Anstar 28" Cosmetology Mannequin Head with 24" Blonde Gradient Hair — Practice Braiding & Styling

Anstar's 28-inch cosmetology mannequin head is a realistic training doll with 24-inch blonde gradient hair designed for braiding, styling practice, and display.

This practice mannequin blends a lifelike head form with long synthetic hair to help students, salon pros, and hobbyists rehearse braids, updos, and display work without needing a live model. The head ships with a table clamp and basic braiding accessories so you can mount it securely and begin practicing immediately. Note that the fiber hair is for styling practice only — it’s not suitable for chemical processing like bleaching or permanent dye, and it’s not designed for makeup application.

How does this mannequin help me practice realistic hairstyles?

The head offers proportional facial features and a full, even hairline so you can simulate real-world styling scenarios. Its 24-inch hair length allows for intricate braids, ponytails, and layered updos that mirror salon techniques.

• 24-inch synthetic hair length for multi-step styles
• Even hair density along the crown and sides for realistic parting
• Durable neck base that accepts a clamp for stable practice

Can I use it for coloring, cutting, or heat styling?

This mannequin is optimized for cutting, braiding, and heat-styling tools rated safe for synthetic fiber. It is not intended for chemical treatments such as bleaching or permanent dyeing, which can damage the fiber and head base.

• Safe for mechanical cutting and most low-to-moderate heat styling tools
• Avoid bleach, permanent dyes, and chemical relaxers
• Brush gently to reduce initial loose hairs and prolong fiber life

What comes in the package and how do I mount it?

The package includes the mannequin head with blonde gradient hair, a table clamp for secure mounting, and simple braiding accessories to get started. The clamp fastens to most tabletops or workstations; insert the mannequin’s neck into the clamp and tighten until the head is stable.

• One 28-inch head with 24-inch synthetic hair
• Adjustable table clamp compatible with standard desks and tables
• Basic braiding accessories included for immediate practice

How do I care for the mannequin hair to reduce shedding?

Initial shedding is normal and typically decreases after a few gentle brushings. Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for synthetic hair, detangle from tips to roots, and avoid aggressive pulling to minimize fiber loss.

• Brush gently, starting at the ends and working upward
• Do not use chemical treatments or high-temperature tools beyond recommended limits
• Store upright or mounted to prevent tangling and deformation

Who is this for: The Anstar 28" mannequin head is suited for cosmetology students, salon trainees, beauty instructors, and creative hobbyists, including younger learners exploring hairstyling. It’s also a practical display prop for jewelry or accessory presentation in retail environments where a long, styled mane is useful for showing finished looks.
