What should you pay attention to when purchasing a hairdressing head?
With a toys hairdressing head for your child, your toddler or toddler
- learn how to wash and care for the doll's hair,
- then to dry
- and make it a nice hairstyle, for example by braiding the hair nicely.
The most important thing is that the hair stays in place during brushing, does not fall out and that the hair is washable.
It is also important that the make-up is easy to remove.
The hooded head is also called a make-up doll or a hood doll, they are all names for the same thing toys:
a plastic head on which children can enjoy themselves as a real make-up artist or hairdresser.
There are also professional hairdressers to practice on for real hairdressers, but I will not go into that further.
Cap head for kids buying guide
What kind of hair does the hairdresser have?
It is important to choose a hairdresser that has hair that is easy to comb and will hold securely during combing and brushing.
Even if tails, braids and tangles have to be removed, it should not come loose, pay attention to this when purchasing.
A professional hairdresser
If your child is a bit older and still has a keen interest in makeup and creating hairstyles, a professional hairdresser may be more interesting to purchase.
These are often not even much more expensive than the toys hood heads, but the possibilities with the more professional hood heads are much more extensive.
For example, you can dye the hair as often as you want and treat it with a flat iron, without the hair falling out.
Real or fake hair?
Then there is the choice whether you want to purchase a haircut with fake or real hair. Fake hair is also often referred to as 'synthetic hair'.
Human hair can mean two different types of hair, namely human hair and natural hair. So natural hair is not human hair!
Natural hair usually comes from animals or is a combination of animal and human hair.
But which one do you buy for your child now?
One with synthetic, natural or human hair?
The answer to that depends on what exactly you want the child to do with the hair, and perhaps also the age of the child.
Most of the hood heads for kids are made of synthetic hair.
The advantage of human hair is that you can do things with it that you can do with real hair.
The result is therefore always closer to reality than with synthetic hair. Only synthetic hair is slightly cheaper.
Natural hair is in between these two in price. Basically you can use any hair type cut (from this age they can do it themselves!), so if it's mainly about that, it doesn't matter which type of hair you choose.
However, if you want to color or perm the hair, it is best to choose human hair.
Straightening or curling irons cannot be used on synthetic hair, they will melt.
In case you mainly want to purchase the hairdresser to have your child braided and let the hair up, human hair is also preferred.
Synthetic hair is possible, but often has a smooth structure so that the hairstyle does not always stay in place.
We think it is best to go for synthetic hair for the smaller children, and possibly purchase a doll with real hair at a later stage.

In addition to being a fun hobby, your child can further develop himself through experimentation thanks to the hairdresser.
The child may find out soon enough that he or she would like to pursue a career as a hairdresser or beautician.
By using a hood, the child does not harm anyone, because of course it experiments on a doll.
So no crying boyfriends or girlfriends whose hair is cut way too short!
There are many different hooded heads, available from various doll manufacturers such as Steffi, Barbie and Theo Klein who make very nice make-up dolls and/or hood heads that are really not that expensive.
How can you best comb the hair?
The best thing to use is a (round) brush or an old comb. You can count on the comb to lose 'teeth' in this process.
It is best to start combing at the bottom and pick up a piece each time.
It may take a while, but when you see the knots disappear, that is nice and stimulates you to continue. With combing you will lose some of the hair.
If it is frizzy at the bottom, you can trim the hair a little with sharp scissors.
After this treatment you can braid the hair again (this prevents frizz) or curl it well.
How should you care for the hair of the make-up doll?
How do you care for the doll's hair if it gets ugly over time?
The hair of a hairdresser often becomes dull over time and can become tangled.
But there is good news, because with just a small beauty treatment, the hair will look as good as new again in a short time!
We are going to detangle the hair first and then let it shine again.
- Use fabric softener (without color, otherwise lighter hair will take on the color of the fabric softener) or opt for conditioner.
- Start by rubbing in the hair and leave it on for half an hour to an hour, then rinse well and let the hair dry for an hour.
- The hairs of the hairdresser are now soft again and you can easily comb it through again.
Make curls on the haircut head
There are tutorials where you can learn how to treat a hairdresser's hair with a low-temperature flat iron to get curls, but be careful not to let the hair melt and turn into a large clump.
Toys hair is made of flammable nylon. You can use curlers and leave it overnight.
The next day, carefully remove the curlers and the hairdresser has beautiful shiny curls again!
If you have a professional hairdresser with real hair, you can of course use the straightener, but always look for tips or tutorials on the internet before you do this!
This video shows how to make curls on the Bayer Super Model doll from our list:
Conclusion
Any young hairdresser or hairdresser to be will love a make-up doll with beautiful long locks.
A practice head is so much fun because your child can test everything in terms of hair and make-up.
Children can try anything without damaging their own hair and covering their own face.
With a haircut it is like trying a nice haircut on a real person.
The hair can be put up nicely, there can be practiced (also by the mothers!) In making intricate braids or accessories such as beads can be used in the hair.
It is all possible with a hood. This is ideal for any boy or girl with creative hair and makeup ideas!
