- As per the headline in Question #1, was the headline representative of the article? Please explain your reasoning in detail. (4 Marks)
Yes, this headline was representative of the article. It clearly defines the 12 tips for healthier hair habits in your routine. Each tip is numbered and in a larger, bolded text compared to the body copy, which makes it easy to read and see what the tip is. The article addresses the problems women tend to have with their hair and the type of damage, like dullness, thinning, dryness, breakage, and frizz. Then, the article goes right into the tips with a small paragraph of context that explains what they should be doing, why the tip is beneficial and what it can do to help. If there are tips that suggest things like using conditioner, a hair mask, key ingredients, and what they should be sleeping on, the article provides readers with visual pictures of products that are recommended along with prices and a link to the website they can be purchased from. For example, tip number 10 – “Sleep on silk,” tells readers that silk is better for your hair than cotton pillowcases, under the copy are four different silk pillowcases recommended with the Amazon links for each. This is super helpful and makes it even better for readers because they are being given the exact products they can look for without having to leave the article and search for something since the information of products is all in one place for them. The headline is simple and straight to the point, and that’s exactly what the article was like to read. I was able to easily identify the “12 Healthy Hair Habits” and understand why I should adopt them into my routine based on the benefits and steps given to me within each tip.
