I PUT BOX DYE TO THE TEST (IS IT REALLY THAT BAD?)

Who's the shit? You the shit.

Do not use box black dye. Its terrible.

I always smile when you open lol

Lol why would I pay 50 dollars to get my hair done and listen to a hairdresser gossip about bullshit I don't care about and NEVER shut up when I can pay like 13 or 15 to do it on my own in my own house??? Been doing it for like seven years

Why is Brad pulling off Salman Khan hair?

Your hair bothers meeee! FLIP IT OVER!

Anyone from the UK, where in the Uk can we buy ‘professional hair colour’ like the ones brad tried in this video? I’ve used box day for the past few years & want to change but don’t know where I can buy it from?! Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question! If anyone from the UK can reply I’d be happy 😃 thanks x

Haha the price really does go up based on where you live because it costs me an average of about $300 for a color and cut in Alaska..

Im laughing at all the outrage, its not that deep lmfao. I'm SURE all of you were going to be swayed by his opinion of box dye regardless of what he says. hashtagging "uncoverbradslies" like common get your fucking panties outta your ass. Second hand embarrassment for all the offended, truly amazing.

dude, why would you switch the heads and lie just to make professional dye look better. cause it really looked like shit?

The reason you were so bad at the box dye is cause you’ve never used it!!! 😡😡

Before this video gets taken down, I got the screen caps.

I actually really like loreal feria dyes especially the purples and blues i think its a nice brand but i usually do get my hair dye from sallys because buy 2 get 1 free and the dyes are like $4 or $5 well thats just depending on the tubes you buy i buy the ion and it works really well.

Box dyes normally have three different predictor shades on the box. One for people with a blonde shade, one for brunettes, and one for people with darker shades of brown, not quite black. The color the box dye predicts will depend on how dark the hair is, which is something he ignores in this video, not to mention, most box dyes that I’ve used will also tell you that the color on the box is not guaranteed. If you don’t have the money to go to a colorist, boxed dyes aren’t bad, especially if you are going from a lighter hair color to a darker hair color.

I love your videos!!!

Legit have used that box dye before and I always loved it tbh. Of course I prefer salon colors, but this girl has to work on a budget haha

Just got further in the video and seeing the color on the mannequin I'm surprised that it isn't more shiny and bright. When I used the box dye my hair was super vibrant and shiny, granted that might be because of the difference between my natural color and the mannequin's color and I used this dye years ago as well so the formula may have changed since then.

You should do a video reviewing Arctic Fox hair dye!! & maybe Manic Panic.

I went into this totally expecting to be convinced to your opinion - but seriously, Brad?? I've used box dye many times in the past, and it is way fucking easier to use those bottles than you made it look. You were clearly trying to make it look harder. Why would you not section her hair? And yup, you clearly switched the heads. It was deeply obvious. Also, your saying "I was really rooting for the box dye" is clearly a lie. You tried your best to mess up the box dye, and when it looked better than the professional even AFTER that, you then pretended they were the other way round. WTF, dude?

I know that he’s gay; I KNOW...but he looks SO hot when he blow dries hair

I use Korean hair dyes since they are specifically for dark Asian hair so the dye color really shows for me. They're really easy to use; Korean dyes usually come in foam form so it really covers your whole head of hair without leaving any missed spots or patches.

Oh dear. Professional hair stylist, but can't tell the difference between the shades?! Lol.
You switched the heads and praised the box dye to the heavens. 😂 How embarrassing. It was so obvious to *everyone!!*
Good to know the box dye came out on top. I always do my own hair 👍👱‍♀️

Your awsome i love you ...stay gorgeous ... i love your videos

he really just switched the heads lmao i can't

I love how people complain and say box hair dye is cheaper, bitch have you gone to sallys and bought hair dye?? Ion hair dye is legit 5 bucks! a box is usually 10-15 dollars! cheap my ass

I actually came across this video after BOX DYEING my hair black, because it looked like Shrek threw up all over my head, and it turned out way better. And no I've had my hair dyed MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY TIMES BEFORE so trust me when I say I KNOW SOME SHIT, and it is soooooooooooooooo much cheaper to dye it with box dye and my hair looks great. But just saying I'm not trying to throw shade on Brad, I just wanted to put that out there for all my fellow broke girls. (And yes he's right you don't know what's in box dye but my mom's been doing it for years and her hair is perfectly fine so that kind of proves my point. But like I said I don't mean to be rude to him I love him very much keep up your great work queen.)

Lol i paid $100 for a cut and dye a few months ago. The color was meant to be a dark fuchsia/burgundy-ish color... My hair ended up Bright Hot Pink for multiple weeks after lmao,,, RIP

when he did the box dye he looked like it was hard to put on like he was being messy with it on purpose .. and then switched the heads ? ok 🤨

Sooooo.... 20 minutes of him bashing box dye.... then preferring it over the “professional” hair dye... alright

lmao he stupidly slaps that box dye on the mannequin's head and still has to switch the heads around bc the box dye looks better

I would use box die all the time it messed up my hair am with Brad on this

Damon Salvatore is on to bigger and better things

I have a question. So, I dye my own hair at home with professional color. Well, I dyed my hair red and did a shadow root, which turned out awesome, but decided I wanted to go back to an all over red color because it started looking like my hair was just way grown out and I hadn't dyed it in a while. Not very pretty. I went for my usual color, but now I have a huge band of black in my hair from the shadow root. So, my roots are red, then black band, then back to red. It looks aweful. How do I fix this?

I always do my own color. To be fair, I don't do it often so my hair has time to breathe. But I almost always just grab the cheapest box and head home to have some fun. Just a few weeks ago I picked up some black dye for maybe $4.50 after tax. My hair has never felt better and it looks pretty shiny. I've used that exact box dye before, and it looked exactly like the 'professional' head. Brad, Im so dissapointed. I used to love your content, but after this.... It's so obvious they were switched, there's a ton of misinformation here, and you didn't even follow the instructions in the box, did you?

Boy what's is with that 90s middle part omg stop

FAKE i used box dye my whole life and all of the capabilities were awesome

My youngest sister is literally arguing with me that these weren't switched when it's so obvious they were I-

I'm a licensed beautician and I've use box color on my hair a lot when I couldn't afford to go to Sally's and buy it. But I've never had trouble using it and it's always turned out very nice. Yeah I have to agree with all the comments. He mixed them up.

I only dye my hair once or twice a year and use the box brand used in the video and my hair ALWAYS comes out looking super shiny and exactly how it's supposed to based on the picture on the box. It's like you said, results can vary based on hair type. The brand in the video is also cheaper where I live if I get it at Walmart.

Every time I see you use that Dyson Dryer I get so dang jealous. I wish I had one. Also I love your blowout technique

He obviously switch the heads because the professional head look terrible . Not saying getting your hair professional done is awful and you shouldn’t but hair box dye isn’t bad , I definitely recommend them getting it at Sally’s .

The box color is the color my mom uses it

Switched that shit. Shame on you. You're also so cocky it's gross.

What you didnt do was follow the actual directions on the box dye. You didn't wash the hair with the shampoo provided which would have given it that shine you wanted...

Subtitles in spanish pls !! :( i love u

Ok so I'm like 13 and I dyed my friends hair and we RUINED here bathroom!

I literally love your look in this video! You look like a 90’s cartoon character and I’m here for every ounce of it lol it’s a look.

one thing about box dye i dont like is if you leave it in the bottle mixed and closed and left in your bathroom over night; you will have a bomb. Why I say this is cause my mother (I love her to death) always used boxed dye and one night after she was done with her hair she left the bottle closed; the next morning after my parents went on a trip she never opened and tossed the bottle away I woke up to an explosion from the bathroom. scared the shit out of me and i run to see what happened and you think it was a murder scene but there was red dye all over the place I called my mother while they were away and tell her what happened lets just say I was the mom in this situation and she the child, but i did clean it up thankfully the cleaner (i forgot what i had used) was able to take it off the walls mirror and lights .NOT FUN AT ALL. Looking back on it it was funny but not fun to clean up.

Okay, since you don't know how box dye works, let me explain the differences as both a box dye user and someone who taught themselves how to use professional dye.
1) Box dyes must be put on unwashed hair. Your last shampoo should be no closer than 48hrs previous for best results. Mannequins don't produce sebum to facilitate this reaction. Already not accurate to a real person's experience
2) You are not meant to use just the bottle nozzle to apply the color. You apply small amounts at a time, working it into the hair with your fingers. You can also use a brush if you have one, but you can get perfectly acceptable saturation with just the bottle and your fingers.
3) The reason you had enough of the box dye is because your mannequins had the same length and thickness of hair they design their dye for. Any longer or thicker and you would've needed 2 boxes
4) Only very pale blondes can get away with 25 minute color times. Most people will go the full 60 minutes max safe time listed in the directions. This is bound to affect the outcome. You should've done at least 45 minutes to be even with the pro head
5) If your box dye comes with conditioner(sometimes shampoo, as yours did) you are supposed to use those after you rinse the color. Most box dye comes with an after-color conditioner. This very likely affected the luster and shine of the box dye.
6) As far as price goes, you didn't even choose a cheap box dye. When I kept my hair black, I used Revlon Colorsilk which used to be $2 a box(it is now between 3-4 I believe). You can get hair dye at the dollar store. So your point about price is not 100% accurate either.

box dye is easier for the average person to apply because of how you don't need an application brush or scale or any other professional tools, and can still get a fairly even coverage just by slopping it on like shampoo. Most people probably take precautions to avoid making a mess, like towels everywhere, or just applying right inside the shower. AND they are designed to finish setting in a relatively short period of time, so you should be done in essentially about a half hour and get on with your day. BUT yes they are harder on the hair and don't have variables of intensity to suit different hair types etc... and all the other unpredictability things hairdressers tend to complain about too. :)

really out here switching heads huh 😔😔😔😔 shameful 😔😔😔

idk why but in this vid you remnd me of a gay version of damon from TVD

You can tell its switched because he stained the box dyes neck and when he blow dries the heads the supposed professional color has a stain in the same spot that wasnt there when he dyed it. And the supposed box dye no longer had a stain.

Your bias is really showing. If you’re so disgusted and put off by box dye, you shouldn’t have made the video. Stick to reacting to videos or something.

At 1:56 Brad looks like he was a Disney channel actor drawing the Mickey Mouse head thing 😂😂

I've dyed my hair with box dyes for years and I've never had any trouble with them. I currently have red and blue hair. If you're interested in seeing that look on my Instagram @flexible_pizza

I've never used box dye but if it's meant to be applied how Brad describes it.... like shampoo, it sounds a lot easier than professional hair dye.

i have used both brands and i have to disagree with some of those scores. the box dye i get same brand actually same color was bout 8 dollars here on east coast at walmart. the salon is bout 4 plus developer which is bout 6-8 depending on brand. however i need 2 because i have long hair so it does tend to cost more. that box color is much more red than purple and thats why i had to change shades. i did not find really any red violet bout it just a deep dark red. i switched to deepest violet for that reason. the box colors are truly runny. i put down plastic on my floor for it. it can be a huge problem. the mannequins that got used if you look at the stains of their face got switched around. the box dye i like cuz of price but also it does not fry my hair. ive been using box dye since 15. i've used and own developers n salon dye but it dries the ends of my hair drastically. i dye my hair quite often and never keep the same shade. i see people now a days doing beautiful ombre effects and all and yet their hair looks silky smooth. not at all damaged. what am i doing wrong? why cant i seem to use salon dye without over drying my natural hair. someone please help???

I have ALOT of problems with this video. One problems is that you didn't keep them side by side when comparing... why? To compare something you need to show both products next to each other. It is much easier for the brain to remember and compare seeing them at the same time... Another problem is that I really think the two mannequin heads were switched due to the dye on the forehead, etc. I don't think you did it on purpose like most people are saying but i really think you had them backwards. Next problem is that the boxed hair dye, not the "professional" one, was way nicer and more cost effective, less time to apply if doing by yourself on your own head and less time in your hair. Overall, the better product. I have been using boxed hair dyes and boxed hair bleach for 40 years. I have NEVER had a problem doing this by myself. Saves me time, money and going to a hair salon. I have received loads of compliments through the years on my hair. I get an ash type blonde for my hair. My natural hair color is light brown. Everybody is different hair and different preferences. I, personally, will always choose hair dye over professional or salon dye. I even had a salon bleach my hair but since she was multitasking, she left it in too long and my hair was grey at 24 years old. She wanted $60 for that. I told everyone i knew where i got my disgusting hair from and at that moment decided to never go back to a salon. I used to go a couple times a year just to give me a break from doing it and to see the difference. Not worth it in the end unless you literally don't want to do it yourself... Good try on the video but you got to make it and edit it totally different for comparison. Just my opinion.. Have a wonderful day xo

Have you tried the Mr. Clean Eraser? Those work like magic on Many tough spots & stains without damaging anything.

u mixed up the heads

I want to stop dying all together and let my gray hair shine. I’m tired of the cost and the time and I’m ready to embrace my gray. Any suggestions for the best way to go from jet black to au natural? I’ve been just growing it out but it’s at that weird point. HELLLLLP! Lol

Guys come to the uk box dyes are usually range between 7-9 pounds (dollars) and the exact box dye he used is only 8 dollars and they are usually pretty good 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 brad I LOVE YOU!!!! 😍😍😍

I need some help I dye my hair a lot I've been blonde pastel pink pastel purple dark purple and blue but each time I dye my hair the colour doesn't ever seem to last even though it says permanent any help please and thank you

By the way brads hair can we talk about it the cut he copied Aaron carter at 9 years old lol

I still have a box of unused Wella in that shade!

I live in Norway... going to a salon to dye your hair costs a loot more than only 40$. You can BARELY get a haircut for 40$... and coloring the hair is much more expensive. So yeah, when/if I'm coloring my hair I'd choose the box because its much cheaper and I can do it at home with the stress of needing an appointment etc

You were one of my biggest inspirations to go into cosmetology:) I’m a junior in high school and I’m about 6 months into the 2 year cosmetology program. I’m going to go to state board in 14 months wish me luck!! ❤️

I hate ppl who talk shit about box dye everything is in a damn box no colour is considered professional chemistry does not change I always use box dye im not forking up 400 to 500 dollar for a rude employee to kill my hair

But for someone who doesn't have much money, a 5$ difference can be a lot 😅😅

Holy shit, the box dye is the same dye that I used!!!

1) schools dont teach how to use sqeeze bottles anymore. 2) the ingredients in box dye are horrible for you and your hair. 3)Bix dye adds junk to make your hair appear shiny but it doesnt last. 4)Like Brad, I was raised in a salon and a person does become "spoiled".

OH MY GOD YOU LOOK LIKE PHILLIP FROM SALLY FACE!!!!!!!!!1 YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can die happy now

I was shocked by the switch comments so rechecked the video and they are switched. The professional one at the end has the dye marks on the top of the forehead and the neck that he made when putting the box dye on

Dude i really love you with all my fricking heart but this video its just a NO i get it you are pro who wants more people to actually go to professional but geez

also, that box dye has a very runny formula which does suck. i personally prefer garnier, the formula is a bit thicker and they have a wider red color selection (which is what i dye my hair)
(edit) the loreal box dye he used is SUPER shiny. it always gives such a good finish.

bro the heads are switched lmao

Definitely switched them

box die has almost always worked better

wait what im a little confused if this is the brad dont think it is but if it is i really dont like the new look or additude

I was for real hoping the comments weren’t real but 😒

Maybe he did not do it on purpose but is it just me or it looks like he switched the mannequin for the reveal?? The box dye manequin had wider looking eyes than the other and when he bring them back, he shows the one with the wider eyes as the professional...
Edit: it's not just me lol just saw a bunch of comments about it

The way he handling the hair while coloring them is far from professional. Any one can name him self a professional nowadays

I like your nails

Y'all getting mad about him switching the heads, BUT HE ACTUALLY SAID 13 AND 19 IS A 5 DOLLAR DIFFERENCE ?!HELLO?!

someone please get him off youtube

I unsubscribed after this.

I use box dyes because I'm just not interested in learning how to use professional dye, and I know witch dyes work for my hair and I use some tricks that makes it better. Ammonia smells horrible and is very harsh, so I use dye with hydroperoxide and zero ammonia. I always blend the ingredients together in a separate bowl so that it's even, because shaking it in that bottle isn't good enough. I also use a brush to apply it, because just squeezing it out like that increases the risk for it being uneven. A professional would probably think the result is horrible, but I like it well enough.

I have been using box hair dye for 20 years. Blue black or red. I have never had a issue. I got my hair professionally dyed once and I had black with red highlights and the red faded in 2 washes and the blue black washed out to a funky brown black.

If you predicted it to be unpredictable then surely, it was very predictable

He switched the heads. When he pulls them out to blow dry the one he says is the professional clearly you can see where the scalp line is that it's bright red like the colour of the dye from the box.

I used that exact boxed hair dye in 2015. 😨

Bro I dyed my hair with box dye for AGES before switching to using dye from Sally's. I never had any problems except running out because I have longer hair. My sister dyed it for me, she has NO training or experience and it came out perfect. Color was spot on to what I wanted. I went from dark cinnamon hair to bright auburn hair in 1 application. you have an obvious bias against box dye, and WE CAN ALL TELL YOU SWITCHED THE HEADS. Also, for those who want to know, I switched to using dye from Sally's because they had a brighter auburn that was much closer to the color I want. Otherwise I would have probably stuck to using the box dye.

My gay ass twin is quaking when he find out Im watching you Brad
He literally tryna fit into my bed and watch you with me 😂

Of course he switched the mannequin heads. No one would watch his videos anymore, if they knew that the box dye isn’t the problem, but the person applying it. I’ve been using box dyes for 10 yrs until I stopped dying my hair all together. They were cheap and worked pretty damn well. As a woman with thick and long hair I wasn’t able to stroll into the hairdressers and pay three times as much as someone with thinner/shorter hair. It’s ignorant of Brad to assume that box dyes are bad. They’re a cheap alternative to getting your hair done at the hairdressers. If you can’t reach all spots on your head ask a friend or family member to help. And don’t try to bleach certain types of hair. If you read up on hair and colours etc you won’t need a hairdresser. Fact. The examples he shows on his channel (clearly) didn’t know what they were doing.

i love the fact that he calls the doll head thingys clients

You out rightly came to diss box dye....your comparison is very bias......

40 dollars? in Norway it costs at least 200 to go to the salon

I used that exact box hair dye and I LOVED the result.

I have been using box dyes for YEARS and have always used Revlon's Colorsilk. It's also ammonia free. It's $3 a box and works GREAT on my hair. I have to get 2 boxes because my hair is so long. I love it though. I've tried other brands and they do not do well on my hair. I love your personality so much! Thanks for the video.

I use Schwarzkopf and my hair looks great! There wasn't a huge oder. There wasn't a mess I used this thing called a towel. It comes with a leave in conditioner I use the days following. You were biased from the beginning and acted like you were lost which is super dramatic 🙄
