I love this man. You just saved us all from having to do the trial and error of finding the right product. Truly a man of the people 😂🙏🏽
I agree. Brad us a wonderful genuine person
You think it’s the same for black hair?
@@ShelbieMua it will definitely be more brassy or you’ll have to do multiple rounds of bleaching and tone
@@ShelbieMua my partner has had success using the Arctic fox bleach kits on 4b hair, the main downfall is the measly amount of product compared to what’s actually needed. But I’d recommend instead going to a salon supply store and getting 30 vol, 20 vol, and 10 vol and doing multiple rounds of bleaching over the course of a couple weeks (with scalp treatments in between bleaching). The 30 vol will bring it to a very orange colour, the 20 and 10 vol will lift the rest without absolutely demolishing the natural curl pattern of ur hair!
yes
I haven’t been to a professional since 2013. I’ve always bleached/colored my hair myself. But your videos encouraged me to FINALLY go to a professional to go from black to blonde. I told myself “listen to Brad! You will fry your hair again if you try to do this at home! Or end up with cheetah spots!” So thank you! I love you so much ❤️
was it worth it??
I've had better luck bleaching my hair myself than going to salons 😂 Last time I went, I spent $200 to turn my hair into straw because I felt too embarrassed to complain.
@@grammaurai6843 last time I went to a salon she completely messed up what I wanted and also damaged my hair 😭 I then went to someone that comes to your home and she was horrified at how the previous gal messed up. I went back to dying my hair dark brown at home and then just stopped once the pandemic hit. I want to have some fun with my hair again but I’m also sad I’ll have to give up two years of natural colour 😭
Good luck fellow Shelbie😁
Right?? The only time I've gone to a professional for coloring(been coloring on and off since 6th grade(and I'm 34 now), is when I wanted to go from red(I have had every possible shade of red, from more natural looking "ginger" hair, to clown red, to..well, not red, but a more burgundy color) And come to find out from the stylists, colored red hair, especially boxed color(I would sometimes use boxed and sometimes higher quality stuff from Sally's) is one of the hardest to get rid of!! It took multiple sessions and some damage, and a crap load of money, before I finally got it back to my natural color.
And then less than a year later I got bored of it and started coloring again at home 🤣🤣🤣🤦♀️🤦♀️
honestly, i appreciate this because I paid almost 300 bucks for some lady to do the WORST job on my hair ever. she had thick, goopy bleach, and applied in on the top of my head first. covered it all (most of it ending up on the floor) and let it sit for almost an hr. rinsed it, and a HUGE chunk of hair was missed so she rebleached my whole head and left me for another 45 mins! As a "courtesy" she put Olaplex in my hair...
I waited a few days to wash my hair because it was also colored (highlighter pink...my choice. was for charity). got out of the shower and my hair was a noodle-y mess. i tried to brush it and hair was breaking like crazy. i just bundled it in a towel and let it dry. when i took the towel off my hair was so frizzy it was out to my shoulders. I don't think I ever cried over my hair before that day. It took me 2 years to repair the damage, and even to this day, despite me having grown out all of the damage, it still doesn't feel the same. This lady claimed to be a stylist for almost 30 years and a salon owner for almost 20. You would think she would know what she was doing. She even damaged my shirt...covered in bleach stains. Literally, the worst salon experience I have ever had.
So, I am honestly to the point that I would rather spend 30-40 bucks to ruin my hair all on my own. at least my broken/damaged hair tears won't include me crying over the money I saved up to have it done.
I would look into seeing if she was actually licensed.
Crying over hair? 😂 Just shave it off
@LesleySister. Don't judge her for crying over her hair. Some people are particular about how they present. Sounds like it was for a chartist you event and I'm sure she was excited about how she was gonna look. So it's easy for you to say as it seems your hair is not part of your identity. Is anything particular part of your identity?
@@Irishcloth I'm in Oregon! If you have a hair wizard, please share!
@@TinyMelon She's over in Salem, are you close to there?
I've always assumed they put conditioner in the box because it's likely a higher quality conditioner than the average person just has in their house, which will make the end result look and feel better. I've always noticed that the conditioner that comes in box dye makes my hair feel much softer than the conditioners I normally use, which are basically just drugstore conditioners.
Yes, it's more of a mask than a conditioner. It should be also color protective and very heavy on the "soft" / "slick" ingredients
Same I absolutely love box dye conditioner. Have yet to find one that is as great. Have tried so many
I buy box dyes, when discounted that I don't use, just for the conditioner! Why don't they sell it when so many people love it?
I know right? My grandma passed away in January and when going through her kitchen pantry I found so many box dyes.Every single box had no dye because she used it however they all had the conditioners. I'm like you and Love the conditioner so it made we wonder why she didn't use it.
The conditioners the put in the boxes have silicone in them, which is what creates the smoothness. I have short, fine, hair and you best believe I keep the conditioners (and shampoo if there’s one). I love them.
I hope this eventually gets the attention of Brad because I selfishly want to know the answer for myself, but in the long run it will really help us curly and coily girls in the long run. Okay so I just have a suggestion for a future video with this exact concept BUT it's for "box dye lighteners" that are favorites of the black community, or people with textured hair in general. The top brands I've seen and used myself are: Clairol Texture and Tones, Dark N' Lovely, and the favorite, Creme of Nature. If you could get a manequin with curly AND coily hair (so like type 3 and 4) and try the lightest blond shades from each of the brands on a SUPER dark base I'd just about pass out from happiness. I think it's so important for us to see videos like that, because when you look at reviews online for these brands they're inconsistent or they're all fails because most of us don't know what we're doing 😂, and it's hard enough taking the plunge to do a DIY hair transformation. I know all hair types can be damaged but curly and coily hair especially so, as you're well aware. Anyway, I hope this idea gets picked up one day. In the meantime, I'm going super light ginger blond this weekend so we'll see how that goes lol.
BRAD PLEASE READ HER POST! I definitely agree and would Love to see such a video by him !
Yes that’s a great suggestion! I’d love to watch that !
Great idea hun
Yea this is an awesome idea!
Co-sign!!
my mom, is a garnier stan ever since she became blond she always uses that one for retouching. she is the only woman i know that her blond hair doesnt look drying or damaged
tbh I wanna try to get my mother on it cause she's always used L'Oreal and her hair is... in a state
@@noonchucks ironically Garnier is owned by L’Oréal. 😅
my mom used to use the "white chocolate" color when I was a kid, the smell makes me nostalgic
That’s what I’ve been using for touch ups for years! But I don’t know how he found it for $4.49 because it’s like $8-$9.
Garnier has good, affordable products all round.
I have so many memories of stealing my mom's conditioner from her box dye because it seemed way more luxurious than our $2 conditioner
I know right!
It smells so good!
This!!! Yea!!! When he said, “I don’t know why conditioners are in these!” I am over here thinking- THEY are the best compared to the standard conditioners! I found the conditioners at Sally’s!’
I'm already a blonde who uses Nutrisse to cover my greys, as I am now 59 years old. I've even had my hairdresser ask who colors my hair. lol When I say that I did it, she was impressed with the color. I simply can't afford to pay around $150 to color my hair. I do leave the cutting to the experts, though.
Alot of us can't.
I use henna and you should of seen my hairdressers face when I told her 😆
Im using henna and just get my hair layered by the professional. I cant afford to pay all the time for color. I will say that the ion box dyes at sallys is real good.
I use the Garnier 100 . My hair color is so beautiful. People ask me on the streets for my stylists number 😂
I'm a Hairdressing student and I'll admit I commit the ultimate hair sin of using black box dye...I'm not paying 200+ to dye my hair
What colour do u use please I'm blonde to get rid of my greys
The colorista has both English and French because the brand is French (L'Oréal Paris).
New/nouveau
Bleach/decolorant
All over/complet
It's not a typo. It's French. LoL
Also I don't know where he got his box but here in Canada everything is labeled both in English and French. If you order online (Amazon) sometimes they ship canadian stuff. It's basically the same product/packaging, they just add a French translation to it.
Lol I was laugh yelling that at the screen. "It's Freeeennnnnnch!"
As a French subscriber I'm offended lol
"Its not a typo , its french" has got to be the best/.ost accurate sentence i've seen today
@karina Carr, thanks soooo much for explaining that bc it was REALLY bothering me 😆
The conditioner that came with my moms box dye growing up was always so much better than our regular cheap conditioner, so I remember I used to steal the conditioner from her box dye lol
LMAO SAME
Lmaooo I did this to my mom, and now my daughter does it to me. Full circle
Omg me too😭
Féria was my fave in Cremelights by L’Oréal. Sadly it was discontinued. Looking for a dupe!
Same!
My go-to's for bleaching my hair at home are Arctic Fox or Strawberry Leopard. The only reason I even tried the Strawberry Leopard was because the store was out of my Arctic Fox that day. I manage to get the job done with just one box, but I have a pixie cut, and the right side of my head is shaved kinda. Anyway, glad to see Arctic Fox come out on top!
the great thing about arctic fox as well is that you can close up the lightener and developer, so if you don't use it all you can save it for next time. It also has slight violet tint which helps with the brassy tones. Since most of arctic fox's customers are using it for creative color, often doing only sections not the whole head, this makes even more sense.
You can't save bleach. It has a shelf life of a few hours, if even that.
my mom was a pro hairstylist back in the day and she only uses Garnier hair dye now. it's really nice and leaves the hair in good shape. so glad you finally actually gave box dye an honest try lol
*thumbs up*
He didn't use boxed dye. He used boxed bleached. Two different things.
@@s.a.1858 I'm aware of that, I watched the video. I meant it in a boarder sense.
@@s.a.1858 in the title he calls it box dye anyways
Garnier has always been my favorite. It’s relatively inexpensive and leaves the hair in the best shape and the conditioner is amazing
Brad, I am a hijabi and I love watching you and have learned so much from your videos! I am currently rocking some blue and turquoise strands and while not many will see my hair, I feel so confident just knowing I did it and so although you may not realize, you really do inspire a very diverse group out here and give us the confidence to express ourselves through creativity :) In my religion we follow a compliment with mashalah so I end by saying-Thank you and you are Amazing mashalah:)
I love this comment so much 🥺😍❤️
That’s amazing I love when people change things for themselves I love that you dyed your hair for you. I bet it looks great.
This is so fab! Good on you!
such a beautiful comment and way to show love for yourself through change that mostly only you can see 🖤
Because of this video, I had the gumption to try to bleach my dark hair with the Garnier, and I was amazed!!! It was $10(not $4) but it was for sure less expensive than going to the salon for $200+
As always, thanks Brad!!
Did you tone it after!?
BRAD!! I’ve been watching you for years and just wanted to say, you’re such a great dude. I love how even in your reaction videos when the hair is BAD, you’re never MEAN. You always find a nice way to spin it, you always offer suggestions for the next time someone does their hair at home, etc. etc. etc. you’re just a great dude and all of us really enjoy your videos, and I have loved seeing your content over the years. Keep up the good work and keep on smiling. Love you, man!! Because of your tips and tricks I’m confident enough to do my own hair! Whether it’s at home color or highlights, cutting it/trimming it or giving myself a totally new hairstyle. It’s not always perfect, but I always end up loving it and I always say a quiet thank you to you in my head for helping me get to my skill level today. I’ve dyed friends hair, I’ve cut my own hair and partner’s hair and even cut my husbands hair now(he’s easy though, typically he prefers a buzz cut but when he’s growing it out and lets me do a fade on him it always turns out awesome). So just thank you for what you do, love you and your content and your personality. Can’t wait to see more from you, Brad! 🤩🩵
I was reading an article about box dye vs salon dye. They had a pro from L’Oreal talking about how awful box dye was. I was like, “Hey. My guy. The people you work for make like 15 different box dyes, over multiple brands. You might want to hair this convo out.”
They own Garnier, and Dark n Lovely.
The one thing I wonder tho is if there are still unprofessional, name brand box colors on the shelf. Because just like salon products (not the color/chemicals but the retail on the shelves) are only guaranteed when sold in salon. There have been tests on professional, salon-grade hair care products vs the same products from store’s like Walmart, Target, TJ Maxx or Ross for example. And they have usually found identical packaging but in the store’s they found clear differences in consistency and bacteria in some because they are from third party (illegal) distributors. Or sometimes it is the real thing but it’s expired and sold for cheaper. Bacteria would probably not live in hair chemicals but I wonder what type of box color third party distributors could come up with🫣🤔
Maybe all of the (pro brand) box colors ARE good and stylists just say they’re bad because they don’t want their clients’ to overlap/overprocess their hair. That’d make sense because ppl don’t realize how complex formulating color and the application can get
To be clear I am not saying all hair products sold outside salon are bad but that is what they kinda teach us in hair school. But it is important to buy from a source you can trust, anytime you’re using products on your skin. We trust these big companies too much that usually prioritizes money rather than our well-being
Sorry lol let me just summarize and say most box color/non professional products are fine as long as you know what you’re doing/research first
Interesting that they own Garnier.. L'Oreal and L'Oreal Professional are different and I'm sure he worked for the professional one that stylists uses. But I get where you coming from, because he's not helping his company sell more products in drugstores
Dark n Lovely is actually not as strong as Garnier.
YES THANK GOODNESS YOU POSTED I was so bored 😂💃🏾🙌🏾🌈💕🤣
He’s the best 💛
fr i was just stalking him 💀
Same!! 🤣🤣
ME TOO
👍
I used to use the L'Oreal Feria platinum kit, which is way better than the Colorista & a couple bucks cheaper. The drugstore ones come w/ toning conditioners because they're intended to be platinum dyeing kits, not just straight bleaching kits. The Arctic Fox one doesn't come with a protein mask, conditioner, or any other kind of fillers because it's meant to just prep your hair for Arctic Fox semi-permanent dyes - so you need some porosity left to pick up the color. Those dyes are pretty conditioning in and of themselves, too.
They're literally just colored conditioners. So.
3:23 honestly the sachet of conditioner that comes with Revlon Colorsilk box dyes is the best product that I've ever used on my hair, it make my hair feel and look even better than when I get a Brazilian keratin blowout. I wish they sold it separately
It is good stuff
Yesss ,it's so good!!!
They do that on purpose! Iearnt that in class I took. Then people loyal to buying the color.!
I used the arctic fox bleach kit for my roots and I actually really loved it! I only had to leave it in for 15 minutes and it lifted my level 6 roots to a level 10!!
I took my bangs from dyed black freshly dyed to neon pink in one day using that bleach and their color. I do a shampoo cap on the bangs every five or six weeks to catch the roots and brighten the color. But as much as I I have used it there's no damage at all. My 17 year old I bleached the tips of his twists. Worked great and his hair is naturally very very dark brown and took about maybe five or six minutes to get to a yellow orange which apparently is a cool color for kids now I don't know.
same! it worked really well for me. i would also recommend manic panic box dye 30 volume
I tried doing my hair at home for the first time, and I screwed up how much bleach I would need for my hair. So, I ended up having to use this kit twice within the span of a few weeks as I tried to fix the splotchy bleaching I had the first time. For the second time, I did mix some shampoo in to do a bleach bath.
I haven't had any hair loss and it worked great, even though I only went a few weeks between bleach treatments. My hair feels perfectly normal one day after bleaching and dyeing. The only extra product I used was hair mask the day before and the day after every bleach treatment.
Thanks for the tip !!
Same! It turns my hair white every time! Dark brown hair here
I actually REALLY LOVE BRAD MONDO!!!❤️
I'm a 52 year old average Mom livng in the south and probably not the most common of your watching demographic but I just LOVE YOU!
Your kindness and good heart seem readily apparent. We need good influences like you. And, I mean. C'mon! Brad knows how to make hair gorgeous!!
👍
I’m a mom of 2 who is 49 and I live in Mississippi- Deep South! So maybe we are his demographic after all! Lol
I’m a mom and 46 years old living in Texas so I think there is more of us than we think lol
I´m a mom and 48 years old. 😂😂
Same here (basically): 54yo Midwest, and I'm crazy about Brad Mondo and his channel! He is a hair-saver and I've learned so much. I love going to the salon but when I can't afford to I just trust Brad. When my family and friends can't go to the salon they come to me and we turn to Brad Mondo so I don't screw up. Thank you Brad Mondo and team!!
Bleach London now have a “plex” bleach, that has a bond builder included too! I prefer it so much to the original and makes my hair feel so much better.
i know this comment is 8 months old but would you mind elaborating on the difference you've felt between the two! they are both in my local drugstore and i wanna bleach my hair so your experience would be useful! thank u anyway if not
@@skipskylark9525 the bond builder sort of works like olaplex! it minimises the damage done to your hair and makes it feel healthy and strong, and it’s the same price, so worth it
I used to go to salons for color, but as a medium Ash blonde I find Revlon Colorsilk blondes, followed by toner, gives me a gorgeous result and my hair doesn't feel like hay, lol. Cheap, too.
During my 15 years as a redhead I only used body art quality henna. Sometimes I miss it, but I rocked it for a while. Now, I love being blonde again.
What toner do you use?
@@gail1001 wella, various choices depending on the mood, lol.
@@katashley1031 I used the bleach london white toner today and it turned out really well!
@@gail1001 never heard of it. What's the outcome color? I am usually aiming for a light natural blonde or champaign blonde without gold or orange tones.
I have natural red tones in my brown hair that no hair dye can give other than henna.
I’ve been watching him for years! I’ve never touched bleach or color in my life, I recently bleached black box dye out of my best friends hair and it came out yellow and one full color! We dyed her hair a light red so it could fade into a ginger. I’ve never been prouder in my life!❤️🫶🏼 Love you Brad
Well Done you! 👏🏾
Congratulations.
Was this using the dye in the video? I’m wanting to get rid of my box dyed black hair and go back to red, but I’m too scared to do it haha!
Wish you would have filmed it !
@@finaltemptation3558 I want from black to lighter hair and it destroyed it. Black is hard to get out. Use a color remover first and it save you so much
Brad your hair is lookin like an upgraded version of the early 2000s and I'm here for it
Arctic Fox rocks!!! It has the toner built into the bleach so it is a one step process. I've bleached my daughters hair several times with it and it comes out so good and she has very curly mousy brown hair. But has been blonde for 2 1/2 years now. Thanks for confirming what a great product it truly is.
Did Garnier!!! Then the wolf cut “ mostly as instructed “ it was fantastic!!! Thank you Brad Mondo!! 49 years young and you are my hair God!!!💕
Hair God, for sure.
Miss Manne-Quin: “oh hell no brad not this again!”
Brad: “you should stop talking and I’ll start applying!”
Brad: chokes on the bleach fumes.
All the other Miss Manne-Quin’s: “Karma bitch!”
Brad you are an icon we love you! ❤️❤️ xx
💀💀💀
🤣😂🤣🤣☠️💀 love this comment
This made me snort my drink out through my nose!
😂
I’ve tried Arctic Fox’s Bleach Please twice and Garnier several times (my hair has been every color under the rainbow🥰) over the past few years, and can confirm that Garnier is by far the better choice 💁🏻♀️ my hair is a dark espresso brown, and after two bleaches, Garnier got it several levels lighter than Arctic Fox, and still felt pretty healthy.
Sometimes the least expensive works better than the most expensive, in my experience anyway😇😉
I always get a good chuckle from watching these. Brad is effortlessly hilarious 😂
Phenomenal video, Brad!! I love it when you compare products for us like that. Thanks SO MUCH!
Brad, thank you so much for this video. I've been sitting on a couple boxes of Feria Hyper Platinum and ash blonde toner, re-watching all your videos on bleach and color. I'd just started to wuss out, and you posted the answers to all my questions except one: Would you ever do a series on 50+ women WITH YOUR DAD? Not Golden Girls hair, but dramatic makeovers. I'm living for this concept.
Would LOVE that too!
Brad, I would love to see you test the new toners that are starting to pop up beside the box bleach kits...
I used to box dye my hair once a month from 13-19 and I almost always used the garnier brand! The colour deposits well and it leaves your hair feeling soft and not dead! Never bleached, but I have gone everywhere from light blonde, red, purple, orange, dark brown etc
I have to say though, in my days of using box hair dye, I LOVED the conditioner that came with them. The smell and the way it made my hair feel was just “chefs kiss” !!. I would usually have to buy two boxes of whatever hair day I was purchasing because one box was never enough.
Brad darling you mixed up the ratings for Bleach London and Colorista at the end! You gave Colorista a 6/10 and Bleach London a 7/10 but you swapped the ratings during the line up.
Yes! And I'm pretty sure he gave one an 8.5
I was looking for this comment, it was bugging me 😂😅
@@TheAbigailBennett same 😂
ooops!
My hair has never looked better, thanks to your DIY videos! Much love ❤️
You have such an awesome personality that I just can't get enough of watching your videos ♥️♥️♥️
I started using Arctic Fox bleach after finding their hair dye to be incredible. Was nervous because it was more natural. First time I used it, my extremely dark brown hair was platinum blonde in 5-10 minutes. It was not even, because I didn't care since I was dying pink over it so the golden blonde in small places because of my application was fine. I'll never use anything else, because my hair didn't feel so gross after using AF. It also doesn't smell horrendously deadly either.
So glad it was his favorite, because it became my favorite after 10 minutes.
I don’t trust myself enough to do my own hair, but I still enjoy watching these videos. Thanks Brad! 💗
I’m so glad Brad does these types of videos, I changed the way I applied my box hair dye and how to cut my hair on my own.
Brad, I appreciate you so much. I have learned so much about hair color from you. I had no idea what to do when my hair turned orange or yellow until you taught us about toners. I didn't know what was happening, why it was turning those weird colors, that it was fixable and so on. The worst part is I have not only had this happen when I've done my own hair, but when hair dressers that I've been hundreds of dollars to who did not know how to tone or properly lift my hair. It's shocking and it only goes to show what a master you are!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. My husband and I now can do my own hair for pennies on the dollar without my hair falling out of my head or looking like a freak. You're the best!
Love that you mentioned to check the package details.
One of the local bleach kits here called Bleach Cloud comes with a load of 30 volume developer, an a 167g pack of slightly dusty bleach powder. For some reason it doesn't stink that much when mixed and applied, compared to the blue powder we can get from a vaciador (a local and generic Sallys-like place) in the Philippines.
It was a bit milder too I guess? Not entirely sure but it did not fry my locks, didn't sting on my scalp, and lifted level 0 virgin to around level 8-9 after 1 session of processing for an hour, with a-OK strand tug tests every five minutes or so. It did kinda souffle up under the plastic and it heated up like no one's business, but the results are fab.
Oh, it arrives with latex gloves, a rat tail comb + brush, and mixing bowl too so definitely a fan. I wish they sold just the powder so I can use, say, a 20 volume developer.
Also the only good thing about box dye is how good the included conditioner almost always smells 👌
I box dye bleached my hair last night ! I can't believe you released this today 😂
Wow. 👍
How did that go?? :)
@@notaburneraccount it went pretty good actually
Thank you for taking your time to share information in a fun way, love it!!
Yesssss. I use Garnier for all my bleaching purposes. Never burns my scalp, gives great lift and my hair feels amazing afterwards. It's worth it for being on the cheap end. Mind you, here in Canada you're paying much more for any hair products. ( Garnier costs about $9 in my area, loreal is like, $15-$20 per box)
1:23 That's indeed not a typo on the box ”complet" is a French word which means complete
The packaging is written both in French and English 😌
L'Oréal Paris is a French brand so that's normal
I use garnier for my hair. It feels healthier, really nice color, way cheaper than professional care. I'll probably use it for years to come.
This video is definitely one that needed to be made you are going help tons of people thank you for sharing your knowledge!
You don't know how much I enjoy your videos and your personality Brad!! I love youu
That Garnier is what I’ve been using for my root touch ups for years. I don’t know how he managed to find it that cheap, it’s always almost twice that! 🤔
I want to start bleaching my own hair ,I’m sick of paying out a fortune.I’m scared of messing it up though 😅
I’m an anti-box dye lady. Today in Target I caved. Not going to lie. I’m so impressed. Great color (roots a tiny hot. My fault for using a bag and not foils) no loss of hair, came with not just conditioner, but a shampoo for after. I hate to say it, but I might be done with salons after 33 + years.
Which one did you get? That’s awesome!
Yeah. I'm curious 2
Seriously, the people demand to know!! Lol what kind did you use???
Which one
At 130 I spent last time I would be too
I’d love to see a part 2 with other brands!! Maybe with Hair relaxers? 😊
You gave us exactly what we wanted. Love you Brad!🙏🏻
Loving your wave tech shampoo and conditioner! Can’t wait to get the rest of the products! My hair has never been so soft!
I always used to use the BLEACH London kit to lighten my salon done balayage, along with the BLEACH London deep conditioner and my hair was so healthy and looked great. But I am obsessed with watching hair-dying videos so I at least had some knowledge to use.
I've been using the L'oreal colorista for a while and gotta say, it never disappointed. I mainly used it to get the ombre look for the ends on medium lenght hair and it always turned out great :)
but we have the ombre kits in Europe, depending on what you want the result to be, I don't use the all over bleach kit
As always, you are THE best, Brad!!! BTW I'm loving your hair and make up in this post! 😊❤️
When I was in high school I always used garnier box products and my hair was really light, also felt great and smelled great haha. I’ve since moved away from box hair products but good to hear you like that brand.
While I DO now use the regular ol' stuff from Sally's, back in the day I used two out of four of those. Manic Panic's bleach kit was always my favorite since it lifted the most, but, honestly? They were all fine. Using the straight up developer and bleach just lets me be a lot more custom with it, so I have come to agree with you that it's ultimately the way to go. But I can't hate on the grocery store aisle bleaches. They're not terrible if you're willing to be flexible about your results... and have pretty strong hair.
What a great video! I've only used the Arctic Fox and I LOVED it. It is expensive, so I've switched to buying larger quantities of developer and powder lightener, but for a kit, this one was awesome. Definitely recommend. (I'm a medium blonde for the record.)
Thank you for bringing justice to the bleach please one Brad! I bought it despite the low ratings it had, but I actually loved how gentle it was!!!!
BRAD MONDO, I need you to make a natural red dye so I can finally dye my hair! ❤❤❤❤❤
Box dye bleaches are actually good if you know what you're doing. Many have the developer volumes hidden on the box, but you can usually find them. But yeah, many people DON'T know what they're doing 😭
Brad I used your turquoise dye from your xmondo color line, omfg my hair has Never been so bold, soft and silky. I’m obsessed!
Ive used the arctic fox to bleach my own hair without even being able to see the back of my head and I honestly was extremely impressed it was a tad brassy at the roots because the ends lightened quicker so id recommend an blue and purple base toner
I’ve been touching up my roots with the L’Oréal one for the last few months! So excited to see your review.
Edit: I also hate the applicator bottle, I end up mixing everything in a bowl and apply with a brush
Only time I’ve ever damaged my hair with “box bleach” in a decade was when I went from black to blonde and did two treatments in a week which I knew was dumb
*PEANUTS*
ive done 2 in one sitting from proper dark black to ash blonde o.o
Same 😅
I adore Brad!!❤😂 I'm laughing constantly AND learning a lot since he is a wonderful teacher. ❤️
Wow, thank you for detail comparisons!😊 helped a lot😅
I think it would be cool to do bleach & toning videos together. Like explain what level they are, what undertones you see and what toner your followers could use. I know you have a seperate toner video already but a video like this then followed up with a toner and blow dry would be cool.
Although the Garnier and Colorista colors seem very close, I love the shine on the Garnier one.
You’re greatness ! And the content it’s great as well 🙏💪🏼
I used that exact Garnier box on dark brown hair, like level 4ish, and I didn't know how light it would be, but I knew light blonde wasn't going to happen. I was also pleasantly surprised with the light strawberry copper reddish blonde, which was always my usual color for years before I stopped coloring anyway, so I liked it. It will definitely get dark bases to strawberry blonde.
The way he made the boxes walk in like contestants made my day
My hair is dark brown nearly black that is quite dry, and I use nutrisse garnier 100, and it gives me a perfect base for my rose gold hair by itself, while keeping it super hydrated! My local hairdressers CANNOT do colorful hair, and they either refuse right away or do a terrible job lightening, so I prefer to do it myself and found it safer and had better results doing it myself.
Ommm i will try this!!! Thank you Jessica
I use the L’Oréal colorista to get temporary color out of my hair, like arctic fox or lime crime, etc, and it works really well for that! But only because my hair was already bleached, so it’s a nice “soft” way of lifting blues and pinks out, for me personally. But I generally go with that Arcticfox bleach please all the time! It’s fantastic!
Love love love your hair in this ❤️
I recommend Revlon Dark Ash Blonde box dye to correct your color after bleaching if its yellow and orange or blotchy. It works for me every time and Lift Up is a decent box bleach
The L’Oréal colorista bleach is actually a 30 volume developer. It has “30 v” printed on the bottles, you just have to look.
I use the the R3 red from Garnier and have for over 10 years and my hair has never been destroyed and always looks even and awesome color. I've always loved their stuff.
I love this hair color & style on Brad. Very youthful 💗
Okay i love that you're testing these. Just a warning for people who wanna use these or similar ones, if your hair is longer than your chin or thick at all, you're gonna need multiple boxes. I've done my hair myself for years and have long thick hair so it just made sense to get the tub of powder bleach and developer from a hair shop. It was much cheaper in the long run!
Yup I feel u. I'm at the point where it's cheaper to go to Sally's again. Hair is back o my waist snd it's 5 to 6 boxes to do my whole head. Just my roots at 6 weeks took just over 2, maybe used 1/4 of the 3rd one.
Just so yall know, there’s always the volume on box dye & box bleach developers! You can find it on the actual bottle; not the label on the box, not the label on the bottle, but on the plastic of the bottle lmao. It’s sorta embossed on the clear part, easy to miss but 10 times outta 10, it will be on there!
That, is good to know. Thank you for that. I actually checked the bottle on my developer and there it was, right in the plastic. Not easy to see, but it's there.
That's absolutely not true, especially with garnier smh
Brad looks extra good in this video! He looks glowing :)
thank you Brad! we needed this. lol. so we all can do this at home 🤣🤣
I actually really like Garnier's color line in general, I always use their semi permanent color when I go natural and I've used it for like 14 years at this point. It was the only dye my mom would buy for me when I was wanting to dye my hair at 13. The color always fades really even and well and its very easy to saturate all the hair
Same! I've been using their R3 red for over 10 years and always get compliments asking where I get my hair done 🤣 at home with box dye. The gasps I get when I say that is funny. But if it works then who cares! My hair has never had major breakage always silky and shiny. It always fades beautifully, so much so sometimes I get more compliments as it fades lol.
I stand by AF's Bleach Please, so I'm glad to see that it's getting some recognition. I'm always able to cover my whole head with one box (tho tbf I have an undercut lol) and the results are consistent every single time. And I'm real lazy and real sloppy tbh, I get five minutes in and I'm throwing the brush in the sink and just using my hands lmao. Never had a breakage problem and my hair always feels amazing afterwards, honestly it's the best.
Came to the comments to say this! I go from dark brown to white w this stuff! Love it
YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I won’t use another!!!!!!!!!!
I'm trying to find an alternative because I can't bring myself to financially support Arctic Fox/ Kristen Leanne after the things she's said, are there other brands you've tried that have these results?
@@Samantha-vg5ro The only other brand I've tried that's even close is this one called Brite, my niece grabbed it for me from Walmart when I was desperate and it worked quite well. If it helps at all, I was also *very* on the fence about continuing to support AF for a while, but it turns out Leanne left the company completely in late 2021, and since then it's really seemed like the company is doing all they can to distance themselves from her. 👍 If not, tho, I totally get it and hopefully Brite will give you similarly good results if you can find it!
@@Samantha-vg5ro she’s not part of the company anymore
I love how you present everything! Too cute! I'd keep watching even if I didn't want to bleach my hair lol.
This video is so much fun to watch
I actually like the Granier hair color products overall. I've been dying my mom's hair for years with them and they work really well. The hair color (not bleach) is great. Leaves her hair so soft compared to other dyes.
The conditioner that comes in box dye leaves your hair much nicer and I believe it’s supposed to help “lock in” the color. Also when I used box bleached on my Mexican dark brown and long hair in my teens I required like 4 boxes for my hair to truly saturate. Idk what my mom did when she applied it but I was BLEACHED BLONDE LOL! Toner would’ve been helpful though.
Nowadays it’s so expensive! Might as well purchase my stuff at Sally’s. I’ve abused my amazing genes enough lol
They’re full of silicones which is why they feel nice. They basically coat the hair in a film
I've used the garnier and the colorista and they worked well for what I needed, which was a light yellow. I color over it with lavender and it's lovely!
Your hair! It's giving FRED 😍
I used Bleach Please on my almost black hair (salon dyed not box) and the results were amazing. Well worth the $40!!!
So excited you reviewed a product we have in the UK! I’ve not experienced any breakages with Bleach London (I have really thick hair though-and I only bleach the tips and still need two boxes). They have a Plex Bleach kit that’s only £3 more though which is nice. For some reason Arctic Fox’s ingredients are not compliant with EU/UK standards so I’ve never gotten to try them.
She is conversational I wouldn't buy anything from her brand Artic Fox ekkk I don't support racist's... Maybe it's a good thing you can't try this brand because it's means less money goes to a racist. I am from the U.S. it's a scandalous deal with her and not enough room on here to go into detail's...
@@richiethev4623 whoa! had no idea/don't know anything about the company or her, just that I always see people using the brand in RUclips videos and realised it wasn't sold in the UK. Definitely not trying to give money to racists, though!
I have used the Arctic Fox bleach since it came out. I swear by it! It gets my hair super light which makes my hot pink hair turn out amazing. I leaves my hair soft cuz of the oils in it and not brittle like other bleaches. Plus it cruelty free 🥰 I only have to use 1 box and still have some left over but I do have short hair.
I honestly would love to see you expand your salon quality products into making your very own bleach, I would appreciate what you would provide to the hair community with your own bleach. I know you’ve talked about your own toners in the past, but a bleach would be so kickass by you !
