My Scene Styling Heads
Explore the My Scene Nolee styling head’s long dark hair, purple base and hair accessories, then design a salon appointment card.
The play at a glance
Long dark hair and small decorations for a salon scene
Nolee’s long dark hair falls around a purple styling base, with thin braids, blue accents and a small flower near her temple in the original Toysit image. Her purple eye makeup and lips echo the base. The head gives the player a close view of the hair and face, making the arrangement itself the center of play.
Choose a detail to build the style around
The pictured flower and narrow braids show how a small detail can change the look of long hair. Mattel’s C1985 description adds a collection of styling accessories, including extensions, barrettes, elastic bands and a brush. These give the salon theme a set of recognizable tools and decorations.
Imagine choosing a name for the salon and setting a little appointment card beside the base. One player could describe a desired look while another draws a plan. The original photograph might inspire a flower-themed design, a pair of decorated braids or a style with one bright accent color.
Let the salon have a conversation
A styling session can begin with a simple question inside the story: “What are you getting ready for?” A pretend visitor might be going to a concert, meeting friends or taking part in a school play. That occasion gives the player a reason to choose a particular decoration.
Try drawing two possibilities before choosing a favorite. One could place a flower at the side; another could repeat a color along a braid. Give each drawing a short name and let the visitor explain which detail they like best.
Design a salon appointment card
- Write a salon name at the top of a small card.
- Add a visitor’s name and an imaginary occasion.
- Draw a face with long hair and choose one decoration to feature.
- Name the finished style and write a friendly welcome.
- Make a second card with a different color or arrangement.
This original Toysit activity uses paper and pencils. The cards can become a small salon display or part of a doll’s day out.

Sources and editorial notes
Mattel’s C1985 Nolee record and manufacturer image were reviewed alongside the retained Toysit photograph. The manufacturer lists hair extensions, barrettes, elastic bands, a brush, faux jewels and a sparkle powder puff. A complete matched styling guide was not recovered; the new activity uses drawing and suggested salon conversation. Cosmetic use and hair-treatment directions are outside this profile. No physical testing was performed.
