Anyone else a Rapunzel fan? I meant the fairytale, but also those super-long-haired women, too. I DO have long hair, but not that extra-extra-sit-on-it long hair. When women keep their ultra long tresses pretty and well-groomed, I think there's nothing prettier. Of course, I can't stand to see a tangled, ratty mess hanging past someone's waist. So---if it's super long and well kept, I'm probably the weird person at the grocery store that won't quit staring at your hair.
This is Xia Aifeng and her hair is almost 2.5 meters long. Good grief! I guess she'd always have to wear it up because she'd step on it otherwise.

It's so long she can braid it wear it as a scarf!
I thought these illstruations in the updated children's book version are nice. "Rapunzel" by Paul Zelinsky.
Here's wishing everyone a good hair day!
Whoa, that's so weird, we were just talking about ladies with really long hair the other day. Great pictures. You forgot about the country singer Crystal Gail!

i loved the story rapunzel, and the hair was just too cool! i went to a bellydance event last weekend, and the featured dancer had fabulously long hair that made me think of rapunzel, (it was maybe to her knees) and she was an amazing dancer too!

I love long hair, and on men as well, even if it's a bit tangled up. All the old ladies here have got short permed white bubble head hairdo's but I intend to be a nasty old lady with scraggly grey locks. Won't be long now.... xxx

The young woman in the studio is incredibly beautiful, I'm so happy for her! Mine is arm length, a little bothersome occasionally, but most of the time well worth the effort. Hello to everyone at M&FH!

Once your hair is super long you should KEEP it, not donate unless YOU want to. There shouldn't be an automatic expectation to donate just because your hair is very long.
Go donate blood instead. Or grow your own hair to donate if it is so important to you. But it is rude to tell others to donate their hair.
