my hair: DELETED SCENES
🕑 Added 2021-01-11 17:10:01 +0000 UTCUh oh, I thought I'd have just a few clips to post after this hair video, but it ended up being 8 minutes long.
I've decided to upload all behind-the-scenes/deleted scenes videos to Vimeo so I can pop a password over to my patrons instead of forcing you all to download multiple gigs worth of videos!

I'll say that this video gave me flashbacks to this ancient livestream from the beginning of my video-making days. It's been a while since I've cut my own hair or had a roommate cut it, and it's invigorating. Nothing like putting your hair in the hands of an untrained barber to really put things in perspective.
I also feel like the thumbnail I made for this video might be my best work to date:

The worm face. The very distraught version of me chilling in the shower. The light overlay of me with a bowl cut just hanging out in the background, like a guardian angel. It's so nice to be able to make terrible thumbnail choices again.
P.S. I sent a picture of my hairβfront and backβto my siblings immediately after filming this, and my brother responded with this image.

I have become coin slot dog.

Honestly this video alone was worth the subscription money for the whole month.

I got soooooo stressed when the scissors came out.

Your hair video was my favorite and the deleted scenes is worth the money alone π€£

I feel so privileged to be a patron of yours.
Joseph Derbyshire
That was hilarious when you said that you had to realize that you are a size small instead of a medium. I literally had the same realization a couple months ago and now I joke about it when ever I go shopping for clothes. hahaha

Karenβs camerawork in these videos just makes them *chefs kiss* Also, I read the Vimeo password before watching the video but still didnβt expect the mullet π ππ»ππ»ππ» superb job sir

Thank you
David Ellison
It's in the description above the giant picture that says "my hair" and has the worm face.

What is the password to the video or how do I get it???

I liked Karen's help with the haircut, and the inclusion of her throughout the video, not just when the hair needed to be cut in the back :)
Chris Ressler
This whole thing made my wife very upset

Video ruled; deleted scenes ruled; coin dog rules. In summary: very good.

Watching this while doing my own hair stuffs was honestly the best decision I have ever made in my life. Thank you Brian. We aren't worthy of this brilliance.

Your partner is a good camera operator!

'Wow, Brian hasn't cut his hair in a while. It's so. long.' Loljk let's go on an ADVENTURE. 10/10 looking good through all styles.
Sam Brinton
i just impulsively cut my hair yesterday and my roommate had to fix it. i feel so seen by this video
Harper MacDonald
I'm so glad to still be getting BDG content. I am also 26 and a creative idiot with a tendency to take things too far, so I feel like I'm watching my people (person?) succeed.
Roberto Rubio
Thanks Brian! Wonderful first video back on the indie scene!

"My baby having kids." Gets out the curlers.

This went off the rails immediately. It began off the rails. This is the kind of content i'm looking for.

My dear Korean mum forced a perm on me at the tender age of 10. I had a fringe and a bob and she permed it all. I looked like someone glued a pyramid made of pubes to my head. You know, just in case she thought I ever had a chance of making any friends at school.

The pompadour alone makes the patreon money well worth it.
Brian David Gilbert
oh wow this is extremely good to know. my secret plan to make a hair tutorial just to get actual hair advice is paying off

this is extremely wholesome

I've had to cut my hair three times now (cutting my waste-length hair off in June 2020 was mmmmm questionable), and it is genuinely shocking how much you can get away with with if you do that specific hairstyle. Now to go buy a hairdryer and styling jell because I just... forgot those were things that existed...
Jacob Bearce
Amazing and unexpected in all the right ways. Can't wait to see where your solo career takes you. Keep it up!

coming from a guy who has similar hair type/length (before the bowl cut) I will say I very much relate to how you spoke on how you have to DO something to your hair if you don't like it. I grew up hating how my hair never looked how I wanted it to without putting any effort into it. But I will say, having still not really invested a lot of time in managing my hair style, I think I've come to appreciate the way hair shapes the face naturally rather than the actual styling of the hair itself, you know? I have barely any idea what I'm talking about. Anyways, thanks for sharing!

was literally just thinking about silicones!! for a good cheap silicone-free-but-has-sulfates shampoo, I like Garnier's Replenishing Shampoo with Olive Oil & Lead Extracts. if you wash twice a month (or once a week if need be), you can get all the silicone and hair styling product residue out without overly damaging your hair. sulfates aren't all bad!
Prius
so much appreciation for Karen everywhere!!!

Brian, I need you to know that at about 01:16 on the Vimeo outtakes vid, you look like a dead ringer for Andre Agassi circa 1987, and that's the best thing anyone can be at any given time ever.
Laura W
Dude these were my first thoughts exactly. Brian is such a wavy! I know that the point of this video is that the material is an illusion and Ursula could wreck us at ANY time, but if you ever wanna go balls to the wall, Brian, check out r/curlyhair on reddit. It is a wild ride, and one of the most well-kempt cults I've ever had the pleasure to be a part of.

"I have become coin slot dog" destroyer of worlds.

While I agree that this should not be anyone's go-to video regarding haircuts, all your advice about products and hairdryers is spot on! A lot of cis straight guys don't do anything with their hair and then just keep buzzing or whatever because at least it doesn't look ~~bad that way, but all you need is a BIT of time and the right product and you can get great results! I'd also like to add directly AT Brian -- you should check your hair products for silicones as well! especially if your shampoo doesn't have sulfates. Because if your conditioner has silicones but your shampoo doesn't have sulfates then the shampoo won't be able to wash off the silicones and they will stick to your hair! So you should at least like twice a month wash it with a sulfate shampoo to get rid of silicone residue :D (curly girls where u at!!!)
Miranda Grace
absolutely primo content. this is exactly what im happy to pay for. also please condition your hair more it makes it less oily over time and more healthy. 10/10

Brian's hair's naturally wavyness really was making that mullet WORK for him not gonna lie . I've recently cut both my mom's and brother's hair so i really sympathize with Karen's emotional journey here.
Viniter
Excuse me? I came here for jokes and instead I get highly professional hairstyle advice? I would like a refund!
ali
i felt so spoiled with all those deleted scenes but also can i say??? i actually kinda learned some stuff (because i have the same hair as the Final Look) so Thanks Brian

i'm real glad that train didn't stop at bowl-cut station (aka Mandark Memorial Station) for too long
Patrick Crutchley
weeping, absolutely weeping at the bowl cut reveal
Lucas P.
Thanks for the video Brian. It really teaches all of us the most important lesson in life: embrace your cowlick
Emma Allain
Bowl cut Brian looks exactly like every student at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design π
DottyMatrix
Yes! So much appreciation for Karen's work here too!
Brian David Gilbert
whoops I left the old link from a test upload in there! The vimeo link should work, but I've just updated the link to the YouTube hair video.
Mory
So, pompadour is just Brian doing a jojo's hair cosplay uh
Nova Wolfebroek
thanks for the deleted scenes that was an extra joy for my morning ! basically spent the last half hour smiling and laughing due to both videos!! you rock!
Elizabeth Acosta
I know this video is about Brian's hair but can I just say that Karen's camera work and comedic timing is just *chef's kiss*
Kane Dingo
Brian with bowl cut made me laugh so hard I fell out of bed
Nathan Hayes
We must all strive to become coin slot dog.
SunnyDispositi0n

Also running into privacy issues with the YouTube link above
Krys Ren
Also having trouble with the privacy of video link thing. May just have to have it as unlisted? Or make it another Vimeo upload with password?
Nermal Kitten
Youtube link comes back as private. Maybe you need to have it private but available with link?
