Hi Jane, if your hair is shoulder length or longer I recommend using blow dry spin brushes for the back. I'm a professional hairstylist and a hair appliances junkie, every professional and non-professional hair appliance that comes out, no matter how bizarre or cheesy looking I have to try it. Most of the time it's a waste of my money, as the box in my basement can attest to, but I love my blow dry spin brush. However, I'll give you a couple of tips to use it successfully since I read complaints on Amazon that are because women are not using them properly. First off this is a STYLING appliance NOT A BLOW DRYER so you have to rough dry like Brad suggests in video. You want it 90-95% dry, especially at the root because unlike when your drying with a blow-dryer and a brush this appliance does not dry the root at all and for your hair to look great and last THE ROOT AREA MUST BE DRY! The brushes are large mine is 2" but they have 1.5" now as well and the bristles are very soft, which is to lessen the possibility of tangling. It can still tangle though so it is really important to section your hair. I do three sections the crown are, the occipital area and right below the occipital bone, which is were I start styling. My hair is medium texture with a lose curl pattern fairly thick and using sections this large I'm able to finish about 20 minutes. I break both bottom sections into four sections each clipping them the way Brad does in the video when I'm done. In the crown area (top of my head) I take smaller sections to get more volume. If I want a curly look I use a curling wand after, but this gives me nice volume and waves. It takes a little practice to master but once you do I think you'll like it. Again your hair has be be past your shoulders or it will probably be too short, although the 1.5' may work for at shoulder length. Good luck! FYI take small sections to begin while you master using the tool with to avoid tangles and if it does tangle don't PANIC... this is why the bristles are so soft just calmly work your fingers through the bristles and your hair and it will release. I've been using mine for a decade now and I've only had it tangle a few times, usually because I was rushing and my sections were too big!
Screw makeup guru channels.. We need some more hair styling gurus like you!!! Ive always told myself.. If my hair looks perfect then i dont need makeup! My hair is the main attraction!!
Too rough for me: I'm 60 with thinning hair. I want to KEEP my hair -- not have 20% of it come out in my brush when I blow dry. I'm getting outta here now & not watching the rest of the video.
Watches through the video twice: I can totally handle this, I got this Goes into bathroom and tries to section hair: Let’s go for a natural, towel dry wave today
So I'm a super low income Mom of two kids so I don't have time or money to get to the salon. I have nice hair but don't know how to work with it and this video was super informative on how to get the perfect blown out look. Watched this video 2 hours ago and in-between taking care of a 1 year old and 4 year old I got my shower in and my blow out on! I'm very happy with the results and love watching all or your videos, you rock my world Brad! #loveathomesalonbkowout!
Oh honey. Sending you mad blessings. You have the most Important job of all time and I bet you're so beautiful regardless of $$$. Society is lame. Natural beauty is bomb.
Thank u sunshine. I actually had a really bad breakdown and went to the doctor yesterday! They put me on zoloft and sent a referral to a psychiatrist. Idk why im putting this out there for the world to see, but hopefully it helps, cuz im not doing well.... at all
Me: sits with incredibly frizzy hair watching this video Me: goes and does this Me ten hundred million hours later: still hair incredibly frizzy and my arms have literally collapsed and I’m thinking about what went so incredibly wrong
My 12 year old Daughter showed me your Channel and I am in Love with you! You are Amazing and just Passionate with everything you do! My daughter and I are learning so much! I am rocking purple to Represent Lupus! I love your Hair Style and Color! God Bless! Smooches!
I literally just did this with my hair and it looks great. I'm such a newbie in all these beauty things and just following these instructions one by one got me a very satisfying result - obviously not as great as him, but way better than the crap I was doing before :D So thanks
I know this is probably a weird request, but can you please do a video on how to style mens hair. Or how you style your hair, my son wants his hair similar to yours and i dont know what to do. or what products to use all i know is gel and a comb lol. Luv your videos by the way.
it's not weird at all! My boyfriend uses Suavecito pomade on his hair to get the volume and shape, and finishes with a light spray of my Aussie freezing hairspray. it's great and lasts a good long while.
Very stiff extra hold gel. Medium round brush for the front. Comb the back fwd while wet with gel in, then roll the front back with round brush. If he has curly or wavy hair, you made need to blow the front on low setting and with low heat to pull out the front and give it the height, finish with a cool air shot, and then gel again or firm hairspray after it's dry to hold in place.
One of my “lottery win” dreams is a professional wash and blowout 1-2 times a week. (Basically never wash and fix my own hair again!) I have crazy thick, coarse, frizzy, fluffy, wavy hair. It’s a drag, especially in Texas heat, but after a blowout, it’s gorgeous!
I have the same hair! Eight years ago, I decided no more! I've been paying someone to do my hair for me twice a week. It is wonderful not having to wash or dry or style my hair!
Why are you exactly my hair and also in Texas? I was so excited to find this video to try on my hair. Except I'm tired. So I just watch it with no bra after work laid back with my big ass hair every couple days after work. 😅
Why am I just now seeing this?? I just graduated from Cosmetology college and now I’m pumped to work at a Blowdry Bar. This video puts me at ease even though I already know how to do it. Thanks Brad 🥰
You said a lot that you thought this was boring. This is actually one of my favorites of your videos. Just like how people like to watch makeup tutorials it is nice to see a video that I can follow along with to attempt to do my hair. I would love to see more videos like this. I like any video you do really but maybe someday I'll actually try to do a blowout lol. My hair has a lot of volume and its naturally wavy to curly. I love my hair it is actually really easy to make do what I want.
I was today years old when I learned to properly blow dry my hair (not even blow out, just simple blow dry!) 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ Thank you, Brad, you're a life saver!
to be fair, the hair type in particular that was being styled was supposed to be thin and flat. kinky hair is gorgeous when it is healthy and naturally attained, but when it shows on thin hair it can be a sign of damage, so (even though he definitely could have put it in better way) he probably meant it in more of a "let's get this particular hair type back to a healthy and more manageable state" way, and didn't consider how poorly he worded it until it was too late.
I there. I recently am having hairloss from Lupus and i have been trying to figure out how to best style my hair to make the patches less obvious. Your video was not only helpful buy made me laugh, which is hard to do these days. So thank you. For the smile and for the easy to understand instructions. Im going to give this a try tomorrow. Much love.
Thank you for this video. I have very boring hair. It's longest I have had it in a long time, but I have living with it in a bun since middle school, because I just didn't know what to do with it. I haven't had a hair cut in about 2 years now, no color either, so I'm hoping if I learn to style it, I will feel better about. Thank you, Brad and team.
First off, just found this channel and it is very bingeable. Subscribed. Secondly, I have long, thick hair, that's wavy (2b??) and blow drying it has always been something I do about 3x/year because it's such a hassle and never, ever, EVER comes out looking good. I'm an air-dry kind of girl. Always have been (read: little hair styling experience). Had a grad school even coming up, wanted to look a little bit on point, and decided to try this. It. Worked. Honestly, please, PLEASE do a few more of these instructional type videos! It really helps those of us who are style challenged but still have to look good for events!
Can you make this a series?! Can you do this on perhaps a) Asian hair that is thick, course and resistant to heat, b) on African American/Mixed hair 3b or 3c curls, and c) on 4b or 4c curls ?! I can understand how to get from the point that you are able to work with the hair at the halo parting. I just don't understand how you expect 3b or higher curls, to be workable, and not a bird's nest of knots, after having been left in a towel for 20 minutes without any oils--let alone after having been blown dry without having been put into carefully conditioned and brushed sections first. I'm just confused. I must be doing something very wrong, but my head would be a rats nest, that would require scissors be taken to it, lol ;)
PLEASE! I have 3c curls and pros can make my hair silky with a blow out but i can never ever do it myself. Every tutorial takes models with already straightish hair. Please help us curly folk!
MissJessyeNorman there are tutorials that black women with that hair type is doing on here. He most likely only works with straight hair and wouldn't know
Thanks ladies, I will be watching the Cyn Doll video alexisreve1 =) And I do watch a large number of hair channels run by WOC. I just hadn't found a good blowout method. And as he offered, and said it was foolproof, I wanted to see. Plus, I suspect that a part of me hoped that in doing so, a larger, a both more diverse and more mainstream audience would see that our hair is not more tough, but actually requires more babying. Also, that a larger audience would see the huge amount of work that goes into producing the same styles. I thought it would be great if he did an Asian woman as well, because they don't often get access to a mainstream audience either--and I would like to know what issues they face, that my friends have not told me about.
I thought of this video while blowing out my hair tonight and omg this really helped!!! Some other things I noticed!!!!! -Make sure your hairbrush has no hair buildup on it!!! I had some when I tried last time and gave up 5 minutes in LOL; you want the hair to run all the way through the brush. -The halo sectioning really does work. I used a boar bristle brush and it gave me a ton of volume but I wanted some curl so I guess I need to invest in a ceramic brush.
Bangs are so easy tho. I always do my bangs other wise they look weird I came here for the rest of the hair idk what you do but I just put a brush under the bangs and then aim the bliedrier from the top
I live in southwest Florida. There's no reason to get a blow out here unless you want to cry the moment you leave the salon and your hair goes crazy. lol It's why we all wear our hair up in ponytails and braids. :)
same! I used to have hair down to my midback and the only thing that kept the frizz at bay was putting it into a ponytail. Once I'd spent two hours curling it only for it to fall flat within 10 minutes. I eventually had to cut it short so I could get *some* kind of non-frizzy volume.
Thanks. I tried this with the concentrator attachment and my boar bristle roundbrush. I also used rose water instead of regular water to wet my hair. It turned out perfect without any frizz. Love your work, Brad.
Thanks Brad for an interesting and well presented video. These are professional blow-dry techniques but they are also adaptable for home use. It is difficult to achieve the same result at home as a professional stylists in a salon which is why you pay us to do your hair! However, the information Brad shares regarding the brushes, the products he uses, his sectioning techniques, clipping sections to cool, and MOST IMPORTANTLY rough drying, will help you achieve better results at home. The biggest mistake most women make is starting to style while the hair is soaking wet which is just an exercise in futility. Even if you do get it to look good eventually, if the slightest bit of dampness remains your hairstyle will fall apart within an hour. Fine hair will go flat and curly hair will frizz. Rough drying will also save you SO much time on your finish, especially if you have medium to thick and/or curly hair. Clipping the hair and allowing the hair to cool down adequately is also very important for keeping body, volume and/or curl. These two tips alone will improve your results a thousand fold! I like the tip about the dry shampoo at the roots for volume, although heed his warning about less is more, and the KÉRASTASE DISCIPLINE is the crème de la crème of blow-dry sprays... expensive but worth every penny! As for your boo-hooers on the comment page... no RUclips video will give you the skills of a professional hairstylist, but Brad clearly shares some excellent tools and techniques that will help you achieve more professional results at home. Thanks again Brad... I look forward to seeing more of your videos!
I think you should do more cosmetology based tutorials, I really like these videos. I think that they would really bring up views too. I love you and your videos, but I do think that some of the titles and thumbnails are kind of made to be click bait( not saying your the only one doing that on RUclips). But I feel like you should also open up to ur audience. We only know you as the male hairstylist who revamps wigs,reacts to viral hair flops, antm, or whatever. I really want to know WHO Brad Mondo is, what's the back story of why you choose this career, was it always easy, what were the struggles you had as a kid, worst and best salon experiences,a Q&A video, where do you want to go from here,etc. I feel like I'd really like to feel more connected to you and your videos. Again this is not hate but just my perspective as a viewer who's been subscribed for almost 2yrs now💕love you
HOLY CRAP! I never knew how many things I was doing CORRECT! I was honestly winging it the entire time!! LOL The dry shampoo, the pulling the hair forward thing, the moisturizer at the tips, the 90% dry rule... I never knew that was ACTUALLY the technique! I guess that's why I'm never satisfied if my hair stylist doesn't do all of those steps in the blowout.
Your small teaching moments throughout help so much! “Don’t hold it this way” or an adequate description of how much product to actually use & where. So sweet! Love your vids ❤️
I literally have two blowdryers and everything I need to blow out my hair but just the thought of me having to do it makes my arms fall asleep my back hurt & me cry.. my hair is wavy to curly and long af with an annoying natural part that would not let me or annyome else lart my part any other way many have tried .. I commend those who have successfully blown it for me 😂
Try normally blowing it/air drying it until it's halfway/almost dry and then use the techniques. We do that in school when a client comes in with long/thick hair because it definitely works our arms out too!😂😂
Hi Brad! I love your channel! I was wondering if you could maybe do a video on styling men's hair? I've been practicing men's cuts a lot and I find the cut itself to be easy, but styling afterwards is SO HARD for me. Thanks, and again, LOVE your videos. :)
Amazing video. Thank you. Just to point out if you’re going to towel dry your hair and keep your hair wrapped in it, it’s best not to turban twist as it can over time pull on hairs and they may stop growing near the front of your scalp. I pat my hair dry with a towel and leave it sparkles out on my shoulders with a towel laid out on my shoulders for 15 mins prior to blow drying.
Ive never be able to have my hair professionally done like that. I would feel like a princess for sure. Thank you for the tips ans tricks. I will have to try this at home
I know you will not see this but watching u pushed me to bleach to platinum and did that so well I enrolled in school thank you so much I never watch the school videos I always find u doing the client and I have so far aced everything
oh my gosh. this is amazing. thank you for actually showing how long/how many times you actually run the dryer thru the hair, most youtubers are like 1 run down the hair, and you're done! lol thank you for sharing!
Back in the day, women went to the hairdresser about once a week, often just to get a good blow out. But it wasn't just for regular hair maintenance. The hairdresser was where you went to for counseling, for the cleansing ritual of gossip, to catch up on what was happening in your community. The hairdresser's was the social center! Yes, it's convenient to do your own hair care at home, bustling about getting it done before work. But wasn't it nice to go into the salon, sit and visit with a friend, chat with the hairdresser about what was happening, complain about your husband/kids/work/needed house or appliance repairs...I think we have lost a necessary social network.
Totally watched this video before but it popped up on my feed your smile made me happy. Keep being you cuz that's what we all need. No drama, just fun.
lucksy bb I have a babyliss electric brush as well and it’s pretty good if you know how to do it. I don’t let it rotate by itself over and over because it makes your hair frizzy af... I let it rotate to the scalp and drag it down manually 10 times. And it doesn’t tangle either! It’s a good choice if you don’t have time or you’re not that good handling the classic brushes.
Axy Pater I tried it out today and it made such a difference! I didn't always like the bend I'd get in my hair from the big brush with your technique kept it straighter. I took my time bringing the brush down the hair too and it smoothed it nicely. Thank you. 😄
Thank you for this! Lovely. I use this sectioning technique for curling my hair. I’ll first blow dry it the best I can and then instead of round brushing it, I’ll use the curling iron. Much much easier if blow drying isn’t your expertise.
“You are looking so beautiful today!” As I sit on my bed with a four year old T-shirt on, hair sticking straight up, breathing with my mouth wide open 😂😂😂
OMG I can't believe it, I used to do nearly all of this and my hair still sucked, turns out the only thing I was missing was the proper direction technique for the blow dryer and it made an EXTREME difference!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
OH MY GOD! Tried following the video and GUUURLL I LIIIIVEEEE! 90% mastered the salon style blow out, I mean I did get confused with the back, but my hair is so SOFFFTTTT and looks so CHICcc
Love this tutorial! I am looking to change the way to round brush for more volume and this is helpful. Just have to say, wow, those eyes! It was difficult to focus on your tutorial at times. I was mesmerized.
So helpful! So glad I found your channel, I work at Sally Beauty so I will use all your awesome tips and knowledge to help customers! You are so fabulous BTW!
Are you good at blowing out your own hair?
Brad Mondo the attempt is there.. does that count? 😂
Brad Mondo kinda
Brad Mondo nope but I can do a amazing blow out on clients!
kinda
Brad Mondo I try but not, but I try at least!!
Okay but how do I detach my head so I can do the back
Get the queen of hearts
Wear a wig

I totally agree with you!
I want to be a makeup artist but I totally agree with you. If my hair doesn't look good then my makeup doesn't look good too.
Clare Vela amen
SAME!
She was speechless throughout her blowout, she was shook 😂
"if you have longer hair you ends are probably crusty"
...
Okay first of all I feel personally attacked
🤣🤣
😂😂😂
😂 that was true for me unfortunately
No, he's right.. my ends are crusty.
My ends are fine and my hair is down to my butt😂 I've never died it though so that might be why
I'm having flashbacks to when I was 12 and had to cut a barrel brush out of my hair with scissors
StrawbunnyMilk SAME SAME SAME AND I DID IT WITHOUT TELLING MY MOM AND TRIED TO HIDE IT AND SHE SAW
We've all been there
how the fuck did you get a barrel brush in ur hair
Same but I was like 6 and never touched one again
StrawbunnyMilk How does one not tangle the hair with a barrel brush?? 😀
My hair would look bomb if i could detatch my head
Exactly lol especially for blowdrying the back hairs.
😂😂😂
If that was a thing humans could do I'd just steal idk Charlize Therons head, put it on my body and just not worry anymore lol
It's so hard! Especially getting straight at the root. Arms kill me too as I have long coarse curly hair. Any tips anyone?
Brad: “you look so gorgeous today”
Me: *sat in bed eating a whole dominos pizza to myself and bed hair*
“oh brad stawp”
Soph Xx that’s a whole mood!

Brad: if you’re wondering if I’m this rough with actual people the answer is yes
Lmaoooooo
angelica shoults that's why he only do hair on dolls
angelica shoults I don’t know he is rough on it
Yessss came here for this 😂

Am I the only one afraid of round brushes because I had them stuck in my head as a kid, more than once😅
Noemi Mühlhaus your not alone
LOL same!
same! 😭 its a nightmare!
For me once was enough coz i had to cut my hair, which i did on my own coz i was too afraid to tell my mom
Same! Had a stylist get one stuck in my hair, had to cut it out. No more round brushes for me, ever!
I could probably do this if my head was also removable and able to be attached to a table with a vice. Otherwise, probably not.
😂😂😂
hahhahha I love this comment !

Nothing went wrong. It's near impossible to do, even for a hairstylist. Have tried it, and, personally, don't do it on a daily basis.
My issue is, I need a third hand.
I'm watching this but I know deep down inside I'll be too lazy to do this 😫

"If your hair is long at all, your ends are probably crusty.." Guurl.. You right 😂😂
Morgan Berry when he said that I checked my ends. Yep, crusty lol
I didn't even have check my ends, my ends have been crusty for as long as i van remember 🙈
Mine too
My ends used to be crusty but now they never because I moisturize my hair every day
My ends feel violated....

And, of course, he'd need this haircut and color first.
My hair always gets tangled in the ceramic brush
margarita c same and my hair gets stuck in it
I find the brush with the ball things on the tip always tangles hair more.
that’s why drying it 90% first is so important. it will be less likely to tangle and also making sure you blow with the cuticle:)
ceramic brush also causes u to have split ends because its breaking the hair so bad
margarita c its cause you are bad at it
One of my “lottery win” dreams is a professional wash and blowout 1-2 times a week. (Basically never wash and fix my own hair again!) I have crazy thick, coarse, frizzy, fluffy, wavy hair. It’s a drag, especially in Texas heat, but after a blowout, it’s gorgeous!
Omg SAME! I have thick wavy/curly very fluffy hair and I live in Houston 😭
girl i FEEL YOU. My hair is so curly, and southern heat and humidity rly does a number on me.
I have the same hair! Eight years ago, I decided no more! I've been paying someone to do my hair for me twice a week. It is wonderful not having to wash or dry or style my hair!
Why are you exactly my hair and also in Texas? I was so excited to find this video to try on my hair. Except I'm tired. So I just watch it with no bra after work laid back with my big ass hair every couple days after work. 😅
Brad for the new Ken doll 🌸
WE STAN!!! ❤️
I just love him so much I could be his Grace ;)
I love it but ain’t nobody got time for that in the morning lol.
what about doing it at night before going to bed?
Yes just sleep in the pinned curls and cover your hair with a silk scarf, then do the oil in the morning
Why am I just now seeing this?? I just graduated from Cosmetology college and now I’m pumped to work at a Blowdry Bar. This video puts me at ease even though I already know how to do it. Thanks Brad 🥰
You said a lot that you thought this was boring. This is actually one of my favorites of your videos. Just like how people like to watch makeup tutorials it is nice to see a video that I can follow along with to attempt to do my hair. I would love to see more videos like this. I like any video you do really but maybe someday I'll actually try to do a blowout lol. My hair has a lot of volume and its naturally wavy to curly. I love my hair it is actually really easy to make do what I want.
I was today years old when I learned to properly blow dry my hair (not even blow out, just simple blow dry!) 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ Thank you, Brad, you're a life saver!
I actually put on makeup and did my hair this morning so when he said “you are looking gorgeous today” I actually believed he was talking to me. Lol
Natural, curly, kinky hair is beautiful too. Love the hair you have!
Gardenia Blossom I agree! Appreciate all hair.
Absolutely! But when straight/wavy hair develops kinks/snarls it’s not so beautiful.
Judging by the model, that’s what he was talking about.
I was a bit offended by that too smh.
to be fair, the hair type in particular that was being styled was supposed to be thin and flat. kinky hair is gorgeous when it is healthy and naturally attained, but when it shows on thin hair it can be a sign of damage, so (even though he definitely could have put it in better way) he probably meant it in more of a "let's get this particular hair type back to a healthy and more manageable state" way, and didn't consider how poorly he worded it until it was too late.
I there. I recently am having hairloss from Lupus and i have been trying to figure out how to best style my hair to make the patches less obvious. Your video was not only helpful buy made me laugh, which is hard to do these days. So thank you. For the smile and for the easy to understand instructions. Im going to give this a try tomorrow. Much love.
Khat Alexis me too
Same here Khat! x
Me too!! Girl the hair never stops falling out 😭 I had such beautiful hair before my first flair and then lost even more during my chemo treatments
Out of all the videos I have watched, this is the only person, to ever mention to alternate curls.... bless you!🕊👑🔥
Rough drying causes a lot of frizz which makes blow drying smooth and straight almost impossible. Are some dryers better at reducing frizz? Thanks
she went from a crackhead to a model really quick!!!
Lmaooo story of my life jk lol
Wish it was that easy for me 💁🏻♀️
Yo Brad, why you keep slappin my girl Viola all up in the face like that? Mannequin heads have feels to, BRAD.
Great video 😂
ARMY LOVE LOVE LOVE))))))))
I'm so sorry but I have to point this out. Its Too not to
Sorry I had to
Hannah Whitt Ok but it is "It's" not "Its" lol
Cup of Tae, w/Suga Kookies & no jams 😂🤣
Those mannequins are a pain to work with
Thank you for this video. I have very boring hair. It's longest I have had it in a long time, but I have living with it in a bun since middle school, because I just didn't know what to do with it. I haven't had a hair cut in about 2 years now, no color either, so I'm hoping if I learn to style it, I will feel better about. Thank you, Brad and team.
You've grown your channel so much and so fast im so proud😄
Omg yesss I literally cannot find any other videos on how to do a blowout like this that actually goes into DETAILS!!!😘
This is a phenomenal demonstration! I have watched my stylist for years, but never really understood until today! Thank you!
can you tell me if I cut my cat's hair right
Kevin and Lill hey, my boi!
Kevin and Lill 0
Kevin and Lill who cares it grows back really fast
😂
I LOVE YOU TWO!! And this comment killed me!
GIRL I’m living for ur shirt ❤️
First off, just found this channel and it is very bingeable. Subscribed. Secondly, I have long, thick hair, that's wavy (2b??) and blow drying it has always been something I do about 3x/year because it's such a hassle and never, ever, EVER comes out looking good. I'm an air-dry kind of girl. Always have been (read: little hair styling experience). Had a grad school even coming up, wanted to look a little bit on point, and decided to try this. It. Worked. Honestly, please, PLEASE do a few more of these instructional type videos! It really helps those of us who are style challenged but still have to look good for events!
Can you make this a series?! Can you do this on perhaps a) Asian hair that is thick, course and resistant to heat, b) on African American/Mixed hair 3b or 3c curls, and c) on 4b or 4c curls ?! I can understand how to get from the point that you are able to work with the hair at the halo parting. I just don't understand how you expect 3b or higher curls, to be workable, and not a bird's nest of knots, after having been left in a towel for 20 minutes without any oils--let alone after having been blown dry without having been put into carefully conditioned and brushed sections first. I'm just confused. I must be doing something very wrong, but my head would be a rats nest, that would require scissors be taken to it, lol ;)
Agreed
PLEASE! I have 3c curls and pros can make my hair silky with a blow out but i can never ever do it myself. Every tutorial takes models with already straightish hair. Please help us curly folk!
Search for "blowouts with natural hair." Cyn Doll has a lot of videos with 3c - 4c hair. ruclips.net/channel/UCU3METt99s5eWmknG8T6dMg
MissJessyeNorman there are tutorials that black women with that hair type is doing on here. He most likely only works with straight hair and wouldn't know
Thanks ladies, I will be watching the Cyn Doll video alexisreve1 =) And I do watch a large number of hair channels run by WOC. I just hadn't found a good blowout method. And as he offered, and said it was foolproof, I wanted to see. Plus, I suspect that a part of me hoped that in doing so, a larger, a both more diverse and more mainstream audience would see that our hair is not more tough, but actually requires more babying. Also, that a larger audience would see the huge amount of work that goes into producing the same styles. I thought it would be great if he did an Asian woman as well, because they don't often get access to a mainstream audience either--and I would like to know what issues they face, that my friends have not told me about.
So that's why last time I got a blowout that lady almost burnt my scalp with the blower 😂
I thought of this video while blowing out my hair tonight and omg this really helped!!!
Some other things I noticed!!!!!
-Make sure your hairbrush has no hair buildup on it!!! I had some when I tried last time and gave up 5 minutes in LOL; you want the hair to run all the way through the brush.
-The halo sectioning really does work.
I used a boar bristle brush and it gave me a ton of volume but I wanted some curl so I guess I need to invest in a ceramic brush.
Omg it would make my life if you made a tutorial on blowing out bangs!!! I feel like mine always come out so jacked up when I do it myself 😭
Bangs are so easy tho. I always do my bangs other wise they look weird I came here for the rest of the hair idk what you do but I just put a brush under the bangs and then aim the bliedrier from the top
I live in southwest Florida. There's no reason to get a blow out here unless you want to cry the moment you leave the salon and your hair goes crazy. lol
It's why we all wear our hair up in ponytails and braids. :)
Yaaasss. I also live in SW Florida and there is no point.. 😂😂😩
SWFL here too and so much truth to your comment
I live in southern Louisiana where the humidity is regularly 80% or higher. I feel your pain 😩
same! I used to have hair down to my midback and the only thing that kept the frizz at bay was putting it into a ponytail. Once I'd spent two hours curling it only for it to fall flat within 10 minutes. I eventually had to cut it short so I could get *some* kind of non-frizzy volume.
I live in Boca Raton. Same way here. During the summer, I don’t even bother.
Thanks. I tried this with the concentrator attachment and my boar bristle roundbrush. I also used rose water instead of regular water to wet my hair. It turned out perfect without any frizz. Love your work, Brad.
He literally did one curl and I was like "No. Too much work"
“Use dry shampoo if your hair is very flat and you need volume”
Staring at my hair looking like a wild lion in rehab:
I think I’m all set.
same lmao
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Brad for an interesting and well presented video. These are professional blow-dry techniques but they are also adaptable for home use. It is difficult to achieve the same result at home as a professional stylists in a salon which is why you pay us to do your hair! However, the information Brad shares regarding the brushes, the products he uses, his sectioning techniques, clipping sections to cool, and MOST IMPORTANTLY rough drying, will help you achieve better results at home. The biggest mistake most women make is starting to style while the hair is soaking wet which is just an exercise in futility. Even if you do get it to look good eventually, if the slightest bit of dampness remains your hairstyle will fall apart within an hour. Fine hair will go flat and curly hair will frizz. Rough drying will also save you SO much time on your finish, especially if you have medium to thick and/or curly hair. Clipping the hair and allowing the hair to cool down adequately is also very important for keeping body, volume and/or curl. These two tips alone will improve your results a thousand fold! I like the tip about the dry shampoo at the roots for volume, although heed his warning about less is more, and the KÉRASTASE DISCIPLINE is the crème de la crème of blow-dry sprays... expensive but worth every penny! As for your boo-hooers on the comment page... no RUclips video will give you the skills of a professional hairstylist, but Brad clearly shares some excellent tools and techniques that will help you achieve more professional results at home. Thanks again Brad... I look forward to seeing more of your videos!
I think you should do more cosmetology based tutorials, I really like these videos. I think that they would really bring up views too. I love you and your videos, but I do think that some of the titles and thumbnails are kind of made to be click bait( not saying your the only one doing that on RUclips). But I feel like you should also open up to ur audience. We only know you as the male hairstylist who revamps wigs,reacts to viral hair flops, antm, or whatever. I really want to know WHO Brad Mondo is, what's the back story of why you choose this career, was it always easy, what were the struggles you had as a kid, worst and best salon experiences,a Q&A video, where do you want to go from here,etc. I feel like I'd really like to feel more connected to you and your videos. Again this is not hate but just my perspective as a viewer who's been subscribed for almost 2yrs now💕love you
you'll never get to know!
It's just a Shopping Channel
HOLY CRAP! I never knew how many things I was doing CORRECT! I was honestly winging it the entire time!! LOL The dry shampoo, the pulling the hair forward thing, the moisturizer at the tips, the 90% dry rule... I never knew that was ACTUALLY the technique! I guess that's why I'm never satisfied if my hair stylist doesn't do all of those steps in the blowout.
Her hair was better than mine before you even started! You’re a really talented stylist, thank you for sharing some tips, love your channel!
Nope. I start drinking before I start blow drying then it all goes wrong but I don’t care anymore because I’m smashed! Yay!
That mannequin has better hair than me...
I can't get enough of Brad... he has a fantastic personality.
"If your hair is long....your ends are probably crusty"
*I immediately chop all of my hair off*
Your small teaching moments throughout help so much! “Don’t hold it this way” or an adequate description of how much product to actually use & where. So sweet! Love your vids ❤️
Brad is one of a kind, no beauty guru or any other hair dresser guru that will try to come out can compare to brad 🥰😱 brad is life ❤️
I literally have two blowdryers and everything I need to blow out my hair but just the thought of me having to do it makes my arms fall asleep my back hurt & me cry.. my hair is wavy to curly and long af with an annoying natural part that would not let me or annyome else lart my part any other way many have tried .. I commend those who have successfully blown it for me 😂
The more you do it the stronger your muscles get 💪😋
I always get tired to so I alternate between my hair and makeup.
That's so smart!!
Wow! Extremely relatable 😂
Try normally blowing it/air drying it until it's halfway/almost dry and then use the techniques. We do that in school when a client comes in with long/thick hair because it definitely works our arms out too!😂😂
Hi Brad! I love your channel! I was wondering if you could maybe do a video on styling men's hair? I've been practicing men's cuts a lot and I find the cut itself to be easy, but styling afterwards is SO HARD for me. Thanks, and again, LOVE your videos. :)
Amazing video. Thank you. Just to point out if you’re going to towel dry your hair and keep your hair wrapped in it, it’s best not to turban twist as it can over time pull on hairs and they may stop growing near the front of your scalp. I pat my hair dry with a towel and leave it sparkles out on my shoulders with a towel laid out on my shoulders for 15 mins prior to blow drying.
Omg releasing the hair at the end is as satisfying as taking out foils if you did a full head of highlights 😍
Ive never be able to have my hair professionally done like that. I would feel like a princess for sure. Thank you for the tips ans tricks. I will have to try this at home
I know you will not see this but watching u pushed me to bleach to platinum and did that so well I enrolled in school thank you so much I never watch the school videos I always find u doing the client and I have so far aced everything
“we can flip her” 😂 i just thought about him doing that to an actual client
Sameeee
You should get an afro textured mannequin head and try to do one of those styles on there hair
nini love their
or not
nini love that’s a really good idea 💡 lol
oh my gosh. this is amazing. thank you for actually showing how long/how many times you actually run the dryer thru the hair, most youtubers are like 1 run down the hair, and you're done! lol thank you for sharing!
Literally went to amazon and bought the two products he used because my crusty long hair needs his help
I can only imagine how amzing he is with his actual clients 💯
THANKFUL!!! A hair school student here and our teacher told us to do this and you helped immensely!!
He said “you’re looking so gorgeous today” while my hair is screaming for medical attention.
Back in the day, women went to the hairdresser about once a week, often just to get a good blow out. But it wasn't just for regular hair maintenance. The hairdresser was where you went to for counseling, for the cleansing ritual of gossip, to catch up on what was happening in your community. The hairdresser's was the social center!
Yes, it's convenient to do your own hair care at home, bustling about getting it done before work. But wasn't it nice to go into the salon, sit and visit with a friend, chat with the hairdresser about what was happening, complain about your husband/kids/work/needed house or appliance repairs...I think we have lost a necessary social network.
Totally watched this video before but it popped up on my feed your smile made me happy. Keep being you cuz that's what we all need. No drama, just fun.
18 minutes of Brad saying “...but you can do whatever you want” 🤣🤣
I can never get the brush/hairdryer coordination right so I just use my babyliss big brush that rotates and dries the hair lol.
IrishRose. Omg does that work? I've been thinking of getting that
lucksy bb I have a babyliss electric brush as well and it’s pretty good if you know how to do it. I don’t let it rotate by itself over and over because it makes your hair frizzy af... I let it rotate to the scalp and drag it down manually 10 times. And it doesn’t tangle either! It’s a good choice if you don’t have time or you’re not that good handling the classic brushes.
I'm definitely going to try that technique with it!
If you actually remember this thread, please let me know how it worked for you
Axy Pater I tried it out today and it made such a difference! I didn't always like the bend I'd get in my hair from the big brush with your technique kept it straighter. I took my time bringing the brush down the hair too and it smoothed it nicely. Thank you. 😄
Thank you for this! Lovely. I use this sectioning technique for curling my hair. I’ll first blow dry it the best I can and then instead of round brushing it, I’ll use the curling iron. Much much easier if blow drying isn’t your expertise.
“You are looking so beautiful today!” As I sit on my bed with a four year old T-shirt on, hair sticking straight up, breathing with my mouth wide open 😂😂😂
OMG I can't believe it, I used to do nearly all of this and my hair still sucked, turns out
the only thing I was missing was the proper direction technique for the blow dryer and it made an EXTREME difference!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Us gorgeous? You are OUR QUEEN ON THE SCREEN
you could NEVER Bore me w Information or details! ❤️ the more the better😍
I’m living for this. Like seriously. As a stylist it irks me to see someone do a horrible blow out. This blowout is perfect.
“Your ends are probably CrUsTeE”. 😂😂😂😂😂
Ashley Pham same
OH MY GOD! Tried following the video and GUUURLL I LIIIIVEEEE! 90% mastered the salon style blow out, I mean I did get confused with the back, but my hair is so SOFFFTTTT and looks so CHICcc
FINALLY A VID THAT I NEEDED IN MY LIFE AND FOR MY CURLY HAIR
Curly hair specific blow out! With blow dry straightener and everything!
I use Chroma Riche but lately I’m loving Tigi S Factor range. You are cheering me up so much, thank you Brad 💥
"you are looking SO gorgeous today"
...
..
*me looking into the mirror, seeing the hot mess that is my hair and my pimples*
*chuckles* "thanks~"
xD
When you turned the mannequin head upside down I nearly had a panic attack LOL choking on my drink over here
Christina K okay I really think you don’t know what a panic attack is
Love this tutorial! I am looking to change the way to round brush for more volume and this is helpful. Just have to say, wow, those eyes! It was difficult to focus on your tutorial at times. I was mesmerized.
why is that halo section highkey a lewk
like catch me on the streets with that hairstyke i think its bomb
“...& let me tell you, she has some shitty hair”!!! Holy shit! I was eating apple pie & ice cream & I nearly choked I laughed so hard & unexpectedly!
