My son used this when he was attending beauty school. The right side of the practice wig was used at school, so dates, numbers, names, etc. are written on it with a marker (the name has been erased with a marker). You can use it without any problems for cutting practice. On the contrary, you might be able to practice bold cuts and close shaves. Please purchase only if you understand that this is stored by an amateur. Please use it for barbers, beauticians, students, etc. who are practicing and want to do a lot of them. Instant purchase is OK.
