Design and Print Using the Hair Extensions Designer
The Barbie Designable Hair Extensions kit allows girls ages six and up to create personalized hair extensions and print them out using any inkjet printer. The process starts online at Barbie's website, where girls can design their own customized look using the Hair Extensions Designer. The interactive website features music and sound effects while you design, and offers a diverse choice of cool patterns, colors, and icons to mix and match. You can even upload your own images to create your own personalized style. Drag and drop elements onto the extension, then adjust size, rotate, and add and delete layers until you have the desired combination. With hundreds of designs to choose from, the possibilities are endless.
Our testers found the website easy to use for preteens and older. Younger children may need adult supervision. The designing process is enjoyable as a solo project or with friends.
Wear and Share Your New Designs
After finishing the design, place the special hair paper into your inkjet printer to bring your design to life. Once printing is complete, peel the extension off and attach it to one of the clips included in the kit--there are four comb clips and two star clips. Clip an extension into your own hair, share one with a friend, and clip one into Barbie's hair. Our testers found the hair extensions were surprisingly soft to the touch and made from a fine, silky material.
Creative Way to Experiment with New Styles
The Barbie Designable Hair Extensions kit allows girls to experiment with hair extensions safely with no commitment. Girls will enjoy experimenting with graphic design, and then styling their Barbies' hair with the extensions.
Includes Fashion-Conscious Barbie Doll
This kit includes a Barbie that complements the hair extension kit. With a permanent pink and black leopard streak in her blond hair, black sequin top, and hot pink pants, this Barbie will look fashionable wearing your hair extension creations.
System Requirements
Recommended requirements for operation of the website are an Intel 2.0 GHz processor, at least 1024 MB of RAM, at least 128 MB of graphics memory, and Adobe Flash 10 Player (required). The website is compatible with both PCs and Macs. Hair extensions are not compatible with laser printers.

I got this for one of my daughter's playdates. They had fun, especially since both girls have a couple of Barbie's between them. The set itself is fairly basic. As described on the product page, the set comes with one Barbie doll, 6 barrettes (which can be used on the doll or on the girls), and 16 printable hair extensions.
Since my daughter and her friend are only first graders, they needed my help with this `project'. The designing is done online and with multiple options to choose from, the kids were happily engaged in choosing a design they liked. Just follow the instructions, print, peel off, and clip onto the doll's hair or a child's, and that's it. I do have to say that the hair extensions feel like real hair, nice and soft!
It is a novel idea, and kept them occupied for some time, but honestly at this age, their attention span is quite limited, and they were soon off doing other things. Older girls might get more out of this. It is a cute idea though and a fun, creative project for girls.

Love the idea but hard for little ones. Must have adult supervision. I would only let 10 year old do it alone.

This is a teriffic idea. The doll comes with a colored piece attached, and the kit has 6 sets of 2 you can desisign using barbie templates,and 2 star clips and 4 large clips. You can layer things. Best of all you can import a photo and put it on it.
Will add a pic of what we did. I imported some Mickey Mouse embroider desgins and made clips for our Disney world Trip. It was a great hit.
It was hard to get my printer epson workforce 630 to take it . I had to push it forward farther than normal paper to get it to pull it through, and sometimes it took 3 or 4 tries. after printing let dry 2 or 3 minutes so it will not smudge. Next day we did turn over and comb through the back to separate the hair as it sseemed to stay stuck.

* NOTE You do not have to buy the doll to do it. The kit is sold separately for $10 to $15 and the only difference is there is not doll. So if you want the hair extensions for you or you Barbies you already have just buy the kit.

This Barbie comes with six hair clips and an assortment of hair printables. You design the extensions online and then print them out using a color printer. On the plus side, your kid gets to decide on all the creative elements of the extensions (there are tons of designed to choose from online). At the same time, it can be quite messy. If you don't keep an eye on them they're prone to have ink all over themselves. Also the hair clips don't always want to stay in, which can be frustrating.
It's a fun idea if not seamless, but in the end I do think this Barbie is overpriced. You're really not getting all that much outside of the doll for $30+. Still, if your little girl tends toward design, fashion, and arts-and-crafts type projects, then it would probably be a reasonable expense.

My daughter was over the moon for the doll. What's not to like? Its Barbie, with rockin' pants and a awesome silver belt, big ol' earrings and a very cool hot pink and black streak in her hair. The other comment from my 8 year old was how very long this Barbie's hair is! So right there, its worth maybe $15. Add the printable hair stuff and I'd give you $20-25 tops.
My daughter actually got onto the Barbie site herself. She poked through the designs before I even got around to it. So once I popped on, she was a pro. I was super impressed as she found the site, clicked through to the hair designing part and started going for it. She clicked on 4 different prints, resized and places each one. Then she found an icon that was a pink heart and resized and placed 2 of them. When she has finally finished a hair extension for both her and the Barbie, it was my job to load the paper, which is made extra easy with big, red arrows pointing you toward the correct way to load the printer.
We crossed our fingers, clicked print and waited. IT WAS FAST! I peeled both extensions off the backing (after the 15 seconds it took to dry) and there it was, exactly like the ones she designed. The "neato" factor only lasted so long, but its pretty cool how it works.
The practical application isn't so awesome. The extensions are hard to get seated on and remain on the clips that allow you to keep them in your (of course I mean your child's) hair and the smaller version that goes into Barbie's hair. The clips don't stay in well at all, either. We both did one and then they sat on the box on the steps for a while, waiting to be taken back up to her room.... Read more ›

Santa brought this for our 8-year-old per her specific request. It looked really cool, and we knew she'd have a great time designing them. However, we cannot get it to print on our inkjet at all. The pages load about 1/2 inch, then the printer errors out. We've tried probably 12 times tonight, with no success. I don't know if it's the sticky stuff around the hair the printer is objecting to, or if it's the thickness of the card stock, but it sure ain't going through. For the record, we have an Epson NX420.
