26-28'' Mannequin Head Synthetic Fiber Long Hair Styling Training Head Dolls for Cosmetology Manikin Maniquins Practice Head with Clamp Stand Holder (6611LB0220)

My mom gets tired of me using her to practice portrait photography on so I searched on Amazon for a mannequin head after seeing a couple at a thrift shop. I was expecting to see prices starting at twice the price of this. This is the cheapest mannequin head I could find. Despite the rock bottom price, the product is perfect for my use. Hair does not pull out easily and almost feels like real hair to me. It's held up find when I ran mny fingers through to "comb" it out a couple of times. The skin is matte and soft to the touch rubbery, but is rigid enough to not dent in. Eyes balls are shaped more conical if you look in the pictures, so catch lights are not would see on a natural round retina. The eyes have a clear, glossy surface, so thery will have catch lights. Lips are glossy also. Ears are missing lobes, but otherwise can pass the glance test. Head size is a little smaller than the average head, Along with the head comes a clamp that the head mounts on. I used a piece of wooden board held by my old super clamp that was screwed to a light stand to mount the clamp. The head weighs 1lb. 6oz., while the clamp is super light at 4.9oz. as besides the metal thread, is made of plastic. I haven't yanked on her hair or tried any type of hair styling so I can;t comment on how it holds up to that, but for photography practice, I can't recommend this enough. This is shipped free with Prime, so you get this fast... even for folks like me who live in Hawaii :)

My daughter is really into doing hair. I bought this for her to practice different hair styles on. It clamps to her desk and she's able to work with it. She's learned how to french braid using this head. It's opened her creativity when it comes to hair. She's 11 yrs old and this is her newest hobby. The hair is pretty good quality. As she brushes, we are not losing hair or breaking hair. Its a great training tool.

Exactly as pictured. Her hair is long and relatively soft. You can clearly see her scalp when the hair is parted, but I think that's because of hair color and not an issue with density. A little bit of initial hair shedding.

Bought for my grand-D. There isn't much hair loss like other reviews mentioned. When I go visit I have fun styling the hair myself.

My daughter loves it. The hair is beautiful.

Purchased this so my daughter could practice curling hair. Melted on the curling iron! Safe to say it's not suitable for that. Styling different hair dos is fun though!

This was exactly as described.

My boys, my daughter-in-law and I went on a cruise, and we love to pull pranks on each other. It really looks like a human head, has makeup on and looks very convincing. I gave it to my daughter-in-law, to put on the pillow next to my son while he was still sleeping.. I even mixed up some stuff to look like blood, like her head has been cut off. She videoed his reaction and oh my gosh, it was hilarious. When it was time to leave the ship, they put it in a cabinet, I sure hope it didn’t scare the cleaning-service personnel. Now I have to wait for him to pay me back. If you have a good sense of humor and enjoy having fun, I highly recommend this mannequin head to pull a prank.
