My personal Rating-

This is a pretty fun book! I have very, very fine hair, which I already knew, but their test is to roll a single strand between your fingers and if you can barely feel it, you have fine hair. I got up to four strands of my hair before I could barely feel it. So, super fine hair. ;)

I personally didn’t learn anything new, but I can see girls ages 11-15 loving this book and it’s how-to’s. :)

See y’all on Friday with a new review!

My personal Rating-

(and a half)

{If the girl is in public school, add 2-3 stars}

I know, I know, detailed much, Lindsey? See, though, there’s not really an age target for this book—which makes it much harder and I have to write every little thing! I’m not sure if Zonderkidz had these pictures taken for this book or found them online—the girls pictured can look anywhere from 10-18 and many look photoshopped. (I’m a photographer, I notice these things.) Some have quite a bit of make-up on and some have clothes on that some families won’t want their girls seeing/reading. So, just a small warning to families! 

(Oh! But the recipe for the Vegan Chocolate Cake is delicious! I've made it twice already! :) )
