I think that creating a forum where people can post their ideas and views will be really good. We could as the lecturer how to implement a forum and if it is possible when we return to uni.
Also i think we missed something really important when we were deciding what to put on our site. I tried to create it on the pages that i was working on but i didn't have enough space, therefore i will discuss it with you guys and see if we can create some space and put them on the site.
With the pages that we are creating individually, i don't think it should be final because we have created them by ourselves. We should be able to come together as a group after we have finished the pages so that everyone give their on what they think each person has created, and if we have to make changes to them, we can do just that. This is because we are working as group and the tutor will mark us as a group in respect to the site. The mark will affect all of us if things were not right on others page and left it as it was because they created it, we should be able to input into each other's page in order to get a good grade as a group. That is teamwork.

washing hair
I did a video the other day washing my hair extensions. It don't look too proffessional as i did it myself, however, the whole purpose of our how to video's is to let people know how to care for their hair at home. Therefore, Dorcas if you need an idea for the how to video's, maybe you should make your own video of washing your hair? Just a suggestion, bring it in and we can see it. Thanks
project
I have been looking at some of these forums and find that this is very useful for helping us with the different types of hair care routines and regimes people do. Maybe, if we have time we should create a forum page where anyone could post on? I dunno, if it's possible that will be cool. Take a look:http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=6
Hi Dorcas and Castell
I have changed the front page slightly and made the morphing images morph abit more smoothly, i also changed a few words in the text because some parts didn't make sense when read aloud. Anyway i'm just working on the Hair care tips button. Just to let you know, because we are not there to see each others pages that we are working on, it may all be a bit different. Not to worry, as long as we let the teacher know what pages we did and how we did it, i'm sure that should be okay.

CONDITIONERS
For some reason i couldn't publish the post when i added the conditioners with the shampoos.
Here are therefore the Conditioners:
Leave In (thermal) conditioners help to coat the hair before direct heat is applied to the hair shaft. It serves as a buffer between the hair and the heat.
Protein conditioners provide strength, and help to reconstruct damaged hair.
Stimulating conditioners help moisturize hair and help revise the scalp, a must for those with dry scalp problems.

EDUCATION ON SHAMPOOS AND CONDITIONERS
Using the Right Hair Shampoo and Conditioner
When it comes to shampooing and conditioning the hair, the right shampoo and conditioner must be used because getting these two products wrong will affect the healthy growth of the hair. This is because different types of shampoos and conditioners have been made for certain conditions of the hair. By this I mean different shampoos and conditioners are needed when the hair is in a certain condition such as washing after relaxing the hair, washing though the hair has not been relaxed and also washing re-growth hair without relaxing.
All these different hair conditions requires different shampoos and conditioners because though a particular one may be useful for a hair condition, the same one may not be good for another. All the different shampoos and conditioners have different purposes and usage.
For example if your hair is dry and want to prevent dryness, breakages and frizz, you will be looking for moisturising shampoo which provides moisture to hair and not quick drying shampoo that help speed drying effect. Therefore choosing right shampoo and conditioner is very vital in ensuring healthy growth of the hair. Choose the wrong ones and you are doomed. Below are the different ranges of shampoos and conditioners and what they to the hair, to help the user choose the right one when deciding to wash the hair.
SHAMPOOS
Medicated shampoos
are used to rid the hair of dandruff. These shampoos usually have ingredients that help clean the hair and rid the scalp of dandruff.
Thickening shampoos
swell the hair shaft and makes it appear thicker, and fuller. At the same time, these shampoos help provide strength to the hair.
Moisturizing shampoos
provide moisture to the hair, helping to prevent dryness, breakage, and frizz.
Quick drying shampoos
are mainly used to help speed up the drying effect. This shampoo is mainly used on clients that air dry their hair, and are always in a rush.
Clarifying shampoos
rid the hair of impurities. Any medication, drugs, ect in your hair will vanish with clarifying shampoos.
Color Enhancing shampoos
keep your color (or highlights ) looking great between appointments. They also provide moisture for the hair, to prevent dryness, and breakage, and at the same time they help to keep your haircolor from fading as fast.

PROJECT IDEAS
Since we forgot to post the main ideas behind our project, decided to write something small on it so that people will know where our ideas came from.
PROJECT: Designing an interactive website on the subject e-learning. On the subject of e-learning, we decided to create a Hair website that we have given the 'Fair Hair Care'
IDEAS
Why a hair website?
As all the members of our group are from an Afro-Carribbean or African decent, we had one thing in common and that was our hair. Our hair differentiate us from Western people as the nature and texture of our hair is different. The hair is the pride and glory of people from this these race which therefore means that their hair is very important to them, and with that in mind, significant care maximum attention must be given to it.
People Afro-Carribbean and African decent has also experienced all sorts of hair disasters and catastrophe due to lack of information that will educate and teach them about the different kinds of products that are out there with details of the ones that are suitable for their hair. Also there is lack of educative information on how to grow healthy black hair while maintaining a healthy lifestyle
Our aim therefore was to design an interactive website with information, teachable videos and tips that will educate our audience on how to grow healthy black hair and thereby reduce hair disasters.

Shampooing hair
The biggest problem with afro/carribbean textured hair is the lack of washing the hair and keeping the scalp clean. Hair is prone to damage down to excessive treatment, even down to the way we dry our hair, this has an effect on the strands. What people don't know is that hair needs to be washed at least once a week to allow the scalp to be free from oil build up and free for healthy new growth to push through.
Treating the hair with care while washing and drying is essential and here are some tips:
If you have hair 1-5 inches long make sure to shampoo and condition the hair without manipulating the scalp too much (this can cause breakage). Make sure to towel blot the hair making sure not to harshly rub the hair as this also ruins the hair strands. To take out any knots use fingers and then along with a hair strengthener and your favourite oil product, comb the hair with a wide tooth comb. Air drying the hair is the best way to seal in moisture and is also the natural way decreasing the damaging effect from un-natural heat drying.
With hair longer than 5 inches the best way to tackle the hair without the hair shedding is to do chunky plaits in the hair prior to washing it. Mix about 2 cap-fulls of shampoo to a bowl of warm water and stir. In the shower or bath, pour the diluted shampoo on the plaits, shampoo the hair by squeezing the plaits and rinse the hair by pouring clean water and squeezing the plaits (make sure not to manipulate the scalp while washing as this leads to breakage). While the plaits are still in, apply a conditioner to the hair, this will untangle the hair leaving it easier to comb through. Take each plait out at a time and comb the hair through, rinse the hair making sure to re-do the hair after each individual plait. When all plaits have been taken out, combed, rinsed and re-plaited, take out all the plaits. Apply a hair strengthener along with your favourite oil product and then comb the hair with a wide tooth comb, Air drying the hair is the best way to seal in moisture and is also the natural way decreasing the damaging effect from un-natural heat drying.
