Product Description
From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"
Barbie's gone from fashion to hair and, for better or worse, fans will no doubt enjoy creating "dos" with this hair styling program. They first pick from Barbie and her three friends. The characters represent different ethnic backgrounds but with some questionable accuracy, for instance, the African American Barbie (Christie) has straight, fine hair. After picking their character, kids select from one of four "events" (work, wedding, date or costume party). A screen then opens up with their character's head and a menu of hair, makeup and accessories. Here they can easily cut the doll's hair with straight or angled scissors. If children don't like the results, they simply grow the hair back again. They can also color or streak the hair, curl it and add hats, hair barrettes, head bands and makeup. All of the hair and makeup tools are quite easy to operate but have limited use. For instance, kids can only apply lipstick to Barbie's lips (not her face or hair) and can only put barrettes and other accessories in predetermined places. One little boy was quite disappointed that you can't give Barbie a buzz cut. After kids finish the hair, makeup and accessories, they see a replay of their styling efforts, and they see the character in the context for which she was prepared (for instance, on her way to work). Children can also take a snapshot of Barbie and store it for a slide show or place it in a frame and print it. All in all, testers loved the program.

Barbie Magic hairstyler,
By kelly jarvis (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barbie Magic Hair Styler (CD-ROM)
Really cute, even for the older girls. My girls love creating styles, putting their name (or their friend's name) on the style and printing it. Good quality.

Creative fun for even the smallest children,
By A Customer
This review is from: Barbie Magic Hair Styler (CD-ROM)
My 4 and 6 year olds both love changing Barbie's hair, skin and makeup. When friends come over they all take turns creating the "perfect Barbie", then printing and comparing their projects. This CD offers a great variety of options to work with and inspires creativity and imagination in even the littlest children.
