Hi beautiful. Today we get to see some tantalizing, sexy, fierce fantasy hair color be done
0:06
And I'm just so hyped about it because I love colorful hair
0:09
I love when it's bright. I love when it's bold. I love when it's in your face
0:14
But today's video is especially exciting because as you may know, the X-Mondo Color Awards, first ever X-Mondo Color Awards, is currently going on
0:23
And our goal at X-Mondo is to find the best colorist in the United States
0:28
and award them with $10,000 and a year supply of X-Mondo Color
0:33
There was so, so many people who submitted and you were all just so incredibly talented
0:38
And thank you to everybody who submitted. But we now have our top five contestants who are going head-to-head with each other
0:46
And you are going to be the one who has to vote to crown one of these people
0:52
the winner of the first ever X-Mondo Color Awards. You guys get to choose, not me
0:57
I don't want that pressure. Ah! So we challenged each five of these people to create their most incredible masterpiece
1:05
using our color range. And you're about to see those top five contestants
1:10
And then after, you're gonna head to the link right down below, cast your vote
1:13
and we'll all find out who the winner is very soon. I also have not seen these videos yet
1:18
So we're gonna both watch it together and see what the vibes are
1:22
I'm so excited because I know all these people are so crazy talented
1:26
Let's do it. Okay, our first finalist, his name is Andy Judd
1:30
And oh my God, this man is so incredibly talented. Andy is in the Nashville area
1:36
So if you're around there, please go check him out. Andy's work is just magical, incredible
1:42
Oh my God, over the top, like sexy. I need my hair cut by you, Andy, please
1:47
Some of these color looks, I can't even fathom how he got here
1:50
Like I am blown away by the talent. A lot of his looks have pops of color, but not every single thing is colorful and bright
1:58
He mixes like natural tones with super bright pigmented yellows and oranges and purples and pinks
2:05
And I love the way he compliments the natural color with those super bright bold colors as well
2:11
I love the way he does so much color blocking. Everything he does is just insanely cool, like the cool girl
2:18
If I saw her walking on the street, I'd be like, whoa, sorry, I can't sit with you. You are too cool for me
2:23
I'm so grateful you're participating in this. Let's see what Andy concocted for the Ex Mondo Color Awards 2022
2:31
Howdy, my name is Andy and this is my iconic model, Kendall. And today we're going to be creating some hair magic with the Ex Mondo Color
2:37
Kendall and I have a great collaborative working relationship and I asked her to pick the colors that she really wanted on her head
2:42
and then she gave me free reign to play. Oh, first of all, this video is already magical
2:47
This vibe going on, incredible. I am literally obsessed with the colors already
2:52
You're using turquoise, you're using yellow. It's going to look so good
2:56
Together, we landed on the idea of highlighting three colors, the lime green, turquoise, and super pink
3:01
while also utilizing super blue, slate gray, and berry to create custom mixes to add a bit more depth for the back of the head
3:06
Oh my God, we are going in with literally every color possible
3:12
I ultimately decided on using variations of slicing and foilage to create what I like to call a fluid block color
3:18
intentionally leaving blonde negative space to make the colors really pop. Okay, I love the fact that he like has that negative space going on
3:27
I, for some reason, I thought everybody was going to do like just every single piece of hair color
3:31
which is also really cool, but he left that blonde hair in between
3:35
and he utilized super gloss to make everything really glossy and shiny
3:38
but didn't cover every single hair with color. I don't see a lot of people doing this and it's interesting
3:43
I'm always searching for the balance between boldness and softness and I find that this type of fluid block coloring really allows me to create my own perspective
3:51
that I like to define as romantic meets quirk meets queer meets punk
3:54
And okay, here's the result. It's giving. It's like if Rainbow Brite and Strawberry Shortcake were in a band like The Runways
4:00
but also in the Brady Bunch at the same time. Okay, I'm just a little excited. I mean, isn't Kendall just too cute
4:05
All right. Thanks for watching. I hope you have a good day. Bye. Andy, what? How did you even do that
4:10
That is literally the most sickening look ever. Oh my God. Andy, you outdid yourself
4:16
The haircut, the model, the look, like everything is just magic. I cannot even believe you pulled this all together
4:24
The color scheme is magical. I'm seeing that super yellow, the turquoise, some custom mixed color
4:31
the blonde peeking through, the foil pattern you did. I'm just obsessed. Like I need, I need your pattern
4:35
Can you send that to me? Like the way that you execute this look. I mean, the talent. I think we all can see it
4:42
The talent. You're the first one I've watched and so far I'm shook
4:46
And the rest of the contestants are going to have a, have some pretty tough competition already
4:52
But let's check out the other people. Our next finalist, her name is Walter
4:56
Walter does the most incredible fantasy hair colors ever. I mean, these looks are just magical. Like what
5:04
Dude, how do you even do this? She is so remarkably talented
5:08
She's in the Minneapolis area. So if you are around there, please go check her out
5:13
Her looks are so original. She's literally an artist. Like she can paint on the hair and create these incredible looks
5:22
Walter also does these like badass extreme looks that I just want on my damn head
5:28
Like this blue pair with the black. God, it's sexy. This majestic mix of tones that she has here
5:36
I am obsessed. When I saw her work for the first time, I'm like, yo, you are majorly talented
5:41
Absolutely. We are making you a finalist for sure. I have never seen some of this stuff before
5:46
and I'm so excited to have Walter in this competition. With that all said, let's check out Walter's final submission
5:53
Hi everyone. For the 2022 Ex Bondo Color Awards, I transformed this ratty wig into a fiery moment
6:02
In the color blocks, I used the shades super pink, super yellow, super red, berry, super orange
6:08
And for the color melt, I used red. I love that she just went for it and like did so many colors
6:14
Everybody's doing pinks, purples, blues, great colors. But the oranges, the yellows, lime greens, those are the ones that steal my heart
6:22
Slate gray and super gloss. And I also did a custom mix of slate gray and super gloss to make a lighter silver
6:29
And I'm about to show you how I got two very different colors to seamlessly blend
6:34
We start with slate gray at the root, blend it into my custom silver
6:38
Then I apply super gloss to act as a buffer. So the red can be blended up without making a muddied or unwanted tone
6:46
Okay, that is so smart. The way you just pull that out. I love learning from you guys
6:50
I will never know everything and I just want to keep on learning. And this stuff is so inspiring to watch
6:56
I've never thought about using super gloss as a buffer. That is such a cool way of using it so that the colors don't make an ugly nasty color in between
7:04
So smart. And here's how it all turned out. ���
7:17
I hope you love this look as much as I do. Oh my god
7:22
Okay, so she mixed the cool and the warm together. It's getting like fall sunset
7:28
Is that just me? Probably. I love the way she combined that slate gray with these reds and these really bright oranges
7:35
Those little pieces of yellow is what really gets me. Like the little strands of yellow going through
7:40
Oh, the haircut is also great. The baby bang with the cut
7:44
With the little peekaboo pieces of red in between those gray strands
7:49
You did an incredible job and thank you for your submission and good luck
7:54
Our next top five finalists name is Maddie Marissa. Maddie is in the Orlando area
8:01
So if you guys would like to check her out and you're in the Orlando area, you can totally do so
8:05
Her work is so magical just like everybody else. But um, oh my god
8:10
I love hair color. Nothing excites me more. Okay, this is the coolest thing ever. When I saw this, I was like, God, you got like the work of art
8:17
The peach with the lime green, with the turquoise, with the purple overlaid on top of this pink
8:24
And the styling got me. This was also one of my favorites. Oh my god
8:27
Like, let me just go through this. Like, wow. These are obviously a custom mix colors and she literally slayed this hair
8:35
The haircut is so f***ing cool. The mint greens with the green, with the yellow, with the blue
8:41
She has the most cool punk rock feel, but like, it's so artsy
8:46
She really pushes the boundaries of her work. I'm just so blown away with all of her stuff
8:51
This is definitely one of my favorite. Like, bringing like the emo punk vibes in with like, just trending colors
8:58
I love the work that she does on this curly hair as well
9:01
Just so cool. So Maddie, I cannot wait to see your submission now and see what you've created
9:07
Hey pals. I'm so excited to show you the look I created for the 2022 X Mando Color Awards
9:13
Making it to the top five was wild and I wanted to show you how I created my final submission
9:17
The colors I used were coral, super pink, super red, super yellow, and turquoise
9:23
The colors going on just gave me such a high. Like, they're so bright
9:27
It's like, oh God, she's going to get so much pigment and brightness and impact on this look
9:33
And I'm already loving the combination. This turquoise with the reds. Like, I love the cool and the warm together
9:38
It's just beautiful. Picked colors that were bold and bright, but still pleasing to the eye
9:42
One of my favorite things about X Mando Color is that they don't bleed into each other when rinsing them out
9:47
This is something that is super important to me, being a vivid specialist. There is nothing worse than muddy colors
9:53
See how my colors stayed super bright? And I love the way that the hair feels after rinsing the color out
9:57
I cut parallel to the color to show the levels of color that I placed, creating an edgy and kawaii vibe
10:03
Not only does the color get you excited, but these cuts everybody's doing, like, you guys are well-rounded
10:07
Colorist, stylist, everything. You're just really good. It's fun and I'm super happy with how it turned out
10:13
I really love playing with texture when it comes to styling. So adding elements like a rounded bang or braids is fun and creates a lot of depth with my look
10:21
If you like my final look, please vote for me. There's a link in my bio for the 2022 X Mando Color Awards
10:26
I appreciate you all for looking into the X Mando team for this opportunity
10:31
The way you combine the braids, the whole look just came completely together and I am shook
10:37
I'm obsessed with the combinations of yellow and the pink and the blue and the way it's, like, peeking out underneath
10:43
When you added the haircut at the end, everything just came together and came to life and I am just blown away
10:49
Like, the turquoise is my favorite part of this look. The way it's under the hair, but it is so impactful and strong and bold
10:56
I don't know. I just think it really pulls everything together and makes it just different and unusual
11:01
This is amazing. I love it. I love it. I love it. And wow, I don't know how anybody's gonna pick their favorite out of this because all these hairstyles are majorly talented
11:10
Up next, we have Reina Damas. She works in the Pasadena area
11:16
And so if you're around the area, please go check her out. Super talented, amazing stylist
11:19
There's just so many things on her Instagram. I want you to paint my head, please
11:23
This one had me going. The way that she cut into the hair, even, like, the stripes on the side have this amazing attention to detail with the color
11:33
And then underneath with the tattoos makes it even better. This is one of my favorite looks I saw on her Instagram and I was just blown away and she needed to be a top five finalist
11:41
Some of these pieces are so simple, but just, like, remarkably beautiful
11:46
This star look, how do you do that? Like, what? And then she did, like, a Playboy bunny look
11:52
This swirl with the haircut. Then with the color, everything is just perfect
11:56
This one, this checkered pattern with the green on the top, the black ends
12:00
This person is rocking it. I love how different and extreme her colors are
12:05
And everything she does is just so different. Let's see what her submission looks like
12:13
Hello? Hey. Oh my god, guess what? I need a model. Are you available
12:20
Oh my god, here it is. Yay! Okay, we got roots, we got bands, we got residual color
12:29
Wait, I'm obsessed with that intro. Go off. Meet Savannah. We came together with an exclusive look that intertwines both of our styles
12:37
Harajuku meeting Hello Kitty. Harajuku meets Hello Kitty? Ugh! Yes! We have all the bright colors to choose from from X Fondo Color Line
12:46
Now I'm mixing the turquoise with a little bit of super blue. And then now I'm going to be mixing the pink with a little secret moment of a super purple
12:54
to remove that yellow and create a bright pink. God, every time I see that yellow go on, I'm like
13:00
ooh, I want to eat it. Oh, I love that she did so much yellow in this hair
13:04
I love that pretty much everybody has utilized super yellow. It's time to correct that band that was left over
13:09
I'm going to apply the blue first on the base and the upward stroke
13:12
And then I'm going to lay the pink directly over to create a purple. This is going to allow the band to fade out with a beautiful fade out
13:18
and not give it that ugly greenish yellow look. That is so smart
13:23
I love the way she's explaining to us exactly how she did it. And you can tell she has a lot of experience
13:28
Here we're using the bubble technique. Shout out to Hair by Kiss You and Bottle Blonde
13:31
Look at this beautiful wash. Zero bleeding. Love that. Time to style. Yay
13:36
I'm super excited to style this. Look at how cute it came out. We're so excited
13:40
Thank you so much for watching. Love you guys. Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha
13:55
The way that the yellow is just there. It is like covering so much of her hair
13:59
Like, I love this custom color she mixed up together. And with it next to that yellow, game over
14:05
I love the way that she implemented the bubble technique, which is basically just painting the colors right on top of each other
14:11
And because x-modo color does not bleed at all, like you can literally put a yellow on top of a pink and you'll still get pure yellow
14:18
I'm just so excited about this look. And the styling is so f*****g cool
14:22
The way you did the pigtails and the bangs and the structural pieces
14:27
I love how everybody has had a very similar style to them
14:30
Like, it's all very punky. Yeah, it's sort of a Harajuku like look and it's such a fantasy
14:36
It's such a vibe. I love it. Great, great, great job, Reina. I'm so excited you're a part of this competition
14:41
And our last top five finalists. Her name is Maylin. Maylin works in the White Plains area
14:47
So if you're in that area, go check... My eye just like stopped working for a second
14:52
If you're in that area, go check her out. Um, she does these extremely bold all over colors and the fantasy is there
15:00
Like, are you kidding? The amount of just sexiness in this photograph
15:05
Ooh, the placement of these colors, the blend is just extraordinary. And I love the way she is not scared to go bold as f**k
15:13
This one is incredible. This is a favorite of mine. These bold greens and these bold blues all together
15:18
Roots to ends. Incredible. But the transformation she does is what really gets me
15:23
This baby pink with the black on the top. Everything is just so artistic and gorgeous
15:29
This with the negative space between this green, this yellow, this blue, this purple
15:35
These tones are magic. Oh, and the way it moves. I love, love, love, love, love it
15:41
Let's check out her submission. Hey guys, follow along with me while I go through my final look for the 2022 X Mondo Color Award
15:47
My canvas today is my first client for my original submission. This was her 12-week fade out
15:52
I went in and lifted the new growth along with removing any remaining color that was still there
15:56
There was still some remnants left, but decided to work with it then work against it
16:00
I ended up using all 12 shades from X Mondo Color. You used all 12 shades
16:06
Oh my God. I decided to create two custom colors. The first being a mix of super green and lime green
16:11
And then another ball being a mix of super blue, super purple, and turquoise
16:16
I parted her hair in diagonal back sections and alterated my colors
16:19
Oh my God, the amount of colors that were just laid out there. Insane. With each section using foils to separate them
16:25
I placed the colors that I saw fit to whatever remaining color that was still there. I made sure to thoroughly saturate each section and used my fingers to blend each color into another
16:34
I love that she's working with the palette that she's given. Her client doesn't have perfectly white blonde hair
16:40
There's still some remnants of color left over and she's working with it. And I love that
16:44
Like working with what you got is what makes a hairstylist really great versus somebody who's not as good
16:49
Like you gotta know how to work with what you got and make the best of it
16:53
And that's what she's doing. At one point, we actually ended up watching Brad's videos during her service
16:57
Which kind of prolonged it, but it was well worth all the laughs. Once she processed for 20 minutes, I rinsed her out with high-pressure cold water
17:05
This is how it looked when wet before blow-drying and setting her curls
17:09
We wanted a softer look so I went and brushed them out. And this is the final look right here
17:15
Being selected as a finalist is an incredible honor. I had so much fun creating this look and experimenting with X-Mondo colors
17:21
Vote for me to win the 2022 X-Mondo Color Awards with links in my bio
17:25
My jaw like actually hurts from being so in awe of everything. But this was..
17:31
Wow. Her hair looks so f***ing glossy and shiny. I can't believe you got every single color on that hair and made it look that good altogether
17:41
Like, I always felt like not every single color is meant to go together. But you just proved me wrong because it clearly does
17:47
It seemed like you didn't go into it knowing where you wanted to place everything
17:51
But you knew in your head like, okay, if I place this here, that's gonna complement that section that I just did
17:56
If I do this here, that's gonna complement this section. And everything just came together to be this incredible, beautiful rainbow look
18:04
This look encompasses every single color we've ever created. And you made it work
18:09
Damn, girl. My eye is so drawn to the bottom of this hair, too. I love that green
18:14
And then the crown has a little bit of that lime green poking out, too. Super, super cool detail
18:19
Obsessed, obsessed, obsessed. And the styling was remarkable. It was more of a classic style, which was different from everybody else, which is cool to see
18:26
So I'm blown away. I don't know how you guys are gonna pick your favorite. Like, I actually have no idea
18:30
Because they were all my favorite. And good luck with that. I am so, so happy I don't have to choose
18:36
I made the right call on that one by not having to choose. Because I would be here, like, dying
18:39
I would have to choose all of you. I'm honestly sad that you can't all win. But, you know, there's always next year
18:44
