I am obsessed with the results, it was so satisfying to watch! What do you guys think about the styling? Would you prefer to finish it with a flat or curling iron?

[@Ashissleepy]

Curlzzz

[@Nv.aly._]

Depends on the occasion if it’s a night out a good curl is always nice I think day to day a straight look is nice but overall her results were beautiful and I loved it

Not with the last girl though. She clearly needed quite the trim. I could tell from the beginning that it looked my dry and frizzy than it ought to be. I do appreciate that he is able to tell what hair is tighter coils(4c/4b) vs 4a even in its dry state.

[@bronxhoney1643]

Heavy on the our scalps are NOT tougher. We have regular human skin, not some tough supernatural exoskeleton. Our scalps feel pain, ergo the hot comb trauma, which I definitely have.

[@trophytrades8879]

i was thinking the same thing lol... our scalps are not tougher... it just takes skill to get that close, while moving quickly.. to get the heat away from your scalp before we get burned lol but the hot comb never touches the scalp lol

Brad as a black girl watching you educate yourself and make the best educated guesses on these videos makes me happy and reminds me why I’m a fan!

[@camiwhite2489]

This!!!

[@recklessmermaid]

I really loved Brads interjection about the shortcomings of hair schools not teaching how to care for all hair textures. My hair is just regular white girl wavy curly, nothing special, and yet I have learned more from black women online about how to care for my curly hair than I ever did from the hairdressers I paid to do my hair. It’s nice to hear hairdressers talk about how narrow their education is because I thought I was being extra until my last hairdresser straight up told me that I know more about hair care than she does. I appreciated the honesty but that was when I knew I needed to stop giving $100s of dollars to someone who doesn’t know the difference between moisture and protein. It should not be a special service or niche to see a “curl specialist” and pay well over $100 just for a proper trim. All respect to hairdressers but how is it just a one year program and then they’re set for a career of doing all types of hair?! It’s time the profession took itself more seriously and I sort of wonder what weird misogyny this is I understand taking special classes to upgrade skills or learn a niche trade but I’m talking about trained hairdressers who don’t know how to do a damn dry cut.

Watching Brad go into ecstasy watching a masterful artist work on hair is always a treat. Maybe one day Brad will open a line of hair schools, teaching how to care _all_ hair. Seriously, the way humans undermine a society of equality by limiting what should be quality services for all astounds me. Brad, darlin’, society needs you. ✨💖✨

[@kymania.c.915]

I know Brad is amazing, but most hairstylists/cosmetologists have specialties. His seems to be more so with color and straighter or wavy, maybe even curly hair. Kinky or kinky curly hair is a different ballpark as he states in many videos. Hairstylists do have to learn about all types of hair, but when they finish school they work in their specialty fields. Similar to the way we learn about history in school/college, but don't usually use every bit of information we learn after (best analogy I could think of). We have a general idea of the past and remember certain key points. Notice how he's learning while watching. My hair is similar to theirs, and when it's long I have to wash it in sections to do a thorough job without ripping my hair out, which is something he learned while watching those videos. He probably doesn't go into detail about caring for hair types he doesn't work with because he doesn't want to skip any details. He could hire people that specialize in areas he doesn't specialize in if he were to do a line of hair schools in that way. However, I don't view it as an "equality" issue personally, but to each their own❤ I think most hairstylists/cosmetologists just focus on their specialties.

I'm so glad you talked about hair schools not teaching students how to do black hair thus leading to TONS of hair dressers in the dark. It leads to a lot of "professional hair stylists" that don't know how to do all types of hair, it's always tiring and disappointing calling up these salons and asking for something over the phone and they say they can do it but when you show up they look confused and tell you they can't do anything that isn't 3A or looser. It's embarrassing for us but shame on them for not trying too.

You are so correct about hair schools. I have been a licensed stylist for over 35 years and have been an instructor for almost 20 years. When I went to school not much was taught about highly textured hair. Which was truly sad. But I made it point to make sure all my students were well educated on all hair textures. I now teach at a Paul Mitchell School and our curriculum includes all textures but has one exclusively for 3a-4c hair. This includes smoothing, relaxing, dreads, braiding, sew-ins, and to me most importantly proper coloring techniques for highly textured hair. All instructors are properly trained on how to teach this curriculum. Thank you for bringing to light about cosmetology schools. I always say hair is hair…you can get all textures and formations from anyone and as long as you truly understand “hair” you can be a great stylists!

[@Charmane73]

In 2002 I wanted to start a natural hair salon so I went to cosmetology (after my Masters, yeah everyone thought I was weird) and quit half way in because there was NOTHING on textured hair. I’ve been natural since 91, and where we were then to now is night and day. My 18 is able to maintain her beautiful coils.

I totally agree with you when you stated the cosmetology school don't teach it. I attended beauty school in Orlando FL in the mid 80s the class was 60% black. We asked for and got a black instructor, we all learned so much from each other bonded by learning about each others hair and culture.

[@justcallmedawn9332]

The bag/shower cap does 2 important things: 1. Keeps the hair from drying out before you get to the section to detangled again and blow dry it. (When blow drying natural black hair sometimes you will need to rewet and detangle some section before attempting to blow dry them.) 2. As you said, it keeps a barrier between wet and thoroughly blow dried hair. Our scalps are not tougher. Many of us grew up before flatirons and our parents had experience using hot combs. It was a revered experience and skill. You DO NOT touch the scalp. You get very close. If you have too much oil during hot combing it will steam and burn the scalp. I love the questions. I definitely go my hair pressed as a kid via hot comb by my aunt (1940's baby) and my mom (1950's baby).

[@glendagoodewright3438]

OMG, my little ear was just so crispitty & crunchetty fr 😮😢😂 Edit: Wanna know why black women have trust issues, period? Ask any of us about our hair horror stories or watch Chris Rock’s Good Hair. Many black women, including me, felt SO seen 😊. I’ve had a white woman relax (when I wore relaxers I got one every 4wks & kept my ends trimmed every 8 to achieve a look similar to the ones seen in this vid), trim & blow my hair as professional as anything. I once sat to just have my ends trimmed & left bc the poor white woman was trembling, and I’d had too many horror stories to wonder why this lady was so shook (maybe it was palsy) when my hair at that time was as straight as hers. I’ve also gotten up from black stylist’s chairs with brand new bald spots!

I felt horrible when black women came into our school salon met with incompetent students, only because the curriculum was exclusionary.

[@Necoh]

I went to Horst - the original Aveda school - back in '93. We had a "Highly Textured" section. Our teacher was actually thee Ted Gibson, before he became a celebrity stylist. The curriculum was ok, but they needed to to do better. Ted was great and gave the ones who would actually be doing black hair more guidance when we asked. It's a shame that Aveda Institute hasn't gotten better, but worse.

Same for me watching for this first time I think lol.

[@Saya_562]

Brad, the reason for the bag as she blow-dries is because once curly hair gets dry, it is super hard and painful to try to straighten it. So until she reaches that spot she wants to keep that hair wet so it’s easier to stretch.

[@mistytells]

I believe that’s what he said.

[@AnaSpeirs]

​@mistytells Initially, he said the bag was to prevent the blow dried hair from getting wet. However, he corrected himself when he saw the technique being used on the third customer.

[@velmafrezzell950]

Yup! Also, an important key to a great silk press is moisture! Leaving the cap on like this, along with the natural heat that comes from the scalp, helps the hair retain moisture longer. After her hair is pressed it likely won't fluff and frizz as quickly searching for moisture in the air, thus allowing her press to last longer.

I love the respectful & loving terminology you used to describe $ compliment our hair. Lots of time white people don't realized how offensive a lot or the words used to describe our hair is. Just because it's different than yours doesn't mean it's less beautiful but just that different. Thanks for showing these videos & being honest about what needs to change in the hair industry.❤

[@ZQueenOfRandom]

As a black woman wearing our hair straight often comes with such scorn, and some people assume it's fake. We also get accused of trying to copy white women, as if straight hair is a white phenotype. I feel like that's why we often put some sort of texture back into our hair after we straighten it. The straight look is pretty, but to me it also looks boring and basic.

[@eauneau]

Her skin is flawless and her hair is so powerful. I love it all.

[@mstiffany]

Nice never heard hair referred to as powerful

[@MaddieMadMoo1]

These ladies are so beautiful and their hair is completely gorgeous both when coily and when straight, they also have the healthiest hair I have ever seen. The amount of care and work the stylish puts in is unreal. It's all just wow!

[@Ilivedbih]

You've got nice curls as well

[@marcyoconnell2398]

So true bc I really really also love the before texture but I'm also a thick curly hair girl so maybe I'm biased

[@jilliansmaniotto2326]

I love watching silk press videos. I find them so soothing. natural hair is so beautiful and i’m amazed by the art and science behind caring for it.

[@harlempixie338]

Love your videos. Black women’s scalps aren’t tougher than anyone else’s. You know the motto, beauty is pain. 😫🥰

[@PorsheNichelle]

I’m glad you brought up the hair school thing Brad! I was mortified when I was in cosmetology school about 10 years ago and was used as the model for black hair. So my teacher had the girls watch her do my hair. She washed it and raked through my hair with a comb while soapy! it hurt so bad then when it came time to flat iron she slapped a heap of grease on my head!! Lord she about burned my hair clean off!! I had to stop her and tell my teacher and the class this IS NOT how you do a black girls hair! And demanded they get mannequins with similar texture hair.

[@LesTwinsSociety]

That sounds traumatizing as heck 😳

[@mrs.childers8333]

OMG i have almost straight hair and would never dream of combing my hair with wet soapy hair!!!! I am so sorry someone did that to you!!!! I know she ripped your hair out!

[@intellectualrebel5340]

​​@@mrs.childers8333I've got goddamn pin-straight boring average white people hair and if i tried combing it wet it would be a painful disaster with a giant ball of lost hair. I can't even imagine how bad it would hurt with curls. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I hope you kept at least most of your hair.😢

[@knotharmony]

So sorry this happened to you sister

[@Danielle_1518]

I love the naturally curly content! As a natural curly girl, it’s so awesome to see stylists appreciating how we take care of our hair. I thought it was sweet Brad thought the washing process was “a lot of work”😂 I was like this is a normal wash day for many of us💕 love you Brad!

[@notshortforjessica]

I’m black. I remember one time I wanted to get my hair cut and I went to a salon that you could tell didn’t have many, if any, ethnic clients. I ended up there because my mom and I had lunch at a restaurant next door. We figured my hair isn’t hard to manage and I just wanted a pixie cut so it should be fine. I think I was still getting relaxers done at the time so they wouldn’t even have had to deal with my natural coils. There was only one girl on the floor at the time and I told her what I wanted. She was white but again, I wanted a pretty simple cut so I wasn’t concerned. She said okay and went to the back to get whatever she needed, I assumed. A few minutes went by before she came back. Her boss came with her. The girl was BAWLING. Her boss apologized and explained that she didn’t know how to do my hair but was too afraid to say that because she didn’t want to offend me. I took no offense to it at all. I’d rather you tell me you can’t do my hair versus doing it and completely butchering it. They invited me to come back on a different day when the ONE girl who knew how to do ethnic hair would be working. I didn’t go back because I didn’t want to stress anyone out 😂 I felt so bad for her though. It wasn’t her fault. Cosmetology schools really do need to be more diverse with their curriculum.

[@marcyoconnell2398]

That just shows what type of girl you are( totally awesome) that you felt for the stylist, and I really do mean that you are a sweetie because truthfully that could have gone totally different if you weren't the empathetic girl you are. I'm sorry you had to go thru that

[@LethalLemonLime]

​@@marcyoconnell2398 I think most would have reacted the same way.

[@KathyeArrington]

I love the fact that you are willing to learn more about Black hair. I remember when I took me niece to a all white daycare with her hair put together all braided. When I returned to pick her up her hair was wild and in her face. She couldn't see. I asked the teachers what happen and I was told the one of the bands broke and they didn't know what to do. I was not happy. the least they could do was pull her hair out of her face. I had to take a few minutes to re braid her hair before taking my little nice home. Thank you for willing to learn more about Black hair!

[@dracovbeauty]

I went to cosmetology school and they definitely don’t teach you a lot of things people want, they only teach you the basics , but yes Brad the hot comb is universal in the black hair community lmao

[@hove785]

absolutely lol

[@M3Niki]

Idk why but watching a good silk press is so calming😌

[@Jasminedabs]

The curls are better for wrapping your hair at night which is usually needed to keep the silk press for longer. Definitely easier to wrap than bone straight hair.

[@diorashleybrown]

Yes! This! And Brad because our hair is naturally curly, the hair will end up curling in, and it would take a lot of maintenance to keep it completely straight.

[@loveisgolden4321]

I just commented the same thing, then saw your comment ❤ great minds, and all that lol

[@KianaTeal-uh1zk]

You can tell she is putting a lot of care into the overall health of her hair as well as styling it beautifully. Gotta love it!!!! 😍 🥰

[@moniquegaines5731]

“They were scared to come to me and I always thought that was so FUN! Because I had to prove myself to them….” It’s the perspective that is blowing me away. Having to prove yourself was fun. When you absolutely love what you do, it shows in more ways then the fact that you do hair. It shows on how you meet the challenges. “It was fun”. This is something I’m definitely going to apply. This was a jewel for sure ❤

[@vsailorsv]

Can we just….. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Celebrate black women Cause like the way yall can transform your crowns is wild. Babes I can barely get my hair to hold a curl anymore due to health issues but yall can rock so many gorgeous styles ❤

[@ambermcfadden3520]

Yes, that’s literally why we love our hair. The possibilities be so endless and our hair can hold any and every style. Quite amazing

[@danibaby]

I’ve always suspected you had a decent amount of black clientele at some point cause you don’t shy away from featuring the content and you understand what’s goin on with the hair when you narrate. One of the best silk presses I ever got was from a white woman. I was not tryna trust her at all but she came recommended. It’s good to know how to do all hair and be well -rounded. I agree, they should teach you how to do all hair in school. Satisfying video 😊

[@mayjeylca]

I agree he clearly loves hair and a person who loves hair loves all hair

[@teetee8654]

That is what healthy hair looks like shiny, beautiful, and bouncy

[@emilylee9894]

Thank you Brad Mondo for your reaction. Yes, you acknowledged how much time, energy & work that the styist ( most Black stylists) put into their service. I like to have my hair bumped/curled at the end because I look better with a fuller style and the curls will fall over time and will be straight eventually anyway. Yes, these stylists deserve to fairly compensated, especially when they are detailed and use quality products.😊

[@Sponty]

That's so true, I forgot it would technically fall to straight eventually

[@resaboutb.9566]

I love watching the quality of hair care Jennifer Cynthia provides her clients. But Brad's commentary is so entertaining! His adoration and admiration of JCynthia's work is extremely appealing! His squeals of delight made me genuinely smile and it's satisfying to see his appreciation of the texture differences of black hair.

[@mochadoes]

Thank you for featuring ethnic hair textures, and also some of the hardships we have to face related to our hair! It is absolutely so hard for us to find decent stylists that know what they're doing. We often end up having to do it ourselves. I haven't been to a hair stylist in over 3yrs. I just do it myself because everyone messes my hair up. I would love to see more transformation videos of kinky, coily, and curly hair textures ❤

[@colb9260]

This is the MOOOSSTT SATISFYING hair care video I've ever watched. Brad, I love your passion for hair. Thanks to Jennifer Cynthia for her patience, passion, and hair love

[@laurathornton2556]

As a cosmetologist I absolutely love heavily textured hair! I went to a school where we mostly worked with it. This is my favorite thing ever!!!!!

[@iMsOiNsO]

Brad mondo actually caring to view black girl hair types as well is just still so mind boggling to me you hardly see it and ik it’s many out there who are as genuine as a brad but I’m happy he has the platform to showcase that side

[@ijadaarp]

This is why I love Brad. He has inclusivity when it comes to his videos he doesn’t just watch white girls bleach their hair he also watches black girls get their hair straighten or bleaching , getting permed. And that’s why he’s always good in my book is because he’s not just sticking to one box he’s not limiting himself he’s also trying to broaden his horizons. He may not know a lot about Black hair but he still is an educated cosmetologist

[@hereforit2347]

I love Jennifer Cynthia’s videos and her channel in general! She does beautiful work and is so caring with her clients and their hair. LOVE HER!!! ❤

[@keshafarrar3187]

Brad I love your videos and I’m so happy you acknowledged the distress black women go through in these salons with trusting people with our hair and you are absolutely right. Also i recently tried your super red hair I love it and get so many compliments 😊

[@privateprivate5302]

He's so positive and uplifting I'm glad his channel continues to do well

[@venuskidd]

I love how excited Brad gets when it’s a coily/curly hair video 🥹🫶🏽

[@DH-hs8ic]

I greatly appreciate your comments about us not wanting to go to white hairdressers. I did it ONCE ... and during the blow dry I walked out. I said I forgot I had an appointment and I walked out with wet hair. And frankly I think she (the hairdresser) was relieved. We were both relieved.

[@lindasamba4816]

Jennifer is great. I got my silk press done by her about 2 years ago. The whole experience was perfect, and I didn't get any heat damage at all.

[@AhLizay]

I love that Guy Tang and you are able to do Black hair, so many stylists aren't; and yes, we do not usually trust other races to do our hair, especially for special events as most people aren't able to. Nothing is more disappointing than spending our money to get our hair done and leaving the salon worse than when we arrived.

[@dweems86]

The commentary, the feedback, and the amount of knowledge you have about our hair is really impressive 💜💜💜

[@lajescawoodardrealtor]

Yes…shampooing in sections reduces tangling!!

[@laural2868]

I love watching silk press videos and braiding videos! I could watch them for hours. It’s crazy that most cosmetology schools don’t spend very much time learning every type of hair in depth. I understand that maybe a separate course or certification class could be offered for something like maybe braiding or extensions but I cannot imagine spending all of that money and time at school and not having much knowledge or experience with every type of hair you will encounter.

[@IAMABUNDANT888]

Agree. My former beautician (She was Persian) intentionally went to a school that worked on textured hair. My sister's beautician(Guatemalan) did the same thing. Even though she works with people with straight hair, most of her clientele is black. She's awesome!

[@pourladentelle]

And imagine the amount of money tht could have been made just for being inclusive

[@edithart5753]

Trust me they don't care about blk clients at cosmetology schools. They spend about an hr or 2 teaching on it.

[@sheatheunicorn]

their before hair is so stunning and shimmery it’s crazy. I love the afters two, both looks are so different. True artistry.

[@Jess-hf9me]

Brad has inspired me for my next silk press to keep it bone straight no curls. I usually get curls cause its much easier to wrap at night (and wrapping keeps the shape and makes it last longer) but the visual of the bone straight on the silk press is quite satisfying.

[@KeivaJones-nf3jd]

Do both...curls and straight. I prefer curls

[@ruthbardwell19]

You hit it right on the nail about how hair schools need to widen the horizon on teaching how to style and color ALL hair types😊

[@missMediaChick]

I love watching Deeper Than Hair. She's taught me so much about how Black women care for their hair, and those amazing little curls make me 😍 Honestly, most hairdressers don't know much about cutting or styling curly/textured hair, regardless of the head it's on. I've had my curly hair (yes, my pic is the one time it was straightened, lol!) razored in inch long layers before I realized what the stylist was doing.... I looked absolutely insane when it was humid 🤦.... and just a lot of bad cuts. It never surprised me that I didn't see Black women at the same salons I went to. If the stylists there didn't know how to deal with my looser curls, they definitely didn't know what to do for theirs. I never understood why they weren't taught more inclusively.

[@naeb9486]

Yesss tell them girl! She’s literally a GOAT and she’s from Philly us Philly girls take our hair seriously! we love her!

[@missMediaChick]

@@naeb9486 She's got such an awesome energy about her! And I love how she defends people doing what they want with their hair. It's so weird that some people get angry in the comments because a stranger cuts their hair off.

[@starhamilton1072]

What I love about brad is he knows what healthy curly hair looks like … he seems educated on all hair types. And I would definitely let you do my hair and I don’t even go to salon .

[@sandrafaith]

As a white gal with stick-straight hair, I so, _so_ appreciate learning about hair textures that are different from mine. Thank you for featuring Jennifer Cynthia's channel-will be sure to give it a look! (The hair on these ladies was beautiful before, too!)

[@ohreally404]

Now you can see why we resort to wigs, because who has time to do all of his for a straight look

[@ReginaDillard]

The straight hair look is BOMB, but I like hair with body. It serves two purposes - the curls allow for more versatile styles and if you want to re-pin or roll the hair at night to maintain the style, you need to have a curve or curled end to start the pin-up. As for me, I like voluminous hair! Great job, JenniferCynthia!!!

[@tanyalh4486]

As a black woman with natural hair, this was so satisfying to watch. Thank you for featuring this. I had been contemplating cutting my natural hair but I’m definitely reconsidering now.

[@QueenZee101]

Yes , hot combs are a universal black experience 😂

[@dbrum1119]

Thank you for your story time. It’s hard for women of color to trust hairdressers that don’t look like us to know what to do. I appreciate you wanting to learn and enjoying doing. Thank you.

[@taml754]

Thanks for this episode Mondo featuring black women, black hair and the power of that hot comb on the edges? lol Yasss!!!!

[@milanimorales2645]

I recently got a silk press. I was content with my results, but I will say the best silk presses are on healthy hair. My hair was kind of damaged when I walked in so my stylist did the best she could. She trimmed a lot and now my natural coils feel way more thick and healthy. Healthy trims really make a difference between thick beautiful hair and sparse strands.

[@goofykriss6774]

Curls gives BODYYYYY!!!! So Curls is definitely my preference.

[@SHHISHHIE]

HER HAIR WAS ALREADY SILKY AND SOFT SHE JUST ADDED HEAT TO BRING OUT HOW NATURAAAALLL HER BEAUTIFUL HAIR IS….EAT IT UP BOO

[@cherrelleg8276]

People forget some people have silly textures and some more like cotton. It’s crazy how different our hair can be from one another and we are the same race.

[@TheSimmpleTruth]

I’m addicted to watching these videos of African American having their hair washed, dry and silk pressed. I am always at awe at the results. I am type 2 hair person and I don’t think I have ever gotten so much shine in my hair ever.

[@alexispollydore7964]

I remember being in cosmetology school and my friend Amie was the only white girl in our class that was determined to focus on learning how to do black hair. We taught her how to do corn rolls, braids with weave and over time she got better but man some of the customers were so mean to her and at one point our instructor stepped in and reminded the customer that she was getting services at the school and that this was a learning environment and that we don’t discriminate. The lady stayed and ended up liking her hair. She got better over time

[@Amagem81]

I get so tickled at how into these videos Brad gets! I respect the fact that Brad takes to learn about different textures much love ❤❤❤

[@nonalolagirl]

The curls help silk presses last longer and look better as it slowly looses the straightness. Plus when we wrap our hair at night it's not going to be bone straight down anymore. At least with it curly it's easier for it to falll right back into the original style

[@lexisingsforyou]

That is so satisfying! There’s something so magical about the heat changing hair so dramatically
