PLEASEEEE SUGGEST ME SOMETHING FOR MY HAIR!!! ANY HAIRCUT ANY HAIR COLOR ANYTHINGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heyy lol i luv ur vids u slay brad
Brad *DO NOT SAY WHO CARES* People with natural hair are removed from educational and employment opportunities and face undue treatment you can't imagine! There's a national case right now of a kid expelled from school for having natural hair. #theCROWNACT
Lol it was fun watching myself on your channel Brad. Thanks for the repost. Feel free to swing by my channel to see what my hair currently looks like one year later. (Btw, i was not heating the neutralizer with the cap, i was deep conditioning). Much love 🩷🩷🩷🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
You look great! Your hair is gorgeous either way, but that smooth finish was amazing! Great job! 🎉
Your hair looks gorgeous.
It turned out so well! It's beautiful! It made me want to see it in a swishy ponytail 😁❤
You're such a beautiful lady ❤❤❤❤❤
I was just telling you about this on your shorts, lol.
I will always love and respect Brad for how he speaks on Black hair. He never claims to be an expert but you can tell he does his due diligence and respects Blackk women and stylist.
This🎯🎯🎯🎯 I like him and his approach to black hair he shows respect and not ignorance
It’s funny he says he not an expert but knows more than some stylist I’ve been to…. we love Brad Mondo!!!
@@alexxs09 agreed! 😂 he graciously says he’s not an expert but truly knows so much about hair in general and clearly well versed in textured hair
Its not that deep
@@MwanamkeMzuri_ agreed 🤣😂

It's giving Coach Car in Sex Ed for me... and same 🤣😂
Female POC here! Thank you for mentioning the relaxer/natural hair discourse in the video. The conversation gets a little more complicated when you see how the chemicals in relaxers are starting to affect black women as well (they’re starting to link certain cancers to relaxers). It’s also worth mentioning that there are only 23 states in the U.S. that have laws preventing hair discrimination, so many employers require “professional” hairstyles in the workplaces (straight hair, no braids, no locs) and you can be fired for not abiding. If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend watching the Good Hair documentary by Chris Rock. A little older but a lot of good perspectives and information included! Thank you for always looking to educate others and yourself! 🫶🏽
Excellent documentary! Should be required viewing.
This was the comment I was looking for about the link to cancer and uterine fibroids. It kinda is that serious. 🤷🏽♀️
It blows my mind that in 2024 there are still companies in the US that try to dictate how a female employee looks beyond "clean and appropriately professional". The problem, of course, is what some people determine to be professional. As a white woman who has unfortunately been plagued with self-esteem issues and the need to be a people pleaser, I have not personally had to deal with this type of discrimination (other than being a woman in the first place). Discrimination of any type makes me so angry.
Loved that documentary! I learned so much!
I cannot wait to see the world in ten years. I know we are moving away from those outdated rules as our aged CEOs retire and let younger CEOs take over and change the rules to be more accepting (like at the most bare minimum level, the bar is in hell: rolling my eyes) of all people regardless of sex or color.
i love how Brad's aesthetic changed. he looks so mature now and professional ♥
It seems like it happened overnight. I don’t mind the clothing changes and stuff but I miss his old voice. ) :
Yeah for real. 😭 First time I've seen a vid where I'm like "oh no he's hot"
I thought the same thing, he is absolutely gorgeous. Those eyes….
I think it was requested by the sponsor.
@@hlynn6243 yes the new voice is so weird. I thought I was the only one who noticed.
As a black man I really appreciate your videos and the way you talk about hair regardless of person. Your videos are always very informative and educational and I just wanted to say thank you
I really appreciate brad taking time to mention that stigma in the black community/natural hair community! And that he just said “black” and not “coloured” 😩👍🏽❤
As a white woman, I have wondered about that. I see so many weaves, or straightened, and I think, ‘doesn’t that look like white hair?’ I can only imagine the emotions that brings up. Even with my wavy hair, I’ve sometimes envied the flat ironed styles, but I also appreciate when our hair can do what n one else’s can do, and that’s what I absolutely love about natural black hair. Black girl hair done right is majestic.
@christinamann3640 the thing is, many black women such as myself were pressured to get relaxers at such an early age (I was 4) because it was the only way our was accepted. This was especially true for me because I had a biracial mom who didn't know how to deal with my extremely thick and coily hair. So the natural hair movement started where we learned to appreciate the hair we were born with which was good, but the issue came when that became the standard and then it was essentially the same problem all over again where your hair is being dictated by others. The point of the natural hair movement was for us to learn more about out hair in general so knowing the risks that comes with relaxers opposed to it just being pushed on you without much say
So well said!
@469ka37 luckily it wasn't as bad for me but my mom didn't know what to do with my hair bc I was the only person with curly hair in my Hispanic family. Always told I looked unkempt and that I needed to brush my hair. It really puts you down when your natural self is denied and seen as 'not good enough'.
he’s American, we don’t use that word here. when we talk about Black ppl we say Black. POC = other non-white groups. using “colored” in America today could even be considered a slur
I swear I can smell the relaxer through the screen and my scalp is tingling 😂
Thank you for praising us black women, per usual! I love all of your videos but every time you do a video on black women’s hair, you look so intrigued, I love it !
A tip from a stylist: Please know that a relaxer is to relax the curl in the hair. It isn’t to get the hair completely straight. If you are going to use thermal tools in the hair, they will help in getting the hair straight as we seen in the video. So it is okay that the product did not get the hair completely straight. But you do want an even application and processing time.
Thanks for this. My sister would put a relaxer in my niece's hair about 2 to 3 times a year. Just to make it more manageable and didn't keep the product on the full time length.
so is it for ALL curly hair types or no?
@@XxDreamlightDemon90xXTechnically yes. But with certain types of white hair it can cause more breakage.
@@XxDreamlightDemon90xX I'm mixed Asian/black/white and some of my hair is kinky and thick, some of it is fine and straight, most of it is medium-thickness and slightly wavy. I wouldn't go near a relaxer because it would probably eat my fine hairs. I think relaxers are for hair where the hair strands are thicker. Most non-African curly hair is on the finer side i think, medium-finer.
@@AccidentallyOnPurpose craaaap lol thanks
I am a black woman who has had relaxers since I was younger and now wear my natural hair. For me, I was constantly told that my natural hair was not school/work appropriate. Not just by white people. I am one of the few whose hair is difficult to relax, even when using super relaxers. So, having spent a lot of money to straighten my hair, then having to put heat on it daily to upkeep it, only for bosses, teachers, even principals to say that it is still not acceptable was extremely painful. I finally got sick of it and chopped it all off. I found the strength to accept my hair as it grew, and stand up to my boss, my professors at college, and the family members whose mindset was stuck in the past. It took a lot of self searching, and a willingness to believe in myself, all while getting negativity from others on a daily basis. If you have never been through something like that, then it is very difficult to understand. A lot of women have it a lot harder than I did. I, thankfully, did not loose my job over it, but I was talked to at my college about what is considered "professional" as someone entering the field of education. Even with all of that I kept my hair natural. So, a lot of women and men, especially those of color, receive constant backlash for wearing their hair the way that God made it, a simple right that every person should have. To them a relaxer isn't just about doing what you want with your hair, it is about being forced to change yourself into what others deem is acceptable, while at the same time denying your right to just be human like everyone else. I know that it shouldn't be a big deal, but it still is. In a lot of places, kids still get expelled from school for not straightening their hair, people loose their jobs because of it. So it can be a sensitive subject. I believe that people should have the right to do what they want with their hair, but even in the USA that is not something that everyone has the privilege to do.
I always thought brad was handsome but the minor changes he has made has made him look like a freakin supermodel! Great content as always man
He sounds weird, tho...
I was thinking he looks extra handsome. 🙌
@@Blue_Star_ChildOh wow who knew your voice changes as you grow 🤯
He is 😅😅😅
Thanks to Brad for saying we(black women) need to get more credit for slaying our hair. Bc we def don't get enought credit and praise
Boo hoo seems u people always need reassurance
@@kanwer7002You finally got that off your chest. Do you feel better?
Idk. I think its kind of by necessity
@@kanwer7002 hater💁🏾♀️
@kanwer7002 your mummy didn't say I love you enough... we can tell
The stigma around relaxing is real, but also the chemicals are really dangerous. Even Brad expresses concern by saying it reminds him of acid. I do agree that it is your life and your hair so do whatever your heart desires! There’s a lawsuit going around right now saying relaxers have been related to causing uterine cancers. . . Do your own research on that one though.
im trying to get a settlement now. i had a hysterectomy last july
I'm so sorry 😢@@newworldlord643
He’s right. And I definitely had stylists slick that shit to my head HELLO scalp scabs 🤦🏽♀️ 😭
Except there are parents who use them on their children and the kids have no say about it. A former coworker told me she got her first relaxer at age 2 which I had never heard of. That’s crazy and child abuse IMO.
@@anndeecosita3586I agree. That IS child abuse. Relaxers should have a surgeon general warning and legal age just like cigarettes, since they both contain lethal substances that cause life threatening diseases.
Brad's set-up and outfit makes me think I died and ended up in a high-end dentist office in heaven
I see it now too. thank you for the image
😅
The first lady with the very long hair looked STUNNING with straight hair, it looked beautiful when she took it down and was still curly but when it was straight she looked like a different woman. Absolutely gorgeous, ALL 3, their hair is so beautiful.
I wasn't sure if she used neutralizing shampoo though..but her hair surprisingly came out very nice!
@@traceylennon1204of course she did .. if not her hair would’ve broken off visibly noticeable. You can’t just skip neutralizing shampoo…
„People act like coconut oil is bullet proof“ - Brad Mondo The Truth Teller
Every wash day I debate on going back to the creamy crack lol. There is just something about a fresh relaxer but alas I refrain. These ladies did a great job!
Man!! When it takes over 2 hours to detangle, wash,and condition I can't help but remember how I could do all this plus blow dry and flat iron/curl in that same amount of time 😂😂😂😂
I just turn wash days into a vibe. I get into it, enjoy the hot shower, put on some podcasts while I detangle and condition. At the end of it, I get amazingly beautiful coils. My relaxed hair could never.
@@vote4melsame, I blast music while just peacefully doing my hair lmao
I've been watching you for years. And You've really educated yourself on natural hair and I LOVE how you appreciate the beauty of black hair. We love you Brad!!
I COMPLETELY AGREE!! Black woman can do some hair!! They put so much work into their hair...and it seems to ALWAYS pay off!! Its almost like they all have stylest or beautician genes or something!! I COMMEND YOU ALL!! Whether its doing your natural hair (in SO many different ways), or wigs (making them look ABSOLUTELY REAL), the braids...ANY of it!! Seriously, BRAVO ladies!!!! You deserve tons of credit for the work you do!!!! 💜😊💜
It's interesting to see how they are all so happy in the end. I'm not black but I have naturally curly/wavy hair and I always had so much trouble with it. Never really liked how I look with the curls. And then I decided to straighten it, and I was so in love! I'm in my straight hair phase right now, and maybe someday I'll go back to natural, but I think we should always prioritize what makes us feel better about ourselves!
Yesss I hate when people tell me I need to embrace my natural hair. taking care of curly hair can be expensive and time consuming!! We should be doing what we love and what makes us feel good. I have curly hair and I like my curly hair but I like it straight too and people are always making comments shaming me for straightening it. 🤦♀️
def in my straight hair phase. curly hair is just too much and i don’t care enough to do it right now
Yes they always telll u they love natural women, i tell them okay come do my hair then! Then we can talk
You aren't feeling better about yourself, but better about fitting in.
@@lavinder11 nah I don't really care about fitting in. I just want to look at myself and feel pretty :)
I get salon relaxers now because I got tired of doing it myself but I don't think people realize how much work it takes to do it yourself and that's why most get it on the scalp especially when you're working against time. It's definitely a learning process to get your system down tight. Loved your reactions, Brad. 💜
Yes I bleached a small section at the front of my hair to the root to dye it hot pink. It took SO long and I had to be totally invested in the process to be sure my very dark type 4 hair lifted evenly and to blond because I didn't want an orange or copper based. I don't think I have the patience to do even a quarter of my head.
I've always dipped in and out of Brad's channel, this is my first video in a while and i have to say I'm really impressed with his knowledge on relaxers and black hair in general. At the same time, he's very open about how much he still doesn't know. Great job Brad🤗
In high school I had a stylist relax and bleach my hair in one day. Within a week it all fell out. Haven’t colored or relaxed my hair since. I have THICK beautiful, curly hair but I can’t say that I don’t miss color from time to time. Also Brad, I adore you. Thanks for always lifting Black women up in your videos!
The second woman may have applied in that order depending on how coarse that part of her hair is. Afro hair can have multiple texture types. When I used to get relaxers, the middle of my head was by far the coarsest and took the longest time to process. We always ended up waiting for it to be done enough, even risking the rest being overdone because of it.
Yes you are correct. That's why I applied it to the crown first. My hair is the most Coarse in that area.
My hair took longer to process and it’s fine. The reason was that my hair is low porosity which makes it slower to absorb. I always got my hair relaxed by professionals and was still left with scabs sometimes. they would want to leave it in even when I was burning because the processing was slow.
I used to relax my hair in the back. After becoming natural I learned that section is on the looser side. I should not have been doing that lol no wonder my hair struggling in the back.
@@Eveningbreeze721I must be the only one whose natural hair is coarser around the edges. lol everyone else I’ve ever met has looser hair around the edges. Apparently very rare to have coarser hair around edges
Fact: The day I went back to natural was when a relaxer dulldozed through my edges. I prayed to Black Jesus that if he gave me my edges back, I would never relax again. The edges returned, and we lived nappily ever after. 🥰
What did you do to regrow your edges please ?
@@s.mfaith1227 Honestly, I just crossed my fingers and left them alone. I didn’t use any products or home remedies, I just left my edges absolutely alone. No brushing, no braids, I just let them grow and made sure my bonnet that wasn’t too tight around my edges at night, and hoped they came back. I didn’t have excessive prolonged damage, so they were able to grow back. They’re still not as full as they were, but they’re here, and I’ll never them for granted again.
The reverence Brad has for Black women & our hair is so sweet & appreciated!
I remember my mother trying to use a relaxer on my hair in the 90s (Romani+Irish heritage...or hair-itage, if you will). It massively didn't do anything, just made it even more frizzy than normal. Massive shout out to all the curly geniuses online who have shown me and so many others how to actually take care of super curly hair! 💙
As an african i prefer using the child relaxer kit just because when im doing it by myself it takes time and the child kit is more forgiving on how long you can leave it in so it really helps that it doesnt immediately start relaxing while im still trying to ut sections and really get it in everywhere not to mention if i mess up im able to go straight in with round two instead of having to either risk it over relaxing and falling out or wating two days.
I do the same! 🙌🏾
What strikes me the most about your comment is that they make a child relaxer kit!!
@@lapatti I know dark and lovely does that's the only brand I use not sure about other relaxer brands 😂 honestly my sculp is also way to sensitive to use regular relaxer it starts burning even before it's done its proper work and if I allow it to sit the whole time I end up getting sores from the burns
I am a caucasian woman with pin straight hair. I understand you wanting to change your hair. I have put perms in my hair to make it curly. I will never do it again. It's ironic how I want curls and you want straight hair.
me as well
Being called beautiful by brad is the best part of my week
Why?
@@MegaSlimgoody1cause it's nice
@@shawndanewby8941 Any compliment, is nice. I just want to know why she values his compliment. Now please let her answer.
@@MegaSlimgoody1 she probably likes he's compliments
@@shawndanewby8941 Because it's giving because he is a white hairdresser, that's why it's the best part of her week. So, that is why I am asking. Because black women need to understand that we are beautiful without validation.
Hi Brad, I love that you acknowledge when you don’t know something but are willing to learn. Most people think that we get relaxers to be European-ish but that’s not true. When you have like 4C or a tight curl pattern it takes insanely amounts of time and products to manage your hair. My daughter’s hair wash day can take 4 hours even at a salon because her curls starts to tighten as soon as air hits it. It will be dry at the ends but not at the roots. My hair does that so I have it kind of short.
And people either forget or are ignorant of the history of bw having to straighten their hair due to things like workplace discrimination.
@@greenytaddict Not only in history. Look at recently how many stories there are of kids/teenagers getting suspended from school because of wearing their natural hair.
But it does have more to do with looking European tho, since our natural hair is not accepted in society. And we also have conditioned ourselves to not like our natural hair as well.
Thank You Brad for not discriminating on us black beautiful women and explaining how our hair is cause not everyone understands how to treat our hair. Love watching your videos and i love your channel.
Just spent 2 hours applying for jobs and saw the notification for this video pop up. This is now my reward. Thanks Brad
Hey good luck on your job hunt, Sponty!
good luck!!!!!!
best of luck :))
Rinsing out the relaxer early isn’t bad… just loosens the curl pattern vs fully straightening. It’s all preference and is one of the coolest parts of a relaxer to me
She actually did a terrible job. She needed to get a few tutorials under her belt because when she washed her hair BEFORE the relaxer and I'm glad she didn't damage her scalp. Her application was poor also. Im glad it turned out okay, but it could've been so much worse.
no. that just looks a mess. if you want to loosen curls a relaxer isn’t for you because you’re not loosening anything, you’re straightening them out, and you get stragglers. that’s what a texturizer is for.
@michinsaeggi-dakcho A texturizer is a relaxer. It's just left on for less time. Chemically they are the same thing.
@@cherposton8242watching people perm now verses back in the day is like a whole different thing 😩 there is DEFINITELY a gap in teaching how to do it properly. I agree with you. I was speaking in general.
@@michinsaeggi-dakchohow do you think they get straight if it is not loosening (relaxing) the curl pattern.
If there's one thing Brad's videos have taught me, it's to support my local hairdressers by having my hair done professionally so I won't end up with regrets. Thanks, Brad! (I'm sure my hairdresser is grateful too.)
Gosh i dont miss this the way we had no fear throwing chemicals on our head the burn scabs were part of the fun 🤦🏾♀️
i loved the burn scabs 😂😂😂😂😂 i used to peal them off smiling 😭
@dastargirl I did! And now I have the audacity to wonder why my scalp is permanently damaged in areas 😂
@@shoozu damn I’m glad mine never did that😩 have u tried exfoliating
One; all these girls are so brave. The idea of home relaxing or perming both scare the crap out of me. Two; I’m not black, but I do have curly hair, which I choose to straighten most of the time (not chemically) and what Brad said about the EFFORT to have good, detangled, styled, curly hair is bonkers compared to not curly. Whenever I do choose to allow my curls out, so many people are like “wow, why don’t you just always do that, it’s so pretty “ …. Cause it takes like, 4 times as long 😅
I have wavy hair. It's actually faster for me to just curl it with a curling iron or overnight heatless curls than to do the curly method that makes my natural wave pattern look good. Like 1/2 the time.
Brave? It's just hair y'all say the weirdest stuff
@@PrettyGirlPretty11 I think she meant the chemical burns that can happen with doing bleaching/perming at home. They are way stronger than just coloring. I don't care if im coloring it, because if its uneven its uneven 🤷♀️ but if I knew I could burn my scalp with coloring I wouldn't do it eather, thats just something im not willing to risk
I am black and only go natural in the summer because of the work when it's curly. I can blow-dry and flat iron my hair which will take me 4 hours, but then for 2 weeks all I have to do to style is put a brush through it. I can do my curly hair quicker, but I have to do it much more consistently and deal with the moods my hair is in everyday.
@@kattiemccanzie7553 Exactly that 👍
With the third girl, when you were talking about how the roots should be done last, I had a flashback to all the times you talked about hair bleaching and doing the roots last. That actually makes the most sense when it comes to a lot of hair processes, as well as not adding heat as it can cause problems.
I would love to see Brad collab sometimes with an expert hairdresser who can chime in with information when it’s a process he’s less familiar with so we can all learn best practices together. This was super fun!
I watch Brad's videos to either be in complete awe of gorgeous hair or to be absolutely horrified by fails. There is no in-between.
Rarely catch a Brad vid this early! Also as a black woman who hasn’t relaxed her hair in years, the flash backs to my childhood & teenage years before I went natural don’t make me miss it! Lol! 😄😄 I can still smell it and feel my scalp burning 🙃🥴😄
The chemical burns! I still have phantom pains 😢
Triggered!!! I'm like, I'm good with my natural hair. Never again am I going to relax my hair.
i've been using the relaxer "Just For Me" since I was a child, i'm 33 now and it's the only relaxer i trust tbh and THE ONLY PERSON I TRUST TO RELAX MY HAIR IS MY MOM so watching these gives me soooo much anxiety. i would never ever ever do my hair myself so kudos to these people doing it themselves but OMG.
You remember the “just for me” came with a tape in the box. 😂
This is me exactly. Used Just for me all my life. I'm 33. Would only trust Mom!!! lol
Those models weren’t even relaxed either.
So you're just going to ignore the warnings from thr FDA about relaxers causinf cancer and fibroids.. this was all based on findings from a massivr lawsuit from black women who got ill from using hair relaxers.

I’m white (with wavy hair) and I wanted straight hair so bad as a teen my mom took me to a salon to get a relaxer. I would be too scared to do it at home. These people were very brave doing it themselves. Doing black hair is an art in itself and I admire the dedication it takes to produce so many styles. I can barely get my hair into a ponytail without having to clip the short layers back.
Dude, that first hair transformation has got me wanting to take care of myself again. SHE ATE THAT! That is her look👌🏾
Brad is looking like a WHOLE ass snack! Yes! 😍
Silk presses are THE most satisfying thing to watch 😍 Edit: ITS NOT SILK PRESS ..still a great brad vid! These girlies are beautiful ❤
I Agree with both parts of your comment!
I think the original title was a mistake maybe
You know what Brad 🤔 you really are the bridge between different races of sisters learning and understanding one another ❤ your love of hair and expertise is chefs kiss. Your ministry is bigger than you know
I could never go back to relaxing my hair because of how harmful they are, but the results these ladies got were amazing!
Yeah hearing Brad talking about the brush scraping the scalp triggered relaxer memories. I don't miss it and will probably only straighten my hair out with a silk press.
Relaxer are not Hamful you are only supposed to relaxer your hair once very for month s I have healthy long relaxed hair I do protective hair styles relaxed hair can be healthy like natural hair
@@greenytaddict event with skill press hair you have to becareful you don’t do it often that’s why there protective hair styles
To add to your relaxer education Brad, there’s also a fibreguard relaxer that even more gentle than a no lye relaxer. I switched my relaxer to fibreguard last year when I switched hair dressers because there’s no way I’m attempting relaxing my hair by myself and my hair still has curls in it but just looser because I like having the option of both
You saved the best for last!🤣❤️ I can admit, things got chaotic but the results?! SNAPPED👏🏽😍 Seeing you review my video was hilarious, thanks for the tips! I’ll keep them in mind for next time❤️
You did great Alivia. Your KZhead channel is amazing 😍
Great job! Your hair looks amazing!
You did an awesome job, and your complexion is AMAZING, like, holy sh*t, you have beautiful skin! 🤩
We start at the top of our hair because of the thickness closer to the scalp. We know that closer to the head is hotter which is why we do it do that we can get our hair straighter Brad.
@bradmondo when I tell you I LOVE that you are aware of terminology black hair and issues amongst our culture and how you try to find a positive!!! That’s why I watch you! So admirable! ❤❤ Good job
Thanks for the black woman love Brad❤! We love you back. 😊
First boss lady - DAMNNNN. Killed it!! She looks like a queen.
Off topic but omg Brad looks stunning in this video.😍😍 The light background and light coloured fitt compliments his skin so well...love this set up 🤌🤌
You can tell Brad spaced out a few times. Lol he missed the second girl say she was deep conditioning and that's why she did the hot cap
It's the ADHD
This first girl who relaxed and colored her hair did a great job. Her hair is so strong to have withstood all those heavy-duty chemicals. My hair would have broken off or melted. Your looks so beautiful, shiny, and amazing!!!
Brad - the 5'oclock shadow is on point today, it looks picture perfect
I can't believe a whole white man answered my answer !! This whole time they applied it to my scalp and my scalp would be screaming event after the relaxer for days and days . Reason I actually went natural !! Thank you for this
I love the style of Buisnessman Brad. You're so handsome that it inspires me to study painting more diligently so I can capture your beauty.
I love it when you can’t tell the result until the very end of the process
The last application is why I just can't imagine ever relaxing my hair again. That overlap... my nerves cant handle it
so my cat loves when i watch brads videos. he loves his voice and comes to sit down and relax on my lap every time I'm playing your videos idk what it is. i follow a lot of youtubers but my cat LOVES to listen to brad talk 😂
He definitely has such a smooth & soothing voice. It would be nice to hear him read affirmations or something that relaxing to help the listener sleep.
Brad, I love the versatility of your knowledge. It's rare, especially in the UK (where I'm from) for a non black stylist to have such great know how in regards to relaxers and black and mixed race hair. Thank you. Much love ❤.
A lot of hair stylists have more knowledge on mixed race hair that is type 3b or 3a , is only coarse texture like 4b-c they will find a struggle and won't bother learning
@@ninaowusu8157I’m mixed race and the hairdressers I have been to in the past have been useless with my hair.

She ate that tho lol
@@zoenoy1we are seeing just a video after a lot of heat to press it straight……The thing is long term. How was it damaged ?

If someone tells me i should keep my hair natural and honor my culture im going to tell them to either pay for everything i need to keep it natural (even tho im allergic tk most serums and hair products, ill use the money for other things 😂) or shut their mouths
Do want you want with your hair. But goodness, this comment is borne of ignorance! #theCrownACT couldn't make it pass congress!
@@brooklyndecember and how so? Because I don't think my hair defines whether or not I'm honouring my culture.
I don't understand what you're saying is the actual problem. Is it is that relaxing is cheaper than buying hair care products or is it that you are allergic to products? Also, does relaxing mean that you never have to use products? This seems incoherent. Is it cheaper to have to go through chemo when you are older too?
You do what you want. SWEETHEART. It's your hair it's your life. Anyone that complains just wants to complain. Lol.
You can do what you want but to say your allergic to serums but have no problem slapping a carcinogen on your head is hilarious
The first 1- O M G she looks so beautiful (mostly due to her confidence n maybe makeup) Look at the big smile on her face 🫂 The second lady looks beautiful and happy 🫂 The last 1 looks so so happy n just as gorgeous as the other 2
10:58 giiiiiirl you had gorgeous natural hair and now you are smoking with straight hair!!! Stunning!!
That 1st hair was hair mag worthy❣️ I think it's great self care to style your hair to match desired maintenance. Straight hair is easier to manage for some, other like curly, braids, dreads, wigs, shaved, etc.
I don't do relaxers anymore because I went natural like 5 years ago. After years of getting them done and doing them on others, I definitely got to the point I was doing my own. Honestly, they are not really complicated and can definitely be done at home
The way anyone can use a flat iron on the back of their head like that... Freaking magicians
Exactly, I have such respect for anyone who can be so patient and precise with the back, I just don't even bother I can't cope
Watch the girls they can cornrow the back of their head themselves! Super impressive
Brad’s commentary on relaxer vs straight was brilliant. I have healthy hair and most people don’t know when it’s relaxed or I just pressed it in between relaxers. It’s crazy how nasty people get. As a beauty professional, I have to work with it all, but some people get very personal about other people’s choices.
I love when Brad gets excited at people doing things right!
I grew up getting my hair relaxed, I didn’t even know I had curly hair until I was 18 and living on my own having to do my own hair. It’s been about a decade and I’m still learning how to work with my curly hair lol
I have naturally curly hair aswell, if you're still unsure about how to manage your curls, there are good people on utube to look for 🤗
@@laurasearch4155That's how I learned. I went to black stylists but they said they didn't know about natural hair. I went to a Deva stylist but she was working with so many people at the same time she just wanted to get me out of there. Every other Deva stylist in this major city was not taking new clients. I watched tons of videos and stopped people everywhere I went asking who did their hair.
Same, except I knew my hair was naturally curly and wanted an afro for a long time. It wasn’t until my early twenties that I decided to go natural; it’s definitely a learning curve but I love my natural hair
How could you grow up getting your hair relaxed and not know you had curly hair? Did you not know why you were there/what you were doing?
@@ND-lw6qk it’s surprisingly common actually…I was getting relaxers from the time I was young, so it took a while for me to realize my hair was naturally curly & not straight. I went natural a year and a half ago and my 4C Afro is THRIVING ❤️ it’s so nice to see what my natural hair actually looks like.
I love how I am watching this while anxiety dying my hair vibrant red😂😂😂
@@talak3544 Thanks! It did ;-)
“It will fall off, fall to the floor, and die”, followed by the *Wilhelm Scream!* That thing is everywhere!
When I was relaxed, I did both finger and brush applications, and they came out perfect. The last girl's problem was that she did not use enough relaxer on her sections. Her hair is too thick for that little bit. She needed a really good coating.
I love the Kenough vibes, the hair, the beard… chef’s kiss! Looking great, Brad!
My jaw DROPPED at the first girl's result. Wow 💖
I love they way he shows love to black hair! ❤ Thanks, Brad!! 😊😅❤
I know so little about African American hair- besides its always stunning- I love that you highlight different types of hair. I learn so much and NEVER would have guessed all the work that goes in to relaxing hair and having to look amazing after.
OMG! My sister and I have really curly hair. Hers is more like corkscrew curls. Back in the early 1990s, she decided she was going to do a permanent relaxer, at home, by herself. She definitely got the curl out. However, she forgot one important step in the relaxing process. SHE FORGOT TO USE THE NEUTRALIZER! Her hair got so badly damaged that it was just falling out and was basically mush. So she went from her hair lenggt of at least halfway down her back, to a "Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby," pixie!
😂😂yes it a lot thats why we wear wigs. Not because we dont have hair but for convenience ❤
LOVEEE watching these videos where you speak on our issues/criticisms we face in the relaxed & natural hair community as black women. Thank you for seeing & respecting us! We ❤❤❤ you Brad!! & I just recently relaxed my natural hair after 2 years of having cut off my 3 year old locs & I can’t wait to see my stylist on Tuesday so he can make my relaxed pixie dreams come true!! 😄💇🏻♀️
I love how you are so truthful and to the point. I love watching your videos and I think you are truly the BEST❤
SHOUT OUT TO BRAD.. coming out your comfort zone.. You are amazing.. Thank you for the video.. ❤❤
Brad this look is chefs kiss. The light beard, the styled hair, i live for this 💋
I love the way your passion has no color-lines! And yess respect on your love for hair especially when you spoke with amaze and understanding of black women’s hair! Love all your videos!! Thank you💜
I love that you understand about relaxers. I can tell you are very knowledgeable about hair types and about chemicals 👏👏👏
This made me want to try a hair relaxer because it would save me sooo much time but then when I went to search for one the first thing that came up was a lawasuit for hair relaxers causing ovarian cancer 😅
Are you black with corse afro hair? Just wondering
Yep. Its linked to gyn malignancies and fibroids. Now imaging doing multiple a year starting in childhood. It's really something black women should get away from but people will do what they want.
If you are white I wouldn't risk it. White hair seems to not be able to handle it.
Okay I need a vid on locs. I love watching Brad watch us 😭❤️
I absolutely love all these black woman praises! Thank you.
I've had natural hair since I was 12..and now with all the health issues that have come to light because of relaxers I'm so glad I stayed away from them. Good luck ladies!
My grandmother always used relaxers and rinse (semi permanent color) for years. Her hair was always passed her shoulders ❤
Just got my hair dyed purple for the first time (BY A PROFESSIONAL)and it’s because of your videos 😊
18:43 THIS!!! AAAALLLLL THIIIIS! Thank you for the love Brad!🖤
I absolutely love your inclusive content. With really thoughtful and sensitive commentary. Bravo!
