PROPOSAL AND INTERACTIVE SITE CONCERN
Hi Castal,
Sorry if i spelt your name wrong. I don't hear from you guys. You said that you will write the proposal and then send it to us to make corrections and add to it but i haven't received anything or heard from you. Therefore i am not sure whether you have written it or not. Anyway, i am going to write it and i will like for us to meet 2morrow so that i can show it to you and if there is anything you want to add you can add to it. Please let me know if you can make it or not.
I also posted some information that we could use for our interactive website and wanted you guys to have a look and tell me what you thought of it and whether they were useful for our site. In addition i found some sites which i posted because they had some useful information which i thought could be of benefit to us and also implement it on the site.
However, i haven't heard anything from you guys and you have not replied to anything that i have posted on the blogg. Also we have not sat down and really discuss anything concerning our website and how we are going to go about things. Time is running really fast and we need to start gathering materials and putting stuff together if we want to finish on time and have a brilliant site.
Can you please get back to me please? Hope to hear from you soon if not then i will see you all on Monday or Tuesday.
Thank you.

a fascinating website
Hi guys,
While researching for more information on hair, i came across one website which i found very interesting and it gives quite an unusual and contrasting information on how to grow healthy hair which most of the hair websites haven't higlighted. It emphasise on the fact that growing a healthy hair does not necessarily mean spending all of one's money on hair products.
However eating the right balance diet with the right nutrients and minerals which are needed for healthy hair growth will allow the hair to grow beautifully. The eating of the right balance diet has to be done in conjunction with exercising as they all enhance the growth of a healthy hair.
This site is very interesting and i was blown by all the details they gave in specifying the minerals and nutirents needed for healthy hair while also explaining their effect and signifance in growing healthy hair. I don't want to go on and on about it, you should take a look and and tell me what you think about.
I was thinking that we could take some of their information as it is different and add it to our interactive website as it will make it interesting. Anyway just let me know what you think about it.

washing and treating the hair
Their are different ways of washing and treating the hair. To find out what is best for you, i will add a few different approaches to the process of washing and treating. I have tried almost everything and am now trying out a new approach.
Firstly my approach:
1. Currently i'm washing the hair with organic route stimulator shampoo (aloe creme). Making sure to massage the product in the hair once then rinse, then a second time then rinse thourougly.
2. I towel dry the hair then massage a small amount of product in the hair (I'm currently using a leave in treatment by RedKen called all soft and comes in a gold bottle)
3. I then apply leave in conditioner by Kera care all over the hair, comb it back and tie a scarf (with airholes) around the head. I sit under the dryer for 20 minutes (Time varies according to the length and thickness of the hair)
4. When the hair is dry i use a bristle brush and a hand held blow dryer to straghten out the hair (As my hair is now natural, it does not stay straight after coming out of the hair dryer).
5. My hair is now straight, but does not appear too silky. I then use Kera care -silken seal serum and apply to the hair (making sure to apply an even coverage)
6. I part the hair into sections and straigten the hair (going over the sections once or twice is enough, also making sure not to leave the hot straighteners on one part of the hair for more than two seconds)
7. The hair is now soft and silky, i may finally apply a light grease (Currently i'm using Kera care-dry and itchy scalp oil) to the scalp making sure to part the hair in big partens so the hair does not feel or appear too greasy.
This is the procedure of washing and condtioning the hair, however i do this for one week, the next week i only apply a deep condtioner to the hair (NOTHING ELSE!)
Procedure:
1. I am currently using LeKare cholesterol. I spread the conditioner evenly over the hair, i then put a shower cap over the hair for 20-30 minutes
2. I rinse the conditioner out thourougly, hair now feels softer.
3. I towel dry the hair and then repeat the steps from 3-7 (above).
I alternate the process of washing and using a leave in conditioner, and deep conditioning the hair on a weekly basis. At the end it turns out that i shampoo the hair once every two week and deep condition the hair once every two weeks.
Other approaches may include washing and deep conditioning the hair at the same time.
The approach:
1. Wash the hair with a product that suits you or a product that may be recommended to you from a proffessional stylist
2. Towel dry the hair and then add a reasonable amount of deep conditioner in the hair.
3. Cover hair with a plastic cap (shower cap) and go under the steamer, wrap a hot wet towel around the head or leave to settle on the head for 20-30 minutes.
4. Rinse out the product then proceed with styling (Look at steps 3-7 above)
Another approach:
1. Apply a deep conditioner to dry unwashed hair, cover hair with plastic cap and leave to sit for 20-30 minutes under steamer, with a hot wet towel around the head or just like that.
2. Rinse out the conditioner then apply shampoo at least twice and rinse thoroughly.
3. Apply a leave-in conditioner to the hair.
4. Proceed with styling (Look at steps 3-7 above)
If you do not wish to straighten the hair or apply heat, skip the steps 3-6 and after washing use a light moisturiser, this enables the hair to dry feeling soft.

healthy hair care tips
1. Wash hair every 7-10 days (This allows time for hair to develop it's natural oils so the hair would not become too dry. Also, frequent washes allows the scalp to remain clean without oil build up, this allows hair to push through effectively).
2. Choose the right products for your hair making sure not to use too many at a time. eg. try out a product for at least 4-6 weeks to notice the effects on the hair.
3. For afro/carribean hair, deep condition the hair at least every 2 weeks. This allows the hair to remain healthy and strong, decreasing the chances of breakage.
4. Drink plenty of water to promote shine in the hair. Eat healthy foods containing protein and iron, this also creates shine and promotes healthy new growth.
5. Decrease the amount of heat to the hair. If heat is applied, make sure to use an effective serum or heat spray to protect the hair strands from becoming weak or split.
6. Ensure to air-dry the hair after washing, at least 50% of drying time before using direct heat. Or alternatively use a hooded dryer. (As the hair is at it's weakest when wet, direct heat may stretch the hair making it become weaker).
7. Try not to use too many heavy oils on the scalp, as this clogs up the scalp making it hard for hair under to push out effectively.
8. In the winter, be sure to mask the hair with a light oil (this could be hair spray or a light moisturiser) as the hair becomes dry, enabeling it to become more prone to breakage and damage.
9. Ensure to wash the hair thouroughly after swimming. As chlorine is dangerous for the hair, being mixed with certain chemicals could damage hair severely.
10. Make sure to trim the ends of the hair every 6-8 weeks for relax treated hair, or every 8-12 weeks for natural hair (This allows the hair to appear even and grow healthy).
