Abstract: A hairdressing training headform has features simulating a face and neck of a human. A flexible scalp with hair has a peripheral lip. A vertex is configured to simulate an upper portion of a human skull and has a periphery with which the peripheral lip of the scalp engages when the flexible scalp is placed over the vertex. A releasable locking means remote from the vertex periphery biases the vertex toward the headform such that the peripheral lip of the scalp is sandwiched between the vertex periphery and the headform.

Abstract: A swivel base for use with a training aid having a top member and a bottom member, the top member for receiving a training aid and the bottom member for receiving a holder or stand. The top member is coupled to a ball bearing and a mounting member fixedly coupled to the bottom member is rotatably coupled to the ball bearing to allow the top member to rotate relative to the bottom member. A locking mechanism which has a locking pin coupled to the bottom member secures the top member in one or more stationary positions.

Abstract: This creation is a kind of appliance for haircut teaching. It mainly consists of hair wig (1) and head form (2). On the head form (2), there is a fixing part along hairline (3); on the hair wig (1), there is another fixing part (3) corresponding to the one on the head form. At the bottom of the head form, there is a support (4). When practicing, the hair wig (1) and the head form (2) will be connected together to be a complete mannequin. After practicing, the head form will still be remained for next use. The positive effect of this creation is: convenient to use, beneficial for resource economy and environmental protection, easy to produce and promote.

Abstract: A magnetic three-dimensional analysis system for use as a tool in the demonstration of hairdressing techniques by an instructor and to aid a student in learning and practicing such techniques. In one form, the system includes four magnetic grid head forms: a left profile grid head form, a right profile grid head form, a front section grid head form, and back section grid head form. The grid head forms have flat backs which are magnetized so they can be attached to a magnetic blackboard or metal sheet. The system also includes numerous flat magnetic or adhesive strips with pointed ends. The strips are cut to certain lengths and color coded to represent different hairdressing techniques. In a preferred embodiment, a grid head form is attached to a magnetic board and the flat magnetic strips are then attached to the board around the grid head form to both define cutting lines and show proper hair length for a plurality of prescribed hair styles.
