I worked for a Korean woman that owned a salon (which I later managed). There was a Korean woman that was my aged that worked there as well. I learned SO MUCH. The education and training they receive in Korea is FAAARRR more advanced than anything we receive in the U.S. I was fortunate enough to learn some of the techniques from the other Korean stylist. She had the digital machine like the one in Guy Tangs video and the last one you showed. I assisted with a lot of the perms she performed on her Asian clientele. It was very involved. Again, I was fortunate to have those opportunities to learn more advanced techniques. It is very involved. There is a lot to learn. Asian hair is some of the most difficult hair to work with. I could go on and on about what we did, different techniques, products, clients, their hair, what most desire for their hair….SO MUCH! It’s incredible. I cannot express how much I appreciate their culture and how incredibly grateful I am that I was given the trust to learn what I did.
So awesome you had that opportunity! It’s not surprising what you said though regarding how much more they learn compared to The U.S. (Btw, my best highlights ever were actually from a Vietnamese lady who used an interesting technique: color only. No developer. I got compliments from men, that’s how awesome it turned out 😎)
@@kelseyhumphrey4538 it actually was to make golden highlights. And they were great money pieces. Like I said, even men complimented me on them. (I don't need to be right. I'm just sharing what I experienced.)
@@peekaboots01 well you'd have to do a bit of traveling. She is in Laos. When she told me what she was going to do I gave her the what are you talking about look. Then she pointed out that the young girl working for her had the same thing done. I loved the result I saw so I just trusted. And never looked back...
I have been getting digital perms and straights for over 20 years and can honestly tell you that they can literally give you whatever look you want. Also, you really don’t need to dry your hair. You can air dry it and just twist it a few times with your fingers and it will look stunning. Same with the straight.
doesn't it damage your hair in the long run? And do you have thick hair? Mine is thin and not very strong even though I finally started to take a really good care of it some time ago :(
@@dianatrif7085 depends on where you get it done. It’s technically cheaper to get it done in Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Philippines for sure) I go to a few salons in Hawaii and due to certain things like machine and chemicals for it being imported I usually pay roughly between $200-400 depending on salon and my hair length/perm style. Haircut is usually included and I normally tell them to keep it at shoulder length so I can grow it out a bit
I’ve had this done several times. In the states, I’ve payed between $180-250 for medium length hair and this process takes 5-7 hours to do. The results have always been worth it to me since it looks so natural.
Mine didn't last long. It disapeared completely after the 3rd wash... But I think it was bc the machine didn't work well... or it's just my hair that are too tough. My sister saw some of my hair came out nearly straight after being heated for 3-4 hours :(
Koreans do digital perms often! I prefer digital perm myself. It maintains curls/volume in the hair with less maintenance. The curls loosen over time naturally.
i got a perm in Korea and it was exactly like the 3rd person i never had such beautiful hair not damaged at all. i had virgin hair tho and my hairdresser legit had me reply to a questionnaire to make sure my hair could take it. he refused to do a perm on my friends damaged hair, really professional! it was not even expensive! i’ll do it again in a heartbeat. it lasted for more than a year too, truly magical
I got a digital perm on my virgin hair so I wouldn't have to do much with my hair when travelling for business, and it was the most amazing hair I've ever had. Looked great, so easy to maintain. Unfortunately I got it at the end of February 2020. 20 days later, I was in lockdown, no more business trips. 😅 I had 6 months of great hair in zoom calls. There were plenty of places offering it here in Sydney and it was only a couple of hundred dollars, would 100% recommend.
@@Msfitness3The perm will naturally fall out over time, so that's all it lasted. It can vary between people and hairtypes, but 6 months is about average. But even without the curls, the hair that received the solution was straighter than my regrowth which has a slight natural wave and is really thick.

I also recommend Blu Creativity who have digital perms listed as a service- I didn't get the perm with them but had a previous great experience with them for cutting/styling. Both are in Haymarket.
😂I died laughing when Brad almost falls out of his chair at the end and reacts the way he did. I watched it atleast five times. Love this video and the Korean Perm. And Brad, you have a stellar personality that just draws my attention to you so easily. You're awesome.
Digital perms are now common treatments in the Philippines! I used to feel so pressured to keep my thick naturally wavy-ish straight-ish hair stick straight due to dominant western beauty standards in Asia. But I decided to get one done in high school and that was the first time I felt like my hair was beautiful. Since then, I’ve been trying to transition my hair back to its natural waviness even after the digital perm “wore off” and I ended up cutting it. I’m all for embracing your natural hair and this was one of the turning points that lead to it.
I always thought straight hair was an Asian thing. Since most of the Chinese students I went to school with used to get them done regularly. And those very sharp haircuts that you don't really see in the west (they do look very pretty on black hair).
@@annafirth6738 that's true. Westerners however straighten their hair to achieve that. Eastern Europeans too, where I'm from. They prefer straight hair. More manageable I guess, more "tamed". I used to straighten it a lot too to keep up with the trend,and because everyone preferred it. But it's too damaging. I haven't put heat on in many years now, trying to keep it natural. I guess everyone wants what they don't have.
@@md.md16 I've got those surfer waves personally, and if I don't preen them right it's just fluff. You're too right people want what they don't have 🙂 I often think of some (black) comedian lamenting that he felt so jealous when white peeps ran their fingers through their hair (I can't remember who). But I love the lovely braids and fro's. I can see how traditional black hair would be difficult but there's a bit of me that's always a tad envious when I watch hair videos and see some amazing styles.
@@annafirth6738 We just have to find the right style for us to rock it 🥹 which is not easy. I live in the UK now, but I can't find someone who knows how to cut wavy hair, to best suit me. I just do my best at home, I don't do layers anymore, they never come out right, for some reason they turn towards outside, if it makes sense, not downwards to look nice. I just keep one lenght. 🙆🏻♀️
Brad is like the only person that I believe when he says I'm beautiful. I know it sounds silly but it's just something about the way he says it. Thank you Brad! Also, so glad you didn't fall off your chair!
I've always hated my naturally curly hair. But after seeing what people do to themselves just to get the curly hair I have every day makes me appreciate it a little bit more... It's still a pain in the ass though😂
I used to hate my curls. Now that I am older I love it. I grew it out super long and it's just so much easier for me to take care of. Can't believe I once tried to chemically straighten it. SMH. Embrace those curls!!
@zombieebunny The only thing I can personally think of is a very thick hair mask. The Garnier Nutrisse ones work pretty well and are not expensive. They work with my hair when I'm struggling. If that doesn't work you can always try a leave in conditioner. With curly hair you want a decent amount of product to keep it from frizzing out. Texturising mousse on the roots for the lift and body you want. And finish off with a little extra hold hair spray for hold. And if you want add a little hair gel for the edges. I hope I helped you out a little bit. These are just things I've done with my hair to help control it.
@@vanityplates3125 you could try a curl cream. I've used one for a while and has done wonders for frizziness and curl definition. I use a custom product from prose but I'm sure with some trial and error you can find the right one
Watching your videos as a beauty school drop out makes me feel like I probably shouldn't have dropped out because literally, I screamed at the last video and we both "oh my goddddd"ed at the same moments. Her hair in the last one was just SO beautiful, so healthy, bouncy, shiny! I feel so much passion towards hair in general because I have a lot of thick, COARSE hair. I wanted a perm so badly as a child but no hairdressers would do it because they said it would "ruin" my hair. My hair has been bleached to oblivion and back with 40 vol, my hair is near indestructable. It makes me sad I missed out on my childhood dreams of volume and curl because this method apparently wasn't available back then!
Brad is the ultimate hype friend we all need! And with stunning hair cutting skills and supplies we can access, he really makes sure we are always looking and feeling our best 💜
I got a digital perm done a few years ago and it was the ONLY time I was happy with a perm. It kept the shape pretty long too. But the process also took FOREVER!!!
Brad having a hairgasm over the way the hairdresser combed the little hairs in, how he blowdried the hair and the final product. It looks amazing btw. I want that.
This just looks like a modern version of the old school perm machines they used back in the 40’s/50’s. Those ones were admittedly a little scarier to look at though.
Yes! That was my first thought! I saw one years ago in my local historical society. That was FREAKY. They had some creepy looking mannequin with a horrible wig hooked up to it. It was nightmare fuel, but my weird ass loved it and thought it was so cool. Lmao
@@Sparrow-lh9qk my mom is a hairdresser and has been since the 80’s, she showed me pictures of them when I was a little kid and explained them to me. Both my grandmas used to get their perms with them. They were apparently quite prone to burning your scalp back then.
Interesting to see this old technique gain a spotlight again. Got my first digi-perm in the early 2000's and even then I remember it was old technology lol. But my curls lasted so long like 6mo minimum (and my hair hates holding any shape). However curling technique matters a lot since looking back, some digital perms can yield curls from another era and definitely look more old fashioned. Nice to see the technique has somewhat updated itself here to yield a fresher look.
Okay, I'm 247 years old but I can actually remember when we had those strange looking perm machines in this country. Each curler was attached to a cord that was attached to a machine and enough heat was generated to "set" the curl. I never had my hair done on one of those machines; I just saw them in salons. I did a double take when I saw that perm machine in the first part of this video. Takes me WAAAAY back. I've heard that there's nothing new under the sun and THIS certainly isn't new. It may be new in Korea but the last one I saw in this country was in the mid-60's. I think on the ones in this country the curler was actually a part of the machine but on the Korean model the curlers are separate. How tight the curl is depends on how long you leave the curler in. Just take them out sooner if you want a loose curl and leave them in longer if you want a tight curl. I never thought I would ever see one of these monstrosities again.
Okay I saw this machine when my mom went to do her hair and I wanted used on my hair. I thought 💭 it was cool and wanted to see what it did. I would want it still done 😊
This is the kind of thing that revs my engine. When I was in cosmetology school back in the 90's, we studied the history of perms. The earliest perms in America used a heat delivery system very similar to these, but with much more potential for damage. If I had stayed in the business, I would probably have been a perm specialist. I still give my mom perms 25 years later.
OMG as a hairdresser that last technique had me gasping in horror at first and then I was in COMPLETE AWE. that man is a perm god! what a beautiful result! xO
Wait, the last one was mind blowing. It looked amazing and like he used curlers, no perm here in the UK comes out looking that amazing! I am shooketh!😳😲🔥🙌
I never realized that ‘digital perm’ is a Korean thing. With our natural straight hair, we Asians are obsessed with making curls. When we say we’re going to the hair salon it is taken granted that we’re getting a perm of some sort. :)
So in Brazil the straight hair is everybody’s dreams. We have a lot of procédures to maintain the hair straight. The curls are cute for young girls only. It is a general preference that I dont agrée that much.
@@dlilwon I love afro hair but my hair is so damn straight that even that korean digital perm fail to make a good curl on my hair 😂 Let’s just appreciate what we have. Your hair looks gorgeous (if your profile pic is your selfie)
Brad. PERIOD. We need a perming on extreme long hair. Like I’m not talking to the shoulders, to the elbows. Like TO THE BUTT perm on a hair. I need it!!!
I had a Korean digital C-curl perm for my really frizzy and fine hair too but it was not fancy contraption like that. The first time I got it done it was terrible as the frizz was still bad and I went back to the salon. The owner did some work again (Not sure what she did) and after that it was great. I love that the Korean digital C curl perm does not give me hair that is so flat (compared to the traditional straight perm) and lacks volume. I still manage to have a bit of volume despite my texture. Love Korean digital perm.
This makes me think of the vintage permanent wave machine. It’s actually a very similar process except they say “digital” now. If you google vintage perm machine you will see pics that are basically the same.
They couldn’t do loose curls or beach waves. I think it’s more the technique with updated technology to bring less damage to your hair and the fact that you can’t get these perms in non-Asian salons
Those perms came out beautifully. However, I must point out they were done on Asian hair, which is thicker and is known for being able to withstand a ton of treatment. If I was to have that last perm (deconstruct/reconstruct the hair bonds, twist, heat steam, brush and set) done to me, my hair would be fried. 😊
This looks a lot like the old-fashioned perm machines of the 40's and 50's. When I was a kid I used to see them in beauty shops but never had the pleasure(?) myself.
We all had digi perms when I lived in Japan, they are amazing! Super easy to take care of, even if you are bad with hair stuff and they always look so natural!
This is almost spot on of what I wanted when I was younger. I wanted Julia Roberts hair in pretty woman so bad! I wanted huge bouncy curls without having to spend hours on my hair each day. Still jealous of those curls. Lol!
If you grew up in the 90s (aka without the internet) with curly hair like that, chances are it wouldn’t look like that due to the lack of knowledge on hair care for curly hair. It’d probably be a frizzy mess and you’d have grown up hating your “frizzy, unmanageable” hair.
@@gummy5862 lmao don’t lie, some people still managed to tame their curls properly. “Chances are” what a weird comment to make. All sis said was that she wanted the same curls as Julia Roberts lmfaooo
@@ejhdbegbeidishdj9358 I knew a girl who couldn’t manage her curly hair literally 1-2 years ago and kept using a round brush to brush her dry frizzy hair. Believe me, every girl you see with “frizzy” hair is a girl who abuses her curls.
Who else is with me That Guy Tang and Mondo need to colab? That is goals. Maybe they did and I missed it but I never found that video. I would so be hyped if they did. The energy level would hit the roof and beyond.
@Lord Voldemort just saw you on Charlotte's video yesterday, was I supposed to get an owl but wasn't at my window that day? Did my owl not forward to my new address? I have moved a lot...
Brad you always make me laugh. Your so unapologetically yourself and it’s so refreshing! You turn my day around. And your so relatable, ‘ I want everything but I can’t have everything 😂’ your just pure awesome sauce 🥸
I recently dyed my hair back to my natural colour to have it healthy rather than pink, and now I’m living my hair dreams vicariously through these kinds of videos. 💖
I actually had digital perm before from 2012 to 2019. Every year i always have my hair refreshed but ive finally moved on from perming because i already bleached my hair lol. Digital perm is really gorgeous and less maintenance (for me) i just twist and scrunch my hair after every shower and just apply hair product for it to stay the whole day.
I had a digital perm in Japan almost 10 years ago. It was fun and very easy to dry and style. Looked more like large ringlets on me, maybe because i have fine, non-asian hair. Straight perms though, those were my jam!
Those hairdressers have got some amazing skills. I've got waves naturally which I hate always wanted straight hair think I'm going to start loving my curls now thanks Brand Mondo.
I lost count of the amount of times I lol to Brads comments. He was saying what I was thinking. hahaha I'm not sure I'd jump on a digital perm for fear of destroying my hair but these results are wonderful.
I feel like they would need to have you sign a paper certifying that you're not pregnant or wearing nipple piercings before they hook you up to this thing.
Omg, Brad. I think you need to indulge your urge to learn about Korean perming. I love how excited you are about it and how intense your reactions are !!! 💗
Yes!! Thank you! So many people have never see those permanent wave machines, but I've always thought they were so cool. I really want to get a digital perm now since I always wanted to be strapped into a perm machine like that hahaha
Right! We were shown that when learning how to perm in my cosmetology school, I always thought it looked neat, but it was so iffy whether you'd burn all your hair off back then. I like the digital aspect, it seems slightly safer at least lol
Yes...I often wonder if Brad knows anything about the history of hair dressing? I've done so many of the techniques he criticizes. Though coloring hair with sharpies is a new thing... Love his videos though! He makes me laugh!
Wow im so envious right now, so many different techniques to create natural looking beautiful curls and waves. I have never seen stuff like that here in austria. There are so many different steps to follow, amazing
Yayaah!! I'm definitely perching the merch on your jewellery. I love jewellery to, but unfortunately haven't be able to treat myself lately. So yeah, definitely going to treat myself. Loving the new merch Brad. Thank you. X👍🏾😁❤️
Thanks to you I am embracing my natural hair more then ever. Watching your videos have given me the confidence boost I needed. Thank you so much Brad💖💖💖💖
lol i JUST did these digital perms last thursday i’ve been doing perms like this since i was 4 yrs old so i never thought this technique would feel so new to foreigners the feeling of your hair being pulled upwards and the moment the hairdresser unravels the thingys it’s SO satisfying so happy you discussed this in your channel😍
I have thick, somewhat wavy Asian (Korean) hair, and my mum loved the results of how natural the curls came out! If you’re able to, I’d highly recommend you try it out if you can! ❤️
Omg I’ve been looking for this style of perming for literally 8 or 9 years now! I randomly saw a video and was obsessed.. I don’t have the budget to have to go from london to Korea to get my hair done, but just twisting your hair as it dries to get curls that look perfect for 6 months? Yes please!! Whoever brings this tech to london will make a fortune! 😂
Look for Korean hair salons in Koreatown type areas!! These types of perms are still super popular in Korean Culture so most Korean owned salons should have the machines!
Brad, I got a digital perm in LA (mid length, unbleached, thick Korean hair) and it took 4 hours. Took tons of selfie while in the machine. My hair retained the perm smell for a week after but my hair was/still K-drama worthy.
I just LOVE when you give such positive feedback to other cultures/stylists/etc, it’s so refreshing! You are the best Brad! My mom owns a salon for 15 years now but it would be a dream for us to meet you!
I love your reactions haha...It was so fun watching you react to the videos. Just spotted my hair stylist Jameson in your video, he is literally a digital perm God! Digital perm been around for the longest time in Asia. I first did it 15 years ago and yes it looked just as beautiful.
There are literally people perming to get my natural texture ( My hair is like the second perm from guy tangs clip ) I’m speechless and finally feel pretty. But Tina’s friend Zen is what I want 😭
My hair is so thin, when I was 12 I got a perm, and it fell out in like 2 weeks, I would love to get a digital perm from the girls on Guy Teng s video! ! Those curls look AMAZING! !
Started getting these once a year since I was 19. I love it so much. A few things about this perm: 1) It’s a hot perm, so unlike a cold perm, it’s more curly when dry, so you don’t use mousse or gel. Because you don’t use mousse or gel, the styling while blow drying is very crucial and you can do so many different styles. 2) Because it uses heat, you can’t do it all the way to the roots unless you want it to burn your scalp, so that’s why in the first video, she choose to do an additional root perm. It gets kinda hot during the process, especially around the ears and neck 3) I have long hair (to the small of my back), so it takes 4-5 hours each time for me. It’s a very long process 4) It also isn’t very damaging for me despite what stylists have told me. Not sure if it’s because of my hair type, but I’ve never had damage from the perm. I have gotten damage from the styling process after the perm (using high heat from the blow dryer), but that’s more because if my carelessness. 5) It’s very highly recommended to have layers with this perm if you have longer hair because the perm along really shows up on the bottom 1/2 of the hair, so without layers, the line between curly and straight is very obvious
When he was breaking the bonds in her hair, I was also terrified. I have seen this happen by accident in Cos school when someone would use a acid instead of alkaline. Its insane that he brought her to that extreme of a bond break. I was freaking out with Brad 😨
I got my first digital perm back in 2004, and i had BEAUTIFUL perm that last 6-10 months. LOVED the fact that i did not have to blow-dry my hair and all i had to do after showering is add small amount of mousse to keep it from frizzing.
That last “straightening/perm” looks just absolutely amazing! It’s like after you take a million hrs to blow out then wand the hair, but it’s a rough easy dry and viola perfect style! Oh if I were a younger girl!

I used to straighten it a lot too to keep up with the trend,and because everyone preferred it. But it's too damaging. I haven't put heat on in many years now, trying to keep it natural. I guess everyone wants what they don't have.
@@md.md16 I've got those surfer waves personally, and if I don't preen them right it's just fluff.
You're too right people want what they don't have 🙂
I often think of some (black) comedian lamenting that he felt so jealous when white peeps ran their fingers through their hair (I can't remember who). But I love the lovely braids and fro's. I can see how traditional black hair would be difficult but there's a bit of me that's always a tad envious when I watch hair videos and see some amazing styles.
@@annafirth6738 We just have to find the right style for us to rock it 🥹 which is not easy. I live in the UK now, but I can't find someone who knows how to cut wavy hair, to best suit me. I just do my best at home, I don't do layers anymore, they never come out right, for some reason they turn towards outside, if it makes sense, not downwards to look nice. I just keep one lenght. 🙆🏻♀️
Brad is like the only person that I believe when he says I'm beautiful. I know it sounds silly but it's just something about the way he says it. Thank you Brad! Also, so glad you didn't fall off your chair!
I've always hated my naturally curly hair. But after seeing what people do to themselves just to get the curly hair I have every day makes me appreciate it a little bit more... It's still a pain in the ass though😂
Lol Exactly. Same here.
Snap lol
I used to hate my curls. Now that I am older I love it. I grew it out super long and it's just so much easier for me to take care of. Can't believe I once tried to chemically straighten it. SMH. Embrace those curls!!
@zombieebunny The only thing I can personally think of is a very thick hair mask. The Garnier Nutrisse ones work pretty well and are not expensive. They work with my hair when I'm struggling. If that doesn't work you can always try a leave in conditioner. With curly hair you want a decent amount of product to keep it from frizzing out. Texturising mousse on the roots for the lift and body you want. And finish off with a little extra hold hair spray for hold. And if you want add a little hair gel for the edges. I hope I helped you out a little bit. These are just things I've done with my hair to help control it.
@@vanityplates3125 you could try a curl cream. I've used one for a while and has done wonders for frizziness and curl definition. I use a custom product from prose but I'm sure with some trial and error you can find the right one
Watching your videos as a beauty school drop out makes me feel like I probably shouldn't have dropped out because literally, I screamed at the last video and we both "oh my goddddd"ed at the same moments. Her hair in the last one was just SO beautiful, so healthy, bouncy, shiny! I feel so much passion towards hair in general because I have a lot of thick, COARSE hair. I wanted a perm so badly as a child but no hairdressers would do it because they said it would "ruin" my hair. My hair has been bleached to oblivion and back with 40 vol, my hair is near indestructable. It makes me sad I missed out on my childhood dreams of volume and curl because this method apparently wasn't available back then!
Brad is the ultimate hype friend we all need! And with stunning hair cutting skills and supplies we can access, he really makes sure we are always looking and feeling our best 💜
My favorite is when brad says "the best part when they connect all the aux chords to her head and it just start playing music" - 8:24
Yay Tina! I love how Brad barely interrupted her video, she explained the process so clearly 😊
I only heard of this perm because of Tina so I was really happy to see her video here 😊
I got a digital perm done a few years ago and it was the ONLY time I was happy with a perm. It kept the shape pretty long too. But the process also took FOREVER!!!
“I want that…I want everything” LOL twins.
Brad having a hairgasm over the way the hairdresser combed the little hairs in, how he blowdried the hair and the final product. It looks amazing btw. I want that.
This just looks like a modern version of the old school perm machines they used back in the 40’s/50’s. Those ones were admittedly a little scarier to look at though.
Yes! That was my first thought! I saw one years ago in my local historical society. That was FREAKY. They had some creepy looking mannequin with a horrible wig hooked up to it. It was nightmare fuel, but my weird ass loved it and thought it was so cool. Lmao
@@Sparrow-lh9qk my mom is a hairdresser and has been since the 80’s, she showed me pictures of them when I was a little kid and explained them to me. Both my grandmas used to get their perms with them. They were apparently quite prone to burning your scalp back then.
Those electrocuted people, they were dangerous af.
It looks exactly like one of those monstrosities. It also does pretty much the same thing. The perms look way better though.
Yes, seen them in my book when I was still learning. Looked scary, and feom what I read, they Were uncomfortable as hell as well.
Interesting to see this old technique gain a spotlight again. Got my first digi-perm in the early 2000's and even then I remember it was old technology lol. But my curls lasted so long like 6mo minimum (and my hair hates holding any shape). However curling technique matters a lot since looking back, some digital perms can yield curls from another era and definitely look more old fashioned. Nice to see the technique has somewhat updated itself here to yield a fresher look.
I was getting ready to comment on the history of perms! I was like did they teach you that in school LOL
My school had an old school perm machine, idk the era but they were invented in the late 1920s! It was terrifying looking!
I might have read a paragraph in school but nowhere near in depth research and technique was covered
Okay, I'm 247 years old but I can actually remember when we had those strange looking perm machines in this country. Each curler was attached to a cord that was attached to a machine and enough heat was generated to "set" the curl. I never had my hair done on one of those machines; I just saw them in salons. I did a double take when I saw that perm machine in the first part of this video. Takes me WAAAAY back. I've heard that there's nothing new under the sun and THIS certainly isn't new. It may be new in Korea but the last one I saw in this country was in the mid-60's. I think on the ones in this country the curler was actually a part of the machine but on the Korean model the curlers are separate. How tight the curl is depends on how long you leave the curler in. Just take them out sooner if you want a loose curl and leave them in longer if you want a tight curl. I never thought I would ever see one of these monstrosities again.
Okay I saw this machine when my mom went to do her hair and I wanted used on my hair. I thought 💭 it was cool and wanted to see what it did. I would want it still done 😊
It is different, this is much more precise I guess+ digital
True. This isn’t anything new at all.
I called a bunch of places in my city asking about digital perms and no one had any idea what I was talking about 😅😭
247?
This is the kind of thing that revs my engine. When I was in cosmetology school back in the 90's, we studied the history of perms. The earliest perms in America used a heat delivery system very similar to these, but with much more potential for damage. If I had stayed in the business, I would probably have been a perm specialist. I still give my mom perms 25 years later.
I just recently discovered Brad and the few videos I’ve seen I think he had the sweetest most charming demeanor. Honestly it is so dang soothing.
The day just gets better when brad uploads!
OMG as a hairdresser that last technique had me gasping in horror at first and then I was in COMPLETE AWE. that man is a perm god! what a beautiful result! xO
"I want everything, but I can't have everything..." Brad Mondo, 2021. Most relatable quote of the year.
The way he said it was one of the cutest things I've heard this year
Wait, the last one was mind blowing. It looked amazing and like he used curlers, no perm here in the UK comes out looking that amazing! I am shooketh!😳😲🔥🙌
I never realized that ‘digital perm’ is a Korean thing. With our natural straight hair, we Asians are obsessed with making curls. When we say we’re going to the hair salon it is taken granted that we’re getting a perm of some sort. :)
I am west asian and its funny becauae we are obssesed with getting pin straight east asian hair and peopoe spend lots of money to get the treatment 😂
@@meggieqin8496 I guess we all want something we don’t have. :)
So crazy how us with Afro hair want it straight. As the saying goes, the grass is always greener on the other side.
So in Brazil the straight hair is everybody’s dreams. We have a lot of procédures to maintain the hair straight. The curls are cute for young girls only. It is a general preference that I dont agrée that much.
@@dlilwon I love afro hair but my hair is so damn straight that even that korean digital perm fail to make a good curl on my hair 😂 Let’s just appreciate what we have. Your hair looks gorgeous (if your profile pic is your selfie)
Brad. PERIOD. We need a perming on extreme long hair. Like I’m not talking to the shoulders, to the elbows. Like TO THE BUTT perm on a hair. I need it!!!
I had a Korean digital C-curl perm for my really frizzy and fine hair too but it was not fancy contraption like that. The first time I got it done it was terrible as the frizz was still bad and I went back to the salon. The owner did some work again (Not sure what she did) and after that it was great. I love that the Korean digital C curl perm does not give me hair that is so flat (compared to the traditional straight perm) and lacks volume. I still manage to have a bit of volume despite my texture. Love Korean digital perm.
This makes me think of the vintage permanent wave machine. It’s actually a very similar process except they say “digital” now. If you google vintage perm machine you will see pics that are basically the same.
They couldn’t do loose curls or beach waves. I think it’s more the technique with updated technology to bring less damage to your hair and the fact that you can’t get these perms in non-Asian salons
Got a digital perm a few years back in Japan and I loved that with the digital perm you can choose what kind of curls or waves you want.
The ending had me ded. 😂 So extra about almost falling off his chair. He really does live that extra life.❤️
Guy Tang and our Brad? The Gods of Olympus have arrived!
I literally screeched happy noises when I saw this🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Guy, Brad, and Hair Buddha. The trifecta
Those perms came out beautifully. However, I must point out they were done on Asian hair, which is thicker and is known for being able to withstand a ton of treatment. If I was to have that last perm (deconstruct/reconstruct the hair bonds, twist, heat steam, brush and set) done to me, my hair would be fried. 😊
This looks a lot like the old-fashioned perm machines of the 40's and 50's. When I was a kid I used to see them in beauty shops but never had the pleasure(?) myself.
Why was I literally thinking the same thing. I remember seeing them in movies and cartoons
I was just about to say this! Lol
I was thinking the same thing. I saw a picture of one at the barber shop I went to when I was a kid.
We all had digi perms when I lived in Japan, they are amazing! Super easy to take care of, even if you are bad with hair stuff and they always look so natural!
i'm sorry brad but this whole head of blond is your best look, you now have to keep it forever.
I like watching hairdressers roll the hair up for perms. It’s so satisfying to watch!
This is almost spot on of what I wanted when I was younger. I wanted Julia Roberts hair in pretty woman so bad! I wanted huge bouncy curls without having to spend hours on my hair each day. Still jealous of those curls. Lol!
even people with naturally curly hair have to spend hours on it lol
If you grew up in the 90s (aka without the internet) with curly hair like that, chances are it wouldn’t look like that due to the lack of knowledge on hair care for curly hair. It’d probably be a frizzy mess and you’d have grown up hating your “frizzy, unmanageable” hair.
@@gummy5862 lmao don’t lie, some people still managed to tame their curls properly. “Chances are” what a weird comment to make. All sis said was that she wanted the same curls as Julia Roberts lmfaooo
@@ejhdbegbeidishdj9358 I knew a girl who couldn’t manage her curly hair literally 1-2 years ago and kept using a round brush to brush her dry frizzy hair. Believe me, every girl you see with “frizzy” hair is a girl who abuses her curls.
Who else is with me That Guy Tang and Mondo need to colab? That is goals. Maybe they did and I missed it but I never found that video. I would so be hyped if they did. The energy level would hit the roof and beyond.
anyone else binge brad when they’re having a bad day?
@Lord Voldemort just saw you on Charlotte's video yesterday, was I supposed to get an owl but wasn't at my window that day? Did my owl not forward to my new address? I have moved a lot...
Yes
He's good for my mental health lol I love him!
Girl I had a horrible day and after 3 of his videos I’m feeling human again
Brad you always make me laugh. Your so unapologetically yourself and it’s so refreshing! You turn my day around. And your so relatable, ‘ I want everything but I can’t have everything 😂’ your just pure awesome sauce 🥸
I recently dyed my hair back to my natural colour to have it healthy rather than pink, and now I’m living my hair dreams vicariously through these kinds of videos. 💖
I actually had digital perm before from 2012 to 2019. Every year i always have my hair refreshed but ive finally moved on from perming because i already bleached my hair lol. Digital perm is really gorgeous and less maintenance (for me) i just twist and scrunch my hair after every shower and just apply hair product for it to stay the whole day.
I work for a Korean couple here in Canada and they do digital perms all the time ! It’s very cool to watch !
I love guy tang literally does the best hair color transformations
I had a digital perm in Japan almost 10 years ago. It was fun and very easy to dry and style. Looked more like large ringlets on me, maybe because i have fine, non-asian hair. Straight perms though, those were my jam!
Those hairdressers have got some amazing skills. I've got waves naturally which I hate always wanted straight hair think I'm going to start loving my curls now thanks Brand Mondo.
JUST WOW ON THAT FIRST ONE. i totally agree with brad, thats a medieval torture machine
It just reminds me of that scene in Clockwork Orange when he's hooked up to that contraption that's holding open his eyes and mouth.
I lost count of the amount of times I lol to Brads comments. He was saying what I was thinking. hahaha I'm not sure I'd jump on a digital perm for fear of destroying my hair but these results are wonderful.
That last transformation was gorgeous!! Literal hair goals!
I feel like they would need to have you sign a paper certifying that you're not pregnant or wearing nipple piercings before they hook you up to this thing.
Omg, Brad. I think you need to indulge your urge to learn about Korean perming. I love how excited you are about it and how intense your reactions are !!! 💗
The original perms from like 1920 were just like this. Everything old is new again.
Yes!! Thank you! So many people have never see those permanent wave machines, but I've always thought they were so cool. I really want to get a digital perm now since I always wanted to be strapped into a perm machine like that hahaha
Right! We were shown that when learning how to perm in my cosmetology school, I always thought it looked neat, but it was so iffy whether you'd burn all your hair off back then. I like the digital aspect, it seems slightly safer at least lol
Yes...I often wonder if Brad knows anything about the history of hair dressing? I've done so many of the techniques he criticizes. Though coloring hair with sharpies is a new thing... Love his videos though! He makes me laugh!
Yes but with a different lay pattern bc they was walking around looking like curly sue instead of these loose curl moments.
@@courtneypainter5073 it’s only been in like the last 20 years they have figured out how to create nice waves with a perm. Poodles 🐩 were the norm.
Wow im so envious right now, so many different techniques to create natural looking beautiful curls and waves. I have never seen stuff like that here in austria. There are so many different steps to follow, amazing
Yayaah!! I'm definitely perching the merch on your jewellery. I love jewellery to, but unfortunately haven't be able to treat myself lately. So yeah, definitely going to treat myself. Loving the new merch Brad. Thank you. X👍🏾😁❤️
That Korean digital perm looks like something we should all be lining up for. That last girl! Wow! The shine, the curls the bounce! 🥰
Brad is seriously the most amazing person. I've learned so much from his videos and he always spreads such positivity.
I love that when Brad advertises his products he doesn't take 10 minutes like other influencers
Thanks to you I am embracing my natural hair more then ever.
Watching your videos have given me the confidence boost I needed.
Thank you so much Brad💖💖💖💖
the last guy is silky smooth omg the way he moves is too unreal too slick
lol i JUST did these digital perms last thursday
i’ve been doing perms like this since i was 4 yrs old so i never thought this technique would feel so new to foreigners
the feeling of your hair being pulled upwards and the moment the hairdresser unravels the thingys it’s SO satisfying
so happy you discussed this in your channel😍
I neeeeeed a digital perm! 😍 the end results are *chefs kiss* perfection
I always blush at Brad's intro when he says, "Hi beautiful". I want to feel like he's talking to me. Surely I can't be the only one?
The last one was the most impressive and gorgeous...LOVE! 😍😍💯💯
This machine is straight out of a marvel villain's basement.
I mean damn.
That thing is insane.
OMG. These results literally took my breath away 😍😍🤤 they made my brain tingle 😂
I have thick, somewhat wavy Asian (Korean) hair, and my mum loved the results of how natural the curls came out!
If you’re able to, I’d highly recommend you try it out if you can! ❤️
Omg I’ve been looking for this style of perming for literally 8 or 9 years now! I randomly saw a video and was obsessed.. I don’t have the budget to have to go from london to Korea to get my hair done, but just twisting your hair as it dries to get curls that look perfect for 6 months? Yes please!! Whoever brings this tech to london will make a fortune! 😂
Look for Korean hair salons in Koreatown type areas!! These types of perms are still super popular in Korean Culture so most Korean owned salons should have the machines!
Ugh if I had the money I would have Brad taking care of my hair all day every day
I would let brad do anything to my hair! That last perm was to die for!!!😍 I need that in my life!
Brad, I got a digital perm in LA (mid length, unbleached, thick Korean hair) and it took 4 hours. Took tons of selfie while in the machine. My hair retained the perm smell for a week after but my hair was/still K-drama worthy.
What is the place called where you got it done?
Do you mind sharing name of salon? I'm in L.A. area and am looking to have this done.
Gorgeous! I'm also laughing at Brad's reaction to almost falling out of his chair 🤣 "My life flashed before my eyes!". Been there...
I just LOVE when you give such positive feedback to other cultures/stylists/etc, it’s so refreshing! You are the best Brad! My mom owns a salon for 15 years now but it would be a dream for us to meet you!
Brad looks amazing with the little bit of facial scruff he's rocking
I love your reactions haha...It was so fun watching you react to the videos. Just spotted my hair stylist Jameson in your video, he is literally a digital perm God! Digital perm been around for the longest time in Asia. I first did it 15 years ago and yes it looked just as beautiful.
There are literally people perming to get my natural texture ( My hair is like the second perm from guy tangs clip ) I’m speechless and finally feel pretty. But Tina’s friend Zen is what I want 😭
I get so much joy out of watching Brad's expressions then I do the videos.
The client definitely cares when you tell them their ends are dry and crusty.. 😭
Braddd! I don’t know what it is about this video but you look so fresh and young and vibrant and BEAUTIFUL!!! Your videos brighten my day!!
My hair is so thin, when I was 12 I got a perm, and it fell out in like 2 weeks, I would love to get a digital perm from the girls on Guy Teng s video! ! Those curls look AMAZING! !
Your hair fell out or the curls fell out? I have thin flat hair and i would love the get a perm but i am afraid of the damage.
Just as I started watching I tought "oh he should se how it was done to Zenn" :D and yeeey, Seeing Tina video here is like cheffs kiss
Started getting these once a year since I was 19. I love it so much. A few things about this perm:
1) It’s a hot perm, so unlike a cold perm, it’s more curly when dry, so you don’t use mousse or gel. Because you don’t use mousse or gel, the styling while blow drying is very crucial and you can do so many different styles.
2) Because it uses heat, you can’t do it all the way to the roots unless you want it to burn your scalp, so that’s why in the first video, she choose to do an additional root perm. It gets kinda hot during the process, especially around the ears and neck
3) I have long hair (to the small of my back), so it takes 4-5 hours each time for me. It’s a very long process
4) It also isn’t very damaging for me despite what stylists have told me. Not sure if it’s because of my hair type, but I’ve never had damage from the perm. I have gotten damage from the styling process after the perm (using high heat from the blow dryer), but that’s more because if my carelessness.
5) It’s very highly recommended to have layers with this perm if you have longer hair because the perm along really shows up on the bottom 1/2 of the hair, so without layers, the line between curly and straight is very obvious
ugh!! brad's videos are never boring!! i seriously wanna have him as my personal hairstylist at least once in my life😭😭❤
When he was breaking the bonds in her hair, I was also terrified. I have seen this happen by accident in Cos school when someone would use a acid instead of alkaline. Its insane that he brought her to that extreme of a bond break. I was freaking out with Brad 😨
I think I once saw a perm machine from the early 20 th century when perms were invented? This process reminds me of that. Thank you Brad for sharing.
1 year deciding and still contemplating. Is this a sign to get that digi perm? 🤣
If you’re able to, I’d highly recommend you try it out if you can! ❤️
if youre thinking about something for a year just try it!!!!
this is your sign!
I got my first digital perm back in 2004, and i had BEAUTIFUL perm that last 6-10 months. LOVED the fact that i did not have to blow-dry my hair and all i had to do after showering is add small amount of mousse to keep it from frizzing.
This is terrifying but also amazing at the same time!
Also….just ordered myself a piece of jewelry! 💜💜💜
I can’t find the jewelry on the website? Can you tell me where you found it? Wasn’t under merch
How did I get here? 😂🤣😂🤣
Brad’s personality, love, respect, and flare is everything!! 🥳😘💞💖
This is literally an updated version of perm machines from the 40-50. Anyone who is licensed or knows hair history should recognize this 🤷🏾♀️
Absolutely. I remember them well.
Haha thank you.I learned about these in school and was like technically this isn’t new just re-invented.
Actually it goes further back in time to the 1920s/30s
@@misslauren319As a former Hairdresser, that was the first thing that came to my mind... Just updated technology.
Exactly that’s what I said
That last “straightening/perm” looks just absolutely amazing! It’s like after you take a million hrs to blow out then wand the hair, but it’s a rough easy dry and viola perfect style! Oh if I were a younger girl!
This technique has been around for years. I’m really surprised as a popular hair guy Brad has never heard of it.
Ah! I just got a Vitaly necklace and thought, “This looks like something Brad Mondo would wear.” So cool that you’re working with them!
