Treatments and processing on a Testamodella®
Yes, Caliven mannequin heads with 100% natural hair are perfectly suitable for coloring. However, models with protein, synthetic or mixed hair are not suitable for this treatment. Before dyeing, a light decoloring wash is recommended. Dyeing times should not exceed 50 minutes, and the use of heat sources during the process is not recommended. Oxidation hair dyes and standard dyes can be used. To keep the color vibrant, a highlights can be applied.
A Caliven Testamodella® with 100% natural hair can be subjected to bleaching. For best results, we recommend starting with a base color of #7 (blonde) or #634 (dark blonde) to reduce application time. Remember that the hair has already been chemically treated and lightened so we suggest to take particular care in bleaching hair with color #8 or lighter blonde. In these case the bleach should be light and not longer than 30 minutes.
Testamodella®'s with 100% human hair are suitable for perm treatments. Before perming, it is important to consider that the hair may already be damaged or colored, so dosage and setting time should be reduced. It is recommended to use curlers that are larger than the desired target size and fast-fixing products. Testamodella®'s with protein or mixed hair are not suitable for perm treatments.
100% natural hair Testamodella® can be treated with curling irons or straighteners, observing proper application techniques and temperatures. For models with protein, synthetic or mixed hair, these tools should be used with extreme caution, avoiding temperatures above 180 degrees.
For hairstyles, the ideal choice falls on the Testamodella®'s with hair lengths of 40/50/60cm. It is also possible to combine the head with the appropriate shoulders to create a complete, show-stopping final look.
