Review (4/5): Hair is lovely and reverts back after washing it!
I was pleased that her hair reverted back after I washed it. It's great to finally see more and more cosmetology mannequins with African textured hair that actually reverts back to its coily texture after you wash it. So often in the past, sellers would advertise cosmetology mannequins as having afro hair, then you washed it and the coil pattern was completely gone. The money I lost trying to find a real African textured cosmetology mannequin back in the day, was unbelievable!
A few things to note.....While washing her hair there was tons of shedding. I've come to realize this is quite normal. However, after the washing is said and done, the shedding is minimal. Thank goodness because there are cosmetology mannequins where the shedding continues in massive balls even after washing.
The ends are thin and stringy and that's where I'll take a one star deduction. She'll be gettin a good trim here soon, but I definitely recommend her. I'd say her hair is in the 3b/3c range? I could be off about that because I'm still a bit shaky on the hair typing system. Either way, you'll definitely be satisfied with your purchase.
I've attached pictures of before washing her hair, after washing her hair and what her hair looks like after I dried it and dry combed it. Lovely soft hair. I almost didn't wanna ruin the rod set because it was so cute but I always wash the hair of any cosmetology mannequin I buy, right outta the box.
