Hairdresser Reacts To The Most Satisfying DIY Silk Presses
Hi Beautiful! Today we watch your favorite thing: at-home silk press videos! I’m living for the major hair transformations, it’s sooo satisfying to watch. Straightening curly hair requires a lot of skill and dedication, and it’s really hard to pull off, even for professionals. Let’s see if those girls have that in them!

I'm seriously blown away when I watch videos like those. Thanks, ladies, for all the hard work and love you put into your hair. It's so empowering and inspiring! 🖤
love you brad! you’re my inspo 🩷🩷
That Rev Air grew my hair to my butt in three years. All girls, not just black girls, need a Rev Air. No damage from brush drying
@@tanisha.r.thomas really? i need that, my hair takes forever to grow and it’s super thin red hair it’s horrible
Looking absolutely stunning Brad, the color/cut of your hair suits you so well!!! The scruff is working for you too haha🤩 I'm loving your videos more and more, just remember to always be true to you and do what you love most and the rest of us will follow😉
What was the flat iron the second girl used that brad said he just bought also?
Brad knowing the Black girl lingo lol “bust down” is sending meeee 😂 Brad is FOR THE GIRLIES!!!
🤔💆🏽♀️
Lmao girl I said the same thing! I’m like who taught Brad the lingoooo😂😂😂😂😂
But not knowing how offensive it is to say her hair is a weave….. I’m not being sent anywhere but to annoyance. Can’t even finish the video 😒
@@Halalbeautie it's a compliment, cry abt it
yeah, I didn't appreciate that either but this is coming from someone who experienced my Black boss run her fingers through the crown of my hair *without* asking while exclaiming it's not a wig 🫠
I feel like the silicone is exactly the reason why Black people started loving Chi. It helps the hair lay flatter without feeling too heavy and seems to leave a really nice shine and protection behind after the silk press; that "coating" you mentioned. The downside is too much of it will leave your hair really weighed down and oily. But Black people don't typically have to worry about oiliness and build up as quickly especially type 4 hair hence why we can normally go longer between washings too. I'd imagine a "coating" on someone's hair who has to wash it off everyday would seem unnecessary but for us it helps that silk press stay silky a little longer. They're also easily available at the drug store unlike a lot of other brands and relatively affordable for your average person. Especially if you use it sparingly.
Because silicones stop everything from drying out, I feel like I need less product which helps stretch my wash days for sure
I’ve used Chi Silk Infusion for over a decade and have it to thank for the health of my hair. In college I ironed my hair every day (yea I had the energy) and it still grew down to my waist with no splits. I’m white but my hair is curly, frizzy and dry without something to seal in moisture. I tried to find something fragrance free that’s similar but may have to go back to it. Trying to grow my hair back healthy after bleaching the shit out of it and don’t wanna take my chances. lol
It depends. I have type 4 but my strands are fine and easily weighed down. I have to avoid certain ingredients not to have buildup issues.,
I call Chi and Super Skinny “liquid crack” to my clients and tell them exactly that. Too little it doesn’t help, too much and you’ve gotta wash and restart. And honestly other than a treatment (like the one she used) and a simple product like the chi or super skinny, maybe a heat protectant if your product doesn’t have one built in, that’s all you need. I know Brad is a product junkie but that’s exactly what’s gonna cause stiff hair once you press it. Hence the phrase “Silk”, gotta be silky and flowing, which means less product and better technique.
I'm white as fuck and I love CHI products. I do have very thick and curly hair and it keeps the moisture in my hair.
Silk presses are literally the MOST satisfying thing on this planet.
It's beautiful but I would rather eat a cheeseburger 😒
It’s so satisfying, love straightening my hair and then silk pressing it 😊
Can you give me a silk press
@@Madamchiefyou want a cookie or something?
What is it? Does it work on wavy/frizzy thick hair? It’s not curly but I could do with hair like that 😍🤣
Brad can I just say. I don’t even watch these videos for the silk press. I watch because NO ONE appreciates a black woman’s hair like you do! Thank you so much for reminding the world there is beauty in us too!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the compliments 😊I’m glad I have your stamp of approval, Brad! I’d love to try the product you suggested. 🫶🏾
You and your hair are stunning 😍
Are you the second girl who gave all the body & volume. Luv'd yours the most!
Beautiful hair!! Great video
@@brooklyndecember @JayHayes is the first girl.
@@brooklyndecemberI think she was the 1st girl with the 30” buss down 😍😍
I LOVE how you LOVE black women's hair!! you're AWESOME Brad!
Who doesn’t love black womens hair? It’s amazing!!! When a black woman takes good care of her hair it’s the best type of hair. I have naturally wavy hair but it first comes in curly and then goes straight. It’s nice having options but us white girls are just wavy haired fuzz balls. I need to take a page out of a black girls hair playbook on straightening. Brad is not wrong when he says white girls don’t know how to straighten their hair. Black women need to help us out 😆 we are a damn mess.
As a Natural hair black woman, watching this KZheadr give us our flowers is soooo greatly appreciated ❤ not even members of our own (black) community appreciates our natural kinky, coily curly hair. It's looked at as "bad hair". We have been so brainwashed by whites over centuries telling us how ugly our skin is or how ugly and "Nappy" our hair is. We were taught that biracial chicks hair or white people's hair is considered "good hair" it's this way of thinking that made me give up relaxers going on 13 years now. It's longer than it's ever been. When I was relaxing it, it wouldn't grow past a certain length and that's probably because of the years of chemical burns from the relaxers. Now my hair is waist length and it's amazing 😍 I would NEVER go back to relaxers. I think all black women should ditch the creamy crack and go natural. It's insane that I get more compliments wearing my hair big and curly from white people than I do in my own community. Even my mom said my hair is "Nappy" and needs to be relaxed. Once it grew out all big and curly, she wanted to go natural too. 😂😂😂 we gotta start loving what God and our parent gave us. The brainwashing has to stop.
ITS FAKE LOVE he just here for the check
@bahiyyahmoore4851 Or. . . You're just a hater. One of those lame people that think black people can't have long hair and seeing a white man give praise got you messed up. Get a life loser😂
@@bahiyyahmoore4851 show us how many lace fronts you got, we know how lazy some of yall are with your natural hair nowadays. i thank god for being totally natural and not lazy with my hair.
Honestly knowing it's really bright in the room makes SO MUCH SENSE NOW
lol
@@BradMondo she put the hair straightener on low heat if it’s put on high heat it could be damaging to the hair
When Brad said “that is a 30 inch BUST DOWN” that’s how you know he’s a real one 😂🙌🏽
Wow - that 1st lady has incredibly long hair! It looked so sleek and silky after the straighteners! All amazing jobs! I wish I could get my hair that straight!
First girlie has the most beautiful hair I’ve ever seen! And she is gorgeous too 😊
If I were a black lady and had hair like the first girlie, I wouldn’t ever straighten it, she looked so fine before and after. So much work!
@@ValC-vn5vlyeah well as a natural curly girl myself when you live every single day of your life with those curls a little 4/5 day straight hair switch up is fun 😂 but we’re also excited to go back to our natural curls afterwards 😌… well most of us at least 😅
You should get a silk press!
@@musichelps999 exactly. i have a love-hate relationship with my curls, and when i'm able to straighten it, it's such a nice change. even though its only for a few days.
I’ve literally only watched the first girl and ran to the comments. Hahaha as a straight hair girly I cannot comprehend how it is possible to get those curls. It is so beautiful! I wish I had curly hair.
😂 me too her hair is beautiful 😍
When your hair is damp Braid it ALL of it Then in an hr or so Undo the braids
Me too! My hair is so straight and it won't hold a curl at all.
@@renatatarnawski5974incorrect. The only way to imitate natural curls that a person african decent has is literally to perm your hair. Braids gives you waves, not curls
She basically did a keratin treatment on top of an older keratin treatment after 3-6 months. She did a Brazilian blowout and not a silk press. I know because she applied chemicals with gloves which is the second step after stripping the hair. 🤫 She also didn’t film all steps. You have to wash the hair after flat ironing it to wash out that chemical shit. They are toxic chemicals.
Brad thank you for giving attention to black women's hair. I think it's very fascinating on how very versatile their hair is and I love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Brad-"That is a 30 inch buss down!" I love him!!! Love your fascination and willingness to learn more about textured hair! Would love to see you do a reaction to natural hair wash-n-go videos!! ☺
Ok, that First Lady was GORGEOUS! And her hair was amazing. I would watch her do anything.
She has a boring personality but I can understand you.
@@nicoleraheem1195😂
@@nicoleraheem1195not everyone can be ghetto or play out stereotypes
@@nicoleraheem1195looool you could not be more wrong. 😂 🥴
@@nicoleraheem1195 What the hell do you expect her to do?? Juggle or do a magic trick? She is a normal softy spoken beautiful woman with gorgeous hair.
As far as blow drying goes, the goal is usually to stretch the hair as much as possible without damaging. For curlier hair types, the tension required to blow it straight can be really hard on the hair for a non professional.
Every time I watch Brad reacting to black hair videos (or just curly hair in general) it makes me want to post a video yme doing my own silk press just so I can hope he'll react to it 😂 😅😭❤
You should totally do it!!!
Same girl!! 😭
Do it!!!
Do it!!! I could watch this all day long!
Yes do it, we need more 😂
Chi is literally the best for black hair, it allows us to get super straight hair without high heat and minimal damage
I completely agree. I love my chi flat iron. I have the one with one heat setting. I has no heat adjustments. It is already set to get just hot enough to straighten my hair without getting too hot. I love it.
Try Kenra! It's GOAT. ❤
I love the way you appreciate us🫶🏾🤞🏾💪🏾💯🤎
Me too! I didn't realize I needed to hear that. ❤
The fact that the lady in the first video had the patience to even straighten it out is so impressive. Mine is mid back straighten out, and it is a pain to do it myself 😅
These ladies all ate. Look at my girl jasmine brown at the end she always had beautiful hair. But all these ladies hair is gorgeousssssss.
The 1st girl is STUNNING!
Yes! They all did that. And that’s definitely jasmine brown ☺️ but I’m not sure if she really does KZhead any more 😬 I could be very wrong 😅 but I more so see her on TikTok these days idk
@@musichelps999 yeah n instagram she doesn’t really do KZhead nomore 💔
Since i enjoy more body & volume, I loved the 2nd girl. *PS: Deeper Than Hair TV (LA) & AndreeMarie (London) channels. Top-tier stylists who specialize in natural hair*
@@brooklyndecember I love deeper than hair that’s my issh I watch tones of natural urban ethical hair channels for our hair textures I just love his channel too
You should follow @Deeper Than Hair TV. She is the pro at silk press.
I watch her. Love her energy and devotion to keeping hair healthy.
That’s the Philly girl her most Philly hair stylist nail the silk press
He’s actually shown her before 😊
I love her videos!! She’s amazing!!!
Yeah, Kee is the goat❤ I love her
I love looking at natural black hairstyles. Every year I hope that it will be trending again. The last girl's hair was amazing!
Curly/coily NOT black. Thank you
@@seraaaperaaa7050 my statement was referring to the fact that schools and institutions (corp) have a thing against natural coily hairstyles.
@@seraaaperaaa7050There are natural Black hairstyles.
@@aikanae1You said it right. Some people just get too caught up in uncalled for semantics.
@@seraaaperaaa7050yes BLACK get over it
He said "I'm imPRESSed" so casually like we wouldn't catch the dad joke. 😂
I have 4a hair but I’ve never been to a salon and have only given myself silk presses for years. The best technique I’ve found for silk presses is to start with your hair WET (it creates a much silkier blowout from the get go than starting from dry) and use a round boar bristle brush (you want to get it as straight as possible but I love volume and body so doing a traditional round brush blowout up away from the head gives me that) to blowout the hair in small sections to get it as straight as possible, then I go in with a flat iron around 350 to really get it nice and straight and shiny
Thanks cuz im like a 4a as well. ❤
Fellow poc with curly hair here, I also loved Chi products when I was trying to get my hair to grow back after years of damage from straightening with a flat iron. I bought their straightener, heat protectant, silk infusion and the shampoo/conditioner. I still use everything except the shampoo/conditioner. It saved my hair and gave me my length back as well. The silk infusion (maybe from the silicone?) really helps keep the hair smooth and frizz free. I’ll go to fix my curls on day three or so and after running a bit through my hair after it makes a huge difference. Hope to try your products at some point 😊
I love when you do these videos. As a person who’s natural, it’s a pleasure. ❤❤❤❤
I appreciate that you react to all different hairstyles and different cultural hairstyles (probably not the best way to describe that, but you know what I mean!) Your videos are rad, Brad ❤
You stated it perfectly!! Brad is making the girlies proud, he speaks so positive and some much life…
I grew up next door to my best friend (still best friend) who is black and I remember going to her house and her mom put a hot comb in the oven (or maybe stove 🤔), that was some (terrifying) G shit right there. I remember she would teach her how to do her hair in all these intricate steps versus my mom just did my hair for me. As a kid I never thought much about the care that was put in to her hair, honestly I just loved when her mom included me and use the same rubber bands (with those plastic balls) and put little braids in my hair 😊
The first woman is GORGEOUS!!!!!!
Ok...I should not have been eating while watching this because when I tell you Brad saying 30 inch buss down almost ended my life 😭😂 I cannot
Love the reactions. These women have such beautiful hair, pre- and post-treatment.
Yes I agree. very beautiful! Lol but not a “treatment” though just a process lol those curls are gonna pop right back out like they never left within a week if even that actually 😅
The arm workout that all of these women did is humbling me. Particularly the ones with Hella long hair. My biceps are crying vicariously
Brad Mondo, I enjoy how he's seeing several cultures with varied hair textures. I believe a hair stylist should learn all different types of hair and how to manage them. That is what you term a skilled stylist.
🥹Brad, this video is so affirming for me as a Black woman. TYSM. You look incredible, love the beard.
Jay (the first gal), you can just tell she takes great care of her hair. Curly or straight, it's totally gorgeous. (I mean, they all have gorgeous hair!)
They were all great but the second was the most satisfying to watch for me cause like you I like to watch a bigger transfornation when it comes to hair straightening. I also liked the color on the second girl.
19:54 as for your comment on “does the hair need to be as straight as possible” it all depends on the individual and how coarse their hair is, how thick, how long and it’s really whatever works for your hair. Some people can barely blow dry it and have a good silk press, and some people need that bone straight blowout in order to get a good silk press, so it all depends on the individual. Btw love these videos 🤎
CHI silk products smell AMAZING. I have wavy thick hair, but fine. The shampoo/conditioner combo are too heavy on my hair but the heat protectant spray and leave in oil are my staples. Super silky and soft after I finish my straightening process with it. ❤
Our hair can do anything! Do you do satisfying videos of silk presses going back curly and coily?! That is satisfying as heck too!! ❤❤
White Curly girl here. Love Chi because it makes my hair like silk and smells amazing.
So satisfying to watch! Takes so much patience. These girls have gorgeous hair ❤
Your hair looks so good, it suits your faceshape brad
Love Brad's hair And the color
That Chi Silk Infusion totally saved my (dry, frizzy, curly) hair years ago and I still use it, plus a Kenra or two. Loyalty forever!
I have fine bleached hair and I'm always afraid of burning it off with an iron. Would the silk infusion help me protect without leaving it too greasy?
I love this cause I watch him do everybody else hair that ain’t mine and it’s so addictive but I still love this… he also is so enthusiastic for the queens I love. And live for Brando!
Yess tht second girl is how I do my silk presses, blow dry n stretch the curls out thin sections wit the flat iron n then put it into a roller set. Best pressing technique
Silk presses are SO satisfying!
I love that he loves our hair just as much as we do! And he’s willing to continue to learn about what we do! We love you Brad ❤
Looks like a Babyliss straightener in the first video. I love their heating tools. Totally gets the job done.
I loooooove watching videos of naturally textured hair care and styling! It's so fascinating to see what can be done with curly hair, my hair is as 1A as it gets 🥲
I love the way u react to black girl hair textures 😂❤
16:08 Brad I’m a bw with Locs and I balayaged my hair from your instructions and everyone just compliments me on my color. Thanks Brad 🩷
I wish Brad would do more loc content
Hi Brad!I am a hairstylist in Plainville,Ct.I just love your show and your dry sense of humor.I always learn something every time I watch you.Thank you!
These videos give me so much respect for how much time and care hair like this takes. I don't know how people do it. It's just impressive.
All these girls are soooo beautiful, with and without curls (second one I loved loved loved) I can see why it's mesmerizing how these girls do their hair.
I love the 5 oclock shadow on you, Brad!
Love it! As a fellow curly, appreciate Brad showing us all the textures ➿
Brad, this is your look, the hair style and the beard, please keep it!
Brad, you are the sweetest person! You have so much respect for other people, so much light in you, so much passion! I sincerely adore you as human! And you are looking crazy handsome too❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve been following Jasmine since she first started KZhead, and her hair has ALWAYS been long lol, but me personally I have to blow out my hair first before straightening to get it bone straight ♥️
Hair Goals....😊 Love the way Brad appreciates the black girl hair texture & the different methods we use on our hair.... love it!!!
Silk presses will always amaze me. Seeing the whole process looks like literal magic to me
Bring on lots more BLACK GIRL MAGIC! Please. Absolutely stunning girlies and soooo satisfying!
Brad's having hairgasms . Love it. The results are beautiful.
“I never saw your videos but I missed you” brad would be a great manager to have
I love watching these videos with Brad. Second girl slayed I also love the more curly the better vibes
Love your silk press vids!! I did mine like the 2nd girl for over half my life while only giving myself halo relaxers at home and it stayed super healthy & long. People always questioned if it was real. I rarely do heat anymore but will blowdry with a denman brush the way she used her paddle and you're correct; it then makes the one iron pass possible. 👏🏿👏🏿
A round brush blow dryer will cause breakage. A comb attachment or a paddle brush + blow dryer combo is best
All of these ladies are so beautiful and talented!
I love his love for our unique hair. We love you too Brad!!!🤗
The first girl has amazing natural curls! Beautiful curly and straight.
I love silk press videos! So satisfying 😌
Literally just went and ordered this chi silk infusion
I always have my sister do my silk presses every two weeks, or sometimes once every month if I have a protective hairstyle. I am obsessed with them. The protein treatments and hair trimming is amazing every time
I also like to wash - and dry and put in 2 braids top "train" before straightening! I too use the Chi!
Today has been tough.. This makes it better. Thank you. ❤
I hope your day gets better sweetheart. Jesus loves you :)
@@somethinggood9267 that's very sweet of you. Thanks!
They all did an excellent silk press but I love their natural hair more, the curls and volume are amazing.
Yes! And as a natural curly girl myself I am very sure that all of them love their natural hair/curls more as well it’s just fun to switch it up every once in awhile for a quick little 4/5 day silk press every blue moon 😊
@@musichelps999 My hair is curly too. I didn't say they shouldn't straighten their hair just saying what I prefer capeesh 😂
@@LivingInTheShade Umm eww i can see what type of person you are 🥴 you definitely took my comment the wrong way because i was never insinuating that you were saying that they shouldn’t straighten their hair nor was a ever assuming that you had naturally straight hair I was just simply saying that I’m sure that they also love their natural curly hair more and as a curly girl it’s just fun to switch it up every now and again wtf I don’t understand what the shady come back was about lol but ok 👍🏽🤣
@@musichelps999 I understood your comment, I’m sure she did too.
@@musichelps999 It wasn't at all a shady comeback. I didn't ask you anything so there was never a need for you to respond to my comment. All you needed to do was watch the vid and if you want to make your own comment. I can tell what type of person you are getting yourself into people's business when there's no need to 😂😭
aw I love Brad's appreciation for black hair inside and outside of BHM🫶🏿 you can genuinely tell his interest is piqued and he's truly looking to learn more👏🏿
I'm happily loc'd. I watch for his excitement. The enjoyment is hilarious.
I’m loving the black on white with the chrome looking desk (maybe it’s just a lighting trick but either way I love it )
The Chi thing, this what was in our stores in the 2000s it was always around. Probably, sallys. sometimes came in a pack with 2 products. Hope that helps.
The second girl who gave all the *BODY & VOLUME*. Luv'd hers the most! Also, good at least a coily/type 4 girly was included!
*PS: Deeper Than Hair TV (LA) & AndreeMarie (London) channels. Top-tier stylists who specialize in natural hair. Andree does wonders with color!*
Hey Brad, as someone who also overthinks many things I do, just wanted you to know I'm here for the light ramblings of behind the scene stuff like why you can't see properly. As long as you are truely doing your best, there isn't anything more that anyone can ask of you. Keep up your great work 👏
I really appreciate his broad knowledge of culture and different backgrounds involving hair among all women. His genuine reactions just make it!💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
CHI Silk infusion is one of the only silicone based products I use and I only use it to straighten...I love it for silk presses bc it acts like a heat protectant and (I feel like) it locks in whatever light moisture I have in
Hi Brad! I recently got a silk press and mine has lasted 3 months and I love it!❤
What products were used? And how do you prevent/minimize the reversion that happens in the shower? I have tried so many shower caps and methods and I can't get through a single shower without having to basically touch up my whole head 😭😭
@@AlizMari23 I put tea tree oil in my hair i get a wig cap put my hair and put a bonnet in my jair evey night
Wig caps good hack
@@TinaSaysWhat yes indeed they are!
How!? Don’t you have like an inch and a half of curly roots?
I love seeing a video where Brad is happy and excited with every person's hair! 🙂👍
I loove seeing the curly hair and always want to touch it and style it just to touch it lol ahhh. I dislike a silk press… lol im here for the curls. ❤
I need to see Brad react to some Dominican hair videos. I would love to see him react to Julissa Guillen ❤
OMG I love the 1st girls hair those curls, these women are awesome. Damn I love good silk press videos thanks Brad
When brad says hey beautiful fact that no one says that to me except him I love him so much ❤
I am the opposite of the coily springy, thick texture and I actually love chi as well! Their iron gaurd spray actually does a better job of helping my hair hold a culr than any hair spray I've ever tried. But I do love their finishing and texture sprays as well.
at 1st being a black gurl didnt know wat to expect but salute i luv luv dis guy 1st time watching and its giving bestie❤❤
After having a binge watching session of your videos for the past 2-3 weeks I can definitely say I LOVE YOU ! ❤
They are all gorgeous!The third girls hair is giving Diana Ross to me what it was dried. Stunning hair! Me and my follicular challenged self is so green with envy 💚
Brad your so inspiring I love u so much and appreciate that you took time out of your day to make your fans happy by posting a video❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Loving the 1st gal's lengthy hair! So pretty!
I love your excitement Brad on the Black girlies silk press!! 🥰🥰
So beautiful and so satisfying to watch. Don't have the patience for this though lol. Currently my hair is about 33in long too (And so so thick!) , I can't do anything with it. Taken me 7 years to decide to let someone cut it, nervous, but probably cutting it all off this weekend. Thanks for another wonderful video Brad!
Wow all did great and love how this showed different curl types
