You're Using The Wrong Brush For Your Hair Type 

shoutout to anyone who has ever used one of those ceramic round brushes as a kid and got it stuck in their hair and had to tear it out whilst crying in pain

When he keeps talking about “your brush collection” as if i have more than one brush 👁👄👁

1:30 Rat tail comb for sectioning hair 2:05 Regular comb 2:40 Wide tooth comb 3:30 Teasing brush/comb 4:18 Detangling brush 5:20 Ceramic round brush 7:05 Boar bristle round brush 8:45 Paddle brush 9:42 Mason Pearson brush 11:34 Denman brush 12:47 Round paddle brush 13:56 Best for curly hair 14:35 Best for straight/wavy hair 15:42 for straight hairstyles 16:08 for naturally curly hairstyles 16:51 for Bob hairstyles 17:08 for any hair type and hairstyle

Then there's me who uses a $5 paddle brush for detangling, the shower, blow-drying, and pretty much anything I do with my hair ever. I always wondered why my natural wave is only around in the morning (before I brush my hair) lol

Why didn’t someone tell me that different brushes had reasons i thought it was just for looks

Brad: This $240 brush will last you a lifetime Me: *Looks over at the $3 brush I've used since 2004*

I would also like to recommend wooden brushes. They're anti-static, so less frizz! And also helps distribute the oil from your scalp evenly and nicely. They're very good for massaging your scalp too, which improves blood circulation... + more sustainable heheh

Not me having curly hair, using a paddle brush for years, and being like: "Why tf won't my curls hold?"... I can't even...

I thought there was only one kind of brush: brush

me with my pink plastic tangle tamer brush that ive had since 2010: 👁👄 👁

This explains why my mum (a hairdresser) is overprotective of all her brushes and won’t let me steal them 🥴

Brad! I needed you so much when I was in my 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. Now, I’m a 55 year old grandmother with purple hair and tattoos. Yeah, I rock, but I rock so much harder thanks to your tutorials. I now own a LOT of hairbrushes, top of the line styling tools and of course a TON of your styling products and I love them! My 7 year old granddaughter says “Bro, you have the coolest hair ever!” (She knows better than to call me Grandma 😉 I just love watching your videos, you always make me laugh and I always learn something. Love you, kid! Ps. Can I adopt you? 😁

"These are ceramic round brushes" Me: no, they are hair eating monsters.

When you traumatized yourself as a child with a round brush so you don’t touch them lol yes it got tangled. Yes I had to cut it lol might revisit after this tutorial lol

i’ve been using a detangling brush and always get sad when it makes my natural waves go away. now i know i’ve been using the wrong brush 😭

I have used boar brushes all my life, born in the post war era, that’s a long time. At 70. My hair is still soft with a shine. Helps after a hair cut to get the curls back. Love your show and explanation.

Parents: your life is a mess Me: I’m using the wrong hairbrush type for my hair, what do you expect

everyone is talking about how they got a round brush stuck in their hair, but all i can think of is how i got a barbie comb stuck in my hair right after i had gotten it done and then i had to basically cut my bangs off and my mom never noticed.

Brad: Look at this WIDE range of handy dandy brushes!~ Me: literally using 1 brush that I bought from The Body Shop back in 2013 🌚

The Tangle Teezer is a game changer (for me). It’s perfect for wet tangled hair and dry tangled hair. I swear by it

I can’t be the only one who thought there were only two kinds of brushes, the flat ones and the round ones.

brad: most girls don't know what brushes do what me: you are very correct brad, I didn't know there was a difference

Thank you for suggesting the wide tooth comb for curly hair! I have natural curls and they get tangled easily but I’m expected by my family to just use normal brushes so it ends up frizzing my hair- hopefully the comb will work

My mom got me a Mason Pearson brush when I was little. I've had it for 40 years. It's as perfect as ever. Unless I lose it, it will last until I'm dead. I use it for smoothing back my ponytail nice and sleek.

“Girl friends not to be confused with girlfriends. I tried that and it didn’t work out and now we’re here.” -Brad Mondo Top Quotes of 2020 😂😂😂

imagine asking brad mondo for a hairbrush you: "hey can i borrow your hairbrush?" brad: "sure, i have ceramic round ones, detangling, paddle brushes, boar bristle, and combs for every hair type. ooh and the mason pearson brush. so which one?" you: "...uh a normal hairbrush..."

Been watching his videos on social media for a while, found this old video today and I loveeed it! This was amazing, I appreciate it. As we all struggle to buy hair brushes, sorting them out which one to choose everytime. This video was actually what was just needed. ♥️

I just ordered this exact ceramic round brush (4,5 mm) yesterday to level up my blowout game and boy, am I even more excited for it now after hearing what you had to say about it! ❤️ You can do so much with just a hairdryer and a brush there's no need for any extra hair straighteners or curling irons.

13:40 - Straight/Slightly Wavy 13:55 - Curly, want to wear straight 14:15 - Curly, want to wear natural 14:35 - Straight/Wavy and Frizzy 15:11 - Straight/Wavy, want bouncy curls 15:42 - All hair types, want straight hair 16:08 - Curly, want to wear natural 16:50 - Bob haircut 17:07 - All hair types, just brushing out 2nd day hair

Brad should start a series called "Message to Mondo" where people film themselves telling their hair stories and he reacts to them. There are so many people in the comments telling their stories and I can't help but imagine Brad's reaction!

You are my hero. Thank you for this advice . My hair is so frizzy I never knew a simple boar hair brush would help me xx

I just discovered this video for myself, and it is the perfect blend of care and snark. I have fine hair and really needed this video.

It’s a known fact that round brushes can sense peoples fear

Brad Mondo is killing it with these tutorials during quarantine. Seriously... Thank YOU

I have natural curly hair and the Denman brush is a life-changer. I just use a curl cream and the Denman brush and my curls last all day. I don't know why I used to use curling iron thinking that my curls will last longer. All I needed to do was to embrace my natural curls and use the right brush.

Pretty sure the pin in the ceramic round brush isn't just for parting. Pretty sure that it's actually for the inevitable event when you get it so tangled in your hair you're actually considering cutting it off just to have freedom again. That way you can pick out the tangles and knots with the pin and free your hair, no cuts needed!

I want someone to talk about me the way Brad Mondo talks about his combs/brushes 😂

Its crazy how much id trust him with my hair like he could tell me he’s going to leave bleach in my hair for 2 days and id be ok with it

Thank you so much for this video oh my gosh. My entire life I've only used detangling brushes or paddle brushes and I hated how it always smoothened my curls but not even in a good way, it just looked frizzy and awkward and I thought the problem was just me brushing my hair but now I've realised the brush just did what it was supposed to do lmao I hope I can get a wide toothed comb soon✨

The second detangling brush was recommended to me by my hairdresser and it changed my life so much. No more pulling like crazy on my wavy hair to blowdry it 🥲

Brad introducing literally any product that has anything to do with hair: *ESSENTIAL*

“These are ceramic round brushes” No they are trauma brushes

Thank you! I got rid of one useless brush Ive had forever. My hair is totally different from in the past so this was super helpful :)

I’ve never in my life - thanks mom!❤️ - used a brush for my hair. Always used a wide-tooth comb for detangling my fine slightly wavy hair ☺️

Bold of you to assume that I have a brush collection Brad

Thank you, little RU-vid angel. Bought the Denman brush and am literally TRANSFORMED. ♡

Rewatching your videos now that I’m in cosmetology school and omg I love you so much! You actually try to educate 🥰🥺

Him: be gentle with your hair Me with a Mexican mom: O.o

Today I learned that different types of brushes for different hairs exist

Your videos provide a lot of excellent information - way more informative than the typical beauty video.

THE DENMAN BRUSH is great for curly hair and making the curls SPRING BACK. Brush in sections, bottom-up and give a little tension when pulling it through your hair. The slight tension will make the curls spring back when drying. Brush sections once or twice each and leave it alone. That brush acts like a ribbon does when you use a pair of scissors to get that curl like a bow. ya know what I mean?

I’m probably using the wrong toilet paper for my ass type too huh

Loved the video. Glad to see you recommend the Denman. I have been using one for over 40 years. I've only had about 4. They last forever. It's perfect for my thick hair and best of all it brushes all the way through to my scalp. Other brushes just skim over the top. I'm 66.

I had no idea. Thank you. I have cosmetologists in my family and still had no clue. I figured out paddle brushes on my own with my super thick and soft hair. Now I know how and when to use the others. Thank youuuuu!

Fun fact: The Mason Pearson brushes are also used for dogs, and you can get the EXACT SAME ONES in pet stores for half the price :-)

Brad: You're Using The Wrong Brush Me (bald): Tell me more...

My mother had a stock pile of Mason Pearson brushes, (thank goodness bc I lost 2 - my 20’s were rough) the best! 10000% worth it! Plus they literally do last a lifetime (she’s had hers for 50+)

Very informative video. This stuff is good to know ( I was using the wrong hair brush for over 10 years!) Thank you Brad!

At this point, I'm probably breathing wrong too.

Imagine him being your brother. Life would be easier and you would save a lot of money.

I listened and got a wide tooth comb and it changed my hair. THANK YOU so much :)

I thought the attachment in the round brush was for cleaning it. I learn something new everyday with you brad! I love you 😘

"These are essential to your brush collection" Me: **looks at my single brush that I got in 6th grade because it had a squishy handle**

I have curly hair and went to the “salon” my boyfriend goes to. I have 2c waves, almost 3a curls, and I was SCARRED FOR LIFE! First, I called in advance to ask if they can do a dry cut for curly hair, they said I could, then I got there, and she took me to a sink, gave me a protein treatment (I told her no silicones because I’m CG), dried my hair with a terry cloth towel and rubbed it to heck with it. THEN COMBED FROM THE TOP WITH A DANG RAT TAIL COMB. I did a reset wash when I got home, it took my hair 2 weeks to recover, this was in January, and I’m still salty about it, tbh. Sorry, this started off with me wanting to talk about rat tooth combs, but I needed to vent.

Learning a lot! Thank you! I have nice expensive products but have no idea how to use them so your videos have been very helpful for this long hair!

Just want to say I love your show I always find some really good information on it and I absolutely love your tutorials

When a mannequin's hair is healthier than yours. 👁👄👁

Did anyone else's mom use a paddle brush to yank out really bad tangles when you were a kid?

Thank you, this was a very well made video and I could listen to your voice for a long time, it's lovely! Thank you for sharing your expertise on here 🙏🏼😊

I think this video has just solved my "always greasy head and dry ends" problem! Fingers crossed I fix my issues with my hair!

“Most girls don’t know what brushes do what” Every single girl in the comments (including me): “I know the ceramic round brush is the spawn of satan”

Am I the only one that blushes when he says “Hi beautiful” like okay girly

This was informational and the presenter has great energy. I'm not even all that into looking nice or anything, I was just curious what all the brushes are about since there are so many types. Thanks for being educational! Easy sub!! :D

I actually have the round brush that you showed at home and thanks to you I now noticed the thing on the bottom of the handle😂, so thank you. I really love your videos they help me a lot💜

im sure everyone has gotten their hair or somebody else's hair stuck in a round brush. those things are scary and should come with a warning and instructions to keep out of reach of children.

i thought all brushes were the same they just looked different for aesthetic purposes 😳

as someone who gets oily roots quick this helped a ton! i’m really interested in getting a boat bristled brush now

What a great video! Another handy brush to have is a scalp exfoliating brush, such as John Masters Organics, for those who tend to be flaky, either from weather or product build up, etc. Use it on your scalp like you would use sandpaper on wood. Use it before you wash your hair which should be 2 to 3 times a week.

He just casually mentions the attachment on the ceramic round brushes like he didn’t just change my life. THANK YOU, BRAD.

Brad should do a series where we send him pictures of our hair and then he tells us what we should do to make it better

him saying he doesn’t use his paddle brush often whereas that’s the only brush i use 😭

First video I’ve watched, your voice is so relaxing! Love it

anyone who got the round brushes stuck in their hair is scarred

“Show your hair love and your hair will show you love back” *me who has never done anything bad to my hair and yet it hates me* :👁👄👁

i love your confidence Brad!!!

I love brads videos because they’re so informative but what I really love is how he does his intro then says so let’s get into it then leaves it’s so funny to me lol idk why is it just me? Love you tho Brad

Brad: a lot of people don’t know what brushes are right for their hair Me: picks up any comb and brush in the house

Brad really be out there teaching us more about hair than Google ever did

You're one of my favorite people in the entire world 🌎 ♡ thank you for You're amazing personality and great advice!

i love you haha! you bring laughter and fun into the hair industry thank you

When the mannequin’s hair is a 100 times better than yours

Brad: *shows different kinds of brushes and combs* Me: “a brush is a brush”

Wide tooth - thin tooth together is the ultimate win for my daughters hair 👍🏼 less fuss with knots 👍🏼

I love my antique brush on my wavy hair. It doesn't pull, tug,or rip through my hair. Yet I still get great control, volume and styling with it.

Me: *goes into the store and grabs the first black brush that I see* Also me: *nods very professionally at every single thing that Brad says in his videos*

I’m sorry, no one, not even Brad Mondo, can convince me that those round brushes aren’t satan incarnate straight outta hell.

Oh where do I start... First, I have DEFINITELY been using the wrong brushes. Second, you explained properly distributing the oils in your hair. I had a hair dresser once (Great Clips not so great...) who told me I had naturally oily roots and recommended product to help get rid of some of the oil. While my poor dry, split ends were so damaged that I had to get more cut off than I wanted. SMH. Last but not least, Brad you are amazing. I love you. You make me want to actually take care of my hair. I've always been an all natural, low maintenance kind of girl. Very little effort put in to my looks. But, you make it look so simple and actually make sense so I'm not getting lost trying to understand what you're talking about. I've fallen into so many RU-vid black holes watching your videos and I regret none of it. Looks like I'm going to start living my extra life.

this video gives me the feels with the Denman. The greatest man I ever knew, my grandfather, refused to use anything but a Denman. I always have one, but I barely use it. But still, having Brad Mondo lovin' on this brush type makes me smile. Thank you. xo.

The mannequin’s wig is so shiny and smooth, better than my own real hair.
