She also had an extra length of hair inside the head, a small handle on the side of the base was turned to either make the hair grow or shrink back into the head, allowing her "stylist" to change her hair style / length without resulting to a pair of scissors! it could also be washed and styled using "human products" without much damage to the hair itself.
The "styling head" came in a box which also contained an instruction booklet; with details of how to use and styling Ideas Leaflet containing "Make up and \hair styling Tips".
Also included was 12 Rollers with Elastic "Pin", Hair Net, Hair Grips and several items of Make-Up:
1 Brown eyeliner pencil, 1 Black eyeliner Pencil, Blusher, Blue and Green Eye Shadow Crayons, False Eyelashes, 2 Lipsticks, Hair Colour Applicator Pens; 1 Brush, 1 Comb, 1 bottle of Shampoo and 1 of Hair Conditioner
The Brunette version is much rarer, she came with all the same items as the blonde and worked in exactly the same way.
Both originally came with black chokers around their necks, which was decorated with a circular clasp.
Occasionally you can still find them with these, like the one below.

Thankfully there was no lasting ill effects and her hair now, not only looks great, but is in very good condition and not at all stinky anymore!
Here She is:
Omg! I used to have a Girls World. That Box brings back so many memories! lol. Funny though - I've always been convinced that my GW looked like Leslie Judd. Not so, it seems ><
ReplyDeleteLol Sioux, That's pretty weird as I've always thought the Horsman Styling Head from 1971 - looks like her!! Good ol' Leslie what a trooper and so glamorous too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool styling head! I think that she looks something like an Olde West "good time gal" on the box, but that she looks pretty decent in real life.
ReplyDeleteThat collar-type choker is very late-1970s "Olde West" chic, like those worn by the mid-1990s Cut N' Style Barbie dolls!
This styling head is more detailed than the 1971 styling head by Horsman, right, with regards to the fact that it arrived with more accessories?
Hi Kitty, I have no idea, I'll have to check that out!!
ReplyDeleteI had a Girls World whose eye colour changed when you tipped her sideways but I can't find any evidence she even existed! Help, anyone? 😊
ReplyDeleteI had one of those, but googling just brought me here!
DeleteBrings me back!
ReplyDeleteOMG! The nostalgia is crazy! I can smell in my head the way my Girl's World head smelled, along with several of the make-up products. One funny memory I have, I came home one day only to discover that my older sister and her friend styled my GW to look like the late 70's Adam Ant, complete with the white stripe across her nose. I was so mad I cried, and got my sister in trouble, of course! LOL 😆
ReplyDeleteHi CharDivaSJ, your comment made me laugh out loud! I can't help feeling a little sorry for your sister though, I think she had a pretty good idea, and a load of fun carrying it out!
