Which Testamodella® to Choose
Guide to choosing the ideal mannequin head
Choosing the right studio head is a crucial step for anyone who wants to practice and perfect their skills as a hairdresser and hairstylist. Whether you are a novice student or a seasoned professional, selecting the right head for your needs is critical. The decision depends primarily on the types of work you intend to perform: cutting, styling, color, bleaching, heat treatments and other specific treatments. Our head models, studio heads known for their high quality and durability, are designed to meet every training and professional need.

Styling
High temperature
All temperatures
For styling techniques requiring high temperatures, the 100% natural hair models are the best option as they are more resistant and versatile. You can work with tools such as a hairdryer, straightener or curling iron with confidence.

Don't forget that mannequins' hair are like human hair and should be treated with the same technique, temperature and care that you would apply on your own customer.

YAK HAIR
Caliven recommendation
Heads with protein, synthetic, or mixed hair are not suitable for this type of treatment.
Bleaching
Natural hair
We recommend using Testamodella®'s with 100% human hair for optimal results in bleaching. As a rule, light starting shades such as #7 (blond) and #634 (dark blond) are preferred, to avoid excessively long and potentially damaging exposure times for the head hair.
Choose a Head Model® with 100% natural hair color #4 (dark brown) only if you want to try your hand at advanced bleaching techniques.
Advanced Bleaching
Caliven recommendation
Do not forget that the hair in the heads has already been chemically treated and lightened. Heads with protein, synthetic or mixed hair are not suitable for this type of treatment.

The Testamodella® with 100% natural hair are the best option for experiencing treatments with intense heat. Processing with tools such as a blow dryer, straightener or curling iron can be carried out with confidence.
