+
+### Head
+
+`_includes/head/custom.html` is included at the end of the `<head>` tag. An example use of this include is to add custom CSS per page:
+
+Add some Liquid tags for the new configuration to `_includes/head/custom.html`.

+  {% for stylesheet in page.page_css %}

+  {% endfor %}

+```{% endraw %}
+
+Next, add `page_css` to any page's YAML Front Matter to have your CSS loaded for that page.
+```yaml

+  - /path/to/your/custom.css
