A must-have for every hairdresser!

A good mannequin head is essential for every hairdressing student. Many professional hairdressers and other stylists and find them invaluable when experimenting with new styles and techniques. If you’re looking to buy a head for yourself, avoid cheap materials like polystyrene and go for a better-quality one made from fiberglass. Decide whether a male head or female head will be more appropriate, and make sure your head isn’t top-heavy –you don’t want it falling over.

You can get a good head directly from a mannequin seller, but some salons also have heads. If you’re wanting to buy a head online, three places to check out are Munchkin Mannequins, Mannequin Plus and SalonShop.
