Celebrity Bridgette Budget Cosmetology Human Hair Manikin, 16-17 Inch

I ordered this for a photography target. The hair feels/looks good. I cant say I have any experience working with long straight hair, (being a guy with 1" curly hair). It seems to brush easily enough. The Manikin head's "hole" seems to be undersized to fit on the little head stand I ordered at the same time. I dont know if this is common or not.

As a photography target, there are only a couple of complaints. The eyes look a little, well, eerie. I think I will have my sister in law, who is a cosmotologist, put some better eyebrows, and maybe fake lashes. It is also kind of a weird color, a little too yellow. Perhaps some makeup is required. It is so much easier to have a fixed subject that doesnt complain "Dad, Im tired of pictures". It is wonderful to check/practice lighting setups, where repetitive shots are required. The head seems a litle small to be representative of a real head. Check the customer image of it and my 6 year old daughter...

I dont know about the 16-17inch part of it, but the longest hairs I can measure are about 12".
