Agreed! If I had micro-bangs, my loved ones would be seriously concerned about my mental state. I would look ridiculous. 😂 I tried regular long bangs last year, the kind that covers your forehead, and even my S.O. of 10+ years was like, OMG babe what did you do?!?!? when I got home from the salon 😳😂

They all killed it, I’m so impressed
I know exactly what she means by "ugly pretty". Unconventional beauty. Taking things that our media and society would usually deem "ugly" but pulling it off in such an edgy and beautiful way. Embracing the more extreme out of the box that a lot of people might even hate on. Like even the gap in her bangs that kept bothering both of you or how insanely messy and choppy they were at first. If she wanted to, she really could pull it off. As much as I'm not a fan of the people anymore, Yolandi and Ninja from Die Antwoord are actually really awesome examples of this. They even have a song called "Ugly Boy" that I kind of love. The whole idea of the "ugly" aesthetic has helped me accept my own physical self a ton actually. Instead of putting myself down for being "ugly", I've just embraced it because I couldn't ever get myself to see myself as beautiful like others did. I'm absolutely obsessed with extreme looks and unconventional beauty. Out of the box. Everyone should go feral and let go of beauty standards. And I feel like fem folks shaving their heads or bleaching/shaving their brows and really pushing more creative makeup on tiktok and such is kind of starting to explore that. Are those things ugly? No. Not at all. But for a very long time, they were told that it was. They're baby steps towards a very colorful and unique future and I adore that.

right? Not to mention so many people don't know how flattering something can really look on them until they do it, but because it's unconventional they never do it, sometimes never consider it. ie I shaved my head and dyed it platinum blond and then light blue and it's like i finally understand why I fought my hair for so long...I have a small forehead and pixie face but nobody ever told me I could rock looking almost bald. It looks so right I immediately identified with it more than any other hairstyle I'd had. the same pathology is also why I stopped wearing makeup... It just didn't suit me. Many people have faces that I think really shine when totally bare, but that's rarely seen as a true style choice to be paired with a nice outfit. There's so many options that it's silly not to play around with them. The amount of times someone looks good with a real mullet, or wearing androgynous clothes or clothes made for the opposite sex--and often it doesn't look like cross dressing! That can be flattering too but my point is they look so right in the piece that they define it, not the other way around. I totally agree we should lean into all forms of experimentation, not just what "works" for us, because it's about having fun, but I'm just saying on top of that there are so many opportunities to realize green eyebrows or a missing tooth or dark circles or a mohawk or a lolita dress etcetc truly complements you. It's thrilling to make those discoveries and I would love to see people with the freedom to find that until they have a whole fleshed out idea of it, instead of abiding by conformity. can you imagine how neat people would look at like formal events?

@@vanesspainn1127 don’t worry, you’ll get there! I had my hair dyed as a “prize” for a competition and they entirely destroyed my hair with bleach (they tried to go from dark brown box dyed hair to platinum and bleached my hair 3 times in one day. My scalp was literally burnt and scabbed for nearly 2 weeks). I tried to play it off for like a year by having wildly vibrant purple hair. Eventually I couldn’t deal with the damage anymore and decided to cut it, but wanted to have some fun. Thus, the baby bang. After immediate regret and another trip to the hairdresser, I had a pixie cut. This was mid 2020 and now my hair is just about boobie length, so yes, it will definitely grow back, it’ll just take some time.

Everyone looks amazing with a microbang, it’s incredible. And, as someone who’s had a fair share of microbang-ness in life, they just come with a complimentary self-esteem boost too!
I definitely agree with the one arm covered, one arm out issue. It literally drives me insane.
Brad. I need to tell you - you are one of the reasons I'm training to be a barber at the ripe old age of 40 (you know how they say about life beginning at 40 lol...) also this top is cute. my fave look on you was the pink crushed velvet top/glove combo. keep on serving us looks!

I’m glad you gave tips for styling micro bangs! Styling is sooo important when it comes to short hair. I have an Audrey Hepburn style pixie cut rn with microbangs. A lot of women have told me that they could never have short hair, but they totally could if they knew all the styling options out there.
"Open those curtains girl. It is daytime." 😆 Your personality is the best.

For those who don't have great brows, shave them and draw them on the way you want. It's way more common than you think and isn't noticeable once you get really good at it. There's also microblading.

"It doesn't look as good on me as it does on the pinterest photos" thats the initial reaction right after cutting bangs that universally everybody experiences
hahahah I just had my own debacle with cutting microbangs that ended up looking like a buzzcut... grew out for two months and my overbooked stylist squeezed me in between two people getting color, last Friday, because I sent her pics of what I did to myself and she said 'oh my god, I have to help her'. This video makes me feel targeted, yet also seen. LOL

I was expecting hair disasters and instead they all look great and it really works for them.
The thing I LOVE about micro bangs is even when I occasionally trim them a little too short they can still turn out great if I just clean up the line and blow dry style them in that side to side technique. Like, literally always ends up looking just fine and often great! Mine oftentimes look a lot like the last girl’s bangs with the rounded out shape and I love them!
Thank you for sharing this! I experienced a bunch of postpartum hair loss that resulted in a really weird bang situation as my hair grew back in. This video gave me great tips and helped me trim my hair so I don't feel as self conscious about my hair issue. I feel so much better about leaving my house now!
wow. I just reached the pinnacle of my brad mondo watching experience. he released this video at the exact same time I was cutting my bangs. unexpectedly thrilling.
All three of them looked fantastic! I did micro bangs once but it definitely made my forehead look ten times bigger. A few months ago I cut bangs just above the eyebrow line and now growing them out. Every other year I go through this phase lol!
I wouldnt ever do micro bangs but these girls are all so cute and they pulled it together!! 💇🏻♀️💇🏼♀️💇🏽♀️
I'm here because I feel like crap and I know Brad will cheer me up. I hope everyone is having a good day and that you feel loved, needed and worthwhile

Hey Brad, just wanted to thank you for the butterfly haircut tutorial you recently did, it was exactly what my hair needed! I have so much volume, my curls are so happy. I didn't go with the big chop because my roots are very grown out and I didn't want to have to bleach any time soon, this cut makes my grow out look better and my hair looks healthier for it! I can't thank you enough!!!! 🥰
BRAD you should wear your hair like that more often! It looks amazing, and that shade of blue on you is *chef's kiss" beautiful boy
Brad i love you, ur videos are literally making my day so much great❤
Brad is straight slaying in that top and I’m here for it always!
Okay I have to be completely honest, that last girl looked absolutely incredible! So there it is I can't say it's horrendous because I finally saw one that was absolutely brilliant. 🥰
They all look great! Wish I was cool enough to suit baby bangs, but think I’d just look like I messed up when cutting it 😂
I followed your butterfly cut tutorial for my daughter (11) and it turned out amazing! Ty so much
I’ve been doing micro bangs for over a year now, they grow out sooooo fast but I love it because it mix it up every time I trim. Sometimes they’re way short, sometimes they triangle shaped. Love it 🤍
Brad, you are absolutely a riot to watch!! Your commentary, animated gestures, and your laugh always make me laugh out loud. 🤣🤣
brad, you look AMAZING in that blue. please bring back that small blue bit in the front of your hair for a while, you rocked it so hard.
I am shooketh. I didn't expect to love these as much as I did. But they look INCREDIBLE.
If there's one thing I've learned from cutting my own bangs for over two decades, it's that you have to give the hair a minute to settle down. It's like it wants to stay where it was before, but the weight is gone, and the direction is wrong (if you had it parted or going back especially), so I wash my hair after the cut and then comb it in the correct direction (Brad's correct; comb from the outside in on both sides, then down in the center- these aren't curtain bangs, you're trying to teach it to do the opposite of flying to the sides), and sometimes if you're not into lots of products and styling it will take a couple days to really fall naturally with the new cut. I just keep that in mind, and know that once it's settled I might need to give it some final touches, instead of trying to go for perfection in one go, because suddenly that one piece that insists on going slightly sideways, or straight forward, when it's resting naturally on the forehead might be a bit long, but if I made sure it was all perfectly straight when it was still going in all directions then it'd be uneven later. Basically, don't panic. That's when you start cutting too much and adding bits that ruin the shape and it's much harder to fix that than if you just live with it being not perfect for a weekend and then perfect it. PS: if you have straight hair, definitely do the initial cut dry and without tugging on it, to get the length you're actually going for.
I love the vibe of the last girl she seems so nice and cool!! And her hair came out so well!!
Brad Mondo dressing like it's 2001 and I'm here for it!
I was binging your videos and decided to cut seven inches off my hair. I used your sectioning technique and divided it into six sections and it turned out AMAZING. I feel like a new person lol
So happy that Brad recommended using a "beard edger" for microbangs because my sister told me this trick some years ago and I've been doing it ever since! Now that Brad said it it feels like a legit technique😂❤
Please do some stylist doing color correction videos!!! I love those!!!
