A real-life Rapunzel with 6.5ft-long natural, blonde hair who hasn't cut her locks in 30 years has revealed the secret behind growing her golden tresses.

Alena Kravchenko, 35, from Odessa, Ukraine, said she only washes her hair once a week in a process which takes 30 minutes.

The hair model never combs her hair whilst wet to prevent breakages nor does she use a heat to dry it, preferring to air dry her hair naturally.

With all the ugliness in the world, it is nice to be reminded of the beauty from time to time...

For her own safety, she should never stand near running motors or engines.

Has Crystal Gayle kept her classically long straight hair as she aged?

Having no desire to grow 6 feet of hair, I’m not sure these are genes I would covet anyway, but you are correct: the “lifespan” of any single hair is determined genetically, so no amount of careful grooming would enable most of us to grow hair this long.

I remember that as one of the funniest cartoon from Mad Magazine in the 70’s.

Long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (okay it was the 70’s), I dated a girl with hair down to her knees.

Many fond memories.

Having gotten on in years a bit, Mrs. Crusher started being concerned that her hair was getting thin. Even though she has worn it short most of her life, she thought it was time to let it grow.

So now it clogs the drains, appears in my food, is stuck in the dryer filter, etc., etc.

It isn’t really attractive. It sort of works when she wears it in a pony tail. I always thought that older women with long hair looked like crones. Mrs. Crusher tends to be of a contrary nature and, if I make the slightest negative comment regarding the length, her hair will never see a scissors.

The other day she mentioned cutting it to shoulder length. It was all I could do to not fist pump.

All that to say the featured female is the very definition of high maintenance and whoever pairs with her better be ready to eat hair stew and be on a first name basis with a plumber.

Maria Orsic and the other girls in the Vril Society would have recruited her in a heartbeat.
