A cheaper brand will have less density of hair. If you want it for practising hair up, you're better off with a thicker density head.

Most heads will need a basic haircut before you can use them for hair up as the hair won't be one length and can make the task trickier when your practising.

I 2nd Aliexpress.

Most of the heads you'll see on ebay are made in China anyway. But be careful because you might get a head and it will be human hair, you can tell it's human hair when it comes, but it's almost unusable after the first wash because the hair is so damaged and the ends just go to nothing.

If you can afford it look for a competition mannequin head by HairArt, but a cheaper alternative would be something by Sibel.

Its the 20 inch competition mannequin, she came with eyelashes and has pierced ears too!

I think it was around £180 including delivery.

Where did you get that Cam? Do you watch some Youtube channel called 'Womenbeauty1' ? The head she uses look lovely, the hair is like silk. Im sure she uses Hairart heads. I know the salon guy does.

 

[cassies97]

I got it from the HairArt website.

Nope, I don't watch her. I have watched the salonguy though.

Thanks alot evryone for help. Yes i hv seen womenbeauty1 and absolutely in lov wd her work and training head. Wonder whr she gets thm from. I think u mentioned its hairart heads?

Yes google hairart competition head and they have a website. The heads look amazing. It's better to fork out nearly £200 for something that will last you ages than £22 here and there for heads that get matted, wont take bleach/colour properly. You'll get a better idea of how hair works with good hair.

I don't think you need to spend £200 to get a decent training head. I agree super cheap ones aren't likely to last long but you can get something of good quality for around £60.

True, but because she loves the head Womenbeauty1 uses she should look into getting one.
Defo agree with you though. £200 is a lot to spend. I still want one though lol.

Hmm I'm just thinking recently of getting a new one myself for updo practice as I'm not great with them. Last 3 heads I've had have been the Emilys from Sally.

 

[AcidPerm]

I've got 3 Sibel Jenny heads and they are lovely quality. Perfect for hair up and practising colouring techniques.

How much do you find yourself cutting off to get a solid baseline AcidPerm? That one looks super long!
