You can open your eyes in three, two, one! I woke up today through on my summer picnic shirt because we are doing an outdoor makeover. Over the past couple of years on my channel, you guys have seen me makeover spaces ranging from bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms, and really everything in between. So today I thought, why not conquer something I have never actually worked on before and that is an outdoor space? I'm also super thrilled to say that today's video is sponsored by the Home Depot. They sent over so many incredible outdoor necessities for this space because I am surprising my manager with an outdoor makeover. I've had the same manager for about two years now. Her name is Miriam and she is absolutely incredible. And she recently moved into a new apartment over in Santa Monica area and she has such a cute little backyard space. I went over for dinner one night recently and I was like, I need to make over this backyard. So I thought, why not go ahead and surprise her while she is gone for the next seven days in Texas I'm going to be making over her backyard space. Miriam has done so much for me over the past two years and I'm so excited to be giving this back to her and I also really want to do her living room as well. So we'll see how that goes, but I'm going to go ahead and jump on into the inspiration and we can start mood boarding and kind of concepting this space out because I literally have no idea what I want to do. So let's get started. When pulling inspo for this space, I really wanted to go with a more neutral palette. There's a large pink bush in the backyard. So I wanted to ensure that the pink bush was kind of statement and everything around it just enhanced it and overall just made the space feel really nice and inviting. Not to mention it is a rented space. So everything does need to be renter friendly, of course. And this was all made possible because of the Home Depot. The Home Depot has all of the top quality products that you need to help take your outdoor space to the next level this season, which is exactly what we're doing in Miriam's outdoor space. As you could see, they have so many different items to choose from, whether it be furniture, landscaping, gardening, power equipment, storage, sheds, lawnmowers. Home Depot truly has you covered. And not to mention, the Home Depot also offers project ideas and attachments so that you can easily entertain outdoors. Now I wanna go ahead and break up the backyard space into three main sections. So the first one's going to be our grilling section. So of course we need a nice trigger grill for that section. I also wanna have a really comfy sitting area. So I was thinking a patio outdoor sectional would be perfect for that space. And then another more like dining area with a little miniature dining table and a couple of chairs. So here's what I ended up getting from the Home Depot. I opted for this really great outdoor sectional. I loved the color of the wood along with the light toned cushions. It also came with the coffee table, which was amazing. Miriam and her roommate actually really enjoyed cooking. So I thought this Traeger Pro Series 22 Grill was perfect and it was in a bronze color, which I loved. I also got a couple sets of these string lights just so we can add those nice vibes during the nighttime. And last but not least, Miriam actually already owned this dining set which is available on Home Depot's website. So I'll link all of these below for you guys. But all I have to do now is just wait for them to come in and we could start working on the space. Hello you guys. I am in an environment that I normally am not seen in, which is outdoor. Well, at least not seen it on my channel, you know? Like I've never really done an outdoor makeover before. This is my first ever outdoor space I'm transforming.  She has a super cute backyard area. It is not too big. It's not too small. So I figured this is a perfect space for me to kind of test out my outdoor skills. I have never done an outdoor space before. And honestly, it is so much different than an interior space. Like interior and exterior design is two totally different things. So essentially I'm going to be enhancing this space as much as I possibly can, which I'm very excited for. But today we are focusing on a little bit more of a tedious task, but a really unique and fun one to say the least. Now this morning I stopped by Home Depot on my way here. I picked up a Ryobi pressure washer. But not only am I pressure washing the cement, I'm pressure washing over the top of a concrete stencil. I don't know if you guys have ever heard of these before, but these are essentially stencils that you can place over the top of your concrete. You're gonna pressure wash inside of the bricks to reveal essentially a faux cobblestone look. I do not know how long this is gonna take. I don't know how it's gonna work. I've never used a pressure washer. I've never stenciled. So this should be fun, but we're gonna do it together and crossing our fingers that it works you guys. So let's go ahead and get started. As I wanted to save a little bit of time because I wanted to pressure wash the stencil into the ground and then give it time to dry so we can actually see what it was gonna look like. I didn't want to start and not like the process. So I went ahead and I pressure washed two sets of the stencil and you guys, it looks so good. I cannot believe how white this concrete is getting by the way, that is crazy. I think I might even pressure wash the bricks back here as well, but the thing I think I'm gonna change is actually the orientation. I think I'm gonna do it diagonally because I feel like it will make it look a little bit more organic. When it's very linear, you can actually kind of tell that it's stenciled because it's very symmetrical. So I'm hoping that just the diagonal method will make it appear maybe a little bit less symmetrical and maybe just overall appear a little bit more organic. If you're heading for the coast, voice is up ahead. I slept on a pair of boots and I got to work, you guys. This was not hard at all. It was just very time consuming. I believe the entire floor took me about four to five hours to do, which I mean, isn't too bad, but it was time consuming. Now the register marks on the outside of the stencil make it super easy to align up and essentially you are washing the concrete where the brick shape's gonna go. And then the dirt that's left behind is actually gonna act as the grout line. So this is totally renter friendly. You can wash away the grout line in the future with a pressure washer if you'd like to and kind of keep this really fun cobblestone pattern. For insulating the gold.  I'm not gonna lie, it always looks very stark when it is wet, but as it dries, it's gonna be a little bit more tone on tone, which we love. So I'm gonna continue working on to this section, this section and then that section there. It's all right, it's all right, it's all right. It is now probably three hours after I started and I think this is where I'm going to stop for the day. Now I wasn't sure if I wanted to do all of the entire area or go ahead and just do like one little more focal area and I think I'm just gonna go ahead and stick with these three panels for now and if I wanna add more later, I totally can. I have the stencil, I have the pressure washer, I will catch you guys back here tomorrow morning. I wanna put together some of the furniture, I have some string lights to hang, some vibes to create and some DIY projects as well. So I will see you guys in the morning. Good morning everyone, it is the next morning and I have some bittersweet news I feel like. So of course the stencil ended up drying overnight. I came back this morning and I wanna share with you guys the current state of what it looks like. It's a little bit challenging to film because the sun is beating down directly at the moment but as you can see this patch right here actually ended up turning out pretty good but as we move over to the left side you can kind of see how the pattern starts to phase out a little bit and I believe that that is because I think the concrete over in this area was just so much dirtier than the concrete over in this area here but honestly I'm just gonna go ahead and work with what we have here because you can still kind of see a subtle pattern through and I think once we have all the furniture and everything it's just gonna enhance the flooring. All around I just thought it was gonna look a little bit more even and smooth and just pretty but I mean this still looks nice.  Let's just say that. But the thing that I wanna start working on it this morning is actually getting some of the furniture and larger pieces that Home Depot sent over kind of assembled and in their position so we can see what we need to add, what I wanna DIY, what I basically just wanna do to the space. A lot of you guys probably know that I enjoy building furniture. It's something I do like. I feel like it's a little bit therapeutic for me and this piece from Home Depot in particular was so fricking simple to put together. I cannot tell you how easy this was. I really thought I was gonna take it out of the box and have to piece every single part of it together but the larger sections were already done for you so you just used a couple of screws to connect those together and I believe the whole sectional took me around 45 minutes to build from start to finish which I think was pretty quick. The underside of this piece actually has these little connectors which made it super simple to connect up the entire sectional so that none of the pieces disconnected from each other. Then I went ahead and placed down all of the cushions and I love this color. It just goes perfectly with the concrete and the pink flowers and the ivy and the wood and it complements and contrasts with the wood tone very nicely as well and I love that this also came with a matching coffee table. Couch has successfully been built you guys and it looks really, really nice over here. I love just how this kind of bush kind of goes over there and then we have the ivy here, the bricks back there, the wood. This is just a really nice kind of silhouette there. Birds are chirping. There she is. I see her over there.  And surprisingly, you guys, this was super easy to build. It was nice because all of the main components were already built for you. You're more so just like connecting up the pieces. So we're gonna move over to the opposite side of the bush and this is gonna be our little grill section. So I'm gonna start unboxing the grill that Home Depot sent because I'm very excited to see the color. So we're gonna set that up right over here.  I was a little bit intimidated to put together a grill. I've never done that before. You know, grills are, they're a heavier piece of equipment so I wanted to make sure I was doing it properly.  It was very, very easy. I would say out of a one out of 10, how hard it was, it was a two out of 10, super easy. Grill is in place and the color is so pretty. This is the shade bronze and I loved whether it looks with the black there. It kind of relates back to our warm tone of wood in the furniture, which is really nice. And then inside of course, we have a couple racks for grilling on. There's a little chimney over here, which I think adds a cute little touch to this grill vibe.  So very happy with this. And I think Miriam's going to love having this grill here. It's a perfect size for this little corner alcove as well. So very happy with that. My hair looks crazy.  It is worth it. Pressure washed all of the concrete over here. It's currently drying and I moved their current dining table into position or not dining table, but outdoor kind of dining table. This is actually from Home Depot as well. They had purchased this a while back. It's still available for you guys. So I will make sure to link it below for you. We're going to liven up this wall a little bit right here. It's going to be a lot of fun. So I'll see you guys in the morning. Stopping at Home Depot this morning to pick up a couple of supplies for the little DIY herb garden that I want to create. So my first stop of course was to gather my herbs. I got the Bonnie herbs, which are from Home Depot. They are incredible, incredible quality. They have so many different types of herbs, fruits, vegetables, whatever you want. And it is DIY time you guys. So I used three, two by four pine boards, six wall-mounted potholders, which you can find at Home Depot, two inch wood screws, a power drill. I also used a miter saw.   So we're essentially making our ladder be six foot and six inches tall. So here I am cutting off 16 inches. I'm going to use that same scrap piece and go over to our second piece, draw the line and cut off that extra 16 inches. So that we have two symmetrical board lengths. Now what I'm doing here is I'm actually measuring in one and a half inches on the top. And then I'm measuring four inches down. And I'm going to create two lines, which I'm then going to connect together like this to create this little triangle section. I'm actually going to bring this over to the saw and cut this little triangle out. And this is going to make the ladder lean a lot nicer on the wall and kind of almost grasp the wall a little bit. On your third, two by four, you're going to want to go ahead and cut out three 25 inch pieces of wood. These are going to be the horizontal bars of our ladder. So just cut those out of your third piece. And then we're going to start constructing the ladder itself. So I actually measured down 16 inches from the top of one of our legs. And this is where our first horizontal bar is going to go. So I measured 16 inches down, placed it on top. And I just traced around it with a pencil because I'm going to want to drill some pilot holes later. Now in between each horizontal bar, I'm just doing 12 inches. This is the perfect amount of length for our little pots we're going to be adding later. So I went ahead and I just traced again around that section. So I know exactly where that wood piece is going to go. And the easiest way to get symmetrical holes is just to stack both of the legs of your ladder on top of each other. Use your first one that you have created the template on top of with the wood and just drill two pilot holes through each section that you traced out as shown here.  So in those two pilot holes that you created, it now is super simple to know exactly where you want your horizontal bars to be. And that's why I traced them out to start. Then I used some two inch long wood screws to go ahead and connect those pieces together. Now, once you have one side fully connected, I found it was easiest to just go ahead and connect to the second side while the ladder was standing up just so you can see exactly where you want those pieces to go. Alrighty, so this is kind of the structure that's going to be built for the base of the earth garden. And these little horizontal slats here are going to be where the pots are going to go. I got a little pot holder for each pot. So there's going to be six of them on there. But the reason I cut the little angles at the top was so that it kind of mounted a little bit nicer to the top of the wall there. I'm going to go ahead and stain this quickly and then we can add the pots to it. Breaking out my favorite wood stain, this is early American. It is such a perfect, dark, warm, kind of vintagey tone wood color, which I love. So I went ahead and I just stained the entire ladder base with this wood stain because the next step that we're actually going to do is be applying on the little ring pot holders. These are actually found directly at Home Depot. They're $3 a piece. So I ended up picking up six of these. And how I attached them was actually measuring in six and a half inches from each side of the ladder. I created a vertical line as shown here. And I just basically placed it right over top, ensuring that the vertical line went directly through the two little holes on that little pot holder. And I screwed them in using a couple of screws. And once I had all of my pot holder sections screwed in, we were able to go ahead and place the potted plants inside of each. But let me share with you guys how I potted these. So of course, I went ahead and used the Bonnie herbs. I used a ton of different herbs just because I really wanted this to be a cute little herb garden. And I got a couple of terracotta pots also super affordable from the Home Depot. I poured in some soil and I just planted my herbs in each. Now I am not a gardener, but I do know that you're kind of supposed to break up the roots a little bit when you de-pot and then re-pot a plant. So I broke them up a little bit, used some excess soil just to pack it in on top and ensure these were perfect in their new little terracotta pot home. And then once I had them all planted, I was able to slip them into each of the rings and that finished off our little herb garden. Good morning you guys. It is the last day of the makeover.  We are going to be adding all of the decor, all of the finishing touches. And also I apologize for not even talking to you guys yesterday or the last time I filmed. I literally just did my little DIY, fixed a couple of things and left on my way to go edit a little bit. I actually spent all morning just going around and finding some decor for the space just to enhance it a little bit. I found an outdoor rug. Let's go ahead and add the finishing touches and we can reveal this space to Miriam when she gets home in about two hours. Her roommate's gonna go pick her up at the airport in a little bit. So this is going to be an exciting reveal. Oh, I also forgot to mention you guys that the lights were hung up. I don't know if you could see those. So I got an extension cord so I can connect that up. I'm gonna run it around the flooring that way. It didn't have to go down the wall over here. I thought it would look not that great if there was like a bright orange extension cord down the wall. So I'm doing it around at the bottom of the floor and kind of just kind of tuck it into the underside of the brick, which I think should work. So yeah, let's get started on it styling at the sectional area. Now when it came to styling the sectional, I knew I wanted to keep it simple, but cute, but chic, but elevated, but classy. There was a lot of different vibes I wanted to go for. So I did a little bit of a mixture of these striped pillows with the jute pillows with those little white textural lumbars. And then I also threw down a round rug, which I love this because in an indoor space, I would never do something like this, like throw down a round rug and offset the coffee table. I don't know why, but outside, I just feel like it goes so well. I threw a couple of floor pillows down just to make it really inviting. And I also added this little lantern. So I went ahead, I had my extension cord. I ran it around the like perimeter of the backyard and I actually wrapped it with masking tape just to kind of camouflage it a little bit more in this area. All right, you guys, I just got word from Miriam's roommate that she is home, they just pulled up and I'm basically going to surprise her. She has no idea any of this has been happening while she is gone. This is the first time I've done like a full on surprise. So I guess we should just go ahead and see if she's out there. You guys, she doesn't know, she doesn't know anything that's happening. Hello. What are you doing? Oh, I'm just in your backyard. Oh, there's no boxes here. So I know we were talking about your backyard space. It feels so weird, you guys, probably why I'm right here. I know we were talking about your backyard. So while you were gone in Texas for the past week, I actually made over your entire backyard space because you have the cutest backyard and I thought we could totally do something really fun. And so I want to reveal it to you. Wait, let me see. I am dying. Let's go, we're running back. Drew. A little bit this way. A little bit this way. Okay, this is a good spot right here, I think. While you're gone, I did a little backyard transformation and I just want to reveal it to you. So I guess you can open your eyes in three, two, one. Oh my God. So cute. This is so cute, you guys. I know. It looks so... Oh my God. Oh yeah, okay, so the floor. I actually stenciled it and the nice thing about the floor is that, well, not the nice thing. It didn't work all the way over here but it's kind of nice how it fades from up. This really stenciled area and it's retro friendly too. I just like literally pressure washed it with a stencil. And take a seat. Oh my gosh. This is the cutest thing I've ever seen. Isn't this so cute? We have the grilling section. Yes. And I got you a trigger grill. Oh my God. You know I love grills. Yes, I know that you and your roommate really love cooking. So I thought this would be a really nice addition and it's like small and it's cute because it's kind of thromzy. I thought it was a little bit feminine. I love it, I love the color. Do you like it? I'm just really excited to see it at night time. Oh my God. Because I haven't had to see it at night time yet. And I look at it and it's really cute. It's really such a vibe. I feel like we'll all sit over there and I'll have a light on. Like we can have like a little party like this. It's just perfect. Look at your vibe. I think I know. This is the best design I've ever seen in my life. And you guys, that finishes off this outdoor makeover. I hope that you enjoyed this video. It was unlike anything I've ever done before. It's my first outdoor space and it was so much fun. The backyard definitely has so many really cute qualities such as the brick, you know, the wood. We have these vines, which definitely help. And I just love absolutely everything Home Depot sent over and I can't believe I did a surprise. Like I am somebody that gets so nervous about surprising somebody. I don't know if you guys are like that at all.  The birds are chirping, which is a good sign. I think they like it as well. I hope that you guys enjoyed this video. I just wanna thank Home Depot so much again for making this video possible and sending over these incredible outdoor pieces for my manager's backyard. Home Depot truly has everything that you guys need for outdoor, whether it be furniture, decor, you know, power tools, lawnmowers, sheds, whatever you need, they have it. So definitely check out the Home Depot linked in the description box below. And I would love to know also if you were to do this outdoor space what would you have done differently or would you have done the same thing? I would love to hear you guys' ideas because honestly outdoor is a bit challenging for me. It's a new area. So I'd love to know what you would have done in this space. So leave a comment below and I'll catch you guys in at my next one. Have an amazing rest of your day. Bye guys. Thanks again to the Home Depot for sponsoring this video.


a church, but in a few little parts it will cost to be religious, so it's just a general sort of ceremony. I get it, but let's say... So a Jew is not supposed to enter a church, certainly not, while Christian services are going on, because from a Jewish perspective Christianity is idolatry for a Jew, not necessarily idolatry for a non-Jew. Islam has a stricter monotheism, so Judaism does not regard Islam as idolatry. I think most Christians in the funeral are very religious, so you still have a religious identity. So I wonder if you can attest to that, because the walking don't be... So when I go in the semi-come with us this summer, God willing, the central Europe, we did the hustle and soffers together, it cost them a fortune, because it's a special place. So when Princess Diana died, the chief rabbi of the British Empire, Jonathan Sacks, he led a group of Jews to outside the cathedral. They did not go inside for the funeral. This is Pocotia. Tuma and Tara first do the impurity that's associated with dead bodies. This is ritual impurity, it's not impurity as in dirty hands, it's a spiritual form of impurity. But then I started wondering, well maybe that's not really true, what do the modern scholars say? Maybe what I'm saying reflects older scholarship. So I pulled out the Encyclopedia Jenaika, which itself is not the most modern, it's talking almost 50 years old, and it does say some scholars assign these tractates to the end of the Goni Period, but recent scholarship favours a much earlier date. So the Encyclopedia Jenaika was produced about 50 years ago, it's largely a work of secular academic Jewish scholarship, it's not a religious document.


Hi, dude. Thank you for being here. You already know what's going on, obviously, because I title things. There are titles upon these YouTube videos. Ah, ouch, hurt. We're watching some people use my curtain bang tutorial to cut their own curtain bangs. And if you've been following me for a while, you would know that these videos scare me the most because I always feel if they don't do a great job, I have failed as a tutorialist. So hopefully things go swimmingly today. And these people end up with great curtain bangs. Oh, I also have new merch. Oh, did I accidentally bleach my hoodie and my sweatpants in the washing machine? No, that's on purpose. Yeah, so we have new bleach wash, matching live your extra life pants and hoodie. And they're so comfortable and I'm obsessed. If you would like to grab your own, they are linked below or at xmenowhair.com. So let's see if these people can follow my directions and end up with spectacular curtain bangs. Let's do it. Our first contestant today in the competition, if you can follow Brad Mondo's tutorial correctly, is Tina Young. And this is called cutting my own curtain bangs with the help of Brad Mondo. I heard he's not a real hairdresser. So hopefully he can somehow teach you how to do it. I want to cut like a bang that's a little bit thicker and then something that can kind of like frame my face. She's so pretty. Please tell me she doesn't do anything bad to her bangs.  I'm going to need to wet my hair so I need like a bottle of water and then like a hairdryer and a round brush. The most important thing here is to just listen to me and observe before actually trying it on your own hair. Cause I see some of you guys out there just going, oh yeah, I heard what he said. Step one, wet the hair, dampen it because that's going to weigh it down and kind of like straighten everything. We're going to take the bangs back about two or three inches up to you, depending on how thick you want them. I am going to take these down to about the end of her eyebrow. I don't know if I'm going to go in that thick. I'm starting to sweat. I want you guys to end up with a great result. But I think I need to grab more. She's doing a phenomenal job at parting her hair. This step honestly can be the hardest for some people. I think that's the ring finger and the thumb. He's holding his hands like this. I'm so sorry, you guys. I actually didn't think that that would be difficult. But now that I'm thinking about it, it probably is. So if you can't hold scissors like that, don't. I wasn't thinking about that when I'm sorry. Can always go shorter, you can't go longer.  We're going to sneak. I'm scared. Here we go. The first snip. Yo, she's getting rid of a lot of length. I'm going to try my best to cut something decent. Those cuts were beautiful. They were nice and long cuts.  It was beautiful. This is not very straight. So let me just fix this. They are a little uneven.  One side starts getting shorter and then the other side longer and you go back and forth until your hair's like all the way up here. So we're going to part the hair. Then we're going to over direct the hair across the other side opposite of where the part is. We're also going to make sure our fingers are parallel to the section up here. So you're going to get something like that. Oh, okay. So this is when it gets a little bit more technical and a little bit more difficult. So hopefully she can handle it. And now he combs this section across. Yeah. Yes. Just to hold it like that in between my fingers. And now all we have to do is cut off those longer pieces. So I'm going to hold it across. That is looking choppy. It does not look choppy. That looks so good. Oh, it's a good day. It's a good day to be Brad Monday. So again, kind of brushing it over, combing it over.  It looks good enough. Fringe or sister is not twins, okay. And then the two end pieces. And make sure they are the same length. Okay, so I just got to double check my work again. Grab the two end pieces, bring them together. I'm just going to sniff it a little bit. I guess it looks kind of even. You guess? It looks dope. I am now going to just blow dry her hair for you. Okay, so I'm just going to style the rest of my hair and then we're going to blow dry this and try to make it look more like cotton bangs. I can't wait to see her hair dry. These are going to look so good on her. So now with this fringe part, I'm just going to use my round brush and then just like blow dry it and kind of just twist and turn my brush as I dry. But first, I just need to make sure it's all going straight because I did have a center part. That is like just looking like. It's just very choppy, huh? I think I do need to like blend it in these side bits. I wish she not freaking out excited right now because I'm freaking out excited. Look at that on the side. I'm freestyling this because I remember I did this with the other bang. Sneep, sneak, sneak, sneak, oh my God, that's a lot of hair. Okay, we're adding face framing layers. I think in my tutorial I said that's the next step but I believe she stopped watching me at this point. She's like, I got the confidence now. I'm going to keep going. I'm going to do this myself. You're doing the right thing, so we're okay. I'm just going to hold my scissors like this and then just trim a little bit just to make them a little bit thinner. It's looking a little bit too heavy, just slightly. Okay, we're point cutting. Okay, hairstylist. This is like, I need a stylist daily to make it look good and I'm not going to lie.  There's moments where I love it and then there's moments where I kind of regret cutting it but just have to accept that it has a mind of its own. Overall, the tutorial was actually really easy to follow. First of all, sad that you don't love them. They look amazing. Second of all, thank you. I'm glad it was easy to follow. And third of all, let me check if I put in a portion about thinning them. This will slightly give you some separation. You've stopped watching the video. You need to wash the rest in order to thin the hair out. You're supposed to elevate the hair, point cut into it, release the hair. It would have given you so much great layering inside of the fringe. I show you how to connect the fringe to the rest of your hair. I knew I didn't miss that. Next time finish the video, okay?  Great job, Gina. Thank you for sharing that video and thank you for making that video. Let's move on to the next contestant. Up next, we have a video by Keisha Mua and this is called Cutting Curd Bangs with Brad Mondo. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Such a hard time saying my own name. Blah, blah, blah. Brad Mondo. Brad Monduki. Everybody loves the good middle part these days. We all know those are also very trendy. We're gonna take the bangs back about two or three inches. I want a noticeable difference so we're gonna go for a thicker bang. I love the wrist. I love it and I love a noticeable difference. So you should have this little triangle section right here. Does she look symmetrical? I think so. Those parts, spectacular. Every part of this is very important but like getting the starting parting right is really a make or break sometimes. You can always go shorter, you can't go longer, all right? So I'm gonna start off a little bit longer than that and Brad went a nose level. I'm gonna go to the middle of my lips. She did that. We've cut this much hair. Oh my God, that was a great cut though. It seemed like it was very straight, so that's good. Parallel to the parting and then I hold my fingers parallel to the parting. All we have to do is cut off those longer pieces. We're gonna get a beautiful angle. We're gonna take this, pull it over and make sure my fingers are parallel. I wanna show you guys how I'm cutting but at the same time, I wanna see what I'm doing. I wanna see the moment of truth. I better get a beautiful edge. I mean, what is that? She didn't over-direct enough. The more you over-direct, the more you're gonna get that shorter length to a longer length. It's gonna be more severe. It's gonna be a nice slope town. The more you over-direct the opposite side. So the less you over-direct, the less of a slope. I should have said that in the video. Parallel fingers. I am now gonna just blow dry her hair for ya. Yeah! Why do you guys keep regretting it? And you keep saying your hair's short. I mean, I guess it's short. It's definitely shorter. It's a curtain bang, you know? And cut into the hair.  I'm just gonna have to do it like this because I can't see. Oh my God, guys. I think I cut way too much over there. They're still looking good though. I think it'll be fine. I like to blend my hair in with the rest. I'm just gonna take it like that. Follow the end of the fringe down to the bottom of her hair. Okay. I'm sweating, but that was really good. This side feels like there's so much more hair.  Like, this is so good. Just the fact that you're so confidently cutting your hair following my guide makes me really excited. You can teach people how to do their own hair. I'm gonna quickly try to style it myself and I will be back to show you guys the final product. Oh. Oh. I definitely do like it, like, more messier.  I wish it kinda like scooped down a little bit more over here to like hit my cheeks, but that is okay. In terms of the shape, I think I got it pretty spot on. So his instructions were nice and clear. That was a glow up right before my eyes with that cut. Oh my God.  Not really mad. I think that the next time we're gonna do this, I'll be better at it. Oh my God. It really accentuates her bone structure, brings more tendons to her eyes. Like, she just looks great. Beautiful job and thank you for following my tutorial. Up next, we have a video by Mia Tyler and this is called DIY Curtain Bangs, followed Brad Mondo's tutorial and doesn't it seem like a great title?  I don't like that. I've actually been looking at my hair length and was thinking it's time for a trim. My gorgeous pal, Brad Mondo, made it seem so easy. So we're gonna be watching his tutorial today. I've watched other tutorials and I just feel like he was just straight to the point. Super easy, just follow these steps. Boom, you're done. That's really sweet. Cause behind the scenes, I sit there writing these steps for these tutorials for hours and then I practice it one time on a different mannequin to make sure I get it right and make sure everything is super easy to follow because sometimes like the way a hairdresser thinks is not the same way as a person who's not a hairdresser. So I try to make it as simplified as possible. So it really is so nice of you to say that. Thank you. What he did was wet the hair, bring it off forward and then separate it, but I already have a middle part.  We're gonna take the bangs back about two or three inches.   I am going to take these down to about the end of her eyebrow. I drew my eyebrows on.  But I'm gonna try to follow where my natural eyebrow ends. I'm really happy you guys are using my tutorial but adjusting it to fit what you want. I'm gonna definitely make sure I say that next time. Okay, now that Brad Mondo has this out here looking silly. He said my twist should give me like a little triangle. And then this other side, I don't know if it's as straight. It's a little bit different but it doesn't need to be perfect, you guys. Everything needs to be completely identical on both sides. Nobody's gonna notice. So this is a great start. If you wanna go shorter, you can't go longer, all right. So I'm gonna start with a little bit longer. He said he went up to her nose. I feel like that's a little too short for me.  I might have cut them a little bit short in that tutorial. Maybe just go a little bit longer, which I said that. So it's fine.  I think the under the nose would be a little bit too short for a lot of people. First snip, here we go. That's a good length.  Okay, we're at the more complex part. Here we go. Can she do it right? We're gonna take like this section and go diagonal. So go across, but make sure that it's like, our fingers are parallel with the part. So if that makes sense, like... So you're gonna get something like that, where it goes from short. Okay, I see the shorts along. One of the hairs is like too short. Don't cut that. Don't cut that. Is she gonna cut that? Give me a little bit more or else you're not gonna get that slope. If it's not over-directed enough. Cut those pieces. Say that. We're doing it. Okay, so this is how this side is looking. It's hard to tell. Oh. But there is a little bit of like a... That actually doesn't look bad.  I realized I went too far down.  Oh, okay, technique. She's using the comb. Instead of her fingers, that's totally fine to do. She's using the comb to keep the hair there and then cutting the extra pieces off. Yes girl, yes. She's getting in her groove and I like it. He said to basically just bring both sides forward or both like pieces of both sides forward. They look a little bit uneven. To make sure they're the same length. So I'm gonna do that. I think he mentioned to do that before, but I didn't think I needed to and now I'm realizing that I'm gonna need to. They're pretty even. I think the rest of the tutorial is him just like styling the hair. So that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go style my hair and be right back so you guys can see how it looks. Next time I'm gonna have to put a disclaimer in the beginning of the video to watch my entire video. You need to follow the whole thing. You need to do the thinning. You need to thin the bangs out or else they're gonna be way too heavy. She's not gonna do that as she. Ta-da. One, they weren't even at all. It was just so choppy. So I trimmed like one side a little bit more and realized that like when I put them back down, now this side was shorter than this side. So then I had to go on this side and trim. This is what I'm saying you guys. If you start trimming, you're gonna end up with one side short, the other side short, the other side short and you're gonna have to go back and forth until the bangs go up here. Don't look bad at all. Don't get me wrong, but they only look nice when my hair is styled, which isn't all the time. Oh, okay. First of all, they look amazing. Second of all, you definitely need to point cut and you need to thin them out. That is what's gonna make them sit nice when they're dry. You need to get rid of that bulk at the ends or else it's not gonna look good when your hair is just naturally sitting and naturally drying. You need to customize it. They're not as bad as I thought they were gonna be. I thought they were gonna be a lot worse. So pat myself on the back for that one. They look so good. Great job. Well, that was a lot more exciting than scary, honestly. That was super fun to watch. I'm glad you guys ended up with great looks and I'm glad I could help you out with that. You all look snickering.

Today's Instagram shout out goes to Saskia. And this says, Hi Brad, I really needed a new cut and color. Do you have any ideas? Greetings from Germany. We love Germany. So wow, your hair is incredible. That curl pattern, stunning. I really like what you've got going on. But honestly, if you were gonna do anything, I would just lighten it up a little bit, like put more highlights in there. It looks like your hair is just naturally highlighted. I think you need some like dimensional highlights going through there. It'll really bring out your curl pattern. It'll look phenomenal. And also just maybe layering it a little bit more and cutting off like an inch. I think that'll be perfect for you. That's all for today, guys. Thank you for watching.
