“The first girl” we are talking about THE Serena Neel…

Did I click on this because I recognized Serena? Yes. So thumbnail worked!

OMG I'm screaming I use to watch these videos growing up and now I'm in one what!!! love you hahaha 🫶🫶

Serena neel (the first girl) is such an amazing person! She gives way more than any other person I have ever seen in my life and she also shows people extremely good cost saving things to do in your own life. Like her eye lash extensions, her hair extensions, self tanning and she does her own nails.... She is not a poor person in any, way, shape, or form but shows people that you can do it yourself for a fraction of the price ❤️. We need more people like this in this world ❤️.

Serena has the patience beyond anything, she painted her bathroom for every holiday this year! She is insanely patient!!!

Serena Neel is a GOAT and is one of the best influencers. So extremely caring and giving and patient. She did in fact learn how to nail doing this herself lol

Serena (first girl) has incredible patience. She paints her bathroom every holiday and she did her laundry room GINGHAM. She takes everything and will spend hours taping and removing tape, not to mention all the colors. She is my spirit animal.

To think that Serena spends a lot for other people and not spend a dime for her extensions makes me love her more. Serena Neel is the Goat.

Lets be honest, the first woman KILLED it! She did outstandingly!

i saw serena on the thumbnail and immediately clicked

The first girl should be a cosmetologist, anyone that has this much patience to do this on their own hair definitely has the ability

Here in Dec 2025. I KNEW I'd seen this woman before but knew it wasn't hair related, went to Tiktok with her name and she's one of the amazing Angel tree ladies!!

As a black woman, it was really interesting to see the first woman put her extensions in. Historically, we have used cornrows as our base - not beads. Really educational for me tbh!

Brad 23:06 lecturing us like he didn't just tell us about his own "1 hour until I have to go somewhere, time to bleach and throw a color on my hair" lol

What's even crazier is that Serena spends so much money on other people, and chooses to do THIS, herself ❤️

Nothing is more surreal than scrolling through YouTube and seeing your childhood best friend in Brad Mondo’s video. Definitely go give Serena Neel a follow, she is so kind, funny, and amazing.

I used to try to French braid my own hair as a kid and would get so tired and frustrated I’d break down crying.   I could never sew in my own extensions!!!  I’m with you, Brad

man I am a seamstress and handsew stuff nearly every day and I would not have the patience to sew this.. let alone on my head... let alone with such a long length of thread.... total props to her for managing it!

can we just salute the Queen of cornrow and then sew ins? OMG the skill is crazy

As someone who exclusively does my hair on my own (box braids, natural dreads, dread extensions, sew ins, cuts colors bleaches highlights etc) I can officially explain how people can do their hair without looking.

My findings: We see with our fingers. Literally. Like eyeballs on my fingers, anything I touch I can visualise. So I can, by feel, literally see the back of my head. I'm certain others who can do this are the same 😂

Eyeballs on fingers + training = unstoppable DIY power haha
