## Usage
The `useHead` composable allows you to manage your head tags in a programmatic and reactive way, powered by [Unhead](https://unhead.unjs.io). It lets you customize the meta tags, links, scripts, and other elements in the `` section of your HTML document.
```vue [app/app.vue]
```

::
::note
The properties of `useHead` can be dynamic, accepting `ref`, `computed` and `reactive` properties. The `meta` parameter can also accept a function returning an object to make the entire object reactive.
