Another stunning edition from barbie.As a child I would of absolutely loved this. I was fond of styling hair, I still am now and let me admit I had plenty of fun testing the hair products on this barbie!This adorable barbie has long blonde, thick, thigh length hair.She sports a rarr rarr dress which is yellow and netted at the top and then a layered skirt made up of orange, light pink and dark pink.To finish off her look she has bright pink chunky heels with a cute little design on the back.This comes with a hairbrush, a hair curler, 3 hair rollers, 2 triple loveheart hair clips, 3 elastic bands in the colours of pink, yellow and see through and of course a beautiful gold beaded headband.I used this as a type of festival look as it sits perfectly on the forehead or in the centre of the head.Easy peasy to use the hair curler, hold the button down to open it and wrap the piece of hair around the pole bit. Try and keep the hair flat as you do this as it creates a prettier curl. For messy curls keep it thick and wrapped quickly. It doesn't stay fully shut so pinch the end before you leave it to hang.The rollers are easy too. Unhook the top, wrap the hair around the pole, again trying to keep it flattish, and put the hook back on. This contains the hair very well and I think these are the best ones.The hair curler and hair rollers actually work! Within seconds the hair is curled.Personally I prefer the rollers as they create a more perfect curl as opposed to the hair curler which leaves a bend at the base of the curl.The loveheart hair clips arent so great. They come straight originally and you bend them and clip in place, they tend to unclip and ping across the room! I'm hoping after a little time and persistence they will stay.I think it's amazing how this works. I'm guessing there is some product in the hair or something that helps it curl.Now the only issue is, on the packaging it shows curls all through the hair, as I tried to attempt this, the front curls loosened and eventually dropped out before I had time to get around. I attempted to leave the curler and rollers in for longer and they did stay a little longer but not long enough to do the whole hair. My solution to this is dont do skinny curls, keep it chunky..ish and then you will have time to get around the whole head. Also allow a couple of minutes before you unclip maybe.I would definitely recommend, I absolutely love the way barbie is presented. The hair is just like I remember it to be! I love how it works. I think kids would love this. So many hours of fun here. Plus another stunning barbie for the collection.

My granddaughter loves anything Barbie related and this superb set is just the gift for her and I'm sure any Barbie fan would be thrilled to find this in their Christmas stocking or under the Christmas tree.This set includes a full size Barbie doll in a cute outfit complete with a colourful dress with layered skirt, a golden bangle and pink platform shoes. It also comes with curling tongs, three rollers, a brush, hair ties, clips and headband.This set is fully interactive and has lots of playability. Barbie's luxurious long hair can be styled in many different ways using the tools and accessories supplied.My granddaughter (four years of age)and I had loads of fun changing the Barbie dolls hair styles and clothes (we already had a good stock of Barbie clothes). I don't think my granddaughter would be able to style Barbie's hair by herself without adult assistance, so this set is probably more suited to an older child.As expected all items are of a decent quality, pretty and very colourful. My only reservation is that this particular Barbie doll is not very poseable and one of her arms is bent at the elbow making it a little harder to change her clothes.All in all this is a lovely fun Barbie playset and it's not too bad a price either.

We have the blond version of this doll and I must say I am impressed.Firstly she is relatively well made and has thick hair which both of my daughters enjoyed playing with this evening. A few more recent Barbies have been experiencing hair quality issues (bald patches etc.) so this was a really pleasant suprise. I had assumed that the hair curling accessories would be a gimmick given that no heat is involved but again I was wrong, we managed to make her hair wavy with the curling tongs and after leaving the rollers in for a while Barbie had curly hair. The curls then brushed out and she was ready to be styled again.We did find that when we left Barbie with curled hair whilst we had dinner the curls were much looser when we returned so I do think that the curls will drop over time even if not brushed.I always loved styling my barbies hair when I was a little girl and I can see already that my two girls are going to have so much fun styling this ones hair. My elder daughter also commented that she found this dolls hair easier to plait than her other barbie dolls, I am not sure what they have put in the hair of this doll but it works!

Having two daughters and having countless Barbie's, but only one with long hair, this is an issue! Whilst the eldest styles her hair to perfection and gets her looking spot on, along comes the youngest and pretty soon Barbie is looking like she's been dragged through a hedge backwards! All the equipment you get here works to an extent and I cannot fault it. Ok some of the slides pop out, but I am sure most girls will just use their own stuff, which is always an option. Until the hair starts looking like straw.The set itself is superb, you get one Barbie (with extra long Rapunzel type hair kitted out with dress and shoes), a hairbrush, hair curler, 3 x hair rollers (pink, yellow and orange),2 hair clips, 3 hair bands and a dapper gold headband.As far as Barbie's go, this is one of the more interactive better ones, so therefore I fully recommend it, even if a tad more expensive.If you found this review useful then please click the helpful button below, and be sure to check out our other reviews of products you may also consider purchasing from Amazon.

Just to start by saying that I got this for my 3 year old without realising that the box says suitable for age 5+, so if you're thinking about getting this for a younger child be mindful that the pieces it comes with are tiny and a bit fiddly for small hands to use. I gave it to my 6 year old neice (my 3 year old didn't have much interest beyond brushing the dolls hair anyway) and she was thrilled, the highlight being the super cute mini curling iron. If your child is into playing hairdressers with their dolls then this will be very well received. The doll has longer than usual hair which can be styled using a variety of accessories such as curlers, hair ties,bands etc.It took my niece a bit of practice to get the hang of; patience is needed as the hair doesn't always curl on the first go, some curls work better than others, some stay in longer, some fall straight out. But overall there's a lot of fun to be had. This would make a nice gift for barbie fans!

You can’t really go wrong with a Barbie doll and this one is no exception. Comes attractively packaged (as you’d expect) so would make a fantastic gift. Traditional doll that is well build and has movable limbs. Comes with nice accessories that allow for hours of fun playing hairdresser. The hair is nice and thick so I imagine will be durable with all the hair playing it will get. Very surprised that the no-heat accessories do indeed work and curl the hair- certainly fun to watch. A touch more in price than other Barbie dolls I’ve recently ordered, however I still feel the price reflects what you get with this named brand so I’d still be of the mindset that this was a good value product.Perfect for any young person that’s in to dolls, or would make a fabulous addition to any existing collection. Happy to recommend.

This set contains a colourful Barbie, in a bright sundress, with long, golden hair, which falls much longer than the normal Barbie doll. She comes with several hair accessories, including a brush, hair clip, hair-band, curler and rollers.My daughter and niece love styling their dolls hair, so they were perfectly happy to test this out. On the plus side, the claims really work – use either the curler, or the rollers, and you will have a pretty good curl. The downside is that the style does not last. By the time you are on the third curl, the first is going flat. Still, that didn’t seem to bother my testers too much and the hair does stay slightly wavy for a while. It also means that you are constantly re-styling,so you don’t have to wait too long before you can start again.

This is a standard Barbie sized doll and it comes with an outfit as they usually do but this one is one that you can curl and style her hair. She comes with a number of hair accessories including a curling iron which works despite needing no heat or batteries which is quite clever.Little girls love playing with air and creating hairstyles. As a retired teacher, I remember girls in my classes over the years would sit behind each other and play with their hair while I read stories and things. This doll allows them to mess around with hair to their heart's delight and there is no danger at all as the curling tong uses no heat at all!!

We are a lover of Barbies in this house and there are many generations of us here so we were all waiting to see if the hair really would curl without heat..... I can honestly say that yes it did, if you leave the bits in for a little while even without any heat it curls which is then easy to brush out or leave and it will gradually drop to flat again ready for restyle.She is well made with a good thick shiny head of hair and simple classic barbie clothes. shes well packed without too much packaging and comes with a fair amount of accessories. shes great value and any child would love this for xmas i am sure.

We love the colourful summer dress. I also prefer the golden coloured curling iron and brush over their previous incarnations.Curling the dolls hair is easy to do but takes time to master. Just wrap some hair around the curling iron or curlers and wait for up to 10 seconds, depending on how tight curls you want. You can brush the curls straight out or just wait for them to settle out. Older owners may not like this lack of permanency, but our 6 year old enjoys the constant play.What I do not like is the excessive plastic packaging.

This is great for kids that like to style their doll's hair. M loves Barbie and after a phase of messing their hair up she then became interested in brushing their hair (I think Granny trained her well). Now she loves this as she can curl the hair with the tongs (no heat) or the hair curlers. The curls are temporary but that doesn't matter. There are also other hair accessories. Well made and a very pretty girl in brightly coloured clothes. M was happy and so were we.

she certainly looks the part. It is however a job that comes with responsibilities and that requires education and a caring attitude. I’m just not entirely sure she is up to it. Moreover as everybody is aware Barbie is drawn to fashion and glamour - I won't judge her on that One of my daughters favourite barbie sets, I got it whilst on offer so was a great price for what you get, gets played with a lot, very sturdy and lovely accessories

This Barbie has been paired up with the shaving Ken in our house and they make a gorgeous but rather vain couple with him shaving and her curling her hair. The 6 year old plays with it more than her 3 year old sister as it is quite fiddly to curl the hair but both love her and like to curl her hair then dress her up to go out in a ball dress!! She’s the usual Barbie quality and a good price. A favourite now in our harem of Barbies!

Another hair styler Barbie, in summery colours, the hair wands do curl, we've had these before in different colours, in the end the curler wands tend to brake as it's only together by a dot of plastic in a small hole so you can keep popping it back on but we tend to lose them and not bother!! But this Barbie comes with a gold brush, pink and gold curler, pink and yellow hair bands and peach coloured clips X2.

My daughter loves this- she can and does, spend hours curling the hair of her new toy. It’s wonderful how it doesn’t need heat but curls effortlessly and realistically. The accessories are lovely and the doll itself is a typical smiley and jolly Barbie. There’s nothing not to like about this at all and it’s reasonably priced- highly recommended ❤️
