They Try Cap Highlights At Home - Hairdresser Hair Buddha Reacts To Hair Fail

Natalie Klein: Sometimes I wish I had as much faith in myself as these girls have in purple shampoo

Michaela: I just can’t help but laugh, especially when the person messing up their own hair are laughing their butt off!! It’s just a little fun in ones life. ❤️

Rochelle, Rochelle!: “If you want to brush your hair, don’t start at the top!” Truer words have never been spoken

Suzy Q: To all the people around the world brave enough to share their hair fails with us, and to Hair Buddha for his hilarious commentary... *Thank you for making me laugh! I needed it!*

Bijouxx: My mom used to do cap highlights to keep my hair bloneish when it started to turn brown & somehow she was soo good at it- I literally dont even understand how she never made a mistake but Im thankful lol

icecream_andcookies: To be fair it hurts like hell when someone doesn't know how to pick the hairs properly. You can insert the tool carefully and it doesn't hurt at all. I used to do cap hilights on myself often when I was in my early 20's and couldn't afford salons! I always got compliments and rarely had any errors. ESP when you part your hair and brush it properly before putting on the cap. Success is possible people just need to learn first lol

Ann Louise: My aunt taught at the local beauty school in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. In the mid 80’s she had my old elementary school math teacher as a new cosmetology student. She told me about it years later that my math teacher never completed the training. The reason: when practicing to do cap highlights, her client was BLEEDING because she had jabbed her scalp so hard. She was also, by the way, a really mean math teacher

Lee Nasca: I did my daughter hair. And I researched for 3 weeks every tip. Happy to say my daughters hair looks amazing

Stephanie Keith: My grandmother owned a salon for 45 years, my mom did hair at her salon for 25. I grew up in that salon that was attached to her home. My Aunt owned her own salon for 30 years and did Priscilla Presley’s hair. Myself , I work in healthcare not hair lol. However, I’ve done cap highlights for forever and I’ve never had an issue. People have always asked where do I get my hair done and I say, I do lol. However, I do agree you must know what your doing even with cap highlights.

Bayan Mat: Beginning of the video and I'm already laughing, "it will be a bad idea" love you Hair Buddha

Jocelyn gail: I’ve done cap highlights for years , my hair is naturally curly and a medium ash blonde , the cap gives a few strands brightness and it always turns out well . It doesn’t hurt if you know what you’re doing . your reactions

X razorstylist: All the years I've been a stylist I still love watching people do their hair and try to understand why they do what they do. Thanks For Sharing ❤

Trisha Yamada: Don’t use the cap for highlights if you have really short hair. You end up with spots. Not saying how I know this, but I know this.

Fantastic Toad: Way back in the early 2000's I did a cap on my good friend who had very long hair. It took about an hour or two to pull all the hair through. She had never had highlights before. It came out so amazing on her!

Consuelo Dinh: These vids always make me so happy that my friends and I never recorded all the crap we did to our hair over the years

NaNaMiTaKaHaShix3: I had cap highlights done about ten years ago. A friend of mine was an hairdesser apprentice at a salon. He did such a good job lighting up my box dye black hair (but he put a light brown color over the bleach) <3 But yeah, it was super hurtful. After a trip to bulgaria my whole head was a nice middle blonde. Overall one of my best hairdresse experiences :D

Marlena k8: I used one of these highlighting caps In order to put low lights in my hair and then finished up with a shadow root. It actually worked fantastic, but I also followed all the instructions from my hairdresser. These videos are so funny. I guess I'm lucky I never ended up in one myself. Lol

Hunnybeee: Caps should be banned.. It's insanity I love the fact as a sunkissed girl I HATED my freckles. Now people use leftover dye to try make some

Elizabeth Erne: This reminds me of the frosting kits that had the little comb apparatus. I thought I’d be all great. Until I got done and realized that all the bleach started off at the root and I didn’t get enough on the ends. So long story short, I appeared like somebody peed on my head. Immediately off to the store I went with a cap on to buy a brown dye to cover up that mess.

Cindy S: I've done this to myself, I'm a hairdresser. Don't pull the cap off until after you rinse the color/bleach out and put conditioner in, with large tooth comb, comb through the conditioner, rinse just enough to get the conditioner wet and then take the cap off it won't hurt and won't pull hair out.

Dragonfly Wings: Best laugh I've had in ages. Reminds me of the time at age 16 I decided to change from brunette. Box said honey blonde it turned out bright orange im 62 now and haven't coloured my hair in years....

Sparrow Cheeeeps!: Back in 1988, I actually used a box highlighting kit with a cap to highlight my sisters hair... and not blowing sunshine up my own a$$, the end result looked really really nice! However, this almost certainly had more to do with the fact her hair had been cut by a really talented stylist, and in a short style that was 'the look of the moment' back then. She also had the ideal natural hair colour for the kit, and basically has always had exceptionally good hair anyway! Truth be told, I had an ideal canvas on which to work, and no part of the successful outcome was due to any skill or talent on my part whatsoever ... And this is why I always go to the salon myself! At 50 years of age, I now require all kinds of alchemy to feel able to face the world in person... Such is life!

Jaded Monk: I learned more about dyeing hair in this short reaction video than EVERYTHING I've watched combined on this platform that was hair-related. Absolutely brilliant and the reactions are genuinely priceless. Couldn't help, but subscribe. Thanks so much❤

Car Jul: I can't decide which is the funniest, your reactions or their reactions.

Cindy S: Also hold the hook at an angle so you're going in sideways not straight toward the head. If done correctly it won't hurt.

Boss Queen: *I'm still teaching women to brush and comb from the bottom 20 years later...* My aunt used to comb my cousins 20 inch hair from the top, we were late for school regularly.

Nip Nip: I thought that cap was a medieval torture device ,I felt the pain just watching it ! Hair is part of your health , please do not waste it , treasure it .

Chelsea Miller: I gave myself cap highlights this week for the first time and they turned out so well. Also didn’t hurt one bit. You just had to be gentle and know what you’re doing. I did a root shadows and toned them and then added some foil highlights at my part to blend a bit. I’m loving them

Jocelyn: 1. I cannot believe the English channel has only been on for a year or so....I've watched ever episode 2. My husband and I have learned SO MUCH!!

T R O Y: I did this a few times when I was a teenager and it turned out really pretty. The process itself SUCKS. And it hurt lile hell the first time because I didn't know to rinse first lol Once I learned that, I was fine

Jone: Estos videos son lo más entretenido que he visto en mucho tiempo La cara de Hair Buddha ante tanto desastre es impagable.

Christy Firestone: It really helps to section your hair and brush from the bottom and work up to the top of your hair. I start following this advice about 6 months ago and I have less split ends and breakage. It all depends on following through and make it a daily routine and your hair will be so much healthier!

Caroline Grova: I'm flashing back to all the times I gave my long-haired sister cap highlights in the 80's. And her hair wasn't just long, it was thick. It took HOURS. On the plus side, speed isn't an issue when you use a cap like it is if you're bleaching and using foils. So the result might be iffy, but you're not going to burn anyone's hair off going this route.

Lee Moncure Smith Rodríguez: I love the first girl before she even begins. Buddha: “It will be a bad idea.”

Ditto Head: I did highlights on my childrens hair when they were younger and I pre stabbed the holes. It always looked cute. I cut the cap off so I didn’t hurt them lol. The highlights were always very subtle

Damein Noble: Cap highlights were all the rage in New Zealand in the early 2000s, to be fair it was easier on short hair and more even. I got pretty good at making it as painless as possible. Home cap highlights are horrendous. Pretty sure this girl is a kiwi.

Lacey Stanley: My opinion: I'm sure that caps are meant for people with short hair, my auntie always uses them and she has really short hair (like a pixie cut) never hurts her and comes out looking fabulous. She's mid 50's and she's had her hair in multiple colours. Edit: long hair should be done by foils. Another edit: thanks to hair budda for teaching me to brush hair by going up, not loosing as much hair now and my son likes when I brush his hair aswell

High Tide Soaps: I had cap highlights done twice on my curly hair when I was in high school, both times it came out great! Of course I had it done at a salon with my regular stylist, since I'm NOT a colourist, so that might have helped, LOL.

cloud campos: Currently in my twenties and recently turned blonde by having my hair done thanks to this technique. My mum did it for me. I also got the very unexpected help of MY VERY MANLY 10 year OLDER BROTHER who has nothing to do with hairdressing it was hillarious how seriously took the task and how amazing he did. Thanks bruh! ( I get compliments in the streets on my hair colour btw)

Caroline Grace: When I was in 7th grade my friends mom asked me to do cap highlights to her whole head. I'd never done anything to hair before beyond cutting my own without permission. They turned out stunning. I did ombre to my own head a few months later, and then bleached all the way from dark brown to blonde alone. I needed help with the toning because I didn't understand color theory and was from a pretty low income area; I had no idea about types of shampoos for colors etc. The blonde was even and I loved it. It was a brassy strawberry blonde that I was genuinely proud of prior to toning. My family laughed and said it was obvious it wasn't toned, so that's when I went to the salon for the toning help, but, I wish they hadn't; I enjoyed it a lot.

Spoopy doge: Had a stressful day and needed this!! Thank you hair Buddha

Debbie Harper: Omg love watching you daily, your comments and faces you pull make me laugh, always good advice Debbie x

Rynae Curry: My daughter started pulling my hair thru a cap when she was 10 y/o. It turned out great! Every year I used to go to medium auburn during the fall and winter. I used the cap to start taking it back to blonde late winter for spring and summer. My daughter never more than made me flinch is my point in this ramble love your channel. I've learned so much! <3

MerryMac: Quite entertaining, Hair Budda Let me share my cautionary tale of hair horror; In my early 20's, I was in a production of The Mikado. The Director had remarked "wouldn't it be great if everyone had black hair". I unfortunately took that suggestion to heart. My mid-shoulder length hair had already been highlighted and bleached blonde previously the prior year from my natural dark (strawberry) blonde, so I also had regrowth. I had a friend who used red henna all the time, so I thought it made sense to dye my hair black with black henna at home because hey, it would cost less, right? and henna is "healthy". (*Cue the dread inducing music ) Yup, my hair turned green, orange, purple and grey! It was a nightmare! I ended up having to go to a $$salon to try and fix my poor judgement. Because I had used henna, it was very difficult to correct the colour and then we dyed it a dark Auburn, which actually looked nice and was the darkest my hair has ever been. I didn't dye my hair again until ALL of that affected hair had grown out and been cut off. Lesson (mostly?) learned. Folks, be wiser than me and pay attention to Hair Budda's videos -- they will save you a world of grief!! This was an expen$ive lesson for me. P.S. now, 30 years later, I let my hair be what it will be. I have a small swath of white hair growing in over my right brow and I quite like it. I don't want to mess it up trying to dye my hair, and hey, I have *earned* every one of these platinum hairs!

JaLeesa: I've only colored my hair once in my 31 years of life and it was with one of these cap when I was 16. I must have been traumatized because never again.

Conny H: I messed up my color awefully during lookdown. Thank god for home Office I went straight to a hairdresser specialized in coloring turkish/arabic black hair to blonde. I was so thankful, I have a fantastic, natural looking blonde tone now. It's always worth the money you spend.

Emma Kay: “What’s that noise? It’s your hair screaming “. Bwahaha I love it!

Danielle Benitez: I asked for highlights when I was 17, picturing foil. I had never heard of cap highlights and started freaking out when I saw how much hair was being pulled through and bleached. I have naturally medium brown hair, but when I left, all my hair was orange and fried. I was so angry. I’ve burned all the photos from that dark period in my hair history. Lol

Marc B.: Had to watch this. My mom did this every 3 months nearly her entire adult life at home. With hair that was maybe 4 in long. Never really looked right kind of look like a skunk! It never hurt. Then again she didn't have two foot long hair to pull through the holes.

ox0cherrybomb0xo: I was forced to do a cap highlight on ONE customer ONCE when I worked at a corporate chop shop where we were not allowed to turn down a customer for any reason and that was the first and last time.

benji18111: Haha your reactions are hilairious. I love your laugh never a dull day watching these uploads with you Mr hair budda. Keep your great content coming.

Joy Lalime: I always cap highlight my hair, by myself too.. I've had professionals tell me my highlights are beautiful. Things I do, I coat my hair with cornstarch, it helps my long hair slide through.. my hair goes to the center of my back. Also please make sure you don't have split ends, if so cut them first. Do not use box die, go in the holes at an angle and slightly lift on the cap so you don't stab your head, make sure the whole strands are through (no loops) that's how you get spots.. when you have the color on, put it on top of your head and put a plastic bag over it. This helps develope it. When your ready to take the cap out, wash the strands with a Keratin shampoo first then take the cap off and wash your whole head. Then follow with a Keratin hair mask, it's pretty difficult to get right, BUT it's saved me thousands over the years..

Katarthere: Cap highlights were the rage when I was a teen. It doesn't matter how well you do them, you're going to have those weird little dots when you pull it back in a tail. Just an aside, I love the way Hair Buddha says Tik Tok.

Suzy Q: 5:47 This reminded me The 40 Year Old Virgin waxing scene and it had me cracking up laughing! "AHHHH! KELLY CLARKSON!!!"

BlueSkyes17: When I was young, my hairdresser preferred cap highlights. I know my scalp is tender, but I would always have tears tolling down my cheeks from the pain. I felt so stupid, but now I know it is just a painful process. I haven't gotten highlights in years, but she doesn't do caps any more anyway. Thank goodness!!

MissMargaret: I used to do cap highlights on my little sister when we were teenagers. Then I taught myself how to do foils on her. It’s actually easier to do foils I think.

Kimi G.: This is awesome "It will be a BAD idea". That looked painful and oh my goodness the results were so bad

Mandi: I'm so glad I watched these videos because I've been thinking about doing home highlights but you have saved my hair. Thank you!

Ria Rose: My mom has me do the cap highlights on her all the time. you gotta brush the hair out well before placing the cap on and if you want it to look nice and not chunky you need a tiny crochet hook and to take out extremely small sections. Also don't let your hair sit too long if you don't want extra noticeable highlights.

Kricket: I learned this the hard way. My hair is naturally wavy and locs like no one's business. Freshly brushed and there was so. Much. Pain. Every. Strand.

Jiyoung Kwon: The first girl...omg, I was laughing so freaking much. Been there done that. My sister stabbed me so many times with that hair hook from hell!

Louise Jennings: My mom used to do cap highlights when I was a kid. She used to call it frosting I think. I always think of it as an old lady thing, so seeing it come in as a social media trend is cracking me up.

Kris Doan: As a cosmetologist formally working at sally's I did my best to educate the customer on their color choices ...but alas they don't always listen. This is really very entertaining!!!

Les Foxley: I'm at hairstylist school right now and we had to do cap highlights a few weeks ago. Even with a teacher present (and on short hair, above shoulder) some of the students messed up one of the models looked like she had been sitting in the sun for way too long, the lighter halo effect wasn't a cute look. They could luckily fix it with a darker toner though haha

R H: Streaking / Cap Highlights is equivalent to giving birth to a few strands of hair through a small hole… Just don’t do it kids! Love You Hair Buddha. Thank You for another funny video

Lightgiver: Actually, years ago my sister and I used caps and had no problem streaking each other's hair. We didn't pull through as many as these women are. Mostly just the front area.

Jenny Novoa: When my hair gets wet it gets curly, sometimes it gets so tangled, it really makes a huge difference in how much hair I loose when detangling if I'm taking my time and being patient vs in a hurry x.x

Julee Jazz: Omg, I could relate so much when you mentioned the blonde hair absorbing the brown colour!!! I had my first time ever gray touch up at home during the lockdown and I had no idea the blonde highlights would absorb the colour while rinsing it out. When I looked at myself in the mirror I wanted to scream, I haven't had that brown colour 7 since I was 14! Yes, it fades when you wash them several times, but still...any recommendations on how to isolate blonde hair and avoid the darker colour bleeding into them? I read somewhere that vaseline is avoiding that blonde porous hair absorbe the colour while rinsing ot out, is that true? Other tricks?

Margie Jopson: I did cap highlights for years when I was young and I always rinsed and shampooed then conditioner and the cap came off easy. And thanks to our YouTube stylists I learned how to brush my long hair wet and dry.

lydwynnah: 06:48 'Of course, of course, yeah!! Do the regrowths first, do the lengths afterwards!!! Do the opposite of what I say!!! Oh why does Hair Buddha sound so much like my mom!!??

Nikki S: My mother did this to me as a child lol I blocked out most of the memory I got highlights so often as a kid that they started turning gray and little boys on the bus made fun of me and stopped and then had beautiful natural hair lol!

Aalihte: I absolutely love using caps however I have always had short hair I can't imagine trying it with long hair I once did my friend's hair and she had longer hair and it was such a pain in the butt but luckily it did turn out well cuz we only did the top of her hair and if any of the hair that I pulled out wasn't thin I went back in and corrected that so it just ended up adding Dimension to her red hair and we didn't leave the bleach on for long as we were just trying to get a little bit of dimension not really highlights

Katie Woo: I had cap highlights years ago because at the time everyone was getting those wide bleach highlights that looked like ribbons and ironing them flat. I was lucky mine turned out so well as I have curly hair and it helped them look more scattered, it didn't look like demon spaghetti

JasperCatProductions: Oh my word, the first person has gorgeous long hair! My hair is super short I can’t stand how hair feels so I try to grow it but I have to cut it. So I admire folks who have the patience to grow super long hair. I feel sad seeing gorgeous dark hair being tortured to just end up orangey or so ashy it’s unintentional green cast.

Lil Miss Riss: I always do highlights at home (with my daughters help) with box dye and always fully successful I don’t do this very regularly but my daughter always sigh when I say it’s “highlights time” Only failure was the very first time when I was a teenager. I am a natural strawberry blonde and I wanted like brown highlights. Would’ve been perfectly fine if I hadn’t pulled the cap off before rinsing out the dye, all my hair ended up a light brown colour with very faint highlights To be honest, it WAS lovely, just not quite what I wanted. I loved hearing you say to start at the bottom first when brushing long hairMy father always had long hair (his “angel hair” until he passed), as did I and when I was younger I used to just hack through my hair knots and he always cringed and repeated “start at the bottom”. OMG That girl trying to do her own lowlights All types of wrong

Janie Ness: You have wonderful explanations for the different processes. Seeing theses videos confirms why I always go to a professional such as you.

Diane Perez: These girls definitely need to watch your you tubes. She was a riot, to funny. Love watching you

Honor Lawson: I love your videos, never fail to make me laugh!

laureen jewett: Love the personalities of those who screw up and laugh at themselves

KD BEE: All of these videos make me appreciate my stylist even more!

martulaznik: I am glad that many years ago when I went from light blonde to light brown I accidentally picked up the right colour and the result was good. I didn't know anything about possibly green hair. :D

Sasha: I’ve done cap highlights at home many times and they worked great.

Kitty C: Also she should’ve sprayed some sort of leave in conditioner detangler I hate when people brush wet hair you’re supposed to comb it start at the bottom work your way up

Adniram: Thanks for the brown on blond tip. Makes sense to use a brown with more red pigments in the case of highlights. How about tips for some or all gray?

Mycrini: Poderia ter legendas em português

Debra Bing: I used to get this done professionally about 40 years ago when this was the only way. Even when it's done properly, it still hurts like ****.

Alisa Maria Angels And Demons: I used to get the cap ones done at the salon when I was a teen(I had ash blonde hair) and yes it HURTS LIKE HELL and take a long time almost hurt as much as box braids but deff go to a professional if you have never done your hair that way before for sure!

Teri Trujillo: My daughter helped me do this once and she said when I looked in the mirror afterwards that I made a face she'd never seen me do before. Lol it was a huge mistake.

Cute and Fluffy Pikachu: Trust me when I say this the highlighting caps from the 90s we’re SOOOOO painful especially with long hair it was my first experience using one on my self in the salon back in 1999 we even used baby powder to put them on because they were made of rubber I never used them again the ones we have now do not hurt as bad Also rinse the colour off then use conditioner on the hair to remove the cap

Jenni Kuikka: I remember my mom doing me high lights for summer with that cap when i was 9. It turned out very well, even our common hairdresser was surprised how well my mom did it. But now days i would really let professional do it. Style go to my old vocational collage and let student do it and get experience

Rachel Frumkin: In the early 2000's mother would cap highlight my hair like every 4/6 months. I hated it. I hated how much it hurt, I was always so sweaty I just hated the whole thing. But it always turned out. I did it like maybe 4 times before I was like let's just go to a salon. I will have to say my mother was the queen of fine sections. It also took for freaking ever. I can't believe they have made such a come back. I also washed my hair in the cap, maybe that was wrong but it made it easier to take the cap out.

Mrs F: I always do cap highlights, dosnt hurt if your hair is healthy and not too long and you brush it through really well. I always get compliments on mine

Gina Reynolds: I'm way older but this is how highlights was applied to my hair years ago in the salon. I loved it when they did Heavy highlights. It was beautiful and the stylists knew how to do color back then. Everything changed when they went to foiling. I like foiling too but something really happened to the coloring process about 10 years ago. That's all I have to say about that! ❤

Elusive Mayfly: I used to get cap highlights back in the day, and I had very long hair. My hairdresser was very gentle, but this video reminded me how the stabbing felt

fundaorluozcan: We are female hairdressers in Turkey with my husband. We are really having fun with your videos. This episode was our favourite.

Raquel r: Me encantas podrías poner subtitulos en Español por favor

Read with Chasity: My grandmother and aunt both were stylist in the 90s, this is the method they taught me with. I don’t have to go to a professional because it works, but yes please make sure you use bleach, then toner, then purple shampoo. Also keep it up every four weeks to make sure it blends. Some people can do it well, but others who have no clue how to do it make things so much worse lol

Wendy: I love this man hair Buddha you always make me laugh so hard

D Conway: Used caps for years(as well as foil and other methods), some people prefer it. Cap method does come out very natural looking because it is more random placement of color where other methods are intentionally placed. There are also different methods of cap hi-liting for certain effects. If you're trained properly you should never stab the scalp and should be hooking only the hair that is growing right below the hole. Thoroughly brushed, dry, even a little silicone or oiled hair helps. Always put shampoo or conditioner on the colored hair before trying to pull the cap off. Put a little on and distribute through to ends. Do not scrub or mash the hair around, it may tangle, then slowly pull off. For amateurs; ALWAYS READ THE DIRECTIONS! SUGGESTION: Get it done professionally. Color correction cost more, and the damage that is done to the hair is not worth taking the chance. Everyone's hair is different. There are so many factors that go into achieving the desired outcome, it's a science not just art. The companies that make professional color also make box color. They don't care if the amateur consumer knows what they're doing cuz the professional has to buy their products to correct the outcome of what they sold to the amateur. It's a win-win for them~

Jane Stephens: I can remember as a teenager using a cap to do highlights. My hair was mid length at the time. It did hurt, but the result was good.
