HAIRGINKGO 26–28" Synthetic Fiber Mannequin Head for Styling — 20" Usable Hair, Heat-Safe Training Doll

This training head features high-temperature synthetic fibers that mimic real hair movement and a 26–28 inch overall length with approximately 20 inches of usable strand length. Supplied with a table clamp and packaged in a stylish box, the mannequin is built for repeated salon practice—braiding, curling, cutting, and other styling techniques—with guidance on safe heat use and combing to reduce initial shedding.

How long is the hair and what styling tools can I use?

The mannequin has a total hair length of 26–28 inches measured from forehead to back tip, with individual strands about 20 inches. The fibers are high-temperature synthetic, which tolerate moderate heat styling when used carefully.

• Overall length: 26–28 inches; individual strands ~20 inches.
• Heat-safe up to roughly 150–170°C; keep exposure short (about 15 seconds).
• Works with curling irons, straighteners, blow dryers at recommended settings.

What practice techniques is this mannequin best for?

This head is made for a wide range of salon training tasks: braiding, cutting, sectioning, curling, and general styling. It’s suitable for both beginners learning fundamentals and experienced stylists rehearsing new looks.

• Braiding styles (box braids, French, Dutch) and updos.
• Curling and heat-styled looks within recommended temperature limits.
• Basic to intermediate cutting practice and layered trims.
• Combing, sectioning, clip placement, and color technique practice (non-chemical testing recommended on synthetic fiber).

How do I care for the synthetic fibers and prevent shedding?

Expect slight shedding the first few sessions; that’s normal for new synthetic heads. Use a wide-tooth comb and detangle from the top down, and avoid excessive heat or pulling to prolong the fiber life.

• Comb gently with a wide-tooth comb from roots to ends.
• Limit heat contact to about 15 seconds per section at 150–170°C.
• Secure the included table clamp to stabilize the head while working.
• Store in a cool, dry place and avoid harsh chemical treatments.

Who is this for? Students in cosmetology programs, barbers and salon trainees, instructors demonstrating techniques, and professional stylists practicing new methods will find this HAIRGINKGO training head useful. It balances realistic length and manageable synthetic fiber care, making it a practical choice for classrooms, at-home practice, or salon continuing education sessions where repeatable, economical practice heads are needed.
