Hi beautiful, are you ready for a Mondo makeover? Woo
0:04
I cannot wait to do some hair today, but I'm actually really nervous about the palette
0:08
of hair that I'm working with today. We got a special guest. I've been dying to get my hands on Gabby's hair
0:15
ever since I met her. There's a lot going on on that head
0:18
You'll see in a second just what I mean, but I'm confident I can completely transform her hair
0:25
get rid of all the extensions, make it all brand new again, just using some really good products
0:29
and some really good color. But this is gonna be a challenge, so let's begin. Hello, Gabby
0:34
Welcome to the studio. I got a little bit of a situation
0:39
Those of you who see my YouTube videos don't realize what's underneath. I explained it to Brad, and he's gonna save my life
0:44
And your hair. There's a lot of extensions. Yeah, it's all fake. I have clip-ins, I have really grown out eye tip extensions
0:51
I have little baby hairs tied back in rubber bands, I've got floating bobby pins
0:56
I've got different lengths of blonde going on. I'm done, I'm done. Long story short, I need his help
1:01
Okay, we're gonna do a lot to fix this up. Honestly, I know all the comments are gonna be like
1:05
just go back to brunette, you look better brunette. But people, I wanna be blonde. Like, that's like what I want
1:09
Not everybody wants a brunette. Like, we wanna be blonde. We're gonna do a hair mask, some glossing treatments
1:15
a haircut, and we're just gonna spruce things up. Without makeup on, without extensions, I feel weird
1:20
Not to get like all emotional, but I wanna feel like pretty when I'm not wearing extensions
1:25
And this all goes back to a healthier hair care routine. A lot of women, especially
1:31
have attachment to extensions too. And it's really hard to go from wearing them all the time
1:35
to not at all anymore. So I understand like why that would be so difficult for you
1:40
but we're gonna make you feel confident in your natural hair. Thank you so much. Yeah, of course
1:44
Let's transform these locks into a beautiful, fabulous, gorgeous bob. You ready
1:51
Yes, I'm ready. Let's do it. I got your hair. I'm gonna wear this for the rest of the time
1:58
Guys, comment below if you think I should do this. They are in there, girl
2:05
They're very thick too. Here we go. One down. I'm gonna do the other side
2:15
I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side
2:19
I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side
2:23
I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side
2:27
I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side
2:31
I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side
2:36
I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side. I'm gonna do the other side
2:40
I'm gonna do the other side. I know, the knots. I'm so sorry. It's all good
2:45
Nothing I can't handle. The volume that it has right now, I feel like is good for like an updo
2:49
Yeah, definitely. We'll go with that. When are you gonna be on your healthy hair journey
2:53
When is that gonna happen? I can't predict when I'll ever go back to brunette
2:57
I don't even know if that's gonna happen in my lifetime. Maybe one day it'll be like a long shadow root
3:02
almost balayage, but I think my days of being just completely blonde
3:05
and a touch of root are just gonna be there for the next 10 years. I Googled you today
3:10
I was looking at your photos and just like what you've done with your hair. There's been a lot of looks
3:14
I didn't realize that you had dark hair, you had light hair, you had balayage
3:18
you had long, medium. What was your favorite look? It was like this weird in between color I had
3:24
when I was very young. It was almost like a strawberry orangey brown
3:29
I asked for red hair and then they gave me that, not auburn
3:33
and I liked it. I love like brassy yellow people. Tear me apart online
3:37
they're like girl, get some purple shampoo. I love. Brassy yellow. I love like
3:43
You're not getting that from me. I love like that trashy blonde color
3:47
We'll give you warm. Like I love being Goldilocks. You like that Barbie hair look. Barbie
3:52
Fresh out of the factory plastic hair look. Yep, I love it. We got all the extensions out
4:00
and all of your hair is now over here. Oh my gosh
4:04
that is so much hair. I have to be honest with you, it's better than I thought
4:09
There's not super severe breakage on the top, like you have layers. Like once we clean this up
4:14
you don't have one piece that's an inch long. And to do a bob, we need just a little bit of length on the top
4:19
and some length on the bottom and we can clean this up and make it look beautiful. But seriously
4:24
like you can wear your natural hair and we can get it there to a place
4:27
where it looks really healthy and beautiful without extensions. Oh my God, thank you
4:31
We're gonna start with a deep conditioning treatment, Super Gloss, my product
4:35
It's gonna make your hair so much healthier and feel healthier and be healthier internally with Bond Builder
4:39
Then we're gonna give you a glossing treatment. We're gonna change your color a little bit
4:43
just to make it a little less maintenance for you and you don't have to color it as often
4:47
but still keep you very blonde. Then we're gonna do a little trim. I'm gonna take off as much as I can
4:51
without making your hair short and then we're gonna blow it out, style it, give you a really cute overall look at the end
4:57
a little shadow root and a bob. I'm excited to do that. All right, let's get into it
5:00
Let's get this glue out. Let's get your hair washed. Let's do it all. Let's do it
5:07
Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it
5:11
Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it
5:15
Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it
5:19
Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it
5:23
Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it

Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it
5:59
Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it
6:03
Let's do it. You are saving my... I'm so excited though to like get my hands in the cut too because once we get these ends
6:11
off, it's going to look even better. And we're going to put this color on, get your makeup done, bring everything together stylish
6:17
You're going to look really bad. That's the goal. All right, let me start the color
6:22
Let's get this on. Let's get some of this banding you got going on out
6:25
This band. Um, it looks better now that everything is kind of blown out and everything's kind of
6:30
blending better, but we're going to soften that band a little bit. Get more of a root shadow going on
6:35
Get just a little bit of the yellow out of the ends. I want to still keep you yellow because you like that
6:39
I just want to bring it together a little bit more, make it a little more cohesive of a look and add even more shine
6:44
Add some class to my hair. That's my goal. Thanks. And also, Joelle is here to start your makeup. Hello
6:50
How are you? I'm good. How are you? Gorgeous. Good. I think a fierce eye, a beautiful skin
6:56
I love it. And a gorgeous lip. Thank you. Pull it all together, bring the look together
7:01
It's going to look fabulous. Yay! I'm so excited. Let's do it
7:06
Let's make magic. Amazing. Alright, Gabby
7:17
Tell me about life. Can you say that again, please? No. Tell me about your life
7:22
I want to know about your life on YouTube because you've been on YouTube for a really
7:26
long time, right? It's been 11 years. Holy s***. A long time
7:30
It's twice as long as me and I feel like I'm ancient online
7:33
I seriously thought I wouldn't be making YouTube videos this far in, but here we are
7:39
Niki and I are still making content. We're still vlogging. And we enjoy it
7:43
Speaking of your sister, there was something in the past, right, with you two
7:47
Or am I imagining that? Are you talking about when I got mad at her for uploading a non-Photoshopped photo of me
7:54
No, I did not know that, but that's hilarious. I love that. That was a big scandal
7:58
Everyone thought it was a publicity stunt because our reality show, or like season four of our
8:02
reality show came out and everyone thought it was just perfect timing because episode one just got released
8:07
So they thought it was for that. It was a genuine sister fight online
8:11
It was in my messy era, like really petty, messy era. I didn't mind calling people out and being drama online
8:18
You guys have always been very different though, which is really cool because I feel like twins
8:21
are usually very similar, but you guys have really kind of paved your own paths and become
8:26
very different people. You know, I have identical twins sharing a birthday
8:30
You don't even get your own birthday to yourself. We share everything in life and now it's like we're branching off
8:34
We shared a career for the last 10 plus years. We're still doing Nikki and Gabby, but we're totally embracing different endeavors
8:41
I'm doing perfume and music and Nikki's doing music and music. It's like so crazy to see the trajectory of where we started to where we are now
8:50
Did you guys do that on purpose? No, it just was a natural flow
8:54
We definitely got burnt out at one point on Nikki and Gabby and we kept pushing through
8:58
that burnout because it was quarantine. What else was there to do
9:02
We definitely filmed too much and that's what led to a burnout and we took like a five month break
9:08
We kind of went through our own things in our lives and then we came back together and
9:13
then yeah, we're still doing Nikki and Gabby. How do you get along so well
9:16
We don't get along so well, which is the crazy part. Everyone's like, oh my God, you could tell how genuine they are in this video
9:22
The relationship grew so much. Yeah, maybe we matured emotionally, but we're still sisters that bigger and it's really
9:29
really hard to share everything with your sister, including a career and a business
9:33
As long as we're doing Nikki and Gabby, there's always going to be a factor that gets in the way. Speaking of your vlogs, we've got a surgery vlogs, don't we
9:40
Yes, we have a good classic surgery moment. And I binged all of your surgery vlogs because I'm so fascinated by people's surgery journeys
9:48
Oh my God, some of them are wild. Like, have you gotten a lot of backlash for posting those
9:53
I would imagine people would be like, why are you doing that? And they feel like they have an opinion over your face or something
9:58
You brought up the third nose job vlog. I thought by at that point, people would just like soften up and be like, OK, she's just
10:04
going to do what she's going to do. The whole comment section was still lecturing me about how I have body dysmorphia, how I
10:10
need to get help. So, you know, whatever, I'll just let them talk to each other in the comments
10:14
But I loved and appreciated certain things that I've done. I'd like to say I've been taking it easy a little bit
10:20
There was a point where I was kind of doing one thing after the next, and maybe that's where those comments are coming from
10:25
As of recent, I think I'm chilling and I took some of those hate comments with a grain of salt
10:30
Your face is your brand. Your face is your work. What's the first procedure you ever got done
10:34
My lips. Like as soon as I turned 18, I threw myself in the lip filler chair the day after
10:41
Like film me. Literally, the day after my 18th birthday, I threw myself in a chair
10:45
I didn't know that you'd swell up. I didn't know what to do because my parents would see my mouth was swollen and they were
10:51
very against. Like they heard me talking about wanting to do stuff to my face my whole like high school years
10:58
So they were very against it, especially because I wanted to get all that stuff done at that age
11:02
I hit up my ex-boyfriend and I was like, can I please just pack a bag and stay with you
11:06
till my lips go down? And he's like, sure. I don't know. I look back at like my first procedure and even though it made me so happy, it gives
11:12
me anxiety remembering like how I had to hide it from so many different people, including
11:16
my twin sister. Like she was that twin or that sister that if she found out and like I was still like
11:21
hiding from my parents, she would just tell them like I couldn't hide from anybody
11:25
And Nikki saw my lips, told my parents because she was scared for me
11:29
And then my parents saw my lips and then I got punished and everything got taken away
11:33
from me for a week. But I still love my lips. You told me that like makeup helped you kind of like feel good about yourself too
11:40
Way before I could get anything done, like makeup was my best friend and it still is
11:43
There's something so beautiful about makeup because like if you weren't born looking a certain way, you could just achieve it by using your hands and product
11:51
It was such a quick fix. Where the surgery came into play is I got tired of having to put on certain makeup looks
11:58
to get a certain look. I was like, you know what? I'm tired of this. I want to wake up looking like this
12:03
So that's where certain surgeries like my nose came into play. My eyes
12:08
That was a scary one. That was a really scary surgery. That one scared me a little bit for you
12:13
Nobody told me that my whole entire face would be super swollen for a year after that one
12:17
series of surgeries. I felt like I only had like maybe three weeks of swelling, but oh my gosh, for a whole year
12:23
my face looks crazy. What was that first time like putting that online
12:27
Like, was that really scary or did you start slowly? It took like a while for me to open up about my lips and own up to them
12:33
I was going through the whole lip filler owning up thing before Kylie Jenner even got a syringe
12:37
So that should just paint a picture how like not talked about lip filler was in the time
12:42
that I was getting it. So then when Kylie Jenner kind of opened up about her lip filler, it gave me like confidence
12:47
to talk about my lip filler. By the time I was getting my nose done, I was confident to post it out of surgery
12:53
What advice would you give to somebody who's thinking about getting their first filler
12:58
or surgery? Would you say go ahead and do it? Would you say like, think about it
13:02
I would say definitely think about it. If it's something you've been wanting and you feel like you'll feel your soul come into
13:08
your body when it's done, do it and disregard everybody's opinions. Just honestly do what makes you feel like the best version of yourself
13:15
The people that are judging and have something to say, they're not you. You just got to keep living for yourself and just like f*** everybody else's opinion, honestly
13:22
Because they're not going to be the one walking around looking fabulous. You saved up for your first surgery from YouTube, I assume
13:28
I actually specifically got a brand deal for my first nose job. Wait, really
13:31
Like you didn't pay for any of it? No, no. I didn't pay for it, but I got like a certain brand deal
13:35
I set aside the money for my nose job. Yeah. I think it was that period app
13:39
Well, thank you period app for sponsoring Gabby's nose job. You guys are the best
13:43
Here's another free sponsorship. Another free sponsorship. Check out period app. What's your favorite YouTube era
13:51
When the saturated era ended and like vlogs became everything. When you say that, what does that mean
13:56
Like those lifestyle girls that would like have bright neon everything and like be on
14:01
penny boards. I think saturated. I think it meant like a lot of people on YouTube. No, I liked when there was not so much pressure on like being a cookie cutter lifestyle girly
14:11
It definitely edged up a little bit for us in like 2016, 2017. So I would say that
14:15
Were you a part of that like cookie cutter? I was like unintentionally in it
14:19
Like Nikki and I, we've never been cookie cutter. Anyone who knows us outside. No, you guys are wild
14:23
We're freaking wild. Both of them are wild. I was so shocked when I met you guys
14:27
I was like, wow, they're actually like really fun. Not that you don't look fun online, but like it's a different level of like wild when you
14:34
hang out with people outside of like YouTube. They're like jumping beans
14:38
Like they are nuts. Offline before YouTube, I've always been like energetic, but I feel like I hid a certain
14:46
side of me online. What side of you? Just super like crazy and not so cookie cutter
14:52
Like I love to party. I love a good time. I have dirty humor
14:56
I don't know. It must have been scary transitioning from like cookie cutter to showing more of your life. Definitely
15:03
What's something that people wouldn't know about you? I could list a few, but it just wouldn't be right in here
15:08
She was like, I was out in Orangey last night. Everything comes out in the hair chart
15:27
All right
15:44
The color has been applied. We're going to let this process for about 15, 20 minutes. We're going to rinse it out and style your hair and then you'll see your final look
15:52
I'm so excited. I am so ready for this. Let's finish it off
15:56
Let's do the damn thing. Okay
16:15
I just finished styling your hair and it's time to see the final result
16:21
I always get nervous. I'm nervous too. It's a big change. So get ready
16:26
Should I look up? You can look up. Oh my gosh. I am a big fan of this
16:30
I'm a big fan of this. I'm a big fan of this. I'm a big fan of this. I'm a big fan of this
16:34
I'm a big fan of this. I'm a big fan of this. I'm a big fan of this. I'm a big fan of this
16:38
I'm a big fan of this. I'm a big fan of this. I'm a big fan of this. I'm a big fan of this
16:42
I'm a big fan of this. I'm a big fan of this. I'm a big fan of this. I'm a big fan of this
16:46
I'm a big fan of this. I'm a big fan of this. I am obsessed with this look
16:55
You look so elegant. We were working with a palette that was damaged and that hadn't been cut in years and that
17:03
had a little banding and things going on. We were able to make it feel so healthy and look brand new
17:09
I literally can't believe it either. I thought we're going to put some extensions in and have to fill it out more
17:14
You have a great amount of hair. I'm tired of people telling me my hair is damaged
17:18
You ruined it. No, I didn't. There's some length over here. It looks so cute behind your ears like this too
17:24
I know it's a huge adjustment because you came in with completely different hair
17:28
I love it. This looks really sick and I feel like it just embraces your natural beauty so much
17:33
Thank you. It's going to grow out healthily now that it's all cut and even
17:39
That's the best word to describe my hair right now, just even. You have good hair underneath all that
17:45
You give it a little rest and it'll be perfect. This is so healthy feeling
17:49
It really is. I wish people could feel through this screen. It feels so different and it has this natural shine to it that just wasn't there before
17:57
Everything really came together to give you such a natural, beautiful look
18:02
I feel like Posh Spice. I love it. Thank you. You look so beautiful
18:07
I love this. Honestly, it feels so good to have it off the back of my neck. Yeah
18:12
It feels so good. Is this what you feel like? Does it not just feel good to run your hands through your hair
18:17
Get in there, girl. Like, mess it up. Oh! Like, this is my hair
18:21
So, we did the conditioning treatment, but I want to talk about the color. Definitely different than what you walked in with
18:25
You showed me the extensions you were getting tomorrow, so we tried to like match it a bit without being too, too dark
18:30
You know, we kept some of that gold in there, but kind of toned it down a bit just to match
18:34
your complexion a little better. Then we finished off with a haircut. We just did a simple bob and kept it about shoulder length, then added some layers in
18:41
there just to get rid of those crispy ends. Have you ever been seen online without extensions in the past, like, 10, 7 years or maybe in
18:48
the beginning, but... Not for a second. Like, I think the last time was 2017. Last summer, everyone thought that they were seeing me without extensions, but I had like
18:57
a row of clip-ins that were short. So, like, they thought, they were like, look, she actually has natural hair, guys
19:02
This is the real natural you. This is the real natural me. Wow
19:07
I'm going to be obviously giving you a bunch of products. You're going to be doing masks once a week. Oh my god
19:11
You're going to do recalibrate treatments. So, I think that's everything that this bag you need to use, and let's get your hair to
19:15
feel really, really good and be really long naturally, because your hair is really thick
19:19
and beautiful naturally. You don't even need extensions. I know. I love how thick my natural hair is
19:23
What's this? I haven't felt this in forever. Once this grows out, you're going to have naturally long, long hair
19:30
I want that. I want that for you. I want that. That's my goal
19:34
That's the goal. That was so fun. Thank you. Thank you for coming in
19:38
Thank you so much. You're so beautiful. Damn. That was a day
19:42
By the way, don't anybody come after me when she changes her hair tomorrow because she is getting extensions put in
19:46
We are all aware of that, right? Okay, great. I just prepped her hair for the extensions, but she is still doing them, and that's okay
19:54
That's what makes her feel beautiful, and I love both looks on her. I love the short
19:58
I love the long, but you let me know down below what you think looks best on Gabi
20:02
Is it the long? Is it the short? Is it the more yellowy blonde? Is it the more creamy, pearlescent blonde
20:08
I don't know. I like both. That's all for today, guys. Thank you for watching, and make sure you check out Gabi's channel linked below, and
20:14
all the Ex Mondo products are linked below. Don't forget to live your extra life, and I'll see you next time. Bye
