Alia Nasyrova, a 33-year-old model from Latvia, has grown her hair to an incredible 90 inches (over 8 feet) over the past 20 years, calling herself a “real-life Rapunzel.” Inspired by fairy tale heroines, she has turned her ultra-long hair into both a lifestyle and a career, sharing content with fans and celebrating long hair as a form of art.
Maintaining her hair is no easy task—it takes an hour to wash and a full day to dry. When she travels, her hair even has its own 22-pound bag filled with care products. Her husband, Ivan, respects her hair so much that he avoids touching it and even talks to her braid politely!
Though she doesn’t hold the world record, her dedication is impressive. Xie Qiuping of China still holds the Guinness World Record for the longest hair ever.
