 Hi, beautiful. If there's one thing people love to do at home, it is a cap highlight. Cap highlights are dangerous. They're spooky, they're scary, and there's often very, very tragic outcomes when you try to cap highlight your own hair. Even when a hairdresser does it, it's also not a good idea. Let's see if some of these people end up with spots of bleach all around their roots or they end up with some beautiful blended highlights. What happens when you start hair dying at 10 p.m.? No! Don't start coloring your hair at 10 p.m., except I literally can't say that because I bleached my hair at 11 p.m. last night. I mean, at least it looks good, right? I'm actually in full support of this, except kind of not because at least I know what I'm doing with my hair. And you guys, something you definitely know. I just want to be blonde. I'm so worried. The thing with a cap is like you're pulling out a bunch of hairs out of kind of random spots on your head so you don't exactly know where those highlights are gonna land when it's all rinsed out. It gets a little sketchy very quickly. And I don't like that. Also, they did a decent job at not overlapping the lightener onto the rest of her already lightened hair, I think. Let me see again. Yeah, I mean, she left the ends out. I'll take it. She's leaving the ends out. They're already lightened. We don't need to lighten them again, except I do not like the way that they've clumped all the hair on top of her head because now all of your already lightened, blonde hair is just gonna sit and bleach the entire time. And we don't want that. We don't want breakage. Sophie, why are you laughing when you made me wash it out early? It's school bus yellow. Sophie, what the hell? It wasn't ready. It's orange. I think that they're now toning it. I'm not really sure what's going on and I don't think they know either. This is my favorite part though. The only thing that I love about cap highlights is when you pull off the cap and seeing all that lightness just explode in front of your eyes. It's just so satisfying. In the front with some more highlights, we're doing foils. And honestly, the foils look pretty good. We're doing a whole a** money piece. A big chunk of Rooney. Complete. What? I don't know, there's something going on where y'all are always doing things that are just completely wrong and coming out with a good look. I just don't particularly understand why that is happening. But you somehow killed that. That looks awesome. Like what? Sleaching my own hair at home. Let's go. You always know we're starting off strong when we start mixing some lightener and a plastic. I was gonna say bowl, but it's like a square bowl. I don't know. So I'm looking at her hair so far. I'm evaluating how she pulled out all those pieces. I don't know. It looks really random to me. But if we zoom in where she pulled those hairs out, there seems to be like a big spot where the hair was not pulled out. So if you don't know how Frost and Cap works, you put this thing on your head and it has a bunch of little holes in it. And then you get a crochet hook and you basically crochet the hair through the holes. But when you do highlights, you really want to put them in the places you part your hair or if you pull your hair back, you want it on the hairlines. You know, you want to place things so that it looks good. The reason why we don't do them in the professional world, some people do, but most people don't, is because you just don't know what the outcome is gonna be. It's very unpredictable and very sketchy. Using the stick, I'll mix it together. We need an even cuz it's dizzy. This is like how I would bleach a Barbie's hair when I was a kid. Like with a little stick spatula and a random plastic bowl. This for a real head of human hair just seems a little bit too elementary looking. The way you just mixed all that bleach and lightener and I don't know. Let's grab some of this. So she grabs it with all of her hand and then she just starts putting it on the top of her head. Don't do that. First of all, I saw as it clump a bleach fall onto your ends and your ends are already very light. You don't want to overlap on the light pieces. Not a good idea. And then also, we want to start in the bottom and work our way up because if you start laying all the bleach like this on top of the highlights, all the highlights underneath are not gonna get touched and you're gonna have a lot of lightness on the top and it's gonna get orange on the bottom. You still got a section when you're doing a cap highlight, you know? We can't leave that in the past. Oh my God. Be happy when she sees you. Mom just came and she put lightener through the entire ends of her hair. There is gonna be some breakage. All that overlapping. Oh no. It's time to take this out. My favorite part. Oh my God. It is properly stuck in there. I'll try to get this off in the shower and show you the result altered. This is horrifying. She is pulling her hair out of this cap, stretching out that hair while there is lightener, while it has just been over-processed, putting tension on your hair at this point is going to be detrimental. It's going to break off. Like there is gonna be breakage. I don't know how her hair is not just falling off into this cap right now. I'm actually shocked. Oh my God. That does not look right. Don't think you're ready to see what's underneath here. Before I show you the result, I'm gonna brush it through and from the side it actually look quite nice. But from the top, I don't know what to say. Let's just show you in three, two, one. Can you see this? Can I see it? Sorry, I mean, can I see it? There's literally cheetah spots on your head and this is also what happens with a cap highlight. The bleach seeps through the cap and gets onto the scalp. This is really bad. This is the worst case scenario. The ends do look quite blonde but what is going on with the roots? Also, there's one highlight here, there's one highlight here and then there's two back here that are really far down on her hair. I'm just very thrown off on what the plan was. Was there a plan? What happened? I look like a leopard. How is she so happy? She's so happy. This went totally wrong. I honestly don't know what went wrong but if you have any tips on what I can do to cover this up, please let me know. I mean, luckily this is easily fixable. Depending on what color line you use, you just need to use like a level seven or a level six on your root. Demi permanent color, do a little root shadow and this will all come together and look very nice but where you went wrong was when you picked up that lightener and just plopped on your head. It just seeped through the holes in the cap. You need to use very little lightener and paint directly on the highlights instead of on the holes in the cap. All right, we're starting off with some wine and a cap highlight. We're doing that. Something that is even worse than doing a cap highlight in general is doing a cap highlight while intoxicated. Those two just, it's just not a good idea. But her friend's going in there. She looks happy. She looks positive. She looks ready. She's going to work on her friend's hair and let's see if the work pays off. She's like, I can do this, bitch. I can fucking do this. Like, look how she's cheesing at the camera. She's got her friend. They're staying in tonight. They're doing a little hair. I mean, that is gonna be some bright blonde hair. They took out a lot of hair out of that cap and it is, all right, okay. So this is the part where everybody says I'm so sorry, Brad Mondo, but I'm not gonna say that. And you know what? Because I look like a tiger and I'm saying, help me, Brad Mondo, come fix this. Oh, I wish I could help you. Sketch was a little full this week. Please don't make me. You definitely didn't process those highlights long enough. They are orange. They are very orange. It goes from orange stripes to saturated blonde on your ends and it's not exactly what I was thinking for you. And also, not to make you feel any worse, but fixing this is going to be a task. You can't just pick up all the highlights you under-processed. You kind of need a low light and highlight and also watch out for the over-processed pieces to fix this all, to make it all come together. So it's a big corrective process and this is the risk you take when doing your hair at home and having to pay a lot of money for a professional to fix it. So, you know, do it or you could just go darker. That's always an option. Make sure you do a filler before you do the dark color so your hair doesn't turn green. But I good luck with that. Whoever fast-fix that good luck to you also is not going to be me. No. Don't pull your hair like that. Why do people keep pulling your hair so hard? But the rest of your hair, I need to know the end of the story. Oh my God. Oh, and it also says I think I apologize to Rob Mondo for the following video. Thank you because you just gave me a fucking heart attack. What? You were literally pulling out full strands of hair. 10 inch long strands. That means your hair literally broke off at the root from that cap that was not still on your head. Are you okay? If you're watching, please comment below telling us you're okay because I am concerned. That was scary and you looked scared as well. This video is making me really hate cap highlights even more. Don't even try it guys, don't. Don't get any ideas, any of you. Oh, I think there's a part two. Okay, what the fuck? How did her hair come out that good? I feel like I'm telling you guys not to do something because it's just gonna look terrible and then all of a sudden like everybody's results are like good. Well now I don't know what to say to anybody because you know, I'm saying one thing and then you're seeing a whole other thing. Like I'm saying don't do it. And they're like look, it actually comes out good. I don't know, I just don't. She got lucky, what? And that my friends is the reality of a cap highlight and what happens when it goes wrong? That is what it looks like when you section out your hair after doing a cap highlight. Like there are highlights in the most random places. Some are over-processed, some are under-processed. There's little ones, there's thick ones. Things are going on everywhere and look, she had to go to the salon to get a fix. Luckily, somebody slayed her and they made it all look better. Oh my God, what the hell? There was cheetah prints on her head too. There should be a straight up like warning video to like never do a cap highlight. Look at the cheetah prints on her head. I mean, it's kind of a vibe in a way, you know what I mean? But like, I don't think it's a great idea. God, it was scary. She paid another salon to have this done. They cap highlighted her hair and left dots everywhere. It was a mess and nothing like her inspo photo, but it's okay, I fixed it. I foiled all her ends to make it all over blonde and gave her a root smudge to get rid of any lines and dots. She was extremely happy with the results and she got her dream hair. Oh my God, another one. That is what could happen to you too. Do you see the spots? I need to see that again. She paid another salon to have this done. Oh my God, she, wait, sorry. I just realized she said she paid a salon to do this. I'm sorry to do whatever a salon that is, but y'all should not be in business anymore. I think that you should honestly just stop. Don't do hair. If anybody out there is working at a salon and you're doing a cap highlight, I just don't know if this is the right job for you because anybody who knows anything about hair is gonna say that's a horrible idea. You can't convince me otherwise. Look at that. She got that done at a salon and it came out like this. What makes you think you can do that at home and have it come out any better than this professional did this? At least she got her shit fixed and it looks way about better. That's a slag. She couldn't even get her hair out of the thing. And the reason why this keeps happening to people in this video is because they put the lighter on and they go like this. Tell me what happens when you take your fingers and you go like this to your hair. It knots it. If you put knots on your head and you try to then pull it through a cap, what do you think is gonna happen? You're not gonna be able to get the cap off. You gotta be nice with it. You gotta be clean with it, guys. I hope she got her hair out of that cap. That's all I have to say. I hope the hair survives. My favorite part of a cap highlight is though is like feeling like little red riding hood and just having a little bonnet on. Like, look how cute he looks. Like a little bonnet, just. I have a feeling we're gonna get some Justin Timberlake circa 2000, I don't know, early 2000 frosted cap moment and I can't wait for it. This is like friend abuse right now. Like, I don't know who's forcing to be there at gunpoint but somebody is. I wanna see the other view from behind the camera because I'm scared for his life at all. He has finer hair. So, you know, the amount of hair that they pulled out was enough to make it look like the entire thing was colored blonde so it's like, I don't know. He kind of looks like the girl in the box. I meant that in the best way possible, by the way. You're slang just like she is. I feel tortured. Another thing to not do is to try to cap highlight extremely dark black hair because you need foils to make the highlights light enough that they aren't orange or red, you know. You can't do it with open air. So, she put the cap on, she pulled the hair through. She highlighted that dark black hair and this is what happened. She got orange stripes all through her head. Oh no, the results are so scary and she's got that like half inch root still because you just can't get that close to the cap highlight. Hey, please put brown over all this. We can save this just brown. This is really scary looking though. I don't like the way this looks and I don't think you do either since you're just covering your eyes. I mean, both agree on that. That it looks sketchy. Well, I hope you learned a million and one reasons why to not cap highlight your hair yourself at home or even at a hair salon. Don't do it. Just never a good idea. There's many other ways to do it that are much better, you know, like foils and balayage and all kinds of things.
