Rapunzel exists and she lives in Latvia

Thanks to her magical hair, Rapunzel has made more than one little girl dream. The hair of Aliia Nasyrova, a Latvian from Russia, has no power, but is no less impressive:it is 2.2 meters long! To achieve such a result, the young woman stopped cutting them when she was seven years old, inspired by the heroines of fairy tales. Two decades later, she has made her hair a central part of her life, even dedicating an Instagram account to it!

To take care of her hair, Aliia brushes it for an hour a day and when she washes it, the young woman has to be patient:it takes a whole day to air dry. Aliia never goes out without tying them up, so as not to take the risk of stepping on them. Her hair therefore requires time and a lot of maintenance, but that's not all:it imposes permanent tension on her neck, because she weighs almost two kilos! Despite these constraints, Aliia is proud of her particularity, and her husband is of the same opinion:he is so used to this long hair that he now considers it "a member of the family", he confides to Daily Mail .

If her hair is not unanimous among Internet users, Aliia still shares her original hairstyles and her daily life with 17,700 subscribers on Instagram!
