Hey ladies this is Erica Johnston and welcome back to my channel today I'm going to be
following Brad Mondo's air-drying technique and I'm so excited because for
those of you who have watched my channel for a while you know that I'm searching for
ways to show my waves off without having any frizz and all of a sudden I noticed
Brad's video popped up on my feed so I had to go and order his products
instantly they came really fast and they came in this really adorable shiny
package and let's take a look at what's inside so excited all right we've got
his wave tech wave foam and I ordered his salty sea spray looks like the cap
came off so I did message the company and find out if these products are safe
to use on gray hair and they got back to me right away and they said they are so
I'm very very excited so without further ado let's follow his routine hi
beautiful you look fabulous well you look fabulous
every day nothing new here thank you for being here though you might be a
seasoned vet on air drying your hair perfectly you might be like Brad I
already know everything there is to know about air drying my hair maybe not after
today you might also be that girl or that guy who says no no no no no no no
my hair gets frizzy its unruly it gets nasty I don't have any wave pattern I
made her tell you today that you aren't wrong anybody and everybody can air dry
their hair and still have it look beautiful glossy shiny wavy and did I
say perfect well perfect of all my years doing hair I've never come across one
single person who can't be taught how to air dry their hair properly effectively
and still have it look fabulous and gorgeous with absolutely no heat and
very very little effort now this whole process involves having the right
products and the right technique if you're not using products to air dry
your hair that's so embarrassing I feel bad for you and if you are and you're
not getting the right effect you're looking for maybe you're not using the
right products and maybe you don't have the right technique we're
gonna review my three easy ways to air dry your hair and we're also going to
review my three favorite products to air dry your hair and things are gonna get
spicy so by the end of this video you'll be able to give yourself those perfectly
flawlessly defined speech waves at home if you're ready I'm ready let's get into
it I want to preface this video by saying a few things to start these three
three techniques can be used on any hair type or texture it's up to you to try
the three of them and see which one works best for you
some people might really hate one of these things it might really not work
for your hair type but I'm pretty confident all three of these will work
for any hair type or texture from my experience it has but hey I've been
proved wrong before and now to really begin today we're talking about a brand
new X mondo product and if you follow us at ex mono hair on instagram you've seen
it already and you know is fabulous it is called salty sea salt spray she is so
beautiful and we just look so cute together like
Hello we on the convo with a salty let me kill it too and another product we'll
be highlighting today is wavetech I know a lot of you guys already have it and
thank you I appreciate everybody who have supported it is our number one
product right now the reason why I wanted to bring up these two at the same
time right now is because there is some confusion not a lot but some confusion
on what the difference is between the two of these products now just review
wavetech is a wave forming product you can use this on your existing curly hair
or wavy hair people have 4c hair very very tight coily hair have used this
product and found great results people with straight hair and also use it to
give themselves a bit of wave now this waiting product it does an amazing job
at forming new wave and defining existing wave however it has very very
little hold it'll define your wave it'll keep your wave there but there won't be
any sort of texture it'll still be very soft which I know a lot of you guys
absolutely love that and I do too it's gonna keep your hair bow
see there can be absolutely no crunch and you're gonna get those amazingly
defined beach waves that you've been dying for with absolutely no frizz and
you don't have to use heat with it now personally I use both of these products
together pretty much all the time I start with wave tech and finish with
salty that way I get that extra wavy wavy beachy beautiful look however the
other differences are and that this one adds a lot of texture this one's gonna
keep your hair very bouncy and smooth and salty will give you a little bit
more of a windswept kind of look a little more disheveled I like a textured
a little more of that surfer girl kind of look but wave tech will give you a
more soft everyday kind of style now because wave Tech is a foam product it's
not as good for on-the-go moments just because like if you actually are at the
beach you want to put foam on your hand and then like scrunch your hair yeah
it's kind of like a lot but with salty it is a spray it is a very fine mist you
can bring it on the go with you it's very easy to use and then throw your
hair up in a bun let it down how'd it be wavy it's just a really easy product and
very user friendly I prefer to use salty on the go and wavetech at home but
overall both amazing products that can be used together or separately and we'll
go over more that later those are the two main products I'll be using today
that I want to highlight because they are gonna be very important to making
these looks last and work properly tools needed for this your hands some good
products wide toothed comb is great and if you really want to be extra a few
clips you don't need a lot but they are good to have for natural styling
literally anybody could do this now why don't we bring in my model for today
miss Manny Quinn and let's do the first look Thank You being here and being my
friend we're in love with each other but I think she actually loves me with the
don't become too attachments many men cuz one day I'm gonna throw you away but
I love you thank you very much being in my videos
with me as you can see her hair is air drying pretty quick that's just because
her hair has a lot of chemicals in it for these looks
I would definitely make sure your hair is prepped and washed and clean and
ready to go but also just make sure that your hair is not dry I would also say
that if your hair tends to be very frizzy make sure you're starting off
with your hair quite wet like 95% wet and like just slightly towel dried real
just so it's not dripping but you do want to be pretty wet when you are doing
natural hair styling what will happen with the towel is you'll get a lot of
frizz now if you really do want to tell dry your hair a lot try using a
microfiber towel that will help decrease the amount of crazy I will also try
using a paper towel I know that's kind of weird but when I've done perms I've
used paper towels to dry their hair that way it doesn't get at all frizzy grab
some paper towels and really scrunch with it and it tends to not rough up the
cuticle or get any frizz in the hair so important that you prep your hair
correctly for these hairstyles don't scrub your hair with a towel don't ever
do that but especially not when you're doing a natural hairstyle like this
everybody has a tiny bit of a wave pattern I would comb out your hair very
gently not with this saw with a wide tooth comb maybe even wider than this
would be better for you but just comb it out get those knots out and this is how
we are going to prep for all of these styles just getting those knots out not
stressing the hair too much not putting too much effort into the comb just
making you look nice in the top less is more with a natural hair styling we're
gonna call this first method the scrunch method oh my god that's groundbreaking
Brad I've never scrunched my hair before shut up even if you scrunch your hair
before you probably aren't doing it correctly for this first method we are
using wave tech we are also using salty I always apply wave tech with a comb
it's just so much easier this way you don't get on your hands wave tech is a
very airy foam I feel like it's just more effective when you use a lot of it
it smells so divine Japanese cherry blossom bergamont white butterfly
Jasmine it is the most delicious smell ever what I'm doing is just combing this
through the top of her hair I'm also going to just section off a little bit
of it here and make sure the product is distributed underneath her hair as well
as on top check out a little bit more I always just do like four pumps and
honestly it's gonna look like you just shampooed your hair and didn't wash it
out that's when you know you used enough of this you know don't be shy to use a
ton of this product do you hear this that's when you know you put enough wave
tech in and we're gonna do the same thing all around her head just going on
the underneath beautiful application all the product is raked through the
hair this will work for people with 4c very curly hair now I wouldn't
necessarily comb it all through like I just did you can actually just do it
with your hands and just get it through your hair you do not have to comb it
through I like to work in four quadrants so that's from ear to ear and down the
middle of the back pick up her hair and scrunch it we're getting way of already
you see that we're just being gentle with it though we're not like like
that's how girls do it and it drives me nuts
he'll get better waves with less frizz if you're more gentle with it
so we're gonna go all the way to the end with that same technique and just adding
texture there's no frizz at the top and if there is please get it down before it
air dries because that will not be cute again wavetech is going to give you very
very light hold but it's going to define your waves I know that's kind of a weird
mixture like it doesn't have hold but it also defines but once you use it you'll
understand if your hair isn't sort of turning out like this
you can go in and take pieces wrap them around your finger take it off your
finger like this and drop it down see how to find that wave is know that will
work on a pin straight hair so easy so chill sometimes I like to combine both
of those techniques or I scrunch it then maybe in the front I will give her
something nice to find waves or I won't do this at all I'll just scrunch the
whole thing that's looking splendid I love it now let's do the next one we're
going up scrunch down bring up scrunch down I love the way it looks I don't
think it needs a lot more I think it's pretty chill but we can always just fake
having a little bit more wave with just a few of these on top I want you guys to
love your natural hair I really do that is my goal today I know it's possible
for everybody to love their natural hair
this looks perfect to me there's no frizz she has beautiful
definition around her face and it is a great beachy look
so you guys could totally leave it there and let it air dry or you could do one
last step I like to use these little flat slips like this or you can use any
kind of clip earlier I'm gonna use these today because it doesn't leave a crease
in her hair if you guys are lacking volume and you really want to add some
volume and there easily check out electrified it'll be linked below
it's my volumizing foam it is incredible I can't stress that enough holy it gives
you so much volume okay now our hair is all pinned in place let's let her air
dry and I'll come back and show you how to finish off the look all right so I'm
gonna leave this and then we'll see what happens
alright ladies so I'm back and this has literally taken me almost four hours to
dry and it's still not like a hundred percent dry but I'm really impressed
with the curls okay so let's keep going and we'll watch the next part of Brad's
lesson and she's back so you can tell that she has this volume still also this
beautiful wave it looks stunning she has a very natural wave this is not going to
look like you use a curling iron sometimes people think natural wave is
ugly I personally think it's beautiful it's very irregular as you can see there
is a beautiful amount of shine there's no frizz and her wave is beautifully
defined all over however I want to kind of finish this off a little bit more
with a few products I am going to add some salty in here to give her a little
bit more peace eNOS it looks pretty it's really soft but I want to add more
texture and more definition to these waves because that's how I like it so
I'm just going to spray this and just scrunch see how this is just adding that
extra bit of definition we were lacking I'll do one side can also spray your
hand beautiful that is what it looks like with salty in there now it'll dry
just like that if you let it you know help define the look and that is the
before again and this is the after again as you can see
it's a lot more defined even more than before and salty really emphasized the
way we put in there previously with wavetech again they work amazing
together
that is some beautiful natural wavy hair so I just want to say thank you so much
to Brad mondo for his air drying video and for his amazing products I've
purchased these products all on my own I'm not being compensated by making this
video I just want you to know so all these opinions and everything
like that are mine and as you can see I've got some amazing results and I
don't have the crunch which is very exciting
