Hi Cameron,

The head tag is used for holding Meta information, title, links, etc. and is not displayed on the page. The header tag is used within the body of the website and can be used multiple times if required, e.g. to determine the top of an article.

Here's a link to info on the header tag.

This is the info on the head tag.

Hope that helps
