 Hi beautiful, welcome to Hairdresser Reacts. You look incredible today. Thank you for being here, thank you for joining me. And if you're new to Hairdresser Reacts, well hello, welcome. I have not introduced myself in a long time. I'm Brian Mondo, this is my channel, welcome. Subscribe for sure if you haven't subscribed already. This is Hairdresser Reacts, where I am a licensed hairdresser who has a lot of experience in the industry. I'm here to give you my opinion and my input on what happens to the girls I watch in these videos. Most of these girls completely ruin their hair. Some of them do very well, but nonetheless it's quite entertaining. So welcome to Hairdresser Reacts if this is your first time here. So today we're watching videos that are in some way, shape or form addressed to me. These girls either took advice from my videos, did their own thing and said sorry, Brad Mondo and their titles or whatever. All of the titles have my name in it. I'm interested to see if they learned anything from watching my videos or they didn't learn anything at all and they wrecked their hair. We shall see today. But with that all said, let's do some reacting, shall we? Let's get it started. Wearing two pairs of pants. Our first video is by Tia Tidwell. And this video is addressed to me. What in the bleach fail well? Hi Brad Mondo. Well, this sounds like fun. I mean, we're doing bleach. We have a fail and something's gonna go damn wrong and I think she wants me to see it. I'm watching it now, okay Tia? I'm finally going to bleach my hair. I did end up doing the worst bath, literally maybe 30 minutes to an hour. Oh, perfect. And this is what my hair looks like when it's wet. It's already looking rough. I'm going to go ahead and blow dry this so that way my hair is nice and dry for the whole bleaching process. Okay, good, good, we like that. My hair is fully coated in coconut oil right now because you're not supposed to bleach your hair on fresh, clean hair. But it's fresh and clean. Let's walk through all of the products that I bought today and then we'll get into the whole bleaching thing. What are we using? Bright, white, iron, color brilliance, cream. Yes, we love that. Cream lightener. Love cream lightener. Up to eight levels. I honestly love this cream bleach. Yes. All of my favorite, I can't stand powder bleach and they just, yeah, they're kind of gross. Disgusting. Another 30 volume. Yes, boom. And then I got a 20 volume. Yes, boom. She's killing it so far. The color that I got is the bright white cream toner and platinum. Yes, boom. She's killing it. Things about it, I've never tried it before. And she's actually using a toner. She's not using T18, which is a permanent color. This is going so well so far. Yes, Tia, I love you. And the last little thing that I picked up was a new white tooth comb discones. I also got a professional hair coloring foil packet of 100 because... What is she using that for though? I wonder. She's doing highlights. What are we doing? I'm just gonna do that because this is C use salon. I need to stop dancing. And then I got two packets of gloves. Yeah, Tia is so prepared for this color. This is going to be so good. I am so ready. However, I think I should still expect the worst outcome possible because, you know, you just never know. And also this is addressed to me. Probably a fail, you know? So we're definitely starting off with a strange color palette, right? Her ends are light. Her roots are dark. She has spotting going on all the top of her roots. It's a little bit messy. So in order to balance this out, she's gonna have to do a lot of work. Probably use a different developer on her midsections than her ends. Get in there, get all that dark stuff out first, maybe. You just can't put bleach all over the head all at once in this case because it's gonna end up really light in some areas, really dark in some areas. It's just gonna be all over the place. So Tia, fingers crossed that you don't just put it all over your head all at once. Please don't do that. But I went ahead and mixed my bleach and my color brilliance, whatever, step one thing. It should be like cake batter consistency like that. Where are we starting, girl? That's a... Oh, we're taking small sections, yes! Think my first foil. Okay, what are we doing with the foil? Do my roots. I'm gonna stop a little bit before my roots and do my roots last. Yes, Tia, this is a great idea. Why is that a great idea? The roots process the fastest because you have heat from your damn scalp. Ugh. Definitely. Tia, you were so on track until right now, stop it. She is going over the ends. Ugh. Those ends are already so light. You don't wanna lighten them anymore yet. You wanna get that dark patchiness in the mids of your hair out before you then hit the ends with lightener. We wanna get our palette even, right? Come on. I think we're putting 30 volume over those already lightened ends. That should be a disaster made in heaven. We each, um, this shi- It burns? Is that all the product you're putting on? Girl, put more product on your hair. Okay, also, when we do foils in salon, we are taking paper thin sections typically. Or if we're not taking paper thin sections, we're really putting a ton of lightener on that hair, just mushing it in, making sure it's on every hair strand. Here, we're not doing such a thing. We look like we are not getting all of the hair strands, so we are gonna get a lot of spotting, and I can't wait. Just kidding, I can wait. I can wait for that. I don't want that to happen. I was going to just do the mid shaft of my hair and then do my roots and my ends last. And technically, I've already had blonde ends. Yes! I changed my mind. Ugh. Why did you change your mind? She knows what she's doing. I don't know what's going on here. Oh, shi- Oh, shi- I did freaking saw this. It's like she has the right ideas for these things, but isn't executing it correctly. What a damn surprise. You had the right idea with going on the mids first, but you didn't end up doing it. Now we're taking the foils out and we're now going on the roots after. However, this root you have is a little too long. The heat from your scalp only really hits like about an inch of your hair. So anything below that is going to not process as light as the other parts of your root. And typically when we do this whole like roots after situation, we are doing like paper thin foils. Then we just go in between the foils. We don't actually take the foils out. That way those ends are getting the heat from the foil and the roots are getting the heat from the scalp and that way it all processes the same. At least she's getting the back of her head quite nicely. This might not be like terrible after the toner, I feel like, could be kind of cute. Watch me still have hot roots, watch me. You can have roots that are lighter, but hot roots really refer to when you're doing like a darker color and the roots process lighter because the heat from the scalp and you end up with like a red or orange root and like dark ends. That's more of like a hot root situation. This is more just like your roots are processing lighter than the rest of your hair situation and which that is most definitely going to happen to you. I have another back piece. Don't try this at home. Her ends look pretty decent. So I would not recommend doing this by yourself. Nope. You can see I've ripped a glove. Don't know how I ripped a glove and it's messy and I couldn't see in the back, but I think, I think I got it like. Oh! Okay, we're on to something here. I mean, I definitely see a lot of reds, a lot of oranges, a lot of blondes, a lot of stuff going on in one head. I don't know, maybe she'll pull it off somehow. I don't have much hope. These parts have already like started to like. Oh! Okay, her roots are white. White. My hair, which I know I saturated my hair like. The bleach didn't take. Oh, I've been through three bleached batches and like I know I saturated my hair. I'd have to say you didn't saturate your hair enough. I probably would have gone through like six or seven bowls of bleach to do your hair. Yeah, maybe more than that. And if you did saturate your hair enough, it wouldn't be moving like that, all right? It should be creamy on your hair. It should be like thick. I can still see through that lighter on your head to your real hair. So we didn't put enough on actually. More is more in the situation, okay? Okay guys, I'm back in my bathroom. Oh! No! My hair does not feel damaged at all. Like it feels so. Oh, it looks a little damaged girl. I'm not stressing though, honestly. Well, you should start now. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, do not hit those roots ever again. Do not do it. Those of you that know me in real life know that my hair is a lot curlier than this and a lot bigger than what it is. And it's fully dry. Like the bottom is still kind of damp. Oh, shoot. It's like 95% dry. And it's like, oh, shoot. And currently I had to scrunch it to give it to this, honestly. Your hair is wrecked, man. Once I rinsed out the second batch of bleach, I used purple shampoo. Oh, good old purple shampoo. Everybody thinks it's gonna cure all their symptoms. We're on to our next video, where she continues to lighten her hair and she used T18 overnight, deep gray, and now we're here, I guess. I might do the bright white platinum lace and see if that helps my case at all. And then after that, we're twisting in the wind. If I don't like my blonde after all of this, I already told, say that I was probably just gonna end up dyeing my hair like a light brown. Take the coloring products away from Tia immediately. Somebody who's close to her, please take it away. It looks really good at the root, at least. This is all of the hair that I cut off, by the way. I don't want to throw it away, but I'm just really into it. I don't want to get rid of it. Holy, she really cut all that off? Okay. Oh, it actually looks a lot better with the ends cut off. Okay, so now we're toning. And the lady at Sally's clip, the one thing that I was really nervous about was my hair being gray. Like, I don't want it to be gray because I know what the freaking, well, a T-18 craft does is it makes your hair extremely gray. I don't want it to be gray. So what happens with T-18, I mean, it's permanent color and it sometimes just overtones hair, right? Sometimes there's no real helping your hair not turn gray unless you're really experienced with this, you know, the upside about that is if it does turn gray, it's usually just a cast of gray over your hair. And once you shampoo it once or twice, it usually goes away and turns more white than gray. So I wouldn't worry too much about that because that is easily removable. I'd rather my hair be gray than orange. So she told me to put it on the ends and stuff of my hair but I'm going to get my roots since my roots are really, really light. Nice, that's a good idea. So we're working around the head. We're putting that T-18 on. She's hoping for the absolute best. I'm here expecting the worst because T-18 doesn't work on hair that is orange, man. It is a level 12 toner and it's not going to do anything. I'm thinking it's going to turn her roots gray and her ends are going to stay orange. We've seen this time and time again yet people still swear by T-18. Oh, she's so over it and so am I. This is the color that the well-load toned my hair to. My roots are the blonde that I want. The rest of my hair is not the blonde, not the blonde. So here's my theory. Oh, here we go, Tia. What, baby, give it to me. I got the Argan Oil Hair Color Intense Color and Shine Superior Conditioning. 100% gray coverage, permanent color, cream. I don't want to bleach my hair again because I don't want to risk messing up my curls beginning, but as you can see, like, they're back. They're not conditioned because I've had a pine nut on my head all week, but they're back. But my theory is to get this color and use a 30 volume and hopefully it, like, lightly lifts the yellowish blonde out of my hair. Color doesn't lift color. Technically, that's against the rules. You don't put color on top of color to make it lighter. You only make it darker or you tone it. That rule is sometimes broken by hairstylists and sometimes you can do it. This isn't one of those cases. You need to use bleach. You're not really, in my eyes, saving your hair by not using bleach again. You could use bleach with, say, 20 volume and your hair will be fine. It can take a little bit more lightening because your ends need that extra boost in order to get that orange out. But here now you're using 30 volume with color, which is still pretty damaging to your hair. It's also high lift color, so it has a ton of ammonia. It's gonna really lift your hair cuticle, open it really wide, and cause a lot of damage. So I don't think that was your best idea. You should just use bleach again. So my theory didn't work. I don't know how this is going to. My hair is still like this weird, not brassy. Because color doesn't lift color. But as I said before, starting this, this is the only thing that I can control. And what I controlled was a hot ass mess. Never, ever, ever, ever doing this to my hair again. Okay, so your hair actually is savable right now. What I recommend is you go to a hair salon. But also, if you're not gonna do that, use a level six or seven toner on your roots. Bring that color down a little bit. Then tone the ends with a level eight ash. That will knock out a lot of that orange and still leave your hair blonde, but not overly blonde, which will give you a nice, beautiful, natural blonde color. It won't be platinum. It won't be roots to ends light, but it will still give you that feeling of having really light hair. And it'll just look a lot cleaner. Just go to a salon and ask for like a root drop toner. And they should help you out. And they'll fix your hair. But that was a lot. Holy s***, Pia, you went there. And I feel for you. And never do that again. End scene. All right, let's watch one more video addressed to me. This is called, I've watched every Brad Mondo video ready to bleach my hair. Okay, cool. And this is by HairminiardTV. So basically I skipped the intro. What she did was she went to Sally's with her friend and she's showing us what she got from Sally's and she's about to bleach her hair. Powder lightener. Okay, cool. I don't know. Gloves, mixing bowl. Perfect. Perfect. I'm gonna do some cool like damage repair. Perfect. After. I think it's like oiliness. Like you leave in your hair for a while. Oiliness. I don't want to be fat. I'm using Wella T27 toner. 30 volume developer. They also got conditioner and shampoo because apparently like the whole color real thing, purple pants is out yellow or something along those lines. You got it. So that you don't have grassy and yellow in your hair. So what I'm gonna do since I have fairly short hair is I'm gonna try my best to leave the back until the end. So she's working with a great pal here. Her hair is short. She has thick hair. This should be very simple. She's set up to do very well here. There's not a lot of ways that she can ruin her hair. However, we have seen time and time again. Even if there's very little ways of ruining your hair, these girls always find a way of doing it. Technique, okay. You know what, I'm not gonna use the brush because the hands are much better. So far actually so good, even though she's ditching the brush, but I understand because it's really hard to use on your own head. She is not lightening her roots first because they process faster and she's working on the mid sections and ends first. That is great. And she's definitely not applying enough lightener. Way more than that. Come on, girl. Okay, forget sectioning. Forget the brush, forget the sectioning. Go for it at this point, I guess. Okay, it's starting to lighten. We're putting it in like shampoo because bleach apparently lathers, which I didn't know that. Stop combing the lightener through your hair. It's not good for your hair. Your hair is in a fragile state. Stop combing it. It looks even though. This could be very good. Hold on. You just snuck that in there, didn't you? She just used one of my tricks that I mentioned I think in one video a while ago, which was when I put, you know, plastic caps over clients over my hair, when I was platinum, I would spray water in it. That way your body heat will basically create steam in the bag because the bag is wet and your heat is coming out of your head and it makes a steamy concoction. That way the lightener doesn't dry out as it's processing and you get that steam going on in the bag to make it process faster. This is good. This is really good. Apparently you can like steam it if you go from like, far or wet and I just poured in some water in here. Yes! Okay, let's see if we're going to water it. I've heard that it looks a lot lighter than it is before you rinse the bleach out. She took notes while watching hairdresser reacts. Besides not applying enough lightener, you need to have it caked on there. That seems to be the thing that people always get wrong. Even if they get everything else right, they don't reply enough lightener. You can tell it didn't process enough. Ooh, it doesn't look that good. It doesn't look that good. She knows she did something wrong. She did something bad. Looked like tomatoes and pancakes and the sunshine all had a demon-possessed child. Yeah, we don't like that, so we're gonna wait this out. So she's bleaching it again. That's what's happening, which is good because she needed it. I just looked up the check and it's not looking half bad, mother-s***. I'm not gonna lie. I was worried when I took the post layer out because oh my gosh. So what I ended up doing was I put it on back here first in those couple spots that I didn't do before I put bleach in and I let that sit for like two seconds and then I did the rest of my head again. You should have let it sit longer than two seconds, but whatever, I'll take it, I'll take it. I just wanna get it fixed. It's still got quite a bit of yellow in it, but that's also what the toner is for. After I wash it, I'll show you that before I put on the toner and then we'll see what that looks like. It was then that I questioned. Oh! What have I done? Kinda looks cool actually. It's like kinda bad s*** with that style she has going on. The beautiful toner that I am hoping is gonna fix this. Probably not, since your hair is a level eight right now and that's a level 12 toner, so it actually doesn't look that bad. I like it a little bit. I washed it with the purple shampoo, nothing. With the purple conditioner in however, I'm gonna leave this in for as long as I can. Tone the s*** out of your hair please. The only thing that's making me feel better at this point. It doesn't look that bad. It could be so much worse. The brown hair, it's gone now. It's okay. I think I just need to get used to this. I think I can lift this though. I think it's not... Okay, change my mind. But I think we're getting there. Anyways, this is the hair dried. It doesn't look bad. So I'm gonna go get my hair fixed right now. Oh, she's getting it fixed. Okay, cool. Oh, they're giving her a root. You best believe that's what happened. Oh! Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Woman! I love it. I do too. It's amazing. Oh my... I moved in two weeks, my opinion changed. All right, so here's the deal. What? Do you mean your opinion changed? How it looks on me, it's just too loud. And I look back at pictures and I miss my brown hair. I try. Now I know it. It's like now I know how I feel about it. So the reason I waited this long to change it was because this was coming in the middle. I have another bottle of overtone over there right now that is a little bit of leftover of daily conditioner extreme red. And I can tell y'all right now that was a real bad idea. And I've always kind of wanted some red in my hair. So what I'm gonna aim to do now is mix a little bit of extreme red with... You just went to a salon to fix your hair. And it looks so good. I'm gonna go back to my beloved dark brown hair. We've seen enough. Let's just fast forward and see what ended up happening what she ended up with. This red brown concoction she made up that I'm so not looking forward to. Oh God. Ugh. It's bright. I told y'all it was a bad idea. And then I sat in the sun. No. Because it was like a brownish red. I can't do anymore. I can't take any more. But it turned orange red. These videos have been too much for me today. I watched it again and it just kept going like further and further to like carrot orange. Stop talking. I don't want to hear it anymore. Ugh. These are the worst videos I've ever seen in my life. I've heard enough. God damn it. Oh my Jesus. Her hair looked so good with the roots and the blonde. And then ended up copper and spidey. That hurt me deep down. That really affected me. I'm done man. I'm done cut and seam. We're done here. All right you guys. I am fully over it. Those two videos were so tragic and they were also addressed to me. So thank you guys for at least entertaining us. But also I'm gonna need you to pay me for damages you've done to my mental health. I can't say any good things with either of them. They both had a good understanding of how it's supposed to be done and how to do it well. But neither of them did it well. Because you know why? It's a very difficult thing to bleach your hair yourself. That is why hair stylists exist. Make sure you guys follow me on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok at bramundomyc. Shop my hair care line below at expondohair.com and also follow expondohair for new product launches coming up next week. And that is all for today. Thank you guys so much for watching.
