Just remember who made it and that they make good products ,,,, just not really braiding.
I thought this was a REAL braid tool but it only twists the hair.  It was not what I expected but no ones fault but mine.  Yes, it does twist the hair and if your child has long hair, this will probably work fine.  It did not do so well on my g.granddaughter's shorter hair.<br /><br />If she was older, I think this would be fine.  I did try it on a long haired doll and it did twist it but I left out a step, I think, because it untwisted in a short time.  I then had my neighbor try it on her own hair.  I just can't seem to get past that it doesn't really braid....hence the 2 stars and that's the only reason.
