- Hi, I'm Brad Mondo,
and I'm doing my Billy Idol inspired look today.
So it's gonna be really stuck up,
crazy, kinda punk rock hair.
(upbeat electronic music)
So, my hair is quite fine.
I do have a lot of it.
It's pretty easy to style,
'cause it's very straight.
It's like, literally pin straight.
I have no wave to my hair.
You know, it does lay kinda flat,
so I have to use a lot of volume products
and things like that
to make sure my hair stays up all day.
I just washed my hair with my Polychrome
Color Extending Shampoo and Conditioner.
My hair is super red.
Literally, the color is called Super Red.
So I need to take care of my color
as best as possible.
And I need a color extending shampoo,
because this fades out quick.
Red is so annoying.
If you've ever had red hair,
you know what I'm talking about.
After washing, I typically put in
a leave-in conditioner product.
I'm using Hydromania Conditioning Mist.
It's my favorite product
just to make my hair really shiny,
really smooth, and really hydrated, so.
(upbeat electronic music)
And then, sometimes I'll use a comb,
or sometimes I'll just rake it all through,
just making sure it's all over my hair
is the most important part.
There we go.
Ooh, it already feels so good.
I love this stuff.
Next thing we're doing
is using Electrified Volume Foam.
This stuff will make your hair so volumous,
like you could literally have
the most fine, fragile hair,
and your hair will stick straight up
if you wanted it to.
You can do a blowout,
and your hair will literally stay
in that beautiful blowout formation all day.
I like to just shake this up.
This is what it looks like.
Put it right on my comb like this.
And with any foam styling products,
this is such a great way
to apply it to your hair.
It makes it so much easier,
and it doesn't get all over your hands.
(upbeat electronic music)
I wanna look super punk rock,
'cause that's the vibes we're going for,
with the red hair sorta era I'm going through,
it's all punky.
It's all really like, like I said before,
Billy Idol inspired.
You know, he always had
that really stuck up hair.
And I loved it so much.
So we're gonna recreate that.
Next, what we're gonna do is blow dry, okay?
So the goal here is to make my hair stick up,
like I keep saying,
so we're gonna do exactly that with the blow dry.
And just over direct the hair to the opposite side
of where it lays,
so that way, we have maximum volume,
and maximum stuck up-ness.
Let's do it.
I'm gonna use my Dyson blow dryer.
I love this thing, it's great.
(upbeat electronic music)
Also, a tip for the guys out there
who have receding hairlines,
like my hairline is not the best,
it's not the worst,
but I like to minimize how receding it looks.
(laughing)
And I just like to camouflage it
as best as possible.
So I'll usually pull the hair forward first.
That way, the hair lays kind of forward,
but up at the same time.
You'll see.
(upbeat electronic music)
So now that I have it all forward,
now let's go in that up direction
to make it stick up.
(upbeat electronic music)
Okay.
The hair is dried,
and it's looking really insane,
and it's a lot for me to handle right now.
But, we're getting towards the goal here.
So we're gonna now put in a texturizing product.
And I'm gonna use Salty Sea Salt Spray.
I love saltwater sprays,
because it really gives you that gritty,
cool, lived-in texture, and I'm all about that.
So let's shake it up,
and let's put it all over the hair.
Okay, let's just use
our blow dryer one more time,
and just blow dry in that sea salt spray.
Let's do it.
(upbeat electronic music)
Ooh, it's already looking gorgeous!
Look at that texture.
Like, I can't.
We're onto my favorite product.
This is the one that I've gone through.
This is called BDSM, by the way.
And it's a slick and define balm
is what we call it.
I've gone through probably 25
of these since making it.
And it's only been like a year and a half or so.
So, this is literally every day I use this stuff.
It adds shine to your hair,
it adds separation, it adds hold,
it adds hydration.
So no matter what you're doing to your hairstyle,
it's really great for it.
I love using it on wavy, beachy hair on girls,
to give them that defined beach wave moment,
and make their ends a little more piecey,
so it looks more lived-in.
But for me, I use this stuff
to slick my hair back,
or make it stand straight up.
So we're gonna put it on my palms like this,
and my hands are already turning red
from my hair color.
(groaning)
Red is stressful.
It goes everywhere.
Everything in my house is red at this point.
But it's worth it.
It's worth it for the look, you know?
So, let's put it on these sides of my hair first.
And we're just going up.
♪ If it's up then it's up ♪
You know what I mean?
Like, we're doing it.
Okay, so we are working around the head now.
We have all the BDSM product in there,
and I'm going to start kind of twisting pieces
on the sides, and just getting it
to be kind of spiky.
So I'm definitely in an 80s phase right now.
And I actually stumbled
across a picture of Billy Idol
like a month or so ago.
And I was like, oh my God,
that is literally the look I've been doing.
And then I started looking up
more 80s rock stars.
It's everything I've ever wanted to be, okay?
If I weren't a, whatever you wanna call me,
entrepreneur, social media guru, I don't know,
YouTuber, Tik Toker, I would be a rockstar, okay?
I can't sing exactly, but we could work on it,
and it would happen,
because I vibe with that life so hard.
And I've been wearing
also a lot of eyeliner lately,
so I feel like I need to wear
my hair super crazy as well,
to compliment the makeup.
Definitely been wearing more black,
and just more chains, and a fake nose ring.
So I just love that whole aesthetic.
I just love transforming myself constantly.
So next time you see me,
I may look completely different.
Actually, I will.
I guarantee that.
Okay, let's hairspray it.
Today I'm taking this Bleu by R and Co Hairspray.
I really like the smell of it.
It's a great product.
And so it is a sort of medium hold hairspray,
and we're just gonna hairspray lightly.
I can get very carried away with hairspray.
I love hairspray.
But it makes my color run.
So, we can't use too much of it,
'cause it has alcohol in it.
So if you have colored hair,
and you want it to last longer,
don't use too much hairspray,
because it will bleed,
and it will make your color run, so be careful.
But you know what, we love it anyways.
All right, let's just do
the finishing touches here.
Let's spike it up just a little more
with the hairspray.
And, I think I look like a psycho,
so we're there, I think I got it!
This is the top.
The sides.
And the back.
I'm so into it.
Come on.
Like, are we into it or not?
Changing your hair gives you
an entirely new outlook on life, I swear.
It's wild.
That's why I fell in love with this industry.
It brings so much joy to my life
to color my hair and cut my hair.
And it brings so much joy in my life
when I see other people trying new styles
with their own hair.
And it is so worth it.
So give it a try.
If you've never tried a new color,
start off slow,
build up to something bigger.
Or try a new haircut, try some curtain bangs.
Something little.
It'll really spice up your life
and give you a whole new outlook.
So, good luck.
