Mali | What exercises are suitable for using synthetic fiber hair models?

While synthetic hair mannequins cannot perfectly mimic real hair texture, they still have specific applications as beginner-level practice tools.

Synthetic hair mannequins are primarily suitable for basic haircutting practice, such as trimming bangs, creating layers, thinning, and trimming the ends. Because they are made of synthetic fibers, they are not heat-resistant and therefore should not be used for perming, dyeing, or heating with a flat iron/curling iron, as this can easily cause the hair to melt, char, or deform.

Suitable practice areas:

✂️ Basic cutting training: Practice cutting techniques at different angles and layers to develop a feel for the hair and symmetry.

✂️ Spot cutting and slide cutting: Improve the ability to control hair volume and handle texture.

✂️ Sectioning and parting practice: Familiarize yourself with standard parting methods (such as a 4/6 part, center part, and radial part).

✂️ Basic blow-drying and styling: Practice basic blow-drying direction and volume control with a comb (cool or low temperature airflow only).
