Color change hair by applying a solution Color change hair Barbie What a fun idea! See later info for Color Magic at the above link. By applying a solution, Barbie's hair could change colors! This Barbie had the lifelike bendable legs. This doll was designed with special hair. The hair was rooted in 2 basic colors (Midnight or Golden Blonde). The new aspect was: By applying a color changer solution, Midnight hair changed to Ruby Red color and the Golden Blonde hair changed to Scarlet Flame. Hair colors could be changed back and forth over and over. See next page for more details. The 1st issue date was 1966, 2nd Color Magic issue date was 1967. Both box date was 1958. Hair color: golden blonde/scarlet flame or midnight/ruby red. Hair was below the shoulders. uneven ends, side parted, one side held back w/one turquoise hair clip, pulled back with a multicolor diamond print headband, cello on head, blue eyes, blonde brows, raspberry lips and blush or pale peach or coral lips.

continue Note: Midnight Color dolls have darker brows. Head markings: inside rim Copyr. @ 1958 Mattel Inc (same for 2nd issue) Both had tan bendable bodies and painted nails. Barbie head used and regular arms on both issues. what a great concept color changing hair photo link below
