Review on Real Hair Mannequin Head For Styling, Training, And Cosmetology Practice - Hairginkgo 100% Human Hair Manikin Head With Clamp Stand For Dyeing, Cutting, And Braiding (2019B0214) by John Sharma

I liked the hair right out the package. The length was as described and the texture is of a relaxed or straighten African American texture. However, it didn’t take long before I noticed the negatives. First, although, the hair looks thick it’s widely spaced at the scalp. The hair did shed slightly. Second the hair was really difficult to saturate with water. I tried washing the hair but it took about 5 or 6 minutes for the hair to feel wet. (This made me think that this is not 100% human hair throughout 100% of the Mannequin head. It may be a human hair blend.)Then I noticed that the quarter size amount of shampoo would not rinse completely out of the hair. I tried rinsing I for another 8 or 9 minutes. There were slight suds that would not rinse out. Finally, as I was blow drying the hair I noticed several areas in the top and sizes of the scalp area that had white dots at the hair roots. I’m pretty sure they were lice nits. After reasearching I learned that this could happen if hair isn’t properly deloused. That’s when I decided to return the mannequin. The return process was simple with no issues. I also got a chance to curl a section with my curlers set on 400 degrees. The hair curled nicely but the curls combed right out afterwards. Please inspect any mannequin you get. I’m not saying don’t buy it but keep the box just in case.
