The fairy tale Rapunzel has enchanted generations with her magical tresses. Meet Aliia Nasyrova, a Latvian of Russian descent whose real-world hair rivals the legend—at 2.2 meters long. Lacking enchanted powers but no less captivating, Aliia stopped cutting her hair at age seven, inspired by storybook heroines. Two decades on, it's become the heart of her life, complete with its own dedicated Instagram account.
Maintaining such extraordinary length demands dedication: Aliia brushes for an hour daily, and air-drying after washing takes a full day. She always ties it up before heading out to avoid mishaps like stepping on it. The nearly two-kilo weight strains her neck constantly, yet Aliia embraces her uniqueness. Her husband agrees, calling it "a member of the family," as he shared with Daily Mail.
Not everyone's cup of tea online, but Aliia captivates 17,700 Instagram subscribers with inventive hairstyles and glimpses into her daily routine.
