Rant incoming: It's not that he makes mistakes... it's that he consistently refuses to learn and throws ACTUAL curly professionals and women like India under the bus to make himself look better... The girl in his video practically laid out a red carpet for him to learn something from you or give you a shout out but he needed to pull a Mariah ('I don't know her') and act like he knew better so he can hoard hair video views. I used to be able to still enjoy him for bleach/color fails but every time he opens his mouth about curly hair it makes it harder... UGH.

[@emilysalazar3657]

Yeah I followed him until I realized he would never do videos for curly hair ☹️

[@connie2285]

Exactly; instead of just adding on his info or at least learning something, he basically just shuts it down which is bad bc his viewers trust him.

[@senlorandir9923]

@@emilysalazar3657 He does do them, he just then makes fun of people for doing things that they're actually supposed to do with curly hair/makes it clear he has no idea what he's talking about and has no understanding why something didn't work if it was a fail

[@lolofunslayer4953]

I will never forget the time Brad mondo said to brush curly hair dry. He had no idea what he is talking about when it comes to curls, it’s pretty hilarious that he acts like he’s a curl expert.

[@mrahzzz]

I think he's trying to learn. For example, in this video of his, he says not to cut curly hair wet, and not to pull on curly hair... as we know from Mell - yes but also no.... like, yeah, pay attention to curl pattern. Don't pull the strand down and then cut where you want to cut while it's weighed down... but pulling down is useful for seeing the spring, as Mell gets into, and cutting wet can help provide an even, longer lasting cut, especially if you plan on wearing your curls more straight or lengthened sometimes... So, he's obviously learned about curl spring factor and has that in mind as something worth considering. That's a win! But he's lacking some nuance and full understanding, it seems.

[@lolofunslayer4953]

@@mrahzzz I think trying to learn by commenting on other people’s mistakes is pretty presumptuous. He made an argument in his last curly haired video that he thought it was better to brush it dry not wet. There’s a difference between saying you’re still learning about curly hair and “I don’t know everything about curly hair.” No one knows everything, but he doesn’t seem to be trying to learn. Usually he seems to be acting like he has some knowledge of curly hair to offer others, but he doesn’t even know how to brush it. If he really wanted to learn about curly hair he would watch someone like Mell and perhaps take curly hair specific classes instead of going on about his 10 years of experience, almost none of which is on curly hair. He also markets the crap out of his curly hair system, which doesn’t even include a gel (so it’s really only gonna work on wavy hair, classic).

[@mrahzzz]

@@lolofunslayer4953 "There’s a difference between saying you’re still learning about curly hair and “I don’t know everything about curly hair.”" Oh I don't know that I see the second phrase as too different from the first, personally. I'd certainly interpret it similarly to the first. Could depend on context, but that's not a statement that I think is worth nitpicking. That said, I don't watch his videos religiously - I've only seen a handful of his "haircut fail??!?!?!?" videos over time, so from that perspective it seems like he's learned and listened and improved, which I think is a _great_ thing for any of us to try to do. Perhaps you know him better than me, though! I still give him credit for seeming to improve :)

[@tarynriver]

@@lolofunslayer4953 most of that experience was in his dads salon cause his dad owns a salon so rly his experience is probably less than that cause he’s in his 20’s and I doubt he was styling hair without a license lol

This gave me a flashback to the time I took my daughter to get her first haircut. Despite my warning about how curly the front of her hair got, the stylist cut her bangs right at brow level. Poor child had a roll of hair at her hairline.

[@elizabethbennett5203]

this happened to me around 8 yo. I looked like a pastry boy on the front of a box 😂

[@daileighnovember]

omg! this is y im thankful for diy. I always hate going to a hairdresser not a mean way and I don't try to hold them to responsible for it because I know that sometimes I simply don't know a whole lot about what I'm saying or how to explain what I want and I'm kind of had that problem my entire life but also knowing my curly hair and how it's different and different areas such as like you said in the front and the hairline it's healthier so it's curlier and kinkier I hate getting my haircut somewhere else it never turns out the way I want so I just do it myself and take a chance and then I have no one to blame but me!

[@KJellyBeanut]

This happened to me as a kid, I clipped it back until it grew out!

[@KerKhent]

Unprofessional. At the end I decided on a haircut style and I go to the same lady and I never go beyond my nose for bangs. If I go for eye level welcome bothersome bangs.

[@bleuschat4386]

Been there, had that happen- to me! The stylists literally gathered around me while my stylist showed them how "funny" it was when my wet, cut bangs dried up short and geeky. My mom had no idea what to do with my hair, as no one did in the 60's (or 70's or 80's). Being born before blow dryers, I would take the hood off my mom's hair dryer and use the hose as my own rudimentary blow dryer to pull my bangs down when drying. Who knew I should have patented my idea!

[@kakiclements4581]

This is the first time I’ve heard Mel (or any curly expert) talk about curly hair methods that are “less than perfect” (wash and go, Denman brush, rake and squeeze), and it was really validating. Thanks for making me feel seen and less like a curly failure, Mel! 😊

[@sccorde]

Hey seesters, I would LOVE to see a video on "professional" hairstyles for curly hair. All too often I feel like my curls are seen as "unprofessional" and feel like I either need to wear my hair in a bun, braid, or straightened to make myself look professional :(

[@maudernart5246]

Hold up. The reason you (not just YOU but anyone who feels like that including me at one point in time lol) think of textured hair as being unprofessional is almost definitely due internalized white supremacy, it's basically unavoidable as an American. I mean think about it, what could possibly be unprofessional about the way your hair grows out of your head, fresh from the shower? I mean, perhaps if your mane is so enormous it's overflowing into your neighbor's cubicle that could be valid, but unless you've got an awful boss who tells you to wear it differently I say do it however you like it!

[@Eiffel-re4cv]

Yeah, the mentality that your natural hair or curls or even protective style is “unprofessional” is a form of discrimination and oppression. Same goes for requiring women to wear makeup at work for the sake of “professionalism” which is sexist and rooted in a gender binary. Bottom line, it’s a DEI&B issue and any hairstyle you see on straight hair, you can also wear on curly hair. Just because the texture is different, doesn’t mean it’s unprofessional ❤️

[@emilyfurda]

A friend & I were talking about this once. We are from 2 different ethnic backgrounds & obviously have different hair texture and curl pattern. Sometime we’d get the “that’s not professional.” Talk from someone, usually someone not in charge. We let them fly free & we got attention, in a good way. People paid a attention because they wanted to know how we kept them curly and healthy. If your workplace has no policy go for it. Sometimes adding a wide head a band can help. It draws attention to it instead of your hair until you feel more like you fit in your own hair.

[@M007ell]

your curls are professional! don’t let anyone tell you otherwise

[@maudernart5246]

Side note--my current boss is a black man and he always compliments my hair. He's the only manager I've ever had to comment on my hair aside from the woman who told me I looked better as a fake blonde rather than my natural brunette 🙄 He's also the only non-white boss I've ever had and I don't think it's a coincidence

[@Gardeningishardinarizona]

It might be nice to show an “alternative curly styles” slideshow-like people who rock a curly SHORT bang, or curly mullet, etc. Hairstyles that go against the rules but still work somehow :) Love your channel!

[@baconcheesepizza3216]

Korean curly girl here 👋🏻👋🏻 ive watched brad's videos when i didnt know my fuffy hair is actually curly and now i religiously follow mell's methods. I love brad too but watching brad's videos about curly hair feels like watching a random white guy runs a korean restaurent. He just need to admit that when it comes curly, he is not the expert.

[@emilyfurda]

I used your tutorial when I realized my wispy bangs were cute, but I wanted them a little heavier. My stylist did the wispy. I appreciated her doing that. We can always add more. I’ve used the principles many times. You make them easy to apply elsewhere. Not to mention to cut my bangs when I let them grow way too long. And I LOVE my bangs. Personally speaking, I think Mondo knows if he says Manes by Mell, the curlies are coming for him with tangle teasers in one hand & strong hold gel in the other. Someone needs to untangle his lies, then make sure he cannot get out of place. 😏.He might not get followers, but he gets views comments. I’ve never liked that tactic. Mell, you & Amanda have your followers because of the content, & even more so, your hearts. Yes, this is your career, but you chose it so you could help others we can get a lot of curly hair advice, but not your hearts, not with your knowledge, with your personalities, and not with your style of teaching. This comes from your heart, not just something you two do & it shows. You truly are Hair for us. I’ll never forget the one DM you sent me in reply to a question. You told me the next day you were going to post a new cut & it could work. It was the universe cut. I actually borrowed from pigtails, your unicorn & universe to get the look I wanted . wanted. I desperately need it colored & highlighted. I sent my stylist a pic. Even with bad lighting she said how healthy it was & noticed tighter curls. This is all thanks to you both. 💜

[@kivzzzz]

Some people like you, Mell, are saving people's curly heads. For free! Others are highly opinionated and loud even though they don't have the proper knowledge or experience. I'm thankful for you. I pretend to not see the rest.

Brad Mondo is sooooo Jealous of Mell & it's sooooo sad🤣 Any video he's done on curly hair has hundreds of comments from curlies saying he doesn't know what he's talking about so now he comes for Mell😂

His jealousy is so stupid cause by now people know his attitude and lack of knowledge when it comes to curly and kinky hair. So if he had chosen to be honest and give credit to actual professionals he could have regained followers and business with people ready to give his products a chance after seeing he was committed to be better and make good quality products. But nah, he makes petty comments and petty videos 💀

[@mrahzzz]

Thanks for clarifying these tips, Mell!! One tip with all the haircutting vids that I'm interested in having clarified is the whole "comb on the head to determine where to cut the bangs/front section" thing. Where do I set the comb? Hairline? Middle of my head? One inch back? Back a distance depending on the curl circumference? That one has me confused (and may be part of where the first girl you feature in this vid went wrong, what with her tiny section for her bangs), so if you could elaborate a bit/explain it a few different ways next time you do a cutting vid, I'd love that, personally!

Haha, WE LOVE YOU MEL, (AND SEEESTER TOOO!!!)♡

[@sarahreay16]

I'm so ready for a cut ✂️

[@jessg.829]

Saaaaame! I had one scheduled for last week, but my stylist got sick and now I have to wait 2 more weeks! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@piff7642]

I never leave a salon totally happy with my hair. I want to get good at cutting my own hair. Do you have a playlist of your hair cutting tips? I’m not sure if I need to use a good pair of shears or if I can get a good cut just by following the right technique alone. I want my hair to basically be constant, consistent layering but have always left feeling like my layers aren’t cohesive and keep wanting to grab the scissors but I’ve made my hair worse in the past. Just want to do it right! My hair is almost at my shoulders when curly so I don’t have a lot of room for error!!

[@sarahreay16]

Sat waiting thinking why haven't you started yet???? its 7.00pm in the UK 😭😭 see ya soon x

[@ManesByMell]

omg thank you for watching

[@yana1248]

Not him trying to come for you again lol. I think he knows more about other hair types. Mine is kinky curly. I cut my hair to make bangs with your video, they came out great when I styled. So your video was very informative.

[@FlowerPower-cf2fp]

I hate drama and prefer drama free spaces, but what is his problem? The first time I just thought he was misguided now it seems deliberate. Anyway your video was a very diplomatic "response". Always keeping it classy seesters! And yes curly bangs can be wispy.

[@haley15]

What type of bangs do you have? I would love to get something similar but im not sure jf they would be considered full bangs or curtain bangs?

[@cheryljoaquin6023]

I just want Mel to come cut my hair! Trying to find a stylist who has wavy/textured hair experience that actually has an opening is brutal.

[@Tay80085]

Such a "Brad" lol he has issues. Love ya Mel ♥️

[@motagrl]

We love Mell and her advice! Bye, haters!

[@me-bt4zo]

I've been genuinely trying with my really curly hair for 7 years and sometimes it looks good and sometimes bad. I'm so tired of how much money and time it takes and I can't garentee after a three hour wash style dry it will look good. I'm planning to shave my head soon cause I'm just so tired

[@ivyquainoo2899]

Dang, I‘ma continue watching both channels. Brad never said he’s an expert or very versed on curls and Mel is clearly an expert when it comes to curls. 🤷🏿‍♀️

[@zoe4514]

I cut my curly fringe(bangs) in February and I was finding stragglers for like a month so don't feel bad if you're the same 😂

[@alisalaska1786]

When I saw how he diffuses, my suspicions were confirmed 😆

[@Meh-fn3ol]

Can you please please please do a video on styling the back of the hair especially for girls that have shorter hair. My curls never want to clump in the back, especially the crown area. And I sleep with a bonnet and satin pillow case and the back of my head is always a birds nest!!!!! Or all the curls just turned flat. It's a pain to try to fix the back every single morning

[@ThePLprincess]

What lipstick are you wearing sis😍

[@lxlalxve]

I’ve even had my bangs fucked up by a professional and had to go in and fix it according to your tutorial. Soooooo…. What’s the shade with him? Cuz you have and know how to manage curly hair…. Chiiiile… anyways…. I love you Mel.

[@thatschaosbaby3006]

Hey Mell! Great video 😊 Question: is there a resource for finding curly hair specialists in specific regions? I don't have any curly friends in my area, so I would just be going off Google to find a stylist

[@AshleeUnfiltered]

There's lots of ways to find a curl trained stylist! If you see a curly out and about and you like their hair, ask them where they go for cuts. Check out the salon/stylists social media and book an appointment if you like their curly work. While I'm not a fan of Deva Curl products and don't follow the CGM, you could search for a level 3 Deva stylist. Many of the curly stylists that I follow online who I would consider excellent curl specialists stylists were once trained by Deva and then branched out to obtain other trainings and perfect their craft. If your town has an area Facebook page or group, ask there. But ALWAYS check the stylists social media. Loads of straight haired folks and ppl w curls that don't look good IMO like to chime in...that's harsh but it's been true in my experience.

[@thatschaosbaby3006]

@@AshleeUnfiltered thank you!

[@crissybby111]

Hey Mell, can you show a tutorial on your stories or here for those with thin fine hair but are curly girls??? Pls & ☺️ thx

[@rachelfishbein1478]

Xena will always beat Hercules, and Manes by Mell will always beat Brad Mondo. #facts 😘

[@aleaguilar999]

But damn, why does your hair look so cute🥲🥲, no really the half pony looks so good😁

[@Emilymk97]

Anytime I see him and curly hair I respectfully want to say sir you're an awesome colorist, you work a straight hair canvas beautifully. We curlies have been managed by straight hairs for too long, let the curlies manage the curlies. Bless his heart, he means well.
