Japanese Rapunzel Hasn’t Cut Her Hair in 15 Years

Oddity Central ^

Rin, who hails from Tokyo, was never allowed to grow her hair as a child. She was on the girl’s football team so had to keep it short, but when she became an adult, she decided to take control of her hair and use it as a “weapon of expression”. The last time she cut her hair was 15 years ago, and now her straight, black locks measure 5ft 10in, a good 4 inches more than Rin herself. Although her hair sometimes gets in the way when doing the simplest of tasks, like changing her clothes, the Japanese dancer and model said that she loves her long mane, adding that it encapsulates the “beauty of Asia”.

The 35-year-old says that she constantly gets asked if her hair is real, and that people’s reactions to it are mixed. Some are really impressed by it, while some consider it too much. Even though she has been the target of hateful comments on social media because of her unusual look, Rin says she has learned to accept that everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Remember when Crystal Gayle had hair that long?

Hateful comments. Probably all from short-sheared, multi-color-coiffed feminists.

I knew a girl who had hair so long, it went to the top half of her legs. She also had enormous boobs.

Her name was Mary Beth, and she knew that we all called her Mary Breast.

I’m happy to see that it’s gorgeous — I was expecting something horrible. If my hair was that perfect, I wouldn’t cut it either.
