12 Year Old Girl With Longest Hair: 5 Feet 2 Inches Long

 Real-life Rapunzel: 12 Year Old Girl With Longest Hair: 5 Feet 2 Inches long (1.57 meters): Only One Inch Taller Than Her Hair

What are the other records?Let’s take a look at people with longest hair

Have at the one of the girls with the longest hair in the world: it’s 5 Feet 2 Inches long and she’s only 5ft 3in tall. She is 12 years old and she has never once in her life cut her hair.

But living with hair as long ans hers is no walk in the park. Natasha Moraes de Andrade lives in a poor city in Brazil, and her family gets by on just one salary, but despite that, their annual shampoo bill is £400. Wanna know what else you have to do to get hair like hers?

Natasha has never set foot in a hair salon and still she has full, thick and long hair, but as always, when we have something, we want things at the extreme opposite. Well so does this 12 year-old girl, who grew tired of having to care for her extremely long hair and she plans to sell it.

So If you were wondering how you can have hair like hers, you might just be able to get this wonderful Rapunzel-like hair. How much do you need? Ohh… about £3,500. Why so expensive?

Well, being the teenager with the world’s longest hair is very exhausting, she has to spend an hour daily to brush it, she can’t do any sports, and she can’t even turn on the ventilators in her house due to the fact that her hair might get caught in it… just imagine the typical Brazilian heat with no ventilation.

The girl feels like she’s a prisoner of her own hair, and she hopes to be able to sale it as soon as possible so that she can get on with a normal life. The girl’s exact words were:

“I love my long hair and I’ll be sad when it’s gone. But it’s a pain looking after it. I can’t do a lot of things, like P.E. lessons at school. I hope to sell it for £3,500 and refurbish my bedroom. I hope it can give me a new life.”

We hope she finds her happiness, be it with long hair, short hair or how ever she wants it to be.

The real life Rapunzel managed to sell her hair for $ 5000 thus saving her family from financial issues. They now plan to build the house they’ve always dreamed of, all thanks to a new haircut.  after she cut her hair, the 12-year-old declared that:

“I was afraid I wouldn’t like it, and I was also scared I might not get the money I wanted for it. Getting it cut has given me a new life. I used to be afraid every time I went out that someone would grab my hair or try to cut it off, but now I can do a lot of things which I couldn’t do before. Now I’m having cycling lessons, and I’ve got my freedom back. I much prefer it. I want to learn English and Spanish, and I’ve been able to go to the beach and swim without being afraid of getting my hair wet.”

Here are some pictures of Natasha Moraes de Andrade after her haircut:

Now let’s have a look at some women with even longer hair!

He stopped cutting it when he and his wife had their first baby in order to prevent illnesses (old myth) and he just started getting used to it so he decided never to cut it again. a lifetime later he was the amazing man with hair which was longer than 6 meters.

      People like this should be IMMEDIATELY euthanized.

      ALL deformed babies such as Siamese twins, Shemales, etc. should be destroyed at birth.

      It is RIDICULOUS to allow them to live in suffering.

      The same is true for ALL those suffering from MASSIVE obesity.

      NOBODY should be allowed to have more than two children.

      ALL criminals should be IMMEDIATELY euthanized.

      To do otherwise is TOTALLY IMMORAL.
