Do not buy Magic Change Hair sets!

Magic Change Hair was sold in the mid-1990s in a large package that held what was basically a baseball cap.

I bought one of these hair sets cheap at an antique store.  I was disappointed when I opened it.  The hair started to disintegrate immediately.  I was left with a million tiny pieces of plastic hair that stuck to everything and yet were impossible to pick up.

So now all I have left is the cap.  I am glad I did not purchase one of these at full price when they were first sold.

There were two sets of Magic Change Hair.  The first set had a box date of 1993 and was sold in 1994.  All six hairpieces had a stock number of 68090, and they were:

Baseball Fan--orange cap and orange curls

Creative Artist--red beret, slightly wavy bleached blonde hair

Crimp N Curl--purple knit cap, wavy bleached blonde hair

Curly Haired Beauty--yellow helmet, frizzy bleached blonde hair

Hip Hop Dancer--dark pink fedora, dark brown waves

Pretty Cowgirl--blue cowboy hat, slightly wavy dark blonde hair

The second sets were sold in 1995 (box date 1994) and 1996 (box date 1995) with slightly different packaging each time.  The additional wording was "Double Hair Fun."  The caps were changed to visors and were open at the top so that the doll's own hair could be pulled through.  Stock number was 68311.  There were three hairpieces:

Orange bandana print with yellow bill, light brown crimped hair

Pink print, pirate hat style, bleached blonde braids

Red bandana print with yellow bill, slightly wavy black hair

At first I thought the bandana prints were the same as the prints used on the Benetton and All-American doll scarves in 1991, but closer examination reveals that the fabrics are different patterns.

Magic Change Hair is the only packaging I have seen
that includes Skipper and Stacie wearing the hair.
