Intro

Black hair is the super curly hair found naturally on most Black people, as well as other races. It is difficult to define what is a Black person, and I will leave that up to self-definition. The author of this hair design document considers herself Black. The following outline for a website is primarily concerned with the super curly hair that exists on Black people due to the racialized society that we live in.

The super curly hair is sometimes referred to as kinky, nappy, or coily. For this document the hair will be described as super curly.

When one combs natural Black hair it has to be parted and put it into sections. Then, a wide tooth comb is used to prepare it for a style. This is what I have done with this hair design document, I have put it into sections and tried to comb through all the necessary elements to create hair web design.

As the author is in an on-going search for the perfect hair design, this design document is also an outline for an ideal hair web design. It includes references to video and sound being part of the web. This might not be possible in the final cut.

Black hair is the most fragile and versatile texture in the world.This has made my hair journey an interesting one from being natural as a child to permed in my teen years with good and bad hair days that brought about emotions and experiences that lay down deep in the soul. A black woman can never escape her personal hair struggles unless she makes peace with it and works with her hair in tune with nature....thankfully going natural has definitley lead me to this path :) Donna: Tell me about your website? Zhara: It's actually more of a community of support and motivation more than a personal website per se. I joined a community online photo blog called fotki.com to document my personal hair journey among thousands of other
