Taking care of her hair is like a full-time job for this woman, who likes to think of herself as a real-life Rapunzel. She earns money by growing and showcasing her long hair.
Alia Nasyrova, who is 33 years old, has hair that measures an incredible 90 inches long! She shared that it took her 20 years to grow her hair to this amazing length, which is just like her favorite fairy tale character, Rapunzel.
“I began growing my hair out because I’ve always loved long hair since I was a kid. I was really drawn to the long-haired princesses in fairy tales,” said the woman from Latvia, who also mentioned that she’s “a model with super long hair and a Queen of long hair!”
Nasyrova, a model who makes money by sharing special content on her website for fans who pay, says, “I want to travel around the world, find girls with long hair, and share their stories and beauty, which I see as a form of art.”
The girl with the beautiful long hair has a really fancy hairstyle that takes a lot of work. She spends an hour every day washing it, lets it air dry for a whole day, and when she goes out, she has to carry a special bag just for her hair stuff. This bag weighs 22 pounds and is filled with shampoo, conditioner, and all sorts of hair tools.
She also gives her soft brown hair some special workouts while on her yoga mat.
Nasroya’s husband, Ivan Balaban, mentioned that he really loves her long brown hair, but he actually tries to keep his distance from it.
“I always snuggle up against the wall to make sure there’s enough room for my hair, so I can’t accidentally mess it up or hurt it in any way,” he said in a 2017 interview.
“I always talk to the braid respectfully. Sometimes I ask it to move a bit.”
Having hair that drags on the ground can be a bit challenging at times.
Nasyrova shared a funny but sad story from her childhood about a time in the theater when someone got gum stuck in her hair. “It was such a disaster!” she exclaimed. “I had to chop off a big piece of my hair to get that gum out because it was really tough to remove.”
Even though the Latvian woman has incredibly long hair, Nasyrova doesn’t actually have the title for the longest hair.
The Guinness World Records (GWR) says that Xie Qiuping from China holds the record for the longest hair. She began growing her hair when she was just 13 years old in 1973, and now it measures an incredible 18 feet 5 inches long!
GWR reports that her “hair is almost as long as an adult male giraffe is tall.”
A lot of people would say that taking care of hair can be really tricky, so we have to give a big shoutout to Alia Nasyrova for her hard work and commitment to growing her beautiful long hair!
How do you feel about really long hair? Is it something you could take care of, or do you like your hair to be shorter and easier to manage?
