she untucked it 🤣
I just did the big chop last weekend. I was going to do it myself but my lovely husband offered to do it and it turned out SO CUTE. So much lighter and healthier feeling
I bought 4 bottles of your hair dye absolutely in love with it ❤ when I can afford to get your products for healthy hair I definitely will totally love you and your channel 💗 ❤️
lol the kitchen scissors always crack me up bc I got my pretty decent hair cutting scissors set on amazon for like $12.. been cutting my own wavy/curly hair with no issues for a few years now! 🤦♀️
😂 I had cut nearly 14” off my head 2 years ago. Had about 1” left…felt weird at first but I was able to grow it back quickly. It’s much healthier. Love these videos btw ❤
I’ve worn my hair long with no bangs for about 30 years. I thought for some reason that I wouldn’t be beautiful any other way. Well, about 3 months ago I got my hair cut to above shoulder bob with bangs/fringe. I have never felt cuter and wonder why it took me so long. I also stopped dying my hair about 5 years ago, and I did that since I was 16. It’s a great change for me. Something very empowering to cut off most of your hair, as a woman. Just, don’t do it yourself 😂
I'm actually wondering about doing that too! I've had the same hairstyle for about 20 years now and I'm really starting to think about how I would look like with short hair >\\< I couldn't muster the courage yet~ though it will grow back eventually
Same. But seeing multiple comments like this has made me feel better lol. We're talking about the same guy who loves mullets though, so... I'll take hairstyling and maintenance advice from him, but he can keep his style opinions to himself.
My niece is two and scared of getting her hair cut but has a ridiculous amount of hair for a 2-yesr-old. So my sister and I tricked her and told her I was braiding her hair. Since she was so squirmy I used the pony tail method to get it done quick and man did it work well. I sectioned but only put an elastic in one part at a time. That way, for each new section, I was able to add a small bit of adjacent hair that was already cut as my guide. This was a game-changing way for cutting a toddlers hair. She now has a bob just above her shoulders, and it's the cutest.
You beast! She didn’t want short hair and you tricked her and gave it to her anyway? My mom did this to me once and I was sooo sad! I hated my hair until it grew back.
@loveshell6945 no, she's scared of haircuts. Like many toddlers, she thinks it will hurt. It had nothing to do with wanting short hair or not. She didn't even notice a change.
@bradmondo idk if you’ll ever see this but I recently followed your butterfly cut tutorial and it was so cute but then I caught the hair cutting bug and I wanted to go shorter. So I followed your “cut your own hair at home” tutorial and took my hair to shoulder length. Let me tell you, I felt so free and so light, I’m living my best extra life right now! And today at work, I have never received so many compliments for an at home hair cut before! Thank you so much!! My goal next year is to get a pixie cut *by a professional* and color it dark blue and green. But for now I’m love my hair!
I blame the dramatic effect that we see in movies where the woman cuts her hair dramatically different and does so in heavy chunks to show the “RIP to the old me” effect. It’s a canon event we cannot interfere.
My daughter thought she wanted to go real short. Her hair was down to the middle of her back. I talked her into only cutting about 3” inches between cuts/trims. She made it up to just below her shoulders and wanted to stop. She was glad I told her that. Our hair grows slow.
I did a pixie cut with micro bangs, and I just figured out how to style it like a scenemo queen, and I didn't record it, but the hair gods (and the incredibly dull kitchen scissors) f***Ed me over
the third one might have dried her hair before cutting because she might keep the braids in case she still finds a place she can donate them to :) before i cut mine to donate it, i was also told to cut it dry to make sure the hair is completely dry when it's sent
I impulsively cut off 12" of my hair the other day. I did the method of parting it down the middle in 2 sections and pulling them forward. I know you said that creates a "v" in the back but it actually turned out perfectly for me. Idk if it's because my hair is straight on top and super curly underneath but something made it work. I should've filmed it so you could explain how I avoided that. Anyways, you can carry on with the video now lol
As someone who had my hair cut from waist length to a bob by my grandma when I was 7 (she told me and my mom she was going to give me long layers, I ended in a mullet type thing) I have severe anxiety from watching long hair be cut because I’ve been struggling to grow out my hair ever since (won’t grow past my shoulders now :( )
I'm sorry that your hair won't grow now. My mom cut mine to my shoulders and gave me bangs when I was 6. I HATED it! After that, I fought tooth and nail to keep it long, including my bangs. It's been down to my knees once, is past my butt now, and I typically keep it to my waist. (These videos give me anxiety, too, but also valuable information). My mom talked me into cutting my hair again when I was 18 because of my headaches, but it didn't help, and I've kept it super long ever since. I have long curtain bangs now, but they'll probably never be short. If you haven't tried them, there are drinks and supplements you can take to strengthen your hair (and nails) to help get strength and growth. You can also try horse shampoo and conditioner. You can get it at the store now, but for years it was a "secret weapon" amongst horse people. Show horses do better in many competitions with long, lustrous manes and tails. Maybe it could help you, too.
I feel the 2nd girl. I got the long hair I wanted (longer than 3rd girl), but it's just so... damaged. It feels like straw, matts ups, and doesn't shine. It only looks nice the first day after a shower. Natural hair, never been dyed, always air dried. It happens every time my hair gets to a certain length. My hair gets so fried during sleep. I'll go to bed with healthy feeling hair and wake up with crunchy tangled, straw hair. I only recently started wearing bonnets (can't get them to stay on yet) and using leave in conditioners, but I feel like it's too late. Might be one of these girls soon lmao.
Not sure if you want tips, I had the same problem. I'd suggest towel drying you hair until its damp and using low heat to dry, air drying can weigh the hair down for a long time and can cause breakage. Another thing I did was invest in a satin pillowcase and a few satin scrunchies. Put your hair up before you go to bed, all the tossing and turning can cause hair to get tangled and caught and pulled which can cause breakage. cotton pillow cases are really rough so its like rubbing sandpaper against your hair, even if you tie it up, satin offers little resistance and the hair slides along the pillow instead of getting rubbed but rough fibers. Just a few things I've picked up. My hair is short right now because I hate how long it takes to dry, but my hair before cutting was shiny and healthy.
If you want to keep your hair, invest in a silk pillowcase - As someone with long curly hair, sleeping with your hair unwrapped and unprotected will completely destroy it, fast. Learned this the hard way and to chop everything off back in college
Aw man, I didn't know it was THAT bad. People just look at me like I'm crazy when I say my sleep fries my hair xD Much appreciated! I'll be cutting it and starting over soon, taking these tips with me.@@CrystalRose1111

Yeah having curls is a real cheat code to at home haircuts. I've given myself some horrible cuts but nobody could tell cuz I never straighten it lol 😂

I didn't realize a-line was out of style? Oh well who cares lol... It's about what you like and I think it's a cute cut. ✂️
@@dazem8I also love A line bobs on other people
Same! My hair is so fine and straight that A-line bobs look good and healthy on my hair. Guess I’m out of fashion 😂
I think A-line bobs are cute.
5 minutes!? Girl even after I’ve towel dried it takes me 30-60 minutes to blowdry my hair 😭
I haven't watched Brad in a good while and coming back he doesn't disappoint I love this new rugged vibe and his more unhinged funny personality 😂
Yeahhh😂 very less people noticed this, also the sounds and editing is amazing
Brad I love when you open up with “hi beautiful “… even though you are talking to everyone, it still makes me feel good❤
Can I just say that I love that you get straight into it and don't have a long intro that most people skip anyway
Had to stop the video, cause I'M ☠️☠️☠️!! "I KNOW 8" WHEN I SEE IT"!?!? LMFAO🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh, Brad, you always make my day! 💜🇨🇦
I’m here for this 🤣
I was looking for this comment
That part 😂
I love A-line bobs, it can really give volume to thin hair.
Also i appreciated the 8 inches quip 😂
Girl yes. I wanted my long hair forever until I started doing blunt lobs/bobs. My hair feels way thicker and nicer since
The last girl with the curls!!! 😍😍😍 Stunning! She does look like a different person, in the best way. Loved it
The first girl really warmed my heart. I am SO attached to my long hair, but also, I have trichotillomania which means I often find myself with bald spots or damaged ends that I need to chop off, and it always feels tragic to me.
It feels really nice to see someone who doesn't see it as tragic and who feels absolutely beautiful!
As a 40-year-old guy with long, dark curly hair I sometimes think about chopping it and going super platinum blonde - then get the fear it won't grow back and will be bald underneath! These kids are braver than me 😅
Red, curly haired 33 yers old woman, terrified to colour my hair, cause I have weird fear to loose my natural red colour 🤷♀️ I also think they are super brave 😊
Bc they r still kids, so even if they mess up they'll still look adorable and spunky, whereas I'll just look like a sloppy 🌽-ball
Live your best life & "JUST DO IT"!!!😊
Maybe you can try a male platinum wig so that you see if you're comfortable with the look. Then, if you really like it, go for it on your hair.
@amsterdamesome of them are....... I wouldn't presume to know 100%, but a lot of people who end up on these videos are young.
To see them so happy with the outcome makes it not matter how it actually turned out i feel ❤
but in general i prefer long hair, i always regret when cutting off mine 😅
I went from mid back length hair to shaved to bald because of chemo and it was honestly pretty fun. lol I had a ton of wigs which fed my urge for waist length to pixie length hair. It’s now a wild curly mess from growing back and I’m absolutely living for it. lol
I blame Fa Mulan for people thinking they can just hack off hair and expect it to work 🤦🏿♀️
Lmao so true
And Brad is our Mushu sent by the ancestors to save us from ourselves! 🐉
@@morganmills13 😂
The problem is they aren’t using a sword.
But then again, it pretty much *did* work for all these people, despite Brad's doubts.
Its actually satisfying to see them take so much hair off , you know all that hair is so heavy and takes forever to dry 😅 i think the bobs are pretty cute too even if they might need some evening out
Cutting hair after brkup is free therapy
Brad you are so naturally hilarious and entertaining to watch! Love your videos. I’m addicted and I want to color my hair so badly lol
I LOVED my a-line bob!! I think it looks so so good and very 90s!
I *cannot recommend enough* get THINNING SHEARS!!! I’ve been maintaining my own pixie cut for 8 months with nothing but thinning shears and hair scissors. If you follow Brad’s rules, then go in with thinning shears, Voilá, layers🙌🏼🙌🏼 Also, they come in handy with Wolf and Butterfly cuts, I did the wolf cut on my own last year, it came out great! Thank you for your videos, Brad🩵🩵
I got the proper hair cutting/thinning scissors several months ago, took an insane number of precautions, and gave myself a butterfly cut. I'm going to go for the wolf cut soon. My hair lost very little length, but a ton of weight! I felt 20 pounds lighter. Of course, it's super thick and down past my butt. If it's above my waist, I feel half naked, so no shoulder length hair for me. 😆 I love the waviness and curtain bangs, but think I'll like it a bit choppy for a more noticeable effect, as well as cutting it back up to my waistline. My neck definitely thanks Brad for his videos and advice. I didn't even know what thinning shears were before and never layered it because that always made it feel heavier for some reason.
Brad I will say my niece did your butterfly cut. She followed your instructions to the "T" it turned out so beautiful! You would be proud.
The 3rd lady had me dying when she talked about the struggle of 10 minutes to blow dry her hair. 😂😂😂 my curly hair takes sooooooo much longer than that to dry
😂😂😂 my hair is tiny coily hair it takes 1 hour with a blow dry to dry it and even then it's not dry enough
@@LilEmmaMaphika seriously!
My hair is wavy, but with the length and weight you can really only tell when it's wet or I've air dried it. It isn't anywhere near as thick as it was before my thyroid crashed, but it still takes upwards of an hour to get it sort of dry. It's also down past my butt, so there's that, too. 🤣 I gave myself the butterfly cut several months ago, after months of psyching myself up, and ended up doing it 3 times because I was taking no chances. 🤪I typically keep it to my waist. With it layered and thinned using the proper shears (and cutting it wet) I felt like 20 pounds was gone. It cuts about 10-15 minutes off the drying time. My arms and neck thank me. 😅
The edited sad music while she talked about it was hilarious!
I had a teacher in high school with really short hair, like just below her ears, but it grew fast and by my senior year it was a lovely length past her shoulders.
I mentioned once that I thought the longer hair looked nice and added a lot of texture. She said thank you and told me the reason it had been so short when we met.
Since she was 15 she’s grown it out and donated it, usually letting it get as close to her waist as she could before each donation. She’d just turned 40 and was still doing it! I ran into her recently (it’s been 11 years) and she had a fresh bob. Love that lady 🩷
That is such a sweet thing!!!
I start the 5th week of cosmotology school and I love EVERY BIT of it!! Brad is definitely inspiring and has helped me cut and color my own hair! Love you Brad!!! ❤
I think that all the girls look so fabulous with their haircuts! ✨️
I recently cut my hair with the wolf cut style and I’m loving it!! My hair is normally curly and I cut it straight and love how it looks curly as well! After having so many hairstylists mess my hair up your video helped me cut it well and looking amazing ❤😍
Please make sure if you’re donating hair you’re sending it to someone who gives them away rather than the ones who gets hair for free then charges $1000 for a wig.
Locks of love sells what they don't use, pretty sure that lawsuit is still going on
Agreed! I donated to Hair We Share 🙋🏻♀️ they do not charge for the wigs they make & accept color-treated hair donations 🫶
^THIS! Donate to Children with Hair Loss
@kitty_p0p do you know of any organizations that accept lightened hair?
@@stephm2429as far as I know, Hair We Share only accepts natural or color treated hair, but not bleached or lightened donations. I'm not aware of any that accept lightened hair as it's considered "compromised"
Love the result and attitude of the first person!!!
does anyone else miss brads original intros, the hey beautiful and then the little chat after!! i miss it, the little talk at the beginning made it feel so personal i miss it brad please bring it back 💞💞
I miss the old Brad. We all can transform and evolve, and I'm sure it must be so so difficult in the public eye. BUT, it sounds forced and that makes me sad. He is trying to change his voice and make it deeper but it sounds so unnatural. Love the new hair and clothes and vibe...
I will grow out my hair periodically, to my mid back, and then I’ll cut it above my shoulders. Whenever my hair is long, I think it’s so pretty in pictures and everyone always comments on how pretty and long it is- but it becomes such a hassle and I just end up being so annoyed with it on a day to day basis! It just gets so heavy, and bodyless, and frizzy.
Then I cut it! And I love it eeeevery time and I feel so free and cute and less bogged down by my hair. And the only regret I ever feel is sometimes feeling the societal pressure that long hair is prettier😅 but then I’m like… yeah but I’m happy so who cares!
“It’s so long and there’s so much” oh boo boo 😂😂 please give me 1/4 that amount of hair
honestly the 1st girl was such a vibe. i love her idgaf attitude, and the bob did end up looking rlly good on her
The girl who did 6 ponytails was sooo satisfying to watch the cut, but I think it came out pretty similar to everyone elses.
I only recently trimmed like two inches off my hair after watching Brad for like five years and watching another curly stylist. At least with curly hair, the unevenness is easier to hide. I’d never cut my own hair if it was straight like some of these girls.
As someone with waist length hair, this was the scariest video I’ve watched all day and I watch true crime….😬😳
The 3rd girl did the best home cut job I've seen. She put so much effort into it.
Brad, I need to make a confession…
During the height of covid I wanted to cut my hair and shave the side (mistake!). I naturally didn’t have hairdressing scissors or hair clippers… but I didn’t wanna use the kitchen or craft scissors and I did have a dog grooming kit… you see where I’m going with this? Lol
We need pictures or a video 😂
That's what I did for my hair 😆
We used our dogs grooming kit to cut my bfs hair during lockdown. He has very GROEGEOUS THICK WAVY hair. He was so hot and miserable so we just grabbed the grooming kit, since the dog saw a groomer anyway and we had used it once. It got the job done.
Why a mistake?? Lol I've had both sides shaved for years now. I love it. I bet it looks good on you.
I got a hot pink crew cut during the height of the pandemic. Then used XMondo colors to change the color every few months for nearly a year. It has since all grown out and now I have an appointment on the 27th to go blonde! And no, I’m not going to try to do it myself. I’ve watched too many of these videos to try that again!
I actually love how the short hair looks on the first girl!!
Honestly I love them all. Such a vibe. I remember getting my long hair cut back in the day, from the ribs to the chin, and it was so scary but so freeing. And now I'm growing a mullet, lol. At the end of the day, hair is just hair. It'll grow back. So fuck it, right?
I have watched sooo many of these DIY hair cuts and I will say I have learned so much from them. My hair is very thick and goes way beyond past my shoulders. However I have a very small framed face. Though thnx to Brad’s advice on how to do the Butterfly cut; my hair looks sooo much better, it’s healthier, it’s layered and I’m glad I didn’t have it be a disaster. Definitely wet your hair everyone before you cut it, big game changer for when I did mine.
😂😂😂 "i know eight inches when i see it!" IM DYING BRAD
"I know some of y'all STINK" 🤣💀
I L❤VE L❤VE Brad's personality so funny&entertaining!! 💈✂️🪞
Brad: cut the hair wet.
Brad in his own DIY hair cutting tutorial: cut it dry so you can see what it looks like immediately.
brad: cut the hair above the elastic
bran in his own DIY hair cutting tutorial: cut below the elastic
@@radicallyreese7372this! Thank you! 😂
YES. Please clarify Brad!!!
My stylist ALWAYS trims my hair dry. BUT I have type 1a. I know she’d spritz 1st if I had any waves, so I think it has to do with hair type.
I have curly hair, and for me, a hair dresser getting it wet before cutting is a BIG no-no. I need to be cut curl by curl and so, cutting it dry is the best way.
Brad you made me laugh sooo much that I had tears rolling down my cheeks . I love , love watching your videos . Much love from across the pond . England 🏴
My impulse control needs some work fs. Hope someone learned something from my mistake! Thank you for watching 🩷🩷
I really think all these people are going through a bad breakup
😂😂😂😂
I cut my own hair all the time. I'm single. I don't do it because I am having a mental health crisis. I just don't like going to the hairdresser's.
I want to cut it because I’ve been having an identity crisis for about a year now 😭
One of my life-long fantasies has been to chop my own hair off. I've never done it and have always had long hair, but I'd love to chop it off one day. On a side note, Brad you look particularly good in this video! 😍
You should definitely cut it at least once. I cut my very long hair into a VERY short cut and I loved it. It was such a confidence boost. Now I’m back to my long hair again but I’m so glad I chopped it all off
I did that once, buzzed it all off. It was so liberating and I went to Costa Rica the next day. Manic episode? Maybe. Fun? Yes.
"That was like a good eight inches. And I know eight inches when I see it." Same, Brad, same. What? I used to work in a print shop, and used a commercial paper cutter. 😜
Brad I need more curly content please. Cuts, colors, and styles!! My 3c curls have lived 33 years almost always in a bun because I was never taught how to care for it. I've done my research, but I want your advice and tutorials. I've already seen all of your videos over the years, and I've learned so much. Thank you for existing ❤❤❤
There's so many hair care tutorials from people with 3c curls on TH-cam
I love doing my makeup watching these videos!! 😅
Now Brad...bobs are in. Especially the wig girles...please do a Bob episode!!😂
Brad Brad Brad. Your reactions never disappoints. 😂. Thank goodness we have brave souls out there cutting their own hair. I have really long hair. These videos keep inspiring me to get my hair cut. Not by me by a professional. I am just not there yet. One day just not today. Love your videos keep them coming. Be safe ❤😊❤
When the second girl cut her hair with it still tucked behind her ear, then couldn't understand why there was a weird little point in the front when she untucked it 🤣
I know 8 inches when I see it. 😂😂😂😂 me to Brad me to. ❤❤❤❤
I just did the big chop last weekend. I was going to do it myself but my lovely husband offered to do it and it turned out SO CUTE. So much lighter and healthier feeling
I bought 4 bottles of your hair dye absolutely in love with it ❤ when I can afford to get your products for healthy hair I definitely will totally love you and your channel 💗 ❤️
“That’s what it’s like living in this head, it’s just constantly switching shit up. All the time” I felt that in my soul, because same 🥲
lol the kitchen scissors always crack me up bc I got my pretty decent hair cutting scissors set on amazon for like $12.. been cutting my own wavy/curly hair with no issues for a few years now! 🤦♀️
😂 I had cut nearly 14” off my head 2 years ago. Had about 1” left…felt weird at first but I was able to grow it back quickly. It’s much healthier. Love these videos btw ❤
Love your videos, Brad. Merry Early Christmas to you and your outfit is cute.
This is perfect. I went from longer curls to a bob. I love it!
Idk, I feel like I've seen enough of your videos to qualify as an honorary hairstylist AT LEAST ❤😂
I love you, Brad! You really don't need to affect that extra deep voice for your videos!
I’ve worn my hair long with no bangs for about 30 years. I thought for some reason that I wouldn’t be beautiful any other way. Well, about 3 months ago I got my hair cut to above shoulder bob with bangs/fringe. I have never felt cuter and wonder why it took me so long. I also stopped dying my hair about 5 years ago, and I did that since I was 16. It’s a great change for me. Something very empowering to cut off most of your hair, as a woman. Just, don’t do it yourself 😂
I'm actually wondering about doing that too! I've had the same hairstyle for about 20 years now and I'm really starting to think about how I would look like with short hair >\\< I couldn't muster the courage yet~ though it will grow back eventually
okay but like dramatically just chopping it off is very therapeutic
Me who likes a-line bobs feeling virtually attacked by Brad.
Saaame!!
Same. But seeing multiple comments like this has made me feel better lol. We're talking about the same guy who loves mullets though, so... I'll take hairstyling and maintenance advice from him, but he can keep his style opinions to himself.
Same! A-line bobs make you look chic and so well put together. 😎
"She did the ponytails, she did the ponytails🎉" he's so satisfied😂
My niece is two and scared of getting her hair cut but has a ridiculous amount of hair for a 2-yesr-old. So my sister and I tricked her and told her I was braiding her hair. Since she was so squirmy I used the pony tail method to get it done quick and man did it work well. I sectioned but only put an elastic in one part at a time. That way, for each new section, I was able to add a small bit of adjacent hair that was already cut as my guide. This was a game-changing way for cutting a toddlers hair. She now has a bob just above her shoulders, and it's the cutest.
You beast! She didn’t want short hair and you tricked her and gave it to her anyway? My mom did this to me once and I was sooo sad! I hated my hair until it grew back.
@loveshell6945 no, she's scared of haircuts. Like many toddlers, she thinks it will hurt. It had nothing to do with wanting short hair or not. She didn't even notice a change.
The trumpet with the jaws😂😂😂 minor 2nd interval sound effect 😂😂😂is crack up to me every time 😂😂😂
@bradmondo idk if you’ll ever see this but I recently followed your butterfly cut tutorial and it was so cute but then I caught the hair cutting bug and I wanted to go shorter. So I followed your “cut your own hair at home” tutorial and took my hair to shoulder length. Let me tell you, I felt so free and so light, I’m living my best extra life right now! And today at work, I have never received so many compliments for an at home hair cut before! Thank you so much!!
My goal next year is to get a pixie cut *by a professional* and color it dark blue and green. But for now I’m love my hair!
I blame the dramatic effect that we see in movies where the woman cuts her hair dramatically different and does so in heavy chunks to show the “RIP to the old me” effect. It’s a canon event we cannot interfere.
My daughter thought she wanted to go real short. Her hair was down to the middle of her back. I talked her into only cutting about 3” inches between cuts/trims. She made it up to just below her shoulders and wanted to stop. She was glad I told her that. Our hair grows slow.
I still love the a-line bob.
I did a pixie cut with micro bangs, and I just figured out how to style it like a scenemo queen, and I didn't record it, but the hair gods (and the incredibly dull kitchen scissors) f***Ed me over
I had an a-line bob in middle school and now I'm imagining Brad roasting me as a 10 year old.
I have locs, tailbone length and I am so ready to cut them off!! But I would never EVER do it myself 😂😂
watching brad getting progressively mad is insanely entertaining
Brad Mondo: "hi beautiful"
Me, laying in the dark with a cat sitting on my face and half a twizzler sticking out of my mouth: 🥹
the third one might have dried her hair before cutting because she might keep the braids in case she still finds a place she can donate them to :) before i cut mine to donate it, i was also told to cut it dry to make sure the hair is completely dry when it's sent
does anyone else think brads voice is deeper than usual in the last few vids lol 👀
I impulsively cut off 12" of my hair the other day. I did the method of parting it down the middle in 2 sections and pulling them forward. I know you said that creates a "v" in the back but it actually turned out perfectly for me. Idk if it's because my hair is straight on top and super curly underneath but something made it work. I should've filmed it so you could explain how I avoided that. Anyways, you can carry on with the video now lol
“And I know eight inches when I see it”. Same Brad, Same 😂😂😂😂😂
As someone who had my hair cut from waist length to a bob by my grandma when I was 7 (she told me and my mom she was going to give me long layers, I ended in a mullet type thing) I have severe anxiety from watching long hair be cut because I’ve been struggling to grow out my hair ever since (won’t grow past my shoulders now :( )
I'm sorry that your hair won't grow now. My mom cut mine to my shoulders and gave me bangs when I was 6. I HATED it! After that, I fought tooth and nail to keep it long, including my bangs. It's been down to my knees once, is past my butt now, and I typically keep it to my waist. (These videos give me anxiety, too, but also valuable information). My mom talked me into cutting my hair again when I was 18 because of my headaches, but it didn't help, and I've kept it super long ever since. I have long curtain bangs now, but they'll probably never be short. If you haven't tried them, there are drinks and supplements you can take to strengthen your hair (and nails) to help get strength and growth. You can also try horse shampoo and conditioner. You can get it at the store now, but for years it was a "secret weapon" amongst horse people. Show horses do better in many competitions with long, lustrous manes and tails. Maybe it could help you, too.
Not I know 8 inches when I see it🤣😩 LMAOOOO
I feel the 2nd girl. I got the long hair I wanted (longer than 3rd girl), but it's just so... damaged. It feels like straw, matts ups, and doesn't shine. It only looks nice the first day after a shower. Natural hair, never been dyed, always air dried. It happens every time my hair gets to a certain length. My hair gets so fried during sleep. I'll go to bed with healthy feeling hair and wake up with crunchy tangled, straw hair. I only recently started wearing bonnets (can't get them to stay on yet) and using leave in conditioners, but I feel like it's too late. Might be one of these girls soon lmao.
Not sure if you want tips, I had the same problem. I'd suggest towel drying you hair until its damp and using low heat to dry, air drying can weigh the hair down for a long time and can cause breakage. Another thing I did was invest in a satin pillowcase and a few satin scrunchies. Put your hair up before you go to bed, all the tossing and turning can cause hair to get tangled and caught and pulled which can cause breakage. cotton pillow cases are really rough so its like rubbing sandpaper against your hair, even if you tie it up, satin offers little resistance and the hair slides along the pillow instead of getting rubbed but rough fibers. Just a few things I've picked up. My hair is short right now because I hate how long it takes to dry, but my hair before cutting was shiny and healthy.
Tips are always welcome, thank you for taking the time to share! I will give these tips a try
If you want to keep your hair, invest in a silk pillowcase - As someone with long curly hair, sleeping with your hair unwrapped and unprotected will completely destroy it, fast. Learned this the hard way and to chop everything off back in college
Aw man, I didn't know it was THAT bad. People just look at me like I'm crazy when I say my sleep fries my hair xD
Much appreciated! I'll be cutting it and starting over soon, taking these tips with me.@@CrystalRose1111
Not me thinking A line bobs are super cute and thinking about doing it. Not anymore 🥴 thanks Brad 😅
Lololol @ “and I know right inches!” Brad! We can’t be talking like this on the internets ahahahha😂
