No thanks xD

Noo

Nope😂

NO THANK U 😂

Brad Mondo i dont think so😂😂😂

lmao we can have a memorial service and everything XD I'm only attending if they have food though :v

@AwkwardRainbowPotato ikr

Happy pride month

I am always down to try new hair styles......that is a no go for me! I'm a big girl and my luck I'd have some bacon grease up in these locks and set of a grease fire! My head is far to big to go bald......but that's just me. Lol love your videos!

The fire hat 😂😂

Its such a pet peeve of mine when people relate any beauty “hacks” back to cleopatra

@@elizabeth2621 Ikr and some ancient philosophers say Cleopatra actually was considered ugly and over time the story changed or something (not completely sure but I heard it somewhere)

Riiiight?! Cleopatra also used lead based eyeliner! Doesn’t mean we should! Forgive me, but haven’t we learned jack squat in the last few thousand years??🤔😜

Cleopatra wore wigs and was bald (shaved) underneath like all the nobless back then. It's bullshit what they are saying

Pascale N woohoo!!! ❤️👏👏👏someone who knows her ancient history! You school them!! In all honesty: Thank you!🙏 I did not know that til you mentioned it. I thought only the male pharaohs wore wigs. You learn something every day!❤️🙏

People doing the fire cutting: “I’m not a hairdresser”

@@lilybradford805 that’s concerning 😀

i legit just commented that too XD

I was looking for this comment :D

Yea, I was thinking about this when he said it, however, he is right that it doesn’t seem like something great healing. Unless you treat it regularly, cauterised wounds often become infected, partly since you are also biting healthy tissue. I think his question regarding whether fire seals kerotin is one I’m curious about.

see, i was looking for ghis comment bc the science is there

@@JRCGuitarist i mean like in theory yes it does. its just doesn't look the same as skin bc skin has all of these capillaries and blood vessels that hair does not have.

brad: im open-minded also brad: box dye was invented by satan straight from hell

Also bleaching root first 😂

@@sophias5956 I'm dying that's hilarious

Id say drip dying too

And combing out freshly permed hair.

A flat iron is damaging because of the pressure applied to it while it's malleable from the heat. I'm not a professional, but that's what I was told.

EXACTLY

Then why does blow drying damage it?

Heat in general is damagimg the didn't say it would damage your hair. They said they are BURNING OFF her split ends

MommyOfZoeAndLiam blowdrying with high heat and a brush or comb is just as bad because you’re pulling down/applying tension while applying the heat

*slowly shuts door*

Victoria Russell HAAAHAHAHAH i think they need some ointment for that burn 😏👏🏼😂

yup

@@Quaquelly yes for that BURN Hahaha

👏 👏

PREACH HONEY

Totally did

And heat damage for sure

I agree

Yes, it did.

I agree I spend most of my time urning thing

Exactly!

why?

sparkle mon ami bruh use your brain

@@sparklemonami506 because it is not a clear point of reference... the ancients describe the culture of the roman and greek civilization in the time period of 800 BC to 600 AC. That's 1400 years of history and two different cultures. If there is a clear tradition the fire hair cut people are referring to, they need to date it and give sources for their assumptions. Where exactly does it come from? Where and when did the technique first show up and how was this documented? Where's the proof? In general if there is a real tradition that gets used, it will be referenced properly. Good example would be the stick n' poke tattoos, because it can be dated back to ancient Egypt - they found tattoos like these on mummies for example (and it's ritual practises throughout Asia are also properly documented).

Yes, as an Egyptologist and , I thought the same 😂. When Brad said “they used knives!” I was quite pleased. Also, “the ancients” is so vague, given the hundreds of civilizations that existed more than 1000 years ago.........

Lol

😂

People love doing crazy shit. XD

I wouldn't mind using a guillotine to get rid of my headaches

I paused the video and laughed at this for like 2 minutes. This comment is golden!!!

Lmao!

You set your hair on fire 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jillian Carr how the hell did that happen

Can relate 😔 I had dry shampoo on my hair(super flammable) and I had bent over my candle to blow it out and the next thing I knew my hair was up in flames🔥. It actually wasn't even down,I had if up in a hair tie and my hair never actually made contact with the flame. Really scary

@@nicolepittman9660 OOH SHOOT

Nicole Pittman GIRL!! The EXACT same thing happened to me. It ain’t it😂💀

Oh yeah, I use butane torches for soldering and wanted to help SO BADLY. Butane is heavy. Flip the torch & can upside down, fill, then ideally let the torch sit upright for a few minutes so the pressure/gas mix normalizes inside the tank. In reality, it usually works fine immediately.

When he first pulled it out I was like "yea right kitchen tool, maybe he does dabs" until I saw him struggle with it lol

Holy shit right?!?

I WAS HOPING SOMEONE COMMENTED ON THIS OMG😢😂

11/10 would not trust Brad with a blowtorch

@@Alexis-bs7ep 12/10 would trust that lovely lady with one 😅

omg glad ur okay tho!! must have been a traumatic event also like its not even remotely comparable to what you went through but once i accidentaly put some of my hair on fire and i agree, you can see the difference

Oh my goodness I AGREE, what a Ridiculously foolish thing to actually do.

Exactly there is almost no consideration put into this it’s just a plain scam. Even the way they act proves it if you look back.

Thank you for sharing your story, you are truly brave to do so. As a person who grew up in a first responder family, I cannot tell you the amount of times basically my whole family ran out of the house blue lights flashing to get their respective rigs because someone tried something stupid with fire, like this scam. I truly hope that people see how uncomfortable this makes so many people and that this video along with all its warning comments like yours teach them not to do something like this scam because it is just too dangerous.

@@blueash4545 Thank you so much to your family, what they do and the the sacrifces they make so that we can stay safe. They are my true heroes everyday. If my comment stops just one person from doing this, and prevents your family from being needed, my experience will have been worth it. I was so extremely lucky, others sadly aren't.

Yeah, that was hella funny

Patricia Villena she does! I picture her with an Alice from Twilight haircut! Maybe a box dye test for her retirement? And a chop to seal the deal.

Yes! Please do this Brad!!!

💗 Grace 👑 lmfaooooooo

Literally same!! The whole reason I was scrolling through the comments is to see if somebody had posted this!!! XD

Marcella Iosue supposedly barbers used to do this. Not sure of the science but it seals the ends?🤷🏻‍♀️

Marcella Iosue thank you!!

Exactly heat styling damages hair, setting it on fire totally kills it

songbird377 sadly it doesn't seal the ends so much as burn away the split sections. Hair does melt when it burns (if you grab a single strand & hold a lighter to one end you'll see the hair immediately shrivel & retract into a blackened solid blob similar to when you burn plastic strands), which is where I think the idea of it sealing or melting split ends back together comes from - but there's no way to actually control that melting or even isolate it to just the split strand - they're just too small, too close together, & in terms of temp flames are the least controllable source of heat for such a purpose. While *theoretically* I can see melting a strand back together as being possible, it's not remotely feasible - to generate enough heat to do so would completely destroy the structure of the hair, so even if you successfully melted the strands back together you'd end up with something probably quite similar to if you bleached it a half dozen times in one afternoon - it'll be really dry, stiff, incredibly brittle & end up breaking off when you brushed it, or lay down, or if there's a strong wind - probably if you sneeze or just look at it too hard. What they have perfected, however, is marketing - it reminds me of how chlorophyll & apple cider vinegar became 'health food supplements' - absolutely no evidence for any of the beneficial claims, but they're not actively poison so the FDA etc. let's it through, & let's people get swindled. Similarly, there's no actual benefit to setting hair on fire - but it's flashy & impressive, & so long as they have safety equipment they're free to take people's money.

songbird377 Nope. It just burns your hair.

My same thoughts haha

Myka Mateeff I thought this too 🤷🏼‍♀️💆🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️

I mean. I'm no hairdresser but if hair is like skin that ot would seal it. Because people use fire to seal cut and large wounds in certain situations. Sooo.

Cauterizing stops bleeding from what I know. You are literally only supposed to do it in 1-2 second bursts specifically to prevent damaging live tissue... Edit because Wikipedia (lol) says it actually can increase chance of infection because of the increased damage. 🤔

Bahaha

I laughed out loud when he said that

But not like this farce. I only know of Turkish barbers that still do it, but not one of them uses any of these ridiculous methods. Also, in ancient (and not so ancient) times people gave themselves lead poisoning with makeup. Maybe we shouldn't copy their example.

My great grandma used to burn off her arm hair, and both my sisters picked it up from her. In time, less and less hair grows back.

I burn the fine hairs on the tops of my fingers and hands with a lighter. It works, and i think it helps to not make the hair grow back darker or thicker as it doesnt rip out the follicle

so burning leg hair might of been a better option.. now that i think about it. wish id of known way back when i started shaving my legs

Can you tell me your source for the burning leg hair thing for Egyptians? I’m an Egyptologist, and it’s the first I’m learning of this. As far as I’m aware, based on the archaeology, blades and tweezers were used in “beauty routines”. I’d love to read where you found this info about hair burning, please. They DID have hair extensions, though!! We uncovered some instances of this at my dig site in Abydos 😃

Traci T ugh ikr I fucked up

Brad Mondo it’s okay. we still love you.💜👌🏻

Nope. I am paused in that moment seeing who else mentions it in the comments. Haha.

Nope! 😂 it doesn’t seem logical initially but yes, wounds were absolutely sealed with hot implements

I was scrolling to find a comment like this 😙 When I was a kid I had a friend who has hemophilia and she told me about cauterization.

As someone who has been cauterized, modern first world doctors use metal probes heated by electricity or chemicals like silver nitrate

doesn't seal the wound, just stops bleeding and keeps infections from getting too horrible. It cauterizes the wound, which is used to either destroy undesired growth, and kill bacteria. But now, research shows that burning a wound is actually more damaging. It increases risk of infection and causes tissue damage. Cautery is another act of burning, but with metal to produce blisters to stop bleeding, which again is not sealing.

Ya yeet Hairdresser: *pours gasoline in your hair*

Sooo I wish there was a way to love this comment lol

wat wat wait

Holy shit

The end gets "glued" together but yes it damage it to

I think it is the logic between grabbing a hot pan with your hand vs using a hot piece of metal over an open wound. One just causes damage while the other fixes damage. You're still burned. Yeah. So there is some damage, but it heals at the same time

And you can help kill lice with a flat iorn...because it's hot enough to kill them. Don't put fire on your kid's head. How does that even come into someones brain as a good idea? And also still use the meds.

I can hear brad saying this in a sarcastic/annoyed extra voice and it is EVERYTHING! XD

Ok

Brizkoikoi Chan I’m sorry but “miss” lol

OMgoodness, 100% agreed!

LililesRosesandDandilions LililesRosesandDandilions that’s exactly what I was wondering

Ikr

Yea

Sammy Gee yeah I’ve accidentally lit a couple of my hairs on fire and it just doesn’t make sense that they’re saying it heals the hair, my hair looked fucked after I did it

Same. During my accident I burned a good amount of my hair and it was so traumatizing. Luckily it didn't break off and it looks fine now

That just means that they can't even name a Time period or a culture that used fire to cut hair 😂😂

Yeah, is that the dinosaurs?

Lol, well "the ancients" Aztec civilization used to do human sacrifice and I'm not into that either. I'm thinking as far back as cavemen we were like "fire bad" and didn't try to put it on our heads.

Love the way they tried to get around it by prefacing that ‘It’s possible’ the ancients used this technique. Would have appreciated a citation.

As someone who often uses the term "the ancients", I can say that you are 100% right. I know nothing of history and usually just use it to shut someone up about various questionable activities Im partaking in at that moment. (Example: my boyfriend bitching at me for tanning naked on the balcony so I dont get tan lines. "The ancients used to live their entire lives naked." My boyfriend bitching at me for spending too much of his money on amazon cat toys. "The ancients used to worship cats and believed treating them with respect will bring great luck." Sometimes "the ancients" turn into "the old days" but it's all the same. I just realized how much I actually use these terms lol

I agree don't use heat to often and it just doesn't make sense when it's that consented

Using heat to get rid of split ends causes more split ends

Chrissy Montague right

My thoughts exactly...

😆 LOL. Love the last part about fire stylists. You say more heat!

Andee Liu 😂😂😂😂😂

Andee Liu even if they haven’t, they could probably still use some kind of knife or extremely sharp blade to cut hair.

It would of initially been a form of knife/ razor similar to a cut throat. Scissors would have been a lot later

scissors, knives, literally anything sharp... I know our ancestors were supposedly not as intelligent as we are now, but i doubt they just went and lit their hair on fire... 🤣

Darja Bednarik I mean we’re the ones lighting our hair on fire, so who’s the dumb one really?

Underrated Coment!

Ironic because his hair was super oily

But did it work?

Temporarily

It's called "wow factor". Like "wow, I can't believe my client let me do this to their hair!!!"

Um, you don’t see the difference between devaporating hair shaft vs burning ends, so the would be less splits? Bad scissors can ruin your hair. The heat goes up, if the hair would be really heated up, it would catch fire. I used to burn my own hair for sciiiience, the “cut “ it does is very nice. Edit: but these folks put hair in actual fire, it is kind of dumb. The water doesn’t let hair evaporate. Imagine burning paper cup full of water. It won’t burn

i have a feeling they knew that if they attempted that, they would destroy her hair with a gimmick and embarrass themselves lol

was it on purpose though

Me too. We called it candling

I can only imagine Brad Mondo as your chemistry teacher just looking at your hair and going "Oh honey..."

"It was not fun or fresh" lmao 🤣🤣🤣

It depends how hot your blow dryer is. If you can stand the heat on your skin it won't do much damage on your hair. I would not touch the hot parts of a curling or flat iron though...

@@LuisaH2022 that's... Not good to know lol I blow dry my scalp on a much cooler setting than my strands... I have annoying mixed wavy/curly hair that needs heat to flatten out.

@@bhavs398 oh I see... The "struggle" for curls instead of air drying hair without products except of course conditioner. LHC is pretty minimalistic. Just shampoo and condition twice. Oil is optional. Many of us just never blow dry our hair and we grow it to beyond our butt. Undamaged.

@@LuisaH2022 Oh the thing is I'm not really into super long hair so I don't mind trimming off fried ends every now and then, but non-curly haired people who vicariously wanna live off of me really try to feighten me into giving up blow drying/straightening and accept my Shirley Temple hair 🤦

@@bhavs398 oh we have a lot of Shirley Temple(s) in the long hair community who don't grow their hair super long. In fact we have threads for every length and we respect each and everyone's desire regarding hair length. But I think wavies/curlies and long haired agreed that heat is generally not good. It's ok to heat style your hair if you keep it quite short (like most of celebrities have)

Yep. Seals them extremely well. Cauterization ftw.

I was looking for this comment lmao I was like um yeah cauterizing wounds is a thing lmao

I spelled cauterize wrong 😳😬

@@narichan but you can still seal a wound. It doesn't mean that it is necessarily good for you. but it's still possible.
