The easiest explanation for toner versus dye is this: Dye will shift the color of your hair up or down (lighter or darker), while toner will shift the existing color along the spectrum right to left (warmer or cooler). Hope this helps someone who may not still understand.

[@shannondrake318]

Wow that’s a great way to help people comprehend toner vs hair color. Just like when your editing a photo.

[@Kaitygirlrocks]

I watched this after getting highlights and I now understand why my hairdresser gave me something I didn't think I asked for... I wanted partial saturation balayage and for it to be cute and subtle natural tones (I literally showed her the exact photo Brad used for partial saturation on the left) but instead she gave me large sliced highlights up to my roots in a platinum ash tone. I left the salon in tears because the difference was a lot harsher than I wanted.

[@cynthialee2561]

That's awful!

[@lucky0197]

Girl, same same. I’m still soo mad but nothing can be done. U can wait abit then try again if your hair feels healthy enough. Mine is fried! Also always ask if they use olaplex at the salon or not!

[@amansrankhangura]

How do you manage the bleached hair, which always tangle! mine are good looking but falling. Hair wash days scary these days. I wanted something that needs less maintenance instead i got into mess for I don’t know how long! Any solution to avoid tangling?

@@amansrankhangura use anything with plex technologies, I use the whole olaplex line, it's expensive but I only buy the whole lot once a year, and I use cheaper plex products in-between, and my hair feels amazing, also have you heard of L'Oréal dream lengths wonder water? It's absolutely phenomenal, you leave it on for a few minutes, it gets warm whilst it's activating, and when you rinse it out follow up with a leave in conditioner, use anything that gives you moisture, also in-between that, use something like aphogee protein treatment, because your hair needs a balance of both moisture and protein, if you have more of one or the other, then your hair goes extremely dry and knotted, these products should definitely help x 😀

[@kimiakaguerard1000]

Time Heals , clever. You crack me up!

[@lovehelen]

In Paris (where all is beautiful but blonde hair of any kind will be murdered), balayage is used by french hairdressers to describe any kind of highlight and by highlight I mean saying your roots aren't long enough even at your cheekbones and by highlight I mean drenching your entire head in 40 percent volume bleach whilst claiming there is no such thing as a toner/gloss/colour.

Tip: if you have VERY fine porous hair, for some reason, they absorb the toner even if it is a lighter color. Tested on myself. You basically can color your brown hair almost blond with just a toner. Go toner and don't bleach (if not for highlights).

[@ellen5276]

I love my fine porous hair for this reason - it takes dye and toner so easily. I have lots of grey and it is zero issue to cover it and keep it covered! But on the other hand.. if a hairdresser who doesn't understand it gets near it that "light brown" hairdye ends up black on my hair.

My hair stylist combines a bunch of baby-lights, then sat.balayage, and then a shadow root. My natural hair color is a very dark cool brown, which I don’t love, but I go a long time between coloring my hair, so I like it to grow out looking as natural as possible (hence using a shadow). I end up with a lovely sandy beige “BRONDE”, so shimmery and lovely! (My profile photo is not a reference, that was a bright yellow blonde I had years ago).

[@jayrockhammer]

BRAD THANK YOU FOR CALLING IT A ROOT SHADOW AND NOT A SHADOW ROOT! 1. Babylights are the biggest waste of time and usually cause breakage when doing a retouch as its impossible to follow the lines. 2. Balayage means "sweeping" derived from the verb "balayer" which means to sweep. 3. Hairpainting is the way to go and much less time consuming. Check out the whittemore House in NYC were the first hairpainters and invented the root shadow back in 2006.

I seriously need Brad to save my hair! I was in a bad car wreck two years ago in Oct 2017. & this wreck took my ability to walk for two years(still not fully walking with out assistance or I am in my wheel chair.) Was supposed to lose my leg and I have had 25 plus surgeries/procedures to get my leg to be saved. Lost my entire ankle joint and 2 inches of my tibia! Now that back story is out there. My hair is DEFINITELY showing the medical/medications/anesthesia/ect that I have had administered to me! The trauma made hair fall out right after my wreck. & when I was in the wreck I have Looooong beautiful, naturally curly, bright Red hair. I went to get the red out because I couldn’t afford to keep up with it after not being able to work anymore- due to losing my ability to walk. So.. needless to say. It has been bleached, stripped, bleached some more, toned, I had a Malibu done as well. Now, I have light orange, brown, blonde, blue, silver, golden blonde, ect in my hair. My roots are the darkest blonde and the lightest brown you can have, almost a mouse brown with streaks of all these colors I recently listed! I seriously need help.. I lost so much hair already from this entire process. I know it takes forever and many processes to get Red out. But, in all seriousness. Can we make appointments with you? Ugh. Hellllpppp me. 😩

Thank you for a really informative video! I go to a stylist who is not only a genius with the scissors, but a colour expert. As I have short hair, she uses baby-lights, two-tones, and gives me a flattering auburn blend. As I'm in my mid-fifties, she makes me look at least a decade younger, it is such a flattering style!

I went to the hair salon today and got a balayage and it’s platinum! I told him I wanted highlights but like triple the amount he would normally do and he said so like a balayage and I was like sure! I’m in love with it and it’s pretty much white! I’m in love😍

[@salutetothestars]

are you naturally blonde?

[@laurenroberts9992]

This was so helpful! Literally about to go in for some highlights and now I know how to ask for what I want 👍🏻

[@katn6619]

Fun Fact : "Balayer" in French means "to sweep" (like with a broom) :-D "balayage" means "sweeped" or more literally "a sweeping" :-P. 'J'ai balayé le sol' - 'I sweeped the floor'. "Un balais" = "a broom".

[@TheRainbowDragoness]

Last time I went to a stylist: Stylist: We could do some highlights and really bring out your waves. Me: Screw that, make it all purple.

[@monicahill4765]

This is exactly what I needed before my hair appointment 💕 thank you angel

[@nameislani_]

I wish I could see images on curly hair as well to know what to expect from the salon

[@shyandagger4135]

I feel like I’ve hit a brick wall with my hair. I want to just sit in your chair and let you work your magic. Transform me. 😩

I'm getting my hair done today for the first time ever... I only ever dyed it once with an Arctic Fox dye almost 7 years ago and that washed out in a month .-. I was so nervous and had no idea what to begin to ask for but thanks to your videos I feel allot more confident

[@adrianapastora1507]

I’ve never seen any of brads videos and then yesterday it popped up on my timeline, I’m obsessed !!! Been binge watching during this quarantine 😂❤️😀

YES PLEASE

[@graceofspades48]

AGREED

YESSS💗

[@erinmoore9681]

If I’m not mistaken, the same procedures apply, just with curly hair, you’d start with straightening it first

[@cheyenne1082]

Erin Moore that makes absolutely 0 sense. It wouldn’t look the same curly as it would straight. And not every curly person wants their hair straight.

[@noizkapow1134]

A few years ago I decided I wanted blue hair and I bleached my hair myself. And I was like omg why is my hair yellow? But then I remembered color theory and dyed it dark purple and it turned into a pretty ashy blonde. I was so happy. xD Yay for toning.

[@elliott209]

I thought you wanted blue?

[@lisasmith8484]

@@elliott209 you need a white blonde base if you want to go bright blue, if she put blue over the yellowy colour it would have gone green!

Brad Mondo got a look going on, We heart it.

[@natalietoledo212]

Brad, 1. Your hair looks AMAZING 2. You have literally taught me so much about hair, thank you

[@alexandraanghelemery3465]

You can comunicate perfectly, bring pictures and still have something done that you didn't want

[@Foofie2005]

Thanks! You’re a great teacher Brad 💇🏼‍♀️ Balayage is a French term for Sweeping the colour. I think this will help a lot of us to know what to ask for on our next salon trip!

[@tannergrinzel5123]

Some people do balayage with foils called foilyage

[@olliblake2410]

I love how your hair is done it really brings out your eyes

[@tiaking234]

I legit just asked my hairdresser for “bare highlights” and she gave me what I wanted sooo?? No fancy words needed 😂😂

[@BradMondo]

Tia King what the f are bare lights?? Ahhaha

[@DANNYTHEFROG123]

Say what ?

[@blond009]

Tia King same , a few years ago I went to dye my hair for the first time. I had no clue of what the fuck should I do it so obviously I went to the hairdresser . They picked a nice color and now every time I go I just sit and let them do lol

I get a full head of highlights everytime I go to the salon. I love them!!

[@blond009]

Lady Steele yes , for example I get them blond and my whole hair looks full blond, but the highlights still pop. But it looks good if you do it right🤷🏼‍♀️

[@MsSonja75]

Root melt is another technique where you take the darker color about 3-4" down from top of the head, on an angle. It is used to create more natural looking highlights.

[@butterflyliondance1111]

Thank you, it helps. The worse is, which is common, when you show pics and explain. Stylists are so busy indulging in their stories, with emotion that they don't fully listen, are not grounded and cant recall - so most times it doesn't end up like you had asked. When I asked for face framer highlights, I ended up with subtle darker flat 'morticia' front and dimensional hair in back instead, removing all the ranges of highlights I naturally had. Thats no bueno. But you end up leaving with your wallet lighter and now you have hair memory of all their drama. Our hair is an antennae, not to be absorbing someones' frustrations about their lovers etc. It is terrible to let someone leave with bad energy into the strands. I will not go to a stylist ever again. Maybe you'd be different Brad - but It's too common of a scenario.

[@mrocks1010]

Why was this made literally the day before my hair appointment to get highlights

I found this literally after I went to the salon 😭😭

[@jennam8401]

ahhhh I see now! I've been asking my hairdresser for balayage full saturation look but she's actually been doing tons of babylights - I was wondering why it didn't seem like the ends were strong colour

[@lj.3589]

Love this video. PLEASE go into more technical details about root shadows and how you like to do them. Sounds fascinating.

[@rebeccalauren]

I wish I had seen this video before I went to the hairdressers! I asked for a subtle balayage on my naturally dark hair and came out the salon with big, brassy highlights and yellow-ish pieces all over 🙈 THIS is why we go to box dyes...because at least it’s cheaper if we screw up 🙃

[@Bybeccaboo]

Rebecca Lauren same thing happened to me a month ago!

[@amansrankhangura]

Same thing happened to me! moreover, i wanted balayage as i heard its needs less maintenance . However, my hair are so tangled all the time. And falling out even after I combed it multiple times which never happened to me before Balyage. I am just waiting to grow out the bleached hair and have my old natural hair back. Anyone faced tangled hair? What did you do? I really need to know!

[@gocowboys51411]

@@amansrankhangura after getting what you got done did you use purple shampoo? It is a must after trying to go blonde. I went with a friend and got one and I have medium a little on the darker side brown hair. The first time they got it pretty light but yes, it had yellow patches. I never experienced some excess tangles in my hair but you do have the occasional 5 hairs that might come out in the shower which always happened to me... I had to go a second time to get it touched up and blonder. Well, they got it blonde. Now I want blonde hilights in the middle of my hair all of the way up to the top but it's going to come out yellowish I'm sure and the bottoms will be that platinum that I achieved on my ends! My friend convinced me to go again on the 16th😒 and I'm going to see what they say. I don't know how they will make it blend in. Salons are so expensive for nothing!

[@henrysmith180]

@@gocowboys51411 How did your hair appointment go? Did you get what you wanted?

[@gocowboys51411]

@@henrysmith180 NO! Salons are so quick to say oh, I don't want to damage your hair.. you shouldn't go any lighter. I said cut my hair an inch and I'm out of here. I got my friend to bleach it and we started at the bottom instead of the top and biiiiggg mistake. Since the brown was mostly on the top of my head we should have started there but we did the bottoms and she rushed the top. By the time we got to the left part of the top my underneath was about to fall out! Lmao it's not to bad but from now on a salon won't do it and no more bleach for me. My ends were literally falling off and I was screaming. Thats when I went for a cut 😆😅🤣

I love your videos but after talking to my mom about highlights, this one was recommended to me and it was so helpful!!! I've never dyed my hair before so this will help me explain what I want done. Thanks, Brad!!!❤

Thank you! Best video I've watched today regarding hair lightening. I've been wanting to go blonder for so long.
