Hairdressing doll heads

[Laurensbeauty]

So I'm doing my next level in hairdressing and we have one of those creepy doll heads made of 100% human hair however I know they get dry and nasty so fast! does anyone have any advice on how to keep them nice and soft and smooth/shiny thanks

We were told never use shampoo on them or the hair matts into dreads. Just use conditioner. Seemed to work ok for me!

Yep never shampoo, although if mine had a lot of product build up I would use a little bit of clarifying shampoo just patted in gently and constantly combing through, plenty of conditioner and always use a heat protectant when using heat xx

Ive never had any problem shampooing mine before ? I never scrubbed them bit I did smooth shampoo in and condition .. I probably washed mine at least once a week.. And at most 4 times a week and they lasted 9 months of training so far and I still have them .. But not used them in a couple of months due to summer holidays xx

At college we used spray-on fabric conditioner, on damp hair, it works really well to de-tangle.

What will you be using it for?

At college a few students bought heads from eBay but they were very poor quality. Ok for practising very basic cuts but not much else. So be wary if you're looking on eBay.

I used 2 shampoo mine when needed & the trick is 2 always/only use cold h20 then condt/detangle again always cold h20. I would use a vent brush on it with condt in its hair b4 final rinse.

Hey,
I've just brought one of the training heads off ebay and the quality of mine is really good just make sure you buy 100% human hair because some of them off ebay are 50/50.

One thing that is really good for detangling them is capitals HiTech vitamin hair treatment!!!!!! We have some at the backwash in college just for them
