Do you remember Girl’s World growing up?
I remember I used to love mine and would spend hours styling her hair and doing her make-up.
Eliza is now 8 and is at the age where she is starting to care about and experiment with her appearance, so when we were invited to review the brand new I’M A STYLIST Styling Head – Lucy, from I’M A GIRLY, I knew she was going to love it.
The 33-cm tall beautiful styling head comes with earrings, hair accessories,
self-adhesive gemstones for the face and magnetic eyelashes.
The first thing that struck me when we took the styling head out of the box is that it is larger than other styling heads and has broader features, making it easier to work with.
Eliza has had Disney Princess styling heads before and their hair as been quite sparse, making styling difficult, whereas I’M A STYLIST has a good amount of hair to work with.
Also available are the signature I’M A GIRLY interchangeable wigs in a variety of colours, so the soft hair can be easily exchanged for different shades, textures and looks, allowing kids to style and even cut it. The wig comes with a handy stand for easy storage.
Eliza started off with a simple look of bunchies and applying the gems to the dolls face.
Because the I’M A STYLIST head’s hair is nice and long, and you can secure it to table using suction cups, it is perfect for practising different hairstyles on, including plaits.
Eliza looked up how to do a fishtail plait on youtube and followed the instructions.
It wasn’t a bad attempt for a first go!
Also in the box are magnetic eyelashes, which are easy to apply on the doll for a really “wow” effect.
To change the wig, loosen the elastic at the back of the head and pull it out of the notch that runs all the way around the dolls head.
Insert the new wig with the elastic at the back of the next into the notch and hold the wig at the back and pull the front part over the top of the product
until the rubber band is fully placed in the notch.
To secure it, simply tie together the strings at the back and her hair is ready to style.
These Styling heads are for perfect for children aged 3 – 15 and have an RRP of £89. Wigs cost from £23.
I can see ours being used for years to come.

Oh wow this has to be one of the best styling heads I have seen, I know my daughter would love it too! Like you mentioned, other styling heads I have seen the hair has been quite sparse or thin but this one looks like it has lovely thick and soft hair. A great idea with the wigs too so the hair can be changed etc!
I can remember having a hair styling doll when I was little, but it never looked this amazing.
These styling heads look like such a lot of fun!
Girl’s World, what a blast from the past! I used to spend hours doing her makeup and her hair. I’m a Stylist head looks much better though and has lots more accessories.
I remember as a child I had a similar game and it was important to learn how to take care of my hair, experiment with hairstyle and develop my imagination.
I didn’t have Girl’s world but had something similar and I loved plaiting my dolls hair and styling it.
I swear something like this used to be around in the 80s and I’m sure I remember my sister playing with something VERY similar to this!
What a fab review. I like that you can change the hair over. That is super cool. It’s a great way for kids to learn to plait.
This definitely reminds me of something I remember coveting as a little girl! My daughter is starting to get into styling so would love this.
I loved my Girl’s World when I was growing up, this looks like a fun toy for kids.
My daughter had something similar in school and loved it! This model looks like so much fun!
Cuteness overload!
This looks like so much fun, I’m sure my kids would love it! Always wanted one as a child!
I’m not really into dolls. But this one looks so good.. Little girls would really love this..
I remember being so bad with dolls! I would break the arms and tear the heads apart only to try and put them back together. they don’t always work.. haha! definitely going to keep this in mind for my friend’s kid!
I think this is so awesome for little ones! It gives them room to be creative and that could possibly lead to a career in hair styling.
Oh this looks fab! My girls love this kind of thing, they are obsessed with playing with hair!
I had one when i was small and loved it. I think she is was spurred me on into hairdressing lol
Oh, these have come such a long way since I was a child. I remember my sister and I had one. This looks great and very creative.
This looks like so much fun, especially for budding hair stylists. My kids would love it!
We had a similar Disney Princess head and had the same problem with sparse hair. This looks so much better!
This is so cool! I wish there were these kinds of styling head when I was little.
I had something similar when I was a kid. I do remember it being so fun.
This is so cute andfun. My girls love to play a role-playing when each of them plays as a hair stylist. This would be perfect for them.
I would have LOVED this when I was little! We never had anything like this 🙁 looks like so much fun x
Oh wow my daughter would love this! it looks so much better that usual girls styling heads
What a fun toy for the little ones! I remember my daughter loved having a styling doll! Fun memories 🙂
The styling doll my daughter had when she was little was rubbish compared to this one. It is such good quality!
Oh wow, this looks such better quality than other ones I have seen. I love that the hair can be changed too.
Oh I think your daughter is better at plaiting than me. She’ll be a pro in no time.
i didnt know they still made these! awesome for inspiring future stylists!
Nice reading your tips. It would be extremely useful for those who are looking for styling heads.
Love the competition! It sounds so much fun! I wish I could have a girl to let her participate in it
wow lovely i think its great hair style i have a daughter and i will try this for her i think she will really look like doll
They are fantastic, aren’t they? The twins have spent hours on their styling head and have tried some great new ideas. It’s great they can practise plaits again and again until they get it right.
My girls love these styling heads – they can play with them for hours and it beats them playing with my hair lol!!
This is so cute. I wish we had something like this when we were young. I am sure little girls have a lot of fun playing with the styling dolls.
I loved Girls World growing up and the girls both love doing hairstyles on their dolls. The accessories you get with this head are pretty awesome aren’t they
It’s great for them to practice on as it’s so life like x
Wow sounds like she has really enjoyed using this and I love all the accessories it comes with – a great way to kids to get creative

This is so cute! She looks like she’s having so much fun!
