This barbie styling head looks great, but is difficult to achieve the same results as the picture unless you are a professional stylist. The water does not turn the hair a consistent color and the hair extensions get very ratty, very easily. I bought this for my 4 year old daughter and my 6 year old niece. Even with supervision, it was too hard for both . My 12 year old babysitter, had alot of luck , and did some great styles, but said she is too old for it. Buy Make -up Mindy or the barbie Talking styling head if you daughter is under 8.

This review is from: Barbie: Hip Highlights Styling Head - Barbie (Toy)

Unfortunately, my 4 year old daughter is a huge Barbie fan. I have no objections, other than the fact that most of the products are junk: too many little pieces made of junk plastic that either constantly fall apart or break. No difference with this product. To start, the head does not come on a base so it was tipping over the second my daughter put a brush on her hair. Secondly, the barrets and clips that came with it broke immediately and I had to give her some of her own to use. Thirdly and probably most significantly,like any other Barbie doll, the hair was combable only for the first ten minutes. It then became so knotted that it was unusable until my husband coated it with something. Unless you want to do some fixing up on it before she plays with it - I'd stay away from this purchase.

I purchased this product for my 3 year old who hates to get her hair done. I thought maybe she could do the Barbies hair while I do hers. Thought it was a good idea until I took it out the box.
Doll falls over when you comb. Clips are hard for little hands to use. The toy works when my daughter shows me where she wants the barets placed. Too frustrating for a 3 year old. Might be O.K. for an older child.
