great for box braids [SEP] i was a little worried because the packaging was ripped when it came and this is the packaging that within the amazon package luckily all packs were there i was also worried because the hair looked really plastic y once i started using it though it was really easy to work with i ended up cutting the hair to make shorter box braids though because it was so long i would recommend ordering to cover your whole head i needed packs to do a full head of box braids
