A regular trim or treatment at the hairdresser is part of the beauty regime of women the world over. But for the past 13 years, one woman has decided to forego the salon and instead see just how long she can grow her hair.
Dubbed the real life Rapunzel, Russian woman Dashik Gubanova Freckle has earned more than 104,000 followers on Instagram for her exceptionally long cascading hair.
Ms Freckle started growing her hair in 2003 and appears to be very proud of her luscious brown locks.
The Instagram star says she loves 'creativity in all its forms', and says her goal is to have her hair reach her toes.
She has also responded to those who have suggested she donate her hair to make wigs. 'This post is for those who say that I should donate their hair for wigs ... In 14 years, I cut a scythe and donate hair for wigs,' she wrote on Instagram. 'Today, I grow hair. My goal is to grow them to toe.' 英语新闻
