Recap...Women's Hair Night

We hope everyone had fun at hair night and learned some new ideas and tips!


Kelli taught us the 7 different face shapes: Oval (ideal), square, oblong, heart, triangle, round, and diamond. Which are you?


We also learned about different kinds of brushes and what types of hair you would use them on.


Last we learned curling iron techniques. Tiffany Lee was visiting and she was Kelli's model! (It was so fun to see her, we miss you Tiffany!)

April and Michelle figure out what face shapes they have.

Catching up... family history and summer carnival!
