Preventing Hair breakage and shedding
I love this mannequin!!!! I didn’t buy it to practice braiding. I wanted an one with a courser hair texture. I got no shedding with this head. I am a professional cosmetologist so I know how to care for mannequins. Here are some tips to prevent hair breakage and shedding. Always comb the hair from the ends to the roots. Use some type of oil on the hair bc it is human hair. Most hair would naturally have hair oils. Shampoo and deep condition the hair when you get it. I would recommend a hair mayonnaise or cholesterol. You even use regular mayonnaise that you eat. Keep the hair straight when you are shampooing it. If it gets tangled it will be very difficult to untangle and you will get a lot of breakage. Deep condition by applying the conditioner and putting a plastic cap on it. Let it sit for about 2 hours or longer if you have time. You only need to deep condition like this the first time. It will soften the hair and make it more manageable. Afterwards, you can shampoo and condition the regular way. Let the hair air dry or you can blow dry on medium heat. I hope this helps. I have four mannequins and I have never gotten breakage or shedding.
