A Look at Mannequin Heads
A mannequin head is a life-size head that includes all of the features of a human face. Mannequin heads can be used in several different situations. They can be used to model hats, wigs, makeup, or be used as practice dummies by people learning to cut hair in beauty school. Mannequin heads can be made to look like all types of people and are built to scale, giving them a lifelike look that is almost eerie. Mannequin heads are usually made of foam, plastic, or vinyl.
Mannequin heads are often used in stores to model hats. It is much easier and more efficient to use a mannequin head rather than an entire life-size mannequin to display a hat. Stores can set up displays that include several mannequin heads on spaces as small as a table. Stores can use nearly any kind of mannequin head to display hats, they do not necessarily have to be colored or have hair, but they can to give shoppers a better look of how the hats will look on a real person.

Disposable Chef Hats
Initially, chef hats were made of stiff starched cloth that was pleated as per tradition. These tended to become limp and worn as time passes due to the frequent washes they are subjected to. Also, it was a long and tiring process to ensure that the pleats were all in place and the hat is stiff enough so as not to sag on the chef's head. Starch was a necessary ingredient to keep the hat up and smart looking.
An excellent alternative to all the process of washing, starching and ironing the chef's hat came up in the recent years.
This was to use paper hats instead of cloth hats. Paper hats that are fiber constructed and so are stiff and formal looking; they can be replaced every few days as the hats start to sag or become dirty due to sweat and splatters that occur every so often in the kitchens.
Also, the paper hats are cost-effective as compared to the cloth variety. Disposable varieties are the in-thing with today's chefs. They are easy to use and...

Chef's hats go back a long way, as long as the early 16th century.
Although popular fables exist as to how the hat exactly came into picture, it is certainly to hold the hair back while cooking.
