Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program 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.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program 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.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program 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.
Honest reviews on Barbie Designable Hair Extensions Doll
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program 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.
She has never asked to do it again, leading me to think this isn't something we will do more than the one time, or if a friend comes over just for giggles. The box comes with 8 sheets, with each sheet containing one large and one small hair extension. There are 6 clips total, 4 large and 2 small. I don't think we'll be needing to order extra hair strips anytime soon. But she is still playing with the doll!

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!! As a result of trying to print the hair extensions, I am now going to have to replace my printer. I wrote to Mattel, and their only response was a form letter stating, "We strive to satisfy our customers, please accept our apologies." so I have wasted money on the product, AND have to spend money on a new printer!!! No offer of a refund, or even a discount on a future purchase!! My daughter was in tears on Christmas morning because this would not work.
