I do not understand all of the complaints with this toy. I really didn't have any problems with it. My 4 year old daughter saved up for a couple months to get the "horse head". After reading the reviews, I was concerned she was wasting her money, and would be dissapointed. She absolutely loves it though. We simply used a little ice pack to change the hair color (it's faster than filling the iron), and it worked fine...and the color held for quite a long while. My little girl enjoys using the iron, just as a hair straightener. It came with a number of pretty ponytail holders, and small clips (also jewels, crowns, a comb...and lip gloss). I showed her how the clips worked, and she now works them just fine. I did buy her a couple extra packs of hair clips to add in, but what styling head couldn't use more accessories? It's the same with any of them. This one's charm, seems to be that it's a horse, rather than simply another doll head. My little girl has had a ball fixing the hair, and making up stories while she does it. As a Mom, I like that it has a sturdy base, and doesn't fall over on her when she tries to put the decorations in the hair. If this is what your little girl wants, It should make her happy. It made my little girl happy. Isn't that the whole point?

My daughter saved her money up to get this since she 1st saw it a few months back. She is 6yrs. The hair barely changes colors and it takes extremely cold water to do it (we put an ice cube in ours). It also takes a long time to get it to change which is frustrating for her. I wouldn't recommend it. It isn't worth its price.

My 5-year old daughter begged us for this toy. We finally bought it for her only to find out it was a huge disapointment, to all of us.

This toy is an example of fabulous advertising applied to a low quality yet rather expensive product. The jewel decorations can be applied only once, only to later fall off. The hair color change requires ultra cold water, and more effort than it's worth. And there's no chance of the crown to fit any child's head.

I'm sure the steep price of the toy takes into consideration the vast number that will be returned.
