Hairdresser Reacts To Dreadlock Removal Videos

[@forrestmonarch7577]

My son had dreads for 8 years, they were down to his waist. He couldn't rest well at night anymore and would wake up with a knot in his neck. I told him to stop dreading the new growth, otherwise I'd have to almost shave his head. 3 months later we cut them off , he felt so much better he said he felt like he was floating. The dreads weighed 8.3 lbs. Great video Brad, love ya 💓

[@krisbreeze6324]

8 pounds that’s insane, must’ve felt soooo good

[@AlexandraG_]

Wow I'm sure he felt great getting rid of that weight!

Locs can be trimmed. Regular trims and maintenance would have relieved his pain…

[@forrestmonarch7577]

​​@@Desaundreathat's true, he started working as a large engine mechanic, it was too difficult to keep them clean even though he washed them regularly, also they were a safety hazard when working with engines with moving parts. The weight also caused him neck pain. Ty for your comment:))

I lost my mom to cancer & after that, I threw my waist long hair up into a bun where it stayed for almost 2 years. I would periodically work through the mats but didn’t really get anywhere. I went to the hair salon where I had 4 hair dressers working on my hair for over 4 hours. They were my saviors! ❤

As a black woman who has had her locs since 2019, I would just cut my hair all off and grow it back.The cosmetologist and certified natural hair specialist in me is screaming make a detangling mix! Water will shrink the hair back if you detangle with it alone. I have removed several of my clients locs in hours, not DAYS, HOURS with a mix that is mostly oil based. It is required to give slip to the hair and aid in detangling.

[@jessicafrith673]

What's the mix you use, if you don't mind me asking?

[@sheeniesheen]

Thanks for the information. I don’t have locks but after keeping my hair in a protective style for a little too long I also use oils to loose and detangle.

[@hanadoarte]

I used to have locks from 2016 to 2018 100% my hair no extensions, I did it myself and when I took them off with a crochet needle and a comb without anything else, I thought would be harder due to my C4 curls and the humongous amount of hair I have but it was relatively easy and was indeed surprised, I've been wanting to lock them again but at the same time I don't know if I want to spend 3 days locking my hair 🤣🤣 usually breading takes around 8-10 hours

[@zanobiasingsinc.1533]

As a African American female and licensed cosmetologist it’s better for ethnic hair with locs to use conditioner to detangle from experience and it helps with the breakage on the ends of the hair ❤❤❤❤ much love brad

[@Forevergreenclover]

I’m white with wavy hair, but once I got really sick for a long time. I couldn’t get out of bed and would often just let water run over me in the shower and lay back in bed with wet hair. I got a huge nasty dreadlock like tangle in the back of my head. All the way to the scalp. The only place willing to even try detangling it instead of shaving it off was a salon for African hair. Even they said it was iffy. A woman from Kenya and an African American woman worked on my hair for 6 hours and managed to actually get it completely out. They weren’t even gonna charge me the whole 6 hrs but obviously I insisted. I couldn’t go back to that salon cause my hair type isn’t their specialty, but I’ll never forget how they refused to give up even when everyone else did.

Depends on your hair tripe for kinky curly hair conditioner really does help since our hair is naturally more dry and removing it dry it more likely to break it than doing it wet. Plus the conditioner helps loosen up the hair and actually avoids breakage and that’s why it was easier for her to removing the hair

[@madeliner1682]

Straight hair is stronger dry, curly hair is stronger wet. Not 100% sure that's scientifically accurate but it sounds right lol At the very least, wet hair being more pliable helps the curly knots bend out of each other without breaking

[@Angel-xu3ul]

@@madeliner1682 all hair is strongest when dry and weakest when wet

[@sweets19911]

​@@madeliner1682fully agreed. Dangling curly went wet is faster, earlier and wayyy less breakage if any

[@madeliner1682]

@@Angel-xu3ul every place a hair strand changes direction is a weak point and a place where the cuticle lifts and therefore is naturally more porous. This is why curly hair is by default more brittle than straight hair, and why it's a thousand times easier to avoid breakage when the hair bends first when force is applied as opposed to going straight to snapping off at a weak spot. Since curly hair is also very opinionated about where individual strands want to lay, water helps the knot clumps be more open to suggestion on a new arrangement instead of having to literally pull a single strand of hair out of the knot at a time only to end up with a hundred de-knotted hairs that all want to go in contradictory directions and therefore re-knot themselves every fifteen seconds anyway

[@Desaundrea]

@@madeliner1682 the last young lady did NOT use water. She used coconut oil with absorbs and continues to soften and loosen her curls. That is why is was easier. Also it looks like she used a latching method to maintain her hair, so removing them is easier for her.

[@Widdekuu91]

We had a black girl in school (in 'hip' terms, I'd call her a main-character) that had weaves with braids (a lot of braids) and she'd regularly spend a lot of money putting new ones in. We asked her to show her natural hair, which she was a bit hesitant to do, but there's not that much "taboo" (youknow, judgement) on natural hair in my country, so that was not the issue. She was just a bit unsure, she hadn't done that in a long time, she was afraid it wouldn't look nice. One day, she wasn't in class. We sat down and were about to start the class. Then, there was a knock on the door. We said; 'Come in!' and the door swept open, but nobody was there. We all looked and stared at the door, which is when she dramatically put her head around the side and said; 'Hey whatsup?!' and she had her natural hair, with a golden clip and a golden statement necklace and a leather jacket. She looked like a goddess in modern times. We all screamed and even the teacher was speechless. I remember how she was striding to her chair like a rockstair, leaned back and said; 'Touch it!' and we touched her hair and screamed at how soft it was. The whole day, she was surrounded by a group of girls that wanted to look at the teachers reacting to her new hairdo and her outfit. And later, she started experimenting with her natural hair and started putting clips or glitter-application-thingies in there, I'm not sure, but it looked very cool. I don't remember all of my classmates and many were awful, but Wendy, was really cool.

[@jamalieh]

I will say that adding water and conditioner is more recommended for black and textured hair. Even finer 3b types will benefit from the slip of the conditioner. the issue of elasticity from water causing snapping may still be a consideration for chemically treated black hair but typically, coarser hair and the tighter curl patterns will break more from going in dry and pulling without any slip to loosen the curls from being joined together so tightly.

[@Sharie_mabari]

If you've got dry hair (like me), getting out knots with conditioner really is so much easier. There's specific conditioners that have great "slip", they are absolutely *necessary* for washdays for me. My hair gets tangled if I so much as look at it. Without a good detangling conditioner I'm gonna be detangling for 30 minutes or longer... no thank you! Conditioners with Marshmallow Root Extract are the best.

[@tomadumas2939]

Mold inside the locs is actually very common, it happens when the core of the locs does not dry repeatedly and yes, mold does grow in them especially if they are not super thin.

[@Freedomfred25]

Yes I knew a girl and her locs just fell out from the amount of mold

[@shaesmith3006]

The second girl , who had the locks for five years .. should have done hair baths more often. letting those locs soak in a “bath” of apple cider vinegar + baking soda + warm water, let sit for 30 mins or so it cleans the locks . It helps remove all that dirt and stuff from the hair

[@brooklyndecember]

Her hair was so umkempt!

[@codename495]

Mixing vinegar and baking soda neutralizes both and negates any real effect . Dissolve the sodium bicarbonate and a bit of soap in hot water, throughly saturate and agitate the locs, let the soak to soften and emulsify all the oil, dirt and nonsense stuck in the mats, then rinse very very throughly, then throughly saturate the hair with the acidic solution to neutralize the soap and bicarbonate and rinse very thoroughly again. Chemistry is chemistry, and cleaning something with bubbly water won’t work nearly so well as an alkaline cleaner followed by an acidic rinse.

Oh yea, washing dreads is a whole thing. First, I wet my dreads, used a residue free shampoo on my scalp, rinsed thoroughly squeezing my dreads like a sponge. I then rinsed with apple cider vinegar. It's been like 13 years since I had dreads, so I'm sure there's better products out now but the cider vinegar was crucial to remove any buildup inside the dreads. The most important thing is drying your dreads!! As soon as possible! It takes ages for dreads to dry and they need to dry inside. I sat out in the sun and used a hair dryer.

Omg I love Christina!! She’s one of my fav true crime KZbinrs, never thought she would end up on your channel!

I had one dread for 8.5 years and it started as a hair wrap on my naturally curl hair. I cut the wrap extension off and gradually spent an hour unlocking the hair. It was the longest my hair ever saw. To deal with the damage, I did a big chop and no more locs ever. My hair naturally locs up but I do CG and avoid brushes. Dentangler and leave in conditioners are saving my hair, especially after Thyroiditis thinning. Brad, we need Curly/coily X Mondo! We do not want to smell like coconut anymore please!!!!❤

The mold is from just regular life stuff. You shower to wash your scalp, the dreads get wet, and they're too dense to dry on their own, so they get mildew. I had a friend who bought one of those hot-air caps specifically to use after washing her scalp, and she was able to keep the mold mostly at bay, but it was never truly gone. This was white hair, though, and that's where my experience ends.

Ex-girl reporting in- braiding your hair in a zillion little braids is like. An entire love language from the aughties between girlfriends. I would 100% be down to help someone remove their locs

[@jeanninelockridge5235]

I loved the 2 locks in the front. They all looked great.

[@amidchaos5138]

I've had locks 12 years now. I cut them and combed them out three years ago. It took me 72 hours, it sucked so bad. My hair was still super long, super healthy. I put them back in last year.

Nnnoooooooo

[@MacGrump]

I started watching Brad to cheer myself up this morning, I kept watching more and more. *checks watch* Yup, it’s now nearly 8.30 at night and he’s uploaded a new one. I haven’t moved from my bed or watched anything else. I have a problem. It’s a great problem to have, but a problem nonetheless 😅 Happy Mondo Sunday 🎉

[@missbelle13222]

Oh to do nothing but watch videos morning to night….. don’t have a baby it will never happen again lol 😜

[@fynn2350]

I had locs for I think 5 years before they started to hurt my head whenever I washed them. It took them 1-3 days to dry and the weight of them wet was just too much, no matter what I did to try and relieve some of the pull. I did consider cutting them short and then brushing them out, but eventually decided to cut them all off. Kudos to everyone who goes through the detangling. You are much more patient than me.

[@Squidderrs]

Hey Brad! There are loc cleaning videos! Quite satisfying. You should rate those!

[@kathygreene9380]

Wow! I have to applaud all 3 ladies. The patience they had to do this. I would have cut partially an then released my locks. I couldn't stand all that time doing my hair. They turned out beautiful in the end! Have to say your looking great Brad! Loving the 5 o'clock shadow on you!

[@Vikki089]

Christina Randal is an amazing woman! ❤️✨ Been following her for 2 years now 🙋🏼‍♀️ 🌟 She's a crime history teller and she's one of the best one 🙌🏼 ❤️ Next to Mr Ballen of course 🥰 Love you Brad 💋 Sending all my love and support from Norway 🇳🇴

[@missbelle13222]

I’ve watched that mr ballen guy a couple of times but felt like his videos are made for kids, am I wrong?

[@chanelcosby380]

​@@missbelle13222definitely not for kids lol

@@missbelle13222 then you should hear some more 🙋🏼‍♀️ my kid is not allowed watching him 😂 try his last video 🙌🏼 much love ❤️❤️

[@katelyngloade6633]

Somebody probably already explained this but mold in locs can happen. It's more likely the thicker the locs are. What can be done to prevent mold is drying the hair well by squeezing every loc or section of locs in the towel (depending on size), possibly blow drying while they are loose on medium heat, and of course wash earlier in the day because laying down lengthens dry time and while awake you can walk around, go outside, get some sun and wind. ACV rinses once a year can also kill bacteria and clean locs out. Tea tree oil, I think can also kill bacteria in the hair. NEVER RAW DOG TYPE 4 HAIR!!!

[@wheeliemom3079]

I love these videos even though it makes me sad. I used to manage a Super Cuts, but I can't do hair anymore because I broke my back and it is impossible to cut hair from a wheelchair. I started cutting hair when I was 10 and got my license at 22 and did hair for 20+ years. Gosh I miss doing hair so much. I was a specialist in creative perms and wow I miss it.

[@brittyvegas9482]

To properly wash locs you should wet the locs. Put shampoo and clean the scalp and locs. The denser the locs the more shampoo you will need to lather up the locs. And you may need to repeat the wash 2-3 times to produce a good lather. You have to rinse them extremely well. You should not really use conditioner on locs as conditioner sticks to the locs. Use apple cider vinegar and oils if you want to add moisture to your locs or soften them. And it is very important to dry them very well with a towel.... If the towel gets too wet get a new dry towel.... And repeat the process until the locks are as dry as you can get them because leaving excess water in the locks is what causes mold.

[@theyadoremia3085]

how to clean you lock/ dreads: step1: put water in a hair bowl. step2: pour apple cider vinegar in the water while dreads are in the water make sure to get all over your hair. step3: put baking soda on all in your hair. step4: the get a lemon and squeeze the lemon juice all in your hair. step5: rinse and wash with shampoo of choice

[@spacecowgurl57]

There are professionals who care for and take locks out for a living. Its a very cultural experience. 🎉

[@YagmurTanrverdi]

Hi Brad, been watching you for like 3 years, just wanna say i appreciate your content and you never fail to put a smile on my face.ILY ❤

[@Kmaryd2]

I had locs for 13 yrs, and during a mentally low part of my life, I decided to comb them out. Took me 3 weeks, and 4 bottles of conditioner (mixed with coconut oil and detangling spray)..... boy was that one of the worse decisions of my life 🤣 I am 4 months into my new loc journey and I have been loving it ❤ I'm not going to let them go past my shoulders to prevent the neck pain 😅 one thing a realized is that the more mature the locs are, the harder it is to comb out. My niece had her 1 yr old locs combed out also and it took her mother 3hrs 😂😂

[@flagerdevil]

Brad, detangeling those aren't actually that bad. You can easily do it while watching a movie or talking to friends or what not. And in that case it's actually just kind of nice having something to do with your hands! 😁 It might look strenuous but it's just like combing your hair a million times.

[@MeowMeow-sy2mi]

I loved seeing their curls all being so healthy after!

[@sachachilton76]

Christina is amazing. She now has the most beautiful hair. She is also always so positive. I'm not surprised that she's so positive about it. My sister had dreads and she just shaved and started over.

[@star2705]

That last girl was _gorgeous._ Hair? Perfect. Face? Perfect. Voice? Perfect. I wonder how it feels to be that beautiful lol

[@LivvyAlexW]

Love Christina!! She’s hilarious and does amazing true crime videos! Also, she has a whole series about her experience in prison and her childhood

[@onlytaylorr_]

I was wondering why she looked so familiar

[@TeyaNekole1]

I feel like for type 4 hair, wetting it is easier cause it allows for the comb to glide through.. At least in my experience. And conditioner helps release the knots easier

[@QUADacityLyfe]

I've had my LOCS for about 8 years now. I love my locs and I have NO weight. When you maintain your hair appropriately they serve you well. Idk this is a touchy subject so I'll keep comments to myself. You guys have a lot of patience to comb it out.

[@CHERYLee-s6r]

I love Christina, I watch her youtube channel all the time.

[@hells_shells]

Same!

[@hells_shells]

The videos she's done about her prison time were so good and so emotional. She's such a lovely genuine person 💕

[@clarawallace7404]

I had dreadlocks for 5 years, 37 blonde, long down to the butt and gorgeous dreads. Took me 6 months to remove them all. Almost gave up many times but the feeling of running my fingers through my hair again was priceless. Washing tip: once every couple of months rubbing them with a little champoo, never conditioner.

[@chanmi1957]

I had long waist length hair for years. My hair is straight and thick. I decided it was time for a change so I cut it off to a shoulder length layered shaggy cut. I never had locks but I know how light my head felt after cutting it so I can imagine how much lighter their head felt after "unlocking" their hair.

[@agapelovepietas]

Hair is hair. We all have it and we should ALL be able to style it however we want without there being a problem. All of is cone from all over the world and we share our knowledge and cultures. Its beautiful and it brings us together. ❤❤❤

[@ci8516]

Idk what it is but Brad is looking like a whole SNACK lately

[@RachelSings21]

Agreed…he’s a total snack 👍🏻

[@muddymom]

All three ladies were beautiful, but the last lady's hair was stunning! Absolutely gorgeous.

[@RaeeUfSunshineeNYC]

That’s not mold, that’s product buildup. And you can detox your locs to deep clean them and take out buildup

[@karlaofferel4062]

Hi @Brad Mondo, I enjoy all of ur videos. I had locks on for 5 years as well, 80 strands to be exact, and it took me 2 weeks to take it down. I saturated each strand with coconut conditioner and it made the process easier it did not hurt my scalp at all

[@livingwithavery]

They all looked so beautiful and gorgeous once they took their locks out. They looked pretty with them and after without them, their also looked so healthy after and luscious. This video I loved, and I love to react to them while watching you react to them as well, so if I ever were to do my hair like anything in the videos you post I know how or atleast have some ideas and tips. I love watching you’re videos, and watching you react to the videos of people cutting, dying, etc, to their hair. Sending love and happiness. ❤

[@kandreasworld4374]

The last girl's hair is drop dead gorgeous! I am so very jealous. 😍

[@loulou1356]

When I brushed out my 3yo dreadlocks my hair was longer and somehow healthier than it had ever been. Only problem was it was so many different colours from where I’d bleached and dyed them a load of times and they’d shrunk and compacted 🤦🏼‍♀️
