great for beginners [SEP] this is not the best quality of hair so it makes it perfect for trying out on your head at home i had my daughter help me put these in we both watched videos and are still discussing the pros and cons now i am not sure how you are supposed to brush near your scalp with these in so i will need to watch a video for that too if i decide not to use them on my head then i will use them to make a wig for my bjd collectibles if i do use them on my hair after the tape has had its full life then i will find something to do with these they are going to be used one way or the other
