 This is so hard to watch. I wanna jump to the screen and help her so bad. It's not working. Hi beautiful, how are you? So, shout out to Becky, one of my accountants. She got me this and like, put it down. Like, are you kidding me? How cool. Today, I've been sent a video this week, thousands and thousands of times. Brrr. Safiya Nigard did a thing this week. Apparently, she cut her own hair following a at home hair cutting tutorial And why, girl? Why? Why are we doing that? Once upon a time, I did a little collab-y lab, whatever you want to call it, with Sophia, and I did her hair color and her hair cut. And that was many a months ago, her and Tyler came to New York and we did her hair. And it was really fun. And I was very nervous because here I am, little old Brad just doing some hair for, you know, just a casual 10 million people to see. Cough, cough, cough, scary. If you don't already know. It was fun, it was a lot. It was a lot of people watch Sophia's videos. So I did it, it turned out great. It was a blast. And now, obviously, Sophia's hair is a lot longer than it was before. So she took it into her own hands and followed a tutorial to cut her own hair. And I am about to watch that video and tell you guys what I think about the job that she did to her own hair. Hopefully it's good, hopefully it's not bad. Hopefully her hair is still on her head. I don't know why it wouldn't be, but hopefully it still is. Hopefully she didn't shave it. I don't know why she would shave it. Hopefully she didn't though. I'm gonna start watching the video now. Okay. So without further ado, I'm a hairdresser. I make these reaction videos a lot and I'm gonna react to Sophia's video. Let's do it. Tutorials, instructions on how to cut my own hair. And then I'm going to be cutting my own hair. Cutting my own hair. Cutting. Cutting official to it. It's Brad Mondo snipped in for our perfect makeover video. Sophia was a little key shook about that haircut. Sophia, you're watching girl, you were shook. You were like, whoa, it's short. And I was like, it is. But it was good. I think you ended up liking it. Were you lying to me? I don't know. Now I don't pick up the first person to do this. In fact, I know I'm not the first person to do this. My only hope is that I don't end up in a hairdresser react this video. That is a disaster. Never. So we've transformed into a rude, sweet way. So good. It's a hairdresser react. So after looking for quite a bit of beauty to cut your own hair. There seem to be like two general categories of self haircut tutorial. Long bobs, short bobs. It's up to you, Bob. As I mentioned before, I'm looking to take out a little length. So I'm heading towards the long bob path, which actually isn't a super different length than from when Brad cut my hair. Though his style was more layered and he also liked to do my hair a bit. Which I think worked well and looked good for like spring and summer. But now that it's November, I'm looking for something more severe. Blunt and... She's going dark again. No, it's over yet. I'll make her hair lighter. It's cute like, Sophia Blonde. Like, would that be crazy? Yeah, it'd be crazy. Though I will be dyeing the leftovers of my hair back to my natural color or perhaps even a bit darker. Darker? Recently, put your hair into two pigtails with rubber bands and then use the rubber bands to measure where you should cut and then chuck. That seems to be the general advice from everyone, cut along with the rubber band. Listen, hairdressers use the same technique. If you're cutting up major lengths of hair, you can always put an elastic in and cut it. Just you have to make sure every single piece is perfectly straight. If you're cutting on dry hair and comb it very nicely to the front. It seems like some videos employ like a unicorn horn method, while others opt to like talk. The unicorn horn method she's referring to is how you give yourself a lot of layering in your hair. So if you're over directing the hair upwards, you're pulling all your hair up and cutting at the same length, which ends up when it falls down, giving you all different lengths. Think about it. It might make sense to some people. It might not, but that's how it works. It's actually don't think my hair is fully long enough to pull it off down here so we're going with pigtails. We're going with the pigtails, guys. Whip out the scissors. Oh, there actually are a fair amount of hair. We're combing. That's always a good sign. And instead of two, just ginger my part. Always a little bit uneven. Is that a line? I see a part. But is it straight? It's pretty good. It's pretty good. And then the third step is to divide my hair into two even sections. Now here's a close-up of my dry ends. Beautiful. You see that bead of a cut. Do I actually look like that? Kind of, honestly. A little bit, yeah. All right, now the next second tail. So if you have pretty healthy hair. This is the intermediary rubber band. And then do the same thing. She's doing a good job of putting it away. Ooh, how's that? I'm glad that she decided not to part her hair in the center and then put the pigtails in because cutting on her part is going to give her way more even end result if she's parting that way all the time. I'm literally learning something right now. This is very interesting to me. We are not taught this in hair school how to cut like this. This is the important one. That's pretty short. The other one was just a throw away. Listen. Is like a quarter length or maybe a little chop. I should give a little bit of, just because like when I'm going to be evening it out and fixing it, I can only go shorter. That's always a good idea, you guys. If you're going to cut your hair, go longer, not shorter because you can always take length off. You cannot replace length. I learned that the hard way in hair school when I was cutting people's hair too short and they would be like, what did you do to me? And I'm like, do you want me to pick the hair back up off the floor? Cause I can do that, but it's not going to go back onto your head. Sweetheart. I actually get this. I'm just going to go check in the bathroom. I think that this rubber band over here is slightly lower than this rubber band, but I think the lower rubber bands are at the same height. We hope. I'm scared. She's cutting like three inches. She's scared. Should I be scared? I mean, I guess it makes sense to be nervous, but I felt like we were just going along so well, so confidently, she was telling me what to do and now I'm not so sure. All right, so she just cuts right above the rubber band. Yes. She just starts to see my side. It's so satisfying. I'm going to do this side first because I can see it in this hair here. All right, I just want to make sure my scissors are at an angle. I mean, I guess we would just end up with an angled bob, but that's not how it works. So Tanya, one of those scissors you're using. Ready? Cut away. We could have at least got her scissors. I have to start there. She's cutting a little upward, which worries me a little bit. Yeah, she's got an angle. Ooh, the angle. Look. What is that angle? I saw that angle. That's a lot of hair. She cut a lot off. And it's short. And I love it. I'm done. We all start from somewhere. I'm so excited for her. It's going to look so good. Cut the same amount on both sides. Ready? No, just cut it straight. No. Are you serious? I don't like to go cut towards her face and make her really nervous. Oh my God. Oh, this is a hack job. This is character assassination. You know what? They look pretty similar. I think that if I were to ever do this again, I would need a couple more pigtails because my pigtails are just way too thick for me to hack for. Yeah, she should probably have done like four. Yes. Now it's time to reveal how the actual cut looks. I guess we should see what I'm going to see. And then we'll look at the money. Oh yeah, it's kind of bad. It looks good. Yeah, the length looks good. I can't see the back. I can't see the jaggedness, but like, I like this. How is she going to fix this? How is she going to fix this? I don't know how she's going to fix this. I am going to split my hair once again into like halves and then try and see if I can't cut them even. Comb the hair straight, pinch your hair with your fingers, slide it down till you reach the end and then cut off those jagged ends straight. Having a hard time with my depth perception? That's not doing a lot for me. Like as I let go, it's still really long. So here's the thing, Sophia. Because you over directed your hair forward, you're going to get more length in the back than in the front. See how that works? So you're pulling all the hair forward, cutting it and then letting it back down and all that length that was overdirected to the front ends up in the back of your head. Yeah, and it's kind of sucky. But that's why we usually over direct back so then you have more length in the front. So. All right, just because I don't think that she anticipates. See, I feel like now there's less of that like crazy. That's my like cringe hair dance. So now I'm going to go back to shooting this method of like pinching the hair together and cutting straight across. Stop over directing it forward, Sophia. She's going to keep cutting length up in front and it's going to get shorter and the back's going to keep staying long. How? Stop cutting the front. Stop cutting like the front part of my hair, which is already like the length I want. And then the back part doesn't end up doing anything. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, it's strange. Just want to jump through the screen and help her so bad. It's not working because you're over directing the hair. The other girl's cutting a way longer length which is going to be easier to over direct and get more of an even line. With a bob, it's one of the more complicated haircuts and I do not recommend doing that at home because you know when somebody did an at home bob haircut it's not cute. I'm not sure if there's really much more I can do at this point. I mean, it looks like my actual hair. Okay, it's looking better. She's point cutting. We love that. The back gets back. You know what though? The back's okay. Oh my God, she's a reverse A-line bob now. Oh no, hers is longer in the back too. And I'm chomping and I'm still like pretty impressed by these guys right here. But I think in general, I may need to seek some professional help for myself. But for now we're just going to move on to the top and it'll be harder to see. I mean, you can't really mess this up but let's see what happens. I mean, she's just doing a dark hair color. When your hair is already dark and you're just putting dark over it, it's really not that serious. To be honest, I've just been so ready to dye my hair. All right, here's to hoping that's enough dye in my hair. So I'm going to wait another 20 or so minutes or so. I would have put way more on, but it looks fine. It looks fine, it'll work. And we'll check back in and see how it is. Okay, so this is my hair after it's been washed and dried. And I think that overall the color looks nice. It's nice. Listen, it's nice. I just like Cynthia's hair a little later. I know you guys, I always love her be blonde, but like so it ended up coming out easily fixable. I love the length, the color looks nice. I like it lighter, but the color looks nice. And I'm very proud of Sophia for following that tutorial correctly. However, that tutorial you're following was not a very good one. Unless you want a backwards A-line bob, but if you want an actual A-line bob, which A-line bob looks like this, then you direct the hair back and you let it go forward. That's it for that. And like I told you guys, I'm starting my Instagram shout outs again. So today's Instagram shout out is Gigi. She says, hey Brad, I love your channel. I've already dyed my hair to lighter blonde, but I'm aiming for white. What do you think? I also keep considering cutting it short, but I love my hair too much to just braid it. This is what she looks like. And this is where it looks like when she bleached it from her natural to whatever she has now. And she says, this is the original first bleach. It's definitely not this light anymore. Okay, girl, I love your hair color. I honestly think it looks better now than it did in the picture before. You know, bleach blonde hair tends to fade, but I actually really love this new color on you, the one that just ended up fading. And also the colors oxidize as naturally, so it's not always gonna look as lustful. And gorgeous as it does when you first color it. So, I hope that answered your question. I love your hair now and I would not touch a thing. If you guys wanna be the next Instagram shout out of about a week, DM me on Instagram with a picture of you without a filter and ask me one simple question about your hair you would like answered in the other one of my videos.
