MORE THAN JUST AN AD:RESEARCH

This is a hair ad by Pantene for black women hair.  

The reason why I used this hair ad is because it is relatable. This is because my hair is not the typical hair shown in all these adverts. 


My hair is VERY hard to comb,it gets tangled, it gets dry easily, it's very sensitive, it shrinks. you have to invest time, money, energy and be prepared for a lot of pain.it needs more attention than the typical hair. however, I don't see adverts on my hair type showing instant fixes or easy way out or tips and tricks. 

Most hair company adverts mainly focus on specific hair type and texture and I think it's unfair. 

Hair ads should give you hope that your hair can be better and your hair can be the way you want. yet most hair companies have totally ignored the fact that not all hair is the same.
I am very happy that there are hair companies like this.

The hair is the richest ornament of women.-Martin Luther

  1. This is a good insight into hair and it is true that adverts usually are white women with different hair to your own - it would have been even better if you had added more research to show that you had looked into this further here is an example - https://www.stylist.co.uk/beauty/this-powerful-ad-campaign-puts-afro-hair-in-the-spotlight/209305

INDOMIE: INDONESIAN NOODLES (project sample)

Most times when I cook I always take pictures to show the process and the transformation process of foods. I like to know how dishes are made, the origin and what it is made of. I think this is very important because a lot of people are not aware of what their food contains. These pictures were taken weeks ago and I am posting them because I really like Indomie and for a long time, I taught they were introduced firstly in Nigeria but it is Indonesian born.                                                                                     I boiled the noodles in the sachets to make them edible and I boiled the egg. Indomie noodles come with sachet seasonings. when the Indomie was soft enough to my preference, I added the seasonings and red pepper then mixed it all up .t...

Reflection|Goodbye

Looking back at the work I did this term, I think that I have improved in my writing skills.I noticed that I have a problem with my punctuation which was something I never really paid attention to until this project. I also gained more understanding about my self in terms of the type of student i am.From this project, i  know that in my continuation route I would prefer to write exams than essays if i am given the choice.This is obvious due to my constant failures to update my blog regularly.Coming from a background where all the assignments given are short-term ,it was quite difficult for me adapt to the continuous updating of the blogs.This goes for my essays as well,in the first two terms the reason why i never finished my essays on time was because i was so used to writing essays during exams or over the weekend. so it was different for me. I think if there i had to chance to re-do some aspect of this project,i will carry out primary research on asking Leicester Market Trad...
