Candylocks BFF 2-pack dolls give your little one twice the fun for one price. If your little one is a stylist in training or just wants to learn how to braid hair, she’ll love Candylocks dolls. These cuties are specifically made for styling play–the more creative the better. Here’s our parents’ guide to these affordable hair-driven dolls. But first…check the price on Amazon because one version is on sale for a really great price.
1. What are Candylocks BFF dolls?
Candylocks BFF dolls are a 2-pack of cute Candylocks dolls. Candylocks dolls are based on cotton candy (and smell like it too). They have super long cotton hair perfect for styling. BFFs have coordinating styles, names, and colors.
2. A Candylocks BFF doll is 3 inches tall.
These cuties are about the size of regular LOL tot dolls. Your little one is likely to be VERY surprised at how small the doll is so manage expectations from the beginning.
However…
3. There are 15 inches of cotton candy hair.
The doll is only 3 inches tall but, boy, does have super long hair. Your little one will have 15 whole inches of cotton hair to braid, bun, stack, and pile as much as she wants.
An IMPORTANT note on the doll’s head:
This doll only has half a head. She’s basically missing the back of her head because that is where the hair is attached. Although we wish it would have been possible to make a doll with a whole head and just attached the hair, apparently it wasn’t. A Candylocks doll’s hair is not rooted in clumps of hair like you see in dolls with other types of hair. We guess the big cotton pieces could not be attached that way.
Hopefully, your little one won’t care.
4. Do NOT use a brush or comb on this doll!
You absolutely, positively can NOT use typical styling tools are products on this doll. The hair is like cotton or big pieces of yarn. If she tries to comb it, the hair will come out, mess up the comb, and probably destroy the doll.
So how does she style the hair?
With her hands! This doll is made so that the big “dreads” pull apart and stick together with very little effort. She can do just about any style she likes just using her hands.
Your little one may not be able to use a comb or brush on Candylocks dolls, but she can still use hair clips and ponytail holders.
5. The doll on the box is the doll inside.
Candylocks dolls are a nice break from surprise dolls! Buy exactly what you want and know exactly what you are getting because…
Everything’s on the box!
6. There are 4 Candylocks BFF doll sets.
Currently, there are 4 coordinating Candylocks BFF 2-pack sets. They are all the same size. Their clothes and shoes can be removed, so they can switch outfits. We’ve provided them below in detail so you can see everything on the dolls.

Cora Creme & Charli Chip
Jilly Jelly & Donna Nut
7. Candylocks dolls smell like their flavors.
Well, for the most part. Any doll you order is going to have a faint smell but it will depend on:
- where the doll was stored (it may smell like surrounding flavors)
- what was next to the doll when it was stored (some objects can absorb the small)
- when your doll was produced (the smell faded over time)
8. A Candylocks BFF 2-pack comes with 7 accessories.
Each 2-pack comes with 2 dolls and 7 accessories to share:
- 2 barrettes
- 2 hairpins
- 1 clip
- A hair extension
- 1 hair chalk
Your little one can use the hair extension and hair chalk on her own hair, too!
Check the price for Candylocks BFF 2-pack dolls on Amazon.
9. Your little one can wash the hair!
If this hair chalk wasn’t washable, the doll would be ruined immediately. Fortunately, the hair is washable!
While many popular dolls with hair don’t recommend getting the hair wet, Candylocks dolls love it.
Just be sure to thoroughly dry the hair before more play. We recommend letting it air dry or line dry for one day after it gets wet.
And yes…the chalk will rinse out of your little one’s hair as well.
10. Says ages 5+, but we think 6-10 only.
If you have a 5-year old that likes tasting things or putting yummy smelling things in her mouth, this is not the doll for her…she’ll always be tempted. The series also isn’t great for girls 4 or under because of the small parts (choking hazards) and pointy ends that are perfect for poking eyes.
We think only girls from ages 6 to 10 will be interested in Candylocks BFF dolls (despite what the pictures on Amazon imply). Girls older than 10 will have moved on to other doll series like OMGs.
