Totally Hair Barbie (also known as Ultra Hair Barbie in Europe) is a fashion doll in the Barbie line that was released in 1992. The doll’s extra-long hair reached all the way to her toes and at the time, she had the longest hair ever for a Barbie doll. She is notable for being the highest-selling Barbie doll in history.
The doll debuted in 1992 with several versions available: standard blonde Barbie, a brunette Barbie (which was significant because it was the first time in 20 years that a brunette Barbie was produced), African American Barbie, Totally Hair Ken, Totally Hair Skipper, Totally Hair Courtney, and a Totally Hair Whitney.
Accessories included a scrunchie, hair clips, hair tie, comb, DEP styling Hair gel, the dress, and her signature pink heels. Fashion packs were also released alongside the dolls to redress them. A Totally Hair Barbie Styling Head was also released. The doll was marketed at the time as being the longest-haired Barbie, until she was dethroned by Jewel Hair Mermaid Barbie in 1996.
More than ten million Totally Hair Barbie dolls were sold worldwide, making Totally Hair Barbie the best-selling Barbie doll in Mattel’s history. Totally Hair Barbie was a hit with children between 1992 and around 1995, holding a record for the world’s longest successful toy sale, being on the market for about 4 years.
In 2017, Mattel rereleased the doll for her 25th anniversary, and it is generally faithful to the original, with some minor changes, such as a lack of the hair gel and the inclusion of a booklet, certificate of authenticity, a doll stand, and the hair being a different material, as the original had Kanekalon hair while the reproduction has Saran hair.
