So, I already have Yolanda mannequin for braiding, but I want to get another mannequin to practice curling and updos. Is this mannequin good for that

The hair is rather thin but with teasing and product it will work great for updos because of the length. I've done a lot with her so far.

it's natural human hair and responds well to hot tools, though there are a few synthetic tidbits here and there that might melt. she's ok for up-do's. the ends are a bit stringy so you won't get dazzling results, but just for practice it's good.

Yes, my daughter has been very satisfied with the quality! She has curled, straightened, and washed the hair several times.

her hair is really damaged and i had to keep on cutting her and she still had damaged hair its a waste of money

I use it for updos. It's perfect. I've done plenty of styles. It has the perfect length and the quality of hair is good too. It's made for curling irons and other hot tools.

We have not tried any heat on this mannequin. Only use it to practice braiding. However we do own a Whitney and that is the one we use for practice with curling irons. The texture is not as silky as with Yolanda.

I don't know how long or how thick your hair is. Mine is shoulder length and very fine, not real thick. I use 12 rollers. I use 3 sizes, jumbo, large and the next size down. That gives me plenty of body and curl. There are 30 rollers in my set and I don't use the 6 tiny ones. That leaves you with 24 to work with, remember I only use 12 and my head is pretty well covered. I really don't think you will need any additional rollers at this time. They last a long time, and you can reorder rollers then. I have been using Caruso for at 30 years (give or take a year) and I have only bought new rollers 3 times. I think that is pretty good especially since I use it just about every day. I can't say that about any other appliance I have. CARUSO IS THE VERY BEST! I hope I helped you:) Get it and you'll really love it!

I have been using braided line and it works well. However, I have been just back into fishing for a little over a year so it might help to talk to someone else. I like the reel, though, and would recommend it whole-heartedly!

Yes that is why I bought this to learn braiding and updos. Great hair to work with. I'm a barber.

I haven't tried but it has nice body and curl in it, I actually think I would have preferred a straight version because it doesn't take much to tangle - the over all construction of the wig great though and even my aunt and cousin complemented me on the fit and over all look of the wig (they are hairdressers and we know hairdressers are extraordinarily opinionated)

Yes . You would need to hold the stand nd wig steady with one hand as you brush wig with the other hand, so it doesn't tip over. It is lightweight and the wig is not secured on it. A mannequin head costs a heck of alot more. This is great for my wig collection .I have ten of these, they work great as stands and work station. Kathy

my granddaughter uses it for cos-play, but she said it would be good for braiding

This particular wig is pretty well made and shouldn't lose much of it's hair when being brushed or detangled. As for the curls they'll lose a bit of the initial firm bounce after a brush or so but the curls should be able to last a while. I've had mine a while and one just like it in another color and they both have their curls relatively intact from the initial purchase. If anything you could always recurl them as needed.

It depends on how thick is your hair, I have good amount of hair and about 5 inches below the shoulder, and my individual hair qulity are normal, but my cousin has scary amount of hair, I am talking about you can't do a pony tail with one hand, I won't recommend this to her because I don't think there are enough rollers for her hair, but if your hair is thick and hard, I believe the curl will hold better than normal hair, the curls are natrue looking, not too small that make you look like you just step out of the 40's or 50's movie, they are big waves, if you leave them long enough they should hold up well. Overall I like it, but since I am no hair specialist nor have I seen your hair, I can't realy tell you. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Hopefully the little bit info helps.

I'm sure if you braided several equal length brands together to make a rope it would work more comfortably than one single strand; though the single strand would hold your weight at cost of comfort - which could result in a fall. Thick Knots on a single strand would be okay for climbing or lowering short distances.

Well i purchased it thinking it was a scarf its more like a giant do rag. That picture doesnt really show how it really looks it was good for my braids its like a pouch you can put your hair in it might work with rollers. I don't know if this helps you.

Hi Angela, The one that I bought is being used for display. It's proportions have been very consistent with a woman's size small throughout a few different brand names and clothing styles, so I feel like it's probably a pretty good model for sewing. I don't sew, but I could imagine that you'd need an average and proportional model that you can stick pins in, and this lady is that!

Technically you could, yes. However there are a lot of other different kinds of braiding hair that may give you the look you want without the risk. I think you would really like "Ziggy" braid by Rastafri. We don't carry it on amazon yet but you could order it directly via email. Please email sales@doctoredlocks.com if you are interested in a photo of the Ziggy braid.

I would not want my hair braided with it, too frizzy and not easy to work with for braids. Works great for twist!

Bought it for my wife and she loves it. She says it is a good hair.Concerning the curl, she says she uses other techniques like the flexi rods and curlers at low temperature to keep the curl.She says she used it once and is yet to reuse it.Good luck.D

Hi, Human mannequin hair has been treated with a cleaning process and colored to match. Washing and deep conditioning followed with blow dry fluffs and revives hair. Hope this helps. Ann

It's a great choice. If she's curling or styling it might be okay as is, (if she doesn't mind it laying on its face.) If she plans on braiding or anything that will apply tension she'll need a stand, or someone to hold onto it.
