I learnt on another thread that spraying on a decent coat of hairspray and let it dry before painting makes it soooooooo much easier to wash off! Try it, I promise it works.

I am gonna try this... thanks for the tips!

Judy wrote:$16 BUCKS!! I paid $50 for mine. She stains to so I'm still experimenting what to use to clean her up. She has really bad eyes too.... I never painted them lol.

My step daughters call her FREAKY FREIDA! lol

Great to scare the other half when he's in the shower though!!

Me too!sniff sniff!! I paid $50 ! but now love wimexbeauty.com!

To wash DFX black off mannequin face use Goo Gone Extreme.
Warning: it will remove her eyes too, but it gets the stains.
P.S. I gave my head a buzz haircut to get rid of the pesky hair. Lol
Would post a pix but can't figure out how from iPhone.

I think the ProKnows Practice Head is the easiest to work with. The texture allows for better strokework practice and you get a flat side too. Also the easiest to clean. That said I use my Mehron Practice Head most often simply because after more than 10 yrs it's juts always there. I did get a free head and gave away another free head at FABAConvention in Las Vegas last year. There was a big lot of head used by stylists available for participants.

The best practice head is one you can get your hands on - and really the one you use.

For those you think that $25 or $50 is too much for a head - do the math.
My first head has been less than 4 cents a week in the long run.
