not for thinner hair [SEP] i loved the idea of this product but it is not easy to do yourself with that said i think some more practice will yield faster results however i had to use a large amount of gel intense hairspray to hold my hair in the clip i have typical fine blonde hair and it would not even hold in the little clips sections without gel think prepping for a gymnastics competition where not a single hair will budge to have the large clip stay in position i put that section of hair in a ponytail holder first the results looked awesome but it was awful to get the hair products out afterward definitely made for thicker hair
