WEICHENHAIR 16" Real Human Hair Mannequin Head for Braiding & Cutting — Afro/Textured, Clamp Included

This training head combines authentic human hair feel with durable construction so students and professionals can practice realistic techniques. The model marketed as a 16" afro training head has individual strand lengths around 16–18 inches; when uncompressed the hair measures approximately 22–24 inches from the forehead to the back tips. It ships with a table clamp and arrives in a colorful gift box, ready for cosmetology lessons, barbershop drills or at-home styling practice.

How realistic is the hair for cutting and heat styling?

The mannequin uses top-grade real human hair, so it responds to combing, heat tools and texturizing much like natural hair. You can practice cutting layers, using curl irons or straighteners, and working with relaxers or heat-based techniques; avoid bleaching or strong chemical dyeing to protect the fiber integrity. New heads may shed a little initially — gentle wide-tooth combing reduces that quickly.

• 100% real human hair construction for authentic handling
• Suitable for curling, cutting, braiding, setting and updos
• Avoid bleaching or aggressive chemical coloring
• Wide-tooth comb from roots to tips to minimize initial shedding

Does it include mounting hardware and how stable is it during practice?

The set includes a free table clamp designed to secure the mannequin for hands-on work. The clamp locks the head in place for braiding exercises, precision cuts and styling demos, providing a steady platform similar to a salon station. It’s compact and easy to attach to desks or worktables used in training settings.

• Free heavy-duty table clamp included in the package
• Clamp fits most standard tables and training stations
• Stable base for braiding, cutting and heat styling practice
• Quick to attach and remove for mobile training setups

What length and texture should I expect for afro styling practice?

The head is optimized for afro and textured styles while still allowing straightening and curl work. Individual strands are approximately 16–18 inches long; when stretched or laid flat the full hair length reaches about 22–24 inches from forehead to back tips. This provides enough length for intricate braids, updos and layered cutting exercises.

• Designed for afro and natural hair styling techniques
• Individual strand length: ~16–18 inches; full stretched length: ~22–24 inches
• Sufficient length for braids, twists, updos and layered cuts
• Can be straightened or curled with proper heat control

How do I care for the mannequin to extend its life?

Gentle handling and correct tool temperatures keep the hair in good condition. Use a wide-tooth comb, avoid bleaching and high-temperature exposure, and store the head upright or in its original box when not in use. Occasional light conditioning will help maintain softness without compromising styling performance.

• Comb gently with a wide-tooth comb to prevent tangling
• Avoid bleach and aggressive chemical processing
• Use heat tools at moderate temperatures and brief contacts
• Store in the included box or on a stand to protect the hair
