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 🩷🩷🩷🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

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.

“It will snap, fall to the floor, and die.” = me with every inconvenience

I swear I can smell the relaxer through the screen and my scalp is tingling 😂

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 love how Brad's aesthetic changed. he looks so mature now and professional ♥

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.

Brad's set-up and outfit makes me think I died and ended up in a high-end dentist office in heaven

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” 😩👍🏽❤

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! 🫶🏽

I haven’t relaxed my hair in over 20 years. I am much happier.

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.

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.

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🤗

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!!

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

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!

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

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!

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. 💜

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!

The reverence Brad has for Black women & our hair is so sweet & appreciated!

First boss lady - DAMNNNN. Killed it!! She looks like a queen.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

As AA women we can’t apply the perimeter or back of our hair first because of the fragility of those areas. They burn quicker. We apply in our crown FIRST because that’s the most dense area and harder to straighten, takes the longest. We strategically apply the perimeter last because those areas don’t take long to process. Trust! Most of us GOT THIS!! Although , personally , myself. I’m natural. But was relaxed > 20’years and natural for 15 years

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.)

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. 🥰

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.

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!

@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

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 🙃🥴😄

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!!!! 💜😊💜

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 🤌🤌

Dude, that first hair transformation has got me wanting to take care of myself again. SHE ATE THAT! That is her look👌🏾

Being called beautiful by brad is the best part of my week

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

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’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.

Brad is looking like a WHOLE ass snack! Yes! 😍

„People act like coconut oil is bullet proof“ - Brad Mondo The Truth Teller

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 😂

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.

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.

Just spent 2 hours applying for jobs and saw the notification for this video pop up. This is now my reward. Thanks Brad

The last application is why I just can't imagine ever relaxing my hair again. That overlap... my nerves cant handle it

10:58 giiiiiirl you had gorgeous natural hair and now you are smoking with straight hair!!! Stunning!!

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 😅

Silk presses are THE most satisfying thing to watch 😍 Edit: ITS NOT SILK PRESS ..still a great brad vid! These girlies are beautiful ❤

I love the Kenough vibes, the hair, the beard… chef’s kiss! Looking great, Brad!

I love how you are so truthful and to the point. I love watching your videos and I think you are truly the BEST❤

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.

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❤️

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.

those relaxer burns are NO JOKE!!!

Thanks for the black woman love Brad❤! We love you back. 😊

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 that you understand about relaxers. I can tell you are very knowledgeable about hair types and about chemicals 👏👏👏

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!!!

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

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.

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 it when you can’t tell the result until the very end of the process

I love when Brad gets excited at people doing things right!

I’ve loved your channel for years and I love that you include us! You’re my favorite 🥰

I absolutely love your inclusive content. With really thoughtful and sensitive commentary. Bravo!

I could never go back to relaxing my hair because of how harmful they are, but the results these ladies got were amazing!

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.

Brad this look is chefs kiss. The light beard, the styled hair, i live for this 💋

so for some reason your perm at home video from 4 years ago showed up on my feed and you were talking about how much you’ve changed since you started your channel and it actually made me realize that today you almost look like a completely different person from how you looked in that video and it’s amazing and exciting 😍

SHOUT OUT TO BRAD.. coming out your comfort zone.. You are amazing.. Thank you for the video.. ❤❤

I'm having a really hard day, and then I saw a new video from Brad and I instantly felt better ❤

I loved ❤ watching, You are such a good teacher on what to & what not to do, to your hair. Bless You 😊 ❤️ 💙 💜.

I'm addicted to Brad's videos at this point... These women all did an incredible job wow 👏

brad you are glowingg!!! whatever your doing keep doing it !!

They all look gorgeous 😍great job

My jaw DROPPED at the first girl's result. Wow 💖

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.

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

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 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! 💙

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.

Just got my hair dyed purple for the first time (BY A PROFESSIONAL)and it’s because of your videos 😊

“It will fall off, fall to the floor, and die”, followed by the *Wilhelm Scream!* That thing is everywhere!

These were so fun to watch! I also greatly admire the styling skills of these ladies. I never did quite learn how to use styling tools correctly-my mom was a hairdresser so she always styled it for me and so now as an adult I’m clueless with any type of iron tool 😂😂

Brad!! I love the way you do your research on different cultures. Its appreciated 🧡

I have been debating relaxing my hair again. Despite most of it falling out the last time I did it. Im going to invest in the hydration line Brad has first to ensure good condition. Looking forward to that feeling the first girl expressed. She felt beautiful and is beautiful

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 ❤.

Im sooooooo happy women have access to information from a professional like you!!!! When i was a kid this did not exist!!!!! Thank you for what ur doing!!!!!!!

I love how I am watching this while anxiety dying my hair vibrant red😂😂😂

The way anyone can use a flat iron on the back of their head like that... Freaking magicians

Brad you look absolutely FABULOUS in this video! The hair, the jacket, the necklace. the 5:00 shadow.

If the hair lays down flat to the head that's when it is ready to rinse out....lol Brad the condition in the ors kit doesn't have neutralizing products just the shampoo...and omg love 😂 seeing ppl apply relaxers it has me feeling like yourself correcting them😊

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
