WEICHENHAIR 26–28" Synthetic Mannequin Training Head Black — Heat-Resistant Fibers, Includes Table Clamp

WEICHENHAIR 26-28'' synthetic mannequin training head is a heat-resistant practice head designed for braiding, cutting, curling and everyday styling practice.

This mannequin head features high-temperature synthetic fiber hair in a deep black shade, with a total length of 26–28 inches and individual strands approximately 20 inches long. It arrives packaged in a colorful box and includes a free table clamp so you can secure the head while you practice techniques used in salons, cosmetology classes, and at-home training. The fiber tolerates styling tools at controlled temperatures and is ideal for repeated practice of braids, updos, trims and thermal techniques when used as directed.

How heat-resistant is the synthetic fiber and how should I style it safely?

The hair on this head is made from high-temperature synthetic fiber that accepts some thermal styling. To avoid melting or damage, use hot tools at moderate temperatures and short contact times. This ensures you can practice curling and heat-based styles while protecting the fibers.

• Recommended iron temperature: 150–170°C (302–338°F).
• Limit direct hot tool contact to about 15 seconds per section.
• Use a heat-protectant spray made for synthetic fibers when available.
• Test a small, hidden strand first before full styling.

Can this mannequin be used for braiding, cutting, and salon training?

Yes — the design is intended for multiple salon techniques, from classic and creative braids to wet or dry cutting and thermal styling. The hair density and strand length give realistic practice for sectioning, tension control and finishing. It’s a practical option for students and professionals refining technique without a live model.

• Suitable for French, Dutch, box and feed-in braids.
• Long 26–28" length enables layered or blunt cuts and long styles.
• Good for practicing updos, ponytails and styling sequences.
• Includes a clamp to secure the head for stable practice.

How much maintenance does the mannequin require and does it shed?

New synthetic heads can shed slightly at first; gentle handling and proper combing quickly reduce loose fibers. Use a wide-tooth comb and work from the top toward the tips to detangle. Avoid aggressive pulling and store the head in a cool, dry place to maintain fiber condition.

• Comb with a wide-tooth comb starting at the roots down to tips.
• Minimal shedding typically after a few gentle comb-throughs.
• Avoid high heat and harsh chemical treatments that damage fiber.
• Keep attached clamp for stable storage and practice setup.

What comes in the box and how does the clamp help?

The package contains one mannequin training head and a free table clamp that fastens the head securely to desks and workstations. The clamp keeps the head steady so you can practice precise techniques like sectioning, braiding and cutting with both hands free. The colorful box protects the head during shipping and storage.

• 1 x WEICHENHAIR training head with 26–28" synthetic hair.
• 1 x adjustable table clamp for secure mounting.
• Packaging: protective colorful box for transport and storage.
• Instruction note: comb from top to tip to reduce initial shedding.

Who is this for: This mannequin head is suited to cosmetology students, hairdressers, barbers, salon educators and hobbyists who want an affordable, reusable tool to practice braiding, cutting and heat styling techniques. It’s especially useful where consistent, repeatable practice is needed without a live model — schools, training workshops, home study and product demonstrations.
