Head blocks are BEST used for which purpose?

Displaying hairstyles
Practicing
Measuring hair
Storing tools

The correct answer is: Practicing

Head blocks are primarily used for practicing hairstyling techniques. They provide a simulated head and hair structure that allows cosmetology students and professionals to refine their skills, experiment with different styles, and practice cutting, coloring, and styling hair in a safe and controlled environment. By using head blocks, learners can build their confidence and technique without the pressure of working on real clients, which is essential for developing proficiency. While head blocks could theoretically display hairstyles, their main purpose is not for the exhibition of finished looks, and they aren’t suitable for measuring hair precisely or for the storage of tools. The main focus of working with head blocks is to provide a practical learning tool that helps in mastering various hair techniques.
