Black Female Display Head
This black female display head features a gloss finish with half closed eyes — the same facial structure and relaxed expression as the white version in this collection, rendered in a high-gloss black surface. At 19" tall with a 22" circumference and fiberglass construction, it is the dark-interior counterpart to the white head at the same $38 price point.

Gloss Black Finish: Built for Dark Interiors and High-Contrast Display
A gloss black display head suits retail environments that white heads do not. Dark wood interiors, industrial fixtures, matte black shelving, and high-contrast store aesthetics all call for a display head that integrates rather than clashes. A white head on a dark countertop becomes a competing visual element. A gloss black head on the same surface disappears into the environment in the right way — drawing attention to the hat, wig, or accessory on top rather than to the head itself.
Furthermore, the gloss finish reflects store lighting from a black surface, which keeps the head visible without the starkness of a matte black alternative. In well-lit retail environments, the gloss black surface catches light at the same angles that the merchandise above it does — creating a cohesive, intentional display rather than a dull prop beneath a brightly lit hat.
Same Facial Structure as the White Head, Different Visual Impact
This black female display head shares the same half closed eyes, 19" height, 22" circumference, and fiberglass construction as the white version in this collection. The gloss black finish is the only difference. Consequently, retailers who need both a white and a black head for different display positions or countertop zones can use the two interchangeably for sizing and hat fit — only the visual impact changes.
The half closed eyes on this head give it the same calm, relaxed expression as the white version. That expression works across all accessory categories. Specifically, it suits wigs and headwear that carry a relaxed, lifestyle quality — a composed expression frames those products more naturally than a rigid wide-eyed look.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the finish on this black female display head?
This head has a gloss black finish. The high-gloss surface reflects store lighting, keeping the head visible even on dark countertops or shelving. It is not matte black. If a matte finish is needed, check the other display heads in this category for available options.
What size hats and wigs fit on this head?
At 22" circumference, this head fits standard adult hat sizes correctly. Most wigs and headwear sized for an average adult head sit properly without adjustment. The 19" height places the hat crown at a natural display height on any countertop position.
How does this head differ from the white female display head?
Both heads share the same dimensions, half closed eye detail, fiberglass construction, and $38 price. The finish is the only difference. Choose black for dark interiors, high-contrast aesthetics, and dark-hued merchandise where a black base integrates cleanly. Choose white for light interiors, neutral environments, and any merchandise where a light base avoids sharp contrast at the hat brim or wig hairline.
