3.0 out of 5 stars An Irish Beauty, yes - but the hair.... YIKES!, June 5, 2007

My daughter reallly wanted this Barbie. I agree with her, she certainly is beautiful. Her makeup, dress, tights, shoes. Very nice. But her hair.... It's beautiful and will stay beautiful if you keep her on a shelf. Please be prepared that if your little one is going to play with her, her hair will not look that way for long. After one hour of play, our Barbie no longer has curls, only frizz. One big frizz ball head later, she looks trashed. We always find flaws with the Barbie we purchase - they shoes usually. But the hair on this one, what a joke.

I gave this to my wife to add to her small but eclectic Barbie collection (plus she does a lot for the local Irish festival, so it's a win-win). It still has Barbie's ridiculous feet, but other than that it's one of the more attractive releases. The face doesn't have the vacant smile. The hair is pretty. The dress is oh-so-screamingly trademark Irish...but that matches the costumes you see at a real feis. A doll to play with? Nah. That hair will unravel and tangle in a heartbeat. A doll to collect and appreciate? You betcha. It looks great with the rest of her collection.

Other than her hair not staying in those perfect, bouncy curls, my daughter just loves this doll!
