Product description
The sample is the multi-lingual international packaging version of the product. Photo images of the English-only, domestic packaging version were also provided with your inquiry. The contents of both are identical. The item is comprised of a doll hair styling head packaged with plastic hair accessories, a plastic brush and an applicator and cup for water-activated color change makeup for the doll. The plastic hair accessories include a tiara, four barrettes and two hair coils. The items are designed to enhance the play activity of a child creating hairstyles for Rapunzel. The domestic packaging will state “Hair accessories to wear and share!” While the hair accessories may be used in a child’s hair, the Rapunzel Styling Head is principally a source of amusement and fun for children three years of age and older and its essential character is that of the toy Rapunzel Styling Head and not of the hair accessories. The sample will be returned as requested.
