ABOUT PROJECT
This website was produced as a part of a class project. The course was INTE 5680 Producing Media for Learning, part of the Masters of Arts in Information and Learning Technologies at University of Colorado Denver.
The assignment was to create a mobile learning object teaching a concept or set of concepts. I chose to cover little girl hair styles as an exploratory exercise and to provide a quick reference for all the parents out there who have trouble in this area.

What you need to know to avoid hair disasters
TIPS
1. Use the detangler!!
2. Shampoo often, condition every time.
3. Brush starting at the ends and brushing towards the ends, moving towards the scalp as the tangles disappear.
4. Be gentle. Gurly scalps are sensitive!
5. Be realistic. Don't try something new 10 minutes before you need to leave for school.
6. Teach your daughter to do her own hair.
7. If you have a "messier" child, cut her hair shorter and give her bangs. No pony tails needed with this haircut.
C'mon Dad! It's not that bad.

TOOLS AND SUPPLIES
You Will Need These Tools and Supplies

This stuff is magical! A few sprays and your tangles are easy to get out with a brush or comb. You can find detangler at many pharmacies and grocery stores.

You'll want a comb to part the hair and get smooth lines.

Hair spray is not required to do hair, but it does hold the baby hairs from sticking out and makes hair-dos last longer.

Larger hair ties are best for thick or long hair. They tend to hold heavy pony tails and strong braids in place.

Hair clips are a good way to add style to a hair-do. These are classic and you can find them at many pharmacies or grocery stores.

You absolutely need a brush. A brush is required to smooth the hair and get all the tangles out.

These smaller hair ties can be best for very thin hair or young heads under 4 or 5 years old.
