 Listen. I like to consider myself an open-minded person. Somebody who likes to go against the norm. There's a line though for me and it's like kind of like this. It's kind of like a line like this. It's a thin line. Can we make that a little bit thinner? It's like that. Like like a very thin fine line where um something's too much for me personally. Fire haircutting is one of those things that is too much for me to handle. My mind doesn't want to go there. It doesn't want it to be a thing but I'm not gonna lie when I say I've been curious about it. Ever since I watched it I think in a reaction video? Yes. There was a reaction video I did about fire haircutting and ever since then I have been interested in it. It's finally come to the point where I want to give it a try. I want to do it. I am opening myself up. I'm going past that fine line of what is too much for me and I'm going to do it. I'm going to give it a try. I'm going to try out this. I'm going to do this and I'm going to try and have an open mind for today's video. I'm going to be a believer today and just try it. So I will be doing fire haircutting. Oh my good friend Miss Many Queen. I know she's been here a lot. I know it's kind of annoying like she's not a real person but like I don't know she's my friend and like I hope you can find love in your heart for her because she's going to be here a lot. We're going to use the same one I've been using for the last few videos because she is ready to just be gone now. I have a few more stucked up in the closet. A few more mannequins ready to go but Miss Many Queen that I've been using in the last few videos is ready to just have her hair cremated and maybe that's what's going to happen today or maybe she's going to get a fabulous haircut and she will live on and she will thrive but I'm thinking probably not. But first hold the frig on. I'm going to be doing a giveaway and you guys you know what giveaways are cool and I like doing them and they're fun so if you want to enter listen the frig up.

Thank you so much for watching that and let's get this freaking video started. Let's do it. So believe it or not I don't know much about how to actually go about cutting hair with fire. No that is not taught in school that is not taught anywhere how to do that so I decided I could do research on my own or I could do research with you and I thought maybe doing research with you would be more fun so let's do some research. So there is this video by ASLS and it's called women try fire haircuts and maybe we can learn a thing or two here before we start but basically I'm I want to split up Miss Maddie Quinn's hair down the middle do a fire haircut on one side and do a regular haircut on the other side and compare both and see what happens. That's my concept. All right let's watch the video. Those are that's a blowtorch. Dude they're so brave. I'd be a little scared if I were them. Why are they volunteering for this? But Brad open mind I think open mind with knives not with fire. Somebody probably lit their hair on fire and realized maybe that's not a good idea and there's somebody else was like yo we should use a knife and somebody was like yeah that's a great idea. So no I don't exactly believe the ancients use fire to cut their hair. I'm sorry I'm gonna say that's a probably a no for me. Guys I am not a historian so don't come for me if that's incorrect but just a thought. Just a thought. There's a legend. There's also medicine for lice shampoo for lice. You can go the fire route or I don't know you could get the medicine for it but you know I didn't go to medical school so I'm not a doctor and I could be wrong. Once again I could be wrong. Okay there's honestly like nobody in the world that doesn't have split ends. Okay I don't care how healthy your hair is you got split ends. The only time you should be concerned about your split ends is when there's a lot of them and it's horrendous and it's frizzy and disgusting because of them otherwise everybody has split ends. Okay so she wants a haircut at her shoulders. Okay I could get into that. Stop that again. I am not sure heat seals keratin so if you didn't already know your hair is made out of keratin which is a protein found in skin. I'm not sure that you can put fire on keratin and it somehow seals it. Like if you had a cut on your hand you wouldn't go then put fire on it in order to heal that cut. Your hair is made out of the same compound that your skin is made out of so again not a scientist but that is my opinion. Take it or leave it. I am really coming for them and I'm so sorry. Listen do you live your extra life but I just have to point out some obvious things that I'm seeing. Killpool's vibe I really do. She asked for a shoulder length haircut. It's literally not shoulder length but what do I know? Okay so they're washing her hair. I will do this on my mannequin. Okay okay so now they're deep conditioning their hair so even if the fire haircut did make a difference you wouldn't be able to know if it was the deep conditioner or the fire haircut and I think that's the point because I'm guessing the fire haircut doesn't work and you need to mask it up with a deep conditioner. Alright okay so this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna stop the video here. I'm gonna go and wash the mannequin in deep conditionette and then I will be coming back and following whatever they do next to her hair. Hopefully I don't light my house in flames because I just moved here and I think I'm ready. So we have this mannequin here. Hey girl and I just split her down the middle and you know what we're gonna do today is label one side as fire and the other side we're gonna just label it as R for regular. Let's draw a line in the middle just to make sure we keep track of which side is which. Fire. Regular because you're just a regular old girl. So to do this of course I have a blow torch. These are used as a kitchen accessory for creme brulee so perfect. I have fuel for it. I also have some water just in case things get a little bit due out of hand. She is conditioned and shampooed heavily and you know the regular supplies. Some hair cutting scissors um oh one more hold on one more. Perfect all right let's keep watching the video and see what is next. Kind of excited kind of worried for my safety but also kind of not. All right let's do it. Time for fire. There is a fire extinguisher and a bucket of water next to them just in case her hair goes up in flames. I do actually also have a wet towel just in case. They are so hold up okay I'm gonna do this in a second but first my opinion because I love sharing my opinion today and love it always. The hair is wet. It's soaking wet. I mean I think I get it because when you're twisting it like it's like the little hairs that pop out like the frizz dries because it's like just little tiny pieces and then those are the only thing being burned off. All right let's give it a try. I don't actually know how to use this. Seems awfully dangerous. No idea what I'm doing. Okay so we're going to take this first section here and we're going to burn her hair off. This is exhilarating. Sorry it smells terrible. Her hair looks burnt. I guess I don't know the real technique on how to do this I guess. I think that I'm going to go and get a maybe not this torch. Actually you know what I am going to use this torch. I'm going to learn how to use it. A little intermission. A lot of different things. Such as hair cutting. Perfect. I don't think the right girl to be teaching you right now. All right sorry about that intermission. I think I'm ready now. Okay I got it to work. Let's continue our fire haircut. So I think this piece looks nice. We're trying to get rid of like the fuzziness. I think nobody's really telling me what the goal is but I'll just do a little bit more. I hate this thing. I'm not using this anymore. I'm just going to use a regular lighter. I don't know how to use it and I'm over it. So I'll be right back. This is more my style anyways. All right we got a lighter and let's give it a fire haircut. All right let's start up here. I'm just going to name for these little frizzy bits. Okay I'm not going to lie. This is fun. I mean I feel like most people like playing up fire. So it's kind of like um like obvious. You have to really make sure this hair is wrapped tight or else you're going to burn a lot of hair off here. So it is doing a good job at like getting rid of the dead ends without like burning all her hair off but it's leaving like this the gross like black residue behind. I'm really trying okay so don't come to me if you think I'm not trying. I actually genuinely think this would be cool if it works. So I'm noticing like there's a lot of little black dots everywhere like where it sealed the hair and burned it off. So maybe that'll go away once we blow-dry it but let's work around the head. Do this in sections and burn the hair. It doesn't smell that bad so that's good. Let's worry about that. Um I think it's fun so I'll give them that. I don't know if there's any rhyme or reason to like how they're sectioning out the hair. How much hair they're doing per section but it did it looked to me like they were just going in and lighting the hair on fire. Why don't we just do a little recap here. That makes one of us. Mine looks like it's burning more than theirs. Also like I don't know how he's doing that thing when he goes like this. Like that's not working for me. I'm scared and I'm not even the one getting it done. Stop. Stop. No stop. I'm not doing that. I'm sorry. Maybe I'll try. Okay let me finish this. Sorry I'm busy getting ready for dead ends over here. Please let me be. Can a boy just do his fire haircut in peace once in a while? Honestly do I notice a difference yet? Um no. I'm gonna do that thing they just did but I don't want to use that much fire because like I don't really exactly trust myself so why don't we just run across and just try and get rid of like I don't know just the excess um frizziness going on here. I feel like it looks smooth to me like oddly smooth and like there's no flyaways so kind of getting into this. Like is this gonna work or is this just gonna flop? Okay I think that's sufficient enough. It looks good. I think it looks nice. I don't know. Let's see what happens with theirs. They did a deep finishing treatment. Oh my gosh I feel so soft. Remember when she wanted her hair down to up to her shoulders? Yo am I the only one who can see those fiery split ends? Like it looks like her hair was burnt. I'm sorry but I can see it even in this close-up they're showing. Okay I I you guys know how I feel about that but I I don't want to end it there. I think we can go one step further and give her a real hair cut with fire and then we'll blow dry both sides and see what the deal is but I want to actually cut her hair with fire. So we have this one. This video is called California Hairstyles Sets Client's Hair on Fire to Get Resplendent and this is my inside edition. So oh my no no no no no I don't know if I can do this. This is scary. Yo if this was actual science everybody would be doing it. If we could bond keratin back together with fire everybody would be doing it. Okay so I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna cut the other side with scissors so that's it. I'm gonna blow dry this real quick and then we're gonna do it. Okay so the hair is now blow dried on this side and I'm really genuinely giving this a fair chance. I need to see the other side blow dried too at the same time um so we'll do that after this but I do see like just a lot of shorter hair coming off of her long hair. I mean I I feel like it looks a lot worse like concerningly. It's like there's so many little hairs but I don't know we're gonna see what the other side looks like once they're both dry and compare because maybe it already was like that but I don't know. All right let's just get this over with and please don't let me die um or burn my house down. So I saw he in the video he like put a comb in the hair and then just like started burning it wherever he wanted the comb to land. Okay okay all right mine's not going up in flames like his did so clearly he put something oh my god it smells so bad oh my god did I like oh my god please don't let me go. I have a towel down guys so oh my god it smells so bad I don't know if I can do this. No no no no no no no no no no no oh my god the smoke detector's gonna go off. Okay I can't do much more of this this is really gross this is really really gross. I mean do you see what's happening here? I I mean like I don't want to die and I want to burn my house down and this is actually really scary to do not even me being a dramatic like this is honestly just scary and I don't want to set my alarms off my house I don't want to burn everything to the ground and for the sake of a youtube video so that is that clearly it looks disgusting oh it feels so bad it feels so crusty okay yeah we're gonna we're done with the fire for today so last test let me just blow dry both sides the exact same way all I did was just um run the blow dryer over this and very lightly use a flat brush to blow dry that way get very natural dry and not manipulate it too much with a round brush just to really test out what that fire did for her hair let me quickly blow dry the other side the exact same way and let's test out what's the deal here all right let's do it all right so there we have it both sides are blow dried I blow dried them the exact same way I did not put any product in her hair besides the conditioner everything's exactly the same except this side we use fire to cut so let's do it up close inspection both of us let's both do the same time out again this side was the regular side and this side is the um fire side so get there so that is that let's see based on feel I don't feel anything different at all okay something on the ends though I don't know if it was probably because of that last thing I did that had I feel fried to death I'm not really judging that because I want to go I want to really judge on like the kind of split entry when the other salon was doing because that's what I'm more interested because clearly guys please just don't literally chop your hair with fire maybe the split end thing let's let's let's really go in here um and look closer I I don't know if I really see a huge difference but I'm like looking at the surface don't see really any difference I am also not a professional at fire haircuting so it's possible that I didn't do completely correct and the other people did but I see basically the same amount of split ends and flyways but you be the judge that is the close-up you guys saw it so that's a good thing I mean at least it wasn't exactly bad for the hair but I don't think it particularly did anything special fire fryer brad is here I don't know why this hat is crooked but I came to the conclusion that uh first of all I don't know I I never took a class on on fire haircuting but I don't believe there is real experts in it I don't know if you happen to be a fan of fire haircuting that is cool I don't think it does any harm if it's done the way it was done in the first video the second video I think terrible idea I'm gonna be honest my recommendation would be to not do fire haircuts just because I see no benefit and I only see potential hazard potential risk doing that but that's your thing go for it I don't want to say anything rude about it because clearly some people really like it and that's awesome and we're all entitled to our opinion so fire haircuts gonna be a no for me so case closed on that one I will not be doing any more fire haircuts on anybody especially real human beings um but interesting concept and I'm glad I gave it a try today always try new things you know that's what life's about so don't forget to enter my giveaway for glitter body if you guys would like to win one follow x mono follow brah mono nyc on instagram and twitter and thank you guys so much for watching today don't forget to live your extra life and I will see you all next time peace
