I only use about 3 pumps for my whole head and it works perfectly fine. You don’t have to use that much product. When I use it, it doesn’t leave any sort of gel cast or residue on my hair...but that’s just my experience. 🤷🏻♀️😅
Yeah I agree. If you have thin hair it’s best to use a small amount. As for me I use a lot because my hair is thick.
SOOO I figured out how to make this work for my hair and the results were... INSANE. Y’all. This works better when my hair is DAMP instead of soaking wet. So this worked extremely well for me on a refresh day! Which I would have never tried so thank you to whoever recommended that!!🖤 go check out my video titled “how I made my wavy hair curly” bc it was this product combined with a diffusing technique 🙌
Can we get an updated video with the results and what you did 👀👀
Update video
Which hair product do you normally use?
You should probably rename this video because THIS ONE is the first that comes up when you look up this product and you're saying that you made a mistake. Like I don't like brad mondo at all but I feel like you're being unfair and there's alot of idiots who might not see your pinned comment. I would say delete it but obviously you've got a ton of views and that would hurt you and not be fair to you. No hate there's just so much misinformation in this world already and people could still learn alot from this video and you do still make good points.
Hey! You should definitely pin this to the top of the comments so everyone knows to check out the other video. I was about to not buy this product because of this video but now I will go to your other video to watch how you did it!! 😁👍🏼
I feel like it’s so much harder to find products that work for wavy hair!! Everything is either too heavy or not enough definition!! Once you find a product that works - that’s it 😂 no more experimenting... taking it to the grave 😂
I totally agree omg
I have that problem also
Definitely
Oh so true.. 1 year of CGM and still haven't found my holy grail😅
Curl talks moose works really well for wavy gair
It's soooo crazy how products can work out differently for different people. I also just tried this on my channel and I had 0 cast and I used like 10-12 pumps on each side of my head when it was soaking wet! I do have much thicker hair than you but my hair was so soft and fluffy. I am honestly in love with the product! The worst part of being a wavy girl is that even products people love sometimes don't work for you.
Also I think you should try combing it through. That's what I did. It might help disperse the product more to avoid the crunchy weird feeling.
Wow that’s crazy! Yeah everyone’s hair is so different it’s hard to know what will work
Maybe it's because you didn't comb it through? He says to use a widetooth comb. Because with your fingers you're not dispersing enough, I don't think. It's putting too much in a clump and not how it's intended. Brad actually made a video where he talked about it.
I have used a comb and it still didn't work well for me. But it maybe because I let it air dry instead of using a diffuser.
When my hair is about half way through drying, I spray with a little bit of water and it helps break up the cast and reform some of the wonky curls.
Any product for wavy/curly hair has such a major learning curve. I still haven’t even figured out how to really make my hair look good and fix my curl pattern. And obviously there’s a ton of products that might work for you and not work for someone else because every single persons hair is completely different
Definitely!! Hopefully I can figure this one out
I haven't watched the video yet but from what I've seen in his videos Brad doesn't really *get* wavy/curly hair...
maybe that explains my results then 😭😭😭 I didn’t have great luck with the product but I’m just confused how every one else is getting good results. we probably just have different preferences
I think he's far more knowledgeable about how to cut and style straight hair, I hope he learns more about textured hair cause his videos are so entertaining! Glad to see your review of the product though, you're saving my some money! 😂
I'd agree he doesn't get wavy hair at all. It works on straight hair because it forces it into a wave.
I agree! I saw a video where he rated ppl's hair routines and he included a curly girl. He deducted a point bc she diffused her hair upside down and he said that causes frizz... ummmm most curly girls diffuse upside down to get more volume!
@@christinatorressd yeah it’ helps create volume but it definitely does cause more frizz
Use a wide tooth comb! Pump the product on the comb and comb it through, like 4-5 pumps per section. Then scrunch, I feel like the wide tooth comb does make a difference
EXACTLY!🤙
If you ever decide to come back to it, I believe that most people do 3-4 pumps on each side, like most people Put it on a wide tooth comb and Comb through, then scrunch it.
Yeah..Mondo says to use a LOT of the product..🤙
Thank you for your review. I enjoy watching Brad but I'm unsure about his wavy/curly products. It's always nice to see a review that doesn't seem biased or paid for. I can have a ton of frizz so I'm curious about this product but $27 for some frizz-taming is a bit much.
I use the Ouidad Advanced Climate Control line. It does keep my frizz under control, but it is pricey. I watch for sales.
I've just used this product for the first time today. Split my hair in a top and bottom section, pumped the product onto a wide tooth comb and brush it through soaking wet hair. Scrunched it throughout the drying process and it worked great for me. It's enhanced my curls so much!
Hope you can find a way for it to work for you x
This is somewhat random but you are the first person I have ever seen on UA-cam with the same hair texture as me and I LOVE IT. I have been trying to find a good products/advice for my hair for almost four years now and nothing helped. I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel because you have helped immensely. Just wanted to say thank you soo sosososo much
Aw yay! You’re so welcome!!🖤🖤
I like to apply foam-like products to 85% dry hair. I plop in a microfiber towel for a while. My hair always turns out soft and bouncy.
I used it after seeing everyone else’s review & liked it. I didn’t use a comb btw I only used my fingers. When I watched the other reviews I didn’t see anyone apply it on wet hair or have to use a towel after applying the product to remove excess water. I’ve only seen a few people who air dry but use the product on damp/towel dried hair. Others used a diffuser which is what I did because it’s faster for me. Any time I diffused my hair it was always a bit frizzy but with the wave tech it was not as bad & I haven’t experienced a gel cast or crunchy ends. If you decide to try again maybe try it on towel dried hair or use a diffuser.
Yeah, and I was thinking maybe not squeezing out the excess water with a towel after the product was applied.
I use this product with gel. Diffused it and it was great. I do love the day after from this product too!
This is exactly what i do and it works so amazing! I use the curl talk gel only on my ends and scrunch that in. Normally i use like 4 pumps on my comb and do it on my roots like he did in his video and the volume i get. But also afyer defusing it i will use just alittle of argan oil to scrunch it out and Holy cow looks amazing everytime!
To everyone saying it didn’t work because I didn’t apply it with a comb:
1.Brad says you don’t have to use a comb and it works with your hands too, as it should. He said the comb is only so you can distribute it evenly and get a more even wave texture.
2. If I knew I needed to buy extra tools on top of a $27 product in order for that $27 product to work, I wouldn’t have bought it.
3. The website nor the bottle says anything about applying it with a comb. It says distribute evenly and scrunch in. Which is what raking does. So how are the people that don’t watch UA-cam supposed to know how to make the product work? Clearly the comb isn’t what makes or breaks the products performance or they’d put it on the website and bottle.
4. If a product is that fickle I don’t want it anyways. There shouldn’t be that big of a difference between raking and combing.
I've used that NYM Curl Talk Mousse, and it gives me a cast that I cannot scrunch out, not matter what. I have to rake my fingers through my hair to get rid of it.
I've never tried a foam before and this review is really interesting! Also wanted to let you know that when I do damp styling I get more of a gel cast than soaking wet styling but I'm not sure if it's the same for everyone
That makes sense to me! Bc if I add a gel once my hair has dried a bit I get a harder cast so that makes me definitely NOT want to apply this to damp hair then or my hair might become cement lol
@@melindab haha yeah your cast was already so intense I've never seen a cast like that 😂😂
Actually it looks really nice. You got waves in the first try. Kinda wished you used the brush he recommended because the brush gives you exact curls and when you just do it with your hands it does weird curls and or waves. I do the same thing when I do it with my hands the curls come out weird and if I do it with a comb the curls look all the same through out my head.
Lighting in this video is on point 👌🏼 also that highlight girl 😍 and I loved watching this process! I had to lol at the stiff chunks of hair in the first demo 😅
Thank you!! I’m finally figuring it out🙌🙌 dude the cast was ridiculous 😂😂
I’d been wondering about his products too! So thanks for the honest review and I’m glad I don’t have to try it now:) Ilove Brad Mondo BUT I hate products that make my hair greasy, sticky or uncomfortably stiff. I like my hair fluffy and wavy so I don’t mind friz that much if the trade off is playful touchable hair. Ya know?
I totally agree! My main priority is that my hair feels soft
This is not at all an accurate review of this product. She’s not following basic instructions. 1. Apply with a wide tooth comb. 2. Work faster 3. She’s using too much-I could go on. Watch one of Brad’s videos on this product.
thank you so much for this review, i have a similar hair texture to yours and thinking about possibly buying it but haven't seen reviews with the same hair as me
I’m glad I could help!🖤🖤
Girl the not your mothers curl talk foam is one of my favorite products for refreshing. I haven't tried it on wash day but you should totally pick it up
Ooooooo I need it oh my gosh
I love it too, even have my mom using it now lol
I don't use it when my hair is that wet. I have combed it in with a comb and my fingers and had the same results. I had no crunch, no product feel, and it isn't greasy looking. My hair was soft and shiny. I know we all have different hair. I liked the product but it is a bit expensive.
Hey! This didn’t really come out well because when you apply the product most girls used a wide comb and after they apply the solution they diffuse their hair so they got much better results so maybe if you try that it will work much better!
I think she used a little too much product too tbh
He says you need to use a comb... in like every video... I would try using his recommended application method.
I personally only use two-three pumps max after getting out of the shower on days I just need to get ready quick. I think it looks a lot better that way. I didn’t know you’re supposed to use so much product 😅😅
I should have gone with my guy in that lol
You can get the same effect with mouse if you can deal with the crunchy or sticky part.
You should definitely rename this video. Not everyone looks at comments so you're just bashing a product you ultimately admitted you used wrong in the first place.
Ugh, I have really curly hair but it’s fine. A lot of hair but fine! What the hell do I use?!
Rizo’s Curls or Morrocanoil Curl Defining Cream is wonderful! My hair is 2B/C hair..i’m not big on mousse…They all make my hair crunchy n wet looking…
You definitely should use the comb through method when your hair is more wet, and girl stop touching it so much!!!!! Lol quick apply with comb at let be;)
I used a comb and never touched my hair and had the same result as her. 😬
Hey melinda if your not feeling the wavetech foam I hold suggest the not your mothers curl talk mousse I love this product for my waves, highly recommend.
I definitely want to try that one!
You should try Brad’s tutorial on how to use Wave Tech and see if you still don’t like this product.
Technically she did. She just didn't use a comb which shouldn't make a huge difference.
EXACTLY!! His review and directions how to use is all over youtube?
I agree with you! I felt so jipped because I really trusted brad! I looked into another one of his products and started suspecting that the reviews were fake or endorsed or something because when I got all the way to the end I finally saw the real ones which werent that great. :(
Oh dang that sucks 😩😩
Personally I think it’s different for everyone. I’ve used wavetech for probably almost a year and I absolutely love the product
I personally think this is the worst review ever. When applying any product you use a comb afterwards. You didn't even apply the product to your roots . You literally applied it to the end of your hair. But otherwise. Curls in the end looked nice.
You have to use the wide tooth comb so it could distribute through ur hair a certain way
Imma watch till the end, but my initial thought is that you used wayyyyy too much product on hair that is too wet. I used about 4 pumps for my hair (waist length with about a 3 inch ponytail so super long and dense) I did not run into any of the issues you did in this video once is started doing it on slightly wet hair. I did have similar issues when my hair was just lightly towel dried with about 4 pumps per side the first time I tried it.
You and I have similar waves and I hated this product too. I first bought the glitterati product he sells and it honestly doesn't do THAT much, but I liked using it in combination with the curls rock amplifier. So when he started making the wavetech, i bought it right away because it sounded great. I HATED IT! It left my hair sooo greasy. I didn't use very much at all (I bought it before the hype so i never saw the vid saying to use 7 pumps or anything) so I didn't have the gel cast issue, but I hated how it weighed down my waves and left my hair with a greasy product-heavy look. I'd love to see if you're able to use it in some way, just since it's so crazy expensive, but no luck here.
I’m so glad it’s not just me!!
can you try to apply it with a wide tooth comb
You're supposed to cpmb it in with wide tooth comb just FYI to everybody. Makes huge difference
Lol I thought that when I saw him demo it. Omg- wayyyyy too much product to fly thru
Yesssssss
Have you tried applying it with with a wide tooth comb like brad does in the video?
I'm glad someone else is saying this! She seems really nice, but I really get frustrated when people give bad reviews on a product and don't do it the way they're supposed to. Because then they may have a negative view of something that's actually really great. And maybe it would still suck for her, but at least them it's accurate.
I tried it with the comb method and have the same result as she had.
@@kimramirez3469 a comb shouldn’t make this big a difference. The only purpose of a comb is to apply product more evenly. It’s not going to completely change the way a product interacts with the hair.
@@xqueenfrostine Well, read what you just said and you’ll see why that’s not true. A comb distributes it evenly so there is not too much in one spot. If there is too much, and it’s not distributed evenly it will be weighed down
You’re so beautiful and so is your hair! Hair goals! I’m so stuck with my hair right now. Winter doesn’t help. I know I could use a cut getting more layers. I’m waiting it out though because I’ll be on leave for surgery in April. Thank you for the honest content you provide!
Aw thank you! I’m glad you enjoy it🖤🖤
Do you ever scrunch your cast out with a hair oil? I use the Verb Ghost oil (just one pump) and do the praying hands method, then scrunch it. That breaks my casts SUPER easily!
I don’t but I definitely want to try it!
I do like the wave tech, it does work better for me on more damp hair then super wet. But to be perfectly honest I think I like the curl talk foam better 🙈 it has protein in it and my hair loves it. I’ve even applied like 1-2 pumps on dry hair if it has weird spots on it really works 👌 plus it’s like $7 at target. I tried a shampoo, conditioner, wave tech and his super pink hair color. All of which I was so excited about but the only thing I ended up liking at all was the wave tech, but in my experience the NYM is a dupe (maybe even better). So I won’t be buying from his again either. It was a bummer.
Dang that sucks! Yeah I thought since it was Brad the product would be incredible but I was pretty disappointed too. I’m really curious to try the NYM one! I love saving money too 😜
You didn’t comb it through
I tried the wave tech foam...and did not like it all. My fine wavy hair felt very producty. I sent it back.
I didn’t even think about sending it back frick lol I should have
Wonder if you truly need to use a comb instead of finger comb
Maybe! I can’t imagine why that would make the difference between a cast and no cast though but who knows 😞
You put too much in certain areas by dumping it on instead of combing it in. You saturated each piece of hair without a comb. The best results I've seen on video, is with a comb.
I wonder if to scrunch out the crunch you could use a lightweight oil and instead of scrunching first try the praying hands method with the oil then scrunch. I find this works better to get out any cast for my fine curls.
User error. Irresponsible of you to not update the title or description. You obviously used too much. 🤦🏽♀️
I love herbal Essenses Totally Twisted mousse. It gives me great definition and curl enhancement but it's almost impossible to over apply. You get a good cast but it scrunches out so easily. I use it with literally every other product no matter what because it's just amazing.
27 doll hairs 🤣 my boyfriend says that all the time! Never heard of this product & thanks to your video I'm not interested in trying it!
Lol no problem!🖤
What curling product do you usually use? The one that you said you only need 2 pumps? Plz answer ☺️
I love how different products work differently in different people it drives me insane because I've been trying to find the best stuff to bring out my curls the not your mother's curl talk cream and the moose and the gel did absolutely nothing for my hair and I use them for a long time. I'm going to try the other two you mentioned and see how those work. I've had good success with thick leave-ins but I feel like I have to apply so much product it's gross.
Love your lip colour when you were wearing the red sweater! Do you remember what you wore that day? 😊
Hairitage recently released a wave foam, maybe you could try that
Oh really? I didn’t know that . I’ll have to check it out!
I will say that you really didn't apply the way he says to. The comb is key for even distribution. Also your hair is thin compared to most people I know who use it, so yeah, you probably need less product.
My hair is a lot thicker than that mannequin he put it on. I have thick coarse hair and he said you can’t over apply the product and that more is better so I tried following as close to his directions as I could
$27 per bottle is insane!
Thanks for going through that for us. I saw Brad Mondo's video for it and I was curious about it. I am very sensitive to scents so it will be a no from me.
I had a similar issue with the Curl Talk Mousse. I thought that it just dried my hair out. I don't know if that's common for mousse, but I tried it at least a dozen times with no luck. I have been using the Ouidad Vitacurl Mousse, but that has been hard to find recently.
My only thought is you can try to break the cast with some light oil (I did not try that with the Curl Talk Mousse). I tend to like a crunchy cast since humidity is high year round where I live and I get frizz just thinking about walking outside. I mostly avoid anything with glycerin or aloe because they just invite frizz over for dinner.
I hope you get it to work for you. I hate it when I waste money on a product and can't get it to work for me.
Oh that’s interesting about the curl talk mousse 😬 I really wanted to try that but now I’m a a little nervous. I do wanna try using an oil I’ve seen a lot of people do that
I love it . I used it and it worked wonderfully. You maybe didn’t use it right.
Have you tried using a mouse gel in your hair? I've been looking at the AG recoil mouse gel! We have similar hair styles/texture and just wondered if you ever gave those a try :)
What is your favorite wave product? Thank you!
So I think that maybe we shouldn't use it as a system I swear I think like maybe some are good for the cream and or the phone but maybe like and I'll wash daze the revival thing I'm not sure I think my hair would be better with the foame for sure just by itself
I was planning on getting this product, but now i have reservations. I don’t like hold tbh cuz it makes my hair look wet and gross and I have short hair, which hold can make look weird imo. But since Brad said there’s little hold i thought about getting it. It’s also pretty expensive, so idk 🤷🏼♂️
I think it might be ok if you use it when your hair is damp instead of soaking wet. He said to have soaking wet hair but I used it on damp hair in a refreshing video titled “how I made my wavy hair curly” and I got way better results and did t have that extreme hold
Ummmm try combing it through
Supposed to comb it evenly through 4 sectioned off sections, then scrunch w/ a tshirt or microfiber towel/ rag..😳
Off topic but what highlight are you using ? It looks so good!!
Thank you! It’s one of the pixie highlights! I think my aggressive lights definitely make every highlight more intense though 😋
Can we talk about your makeup though!?!🥰details?
Well, he did say USE A WIDE TOOTH COMB to apply.....
he said you can use your hands too. The comb is just to make sure the product is evenly distributed and can help even put your hair texture but he said you don’t need a comb and neither the website nor the bottle say to use a comb it just says apply it evenly which is what I did. It doesn’t change the greasiness of the product or the insane gel cast
You’re supposed to blow dry and comb through with a wide tooth comb when wet not a brush
Thank you for trying this and sharing your experience!!
I couldn’t stop looking at your cheeks!! Beautiful! What was the highlight and blush you were wearing?
Thanks! No blush, just bronzer and the lightest shade of the pixi highlighter ☺️
It's just her nice cheeks
So weird how stiff it made your hair. I wonder if it would work for my afro hair since it had so much hold.
FINALLY! It’s not just me! I have fine hair and kept having the same problem.
I thought a wide toothed comb was key
No he said you can use your hands. The comb is just to make sure the product is evenly distributed and can help even put your hair texture but you don’t need a comb. It doesn’t change the greasiness of the product or the insane gel cast
@@melindab ok I was just going by the video of his I watched where he said he was happy to see people listening and using the comb for best results. Your hair looks nice btw 👍
I love Brad Mondo but for $27 it's a no for me.
I feel you 😬😬😬
Have you tried Hairitage by Mindy products?
I like the conditioner! I used it in my drugstore routine🖤
Aussie instant freeze always works best for me.
Before slagging off a product you might want to look at your technique... eeeek. He shows how to use it and you missed pretty just all the marks! Pretty poor review sorry.
Mousse is always hit or miss with being too greasy after it dries
It’s so funny how you seem to be the only one who has this gel cast problem….I call bs on all the other reviews, I like his vids and want to try his products but they seem way over priced….8oz of color for 10$ more than other brands….sorry babe no….I think the other people don’t care bout gel cast or don’t mind stuff crunchy hair….also try just 1 pump per side, I have straight hair but if I use anymore than a dime of anything my hair gets super crunchy
Not her hair is not as thin as I really 😊 she has more hair than I do so I don't know
LOL girl first your hair seemed extremely wet then you don’t actually have that much hair so you applied SO much product and did not use the comb that’s recommended so all the pieces where stuck together and in your video you mentioned all these fails so why wouldn’t you upload an actual video using the product correctly then giving a bad experience knowing you didn’t follow instructions correctly:….
TY! I’m a single mom with crazy frizzy waves and $50 for sham/conditioner is a lot for me and LOVE his shampoo but it made my scalp itch so bad &gave it away. Wanted to try this. Needed some honesty tytyty
If you want to sell the wavetech of you aren't going to use it, ill buy it off you since the website is sold out :(
I tried less pumps and more pumps. It left my hair feeling heavy and like it had a film on it. I wanted to love it so bad, but I didn’t.
I just tried it for the first time today and used what he suggested in his video. Omg my hair is a tabled, greasy mess. So sad! Am going to try less tomorrow!
I don't think it's exactly a bad product. It's just that he's asking everyone to use a lot of it maybe because of the profit. I highly recommend you try this with as much amount as you're comfortable on both wet and damp hair. And use a little amount of gel for the hold. Test both by air drying and diffusing.
I agree!🖤
Ew. It made your hair look greasy on video. It doesn’t seem like a very good product for waves
I knowwww 😭😭😭 I’m glad it showed up on camera!
Bro Who told you to use that much my god
I am personally offended for brad. 🤦♀
Hey if it's cool can you stop looking over at yourself while you're filming? It's really distracting to watch you keep looking at yourself over and over.
Have you tried L’Oréal dream lengths Wonder Water treatment ? Would you do review on that ? It’s been a good product in the uk 🇬🇧 x
I haven’t! I’ll have to look into it !🖤🖤
Is that like the 7 second wonder water?
@@melindab ah ok , I heard it’s quite popular 💜💜
@@9melissal 8 second hehe yes 😊
I tried it and did not like it either!
You did nothing mondo recommended come on 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I haven’t been able to find any product that is “curly girl” approved that actually defines my curls 😩
Kathleen lights just did a video with curl smith products! She talked about a product with protein that would probably help!
Kevin Murphy’s Curl Lotion is the best thing for curly hair
I wish This review was up when i bought this product ... it just drys my hair so much and tangels it
You need a brush. I have way more hair than you and don’t use that much mouse…
Ya u used way too much. 8 pumps on 1 section.. maybe for ur whole head!
Sorry you had such a bad time with this product! Watching you try to scrunch out the cast made me cringe for your poor hair! 😬
