Taking care of her hair is like a full-time job for a woman who calls herself a real-life Rapunzel. She actually makes money by growing and showcasing her long hair. Alia Nasyrova, who is 33 years old, has hair that measures an incredible 90 inches! She shared that it took her twenty years to grow her hair to be as long as her favorite fairy tale character, Rapunzel.

“I began growing my hair out because I’ve always loved long hair since I was a kid. I was really drawn to the long-haired princesses in fairy tales,” said the woman from Latvia, who also mentioned that she’s “a model with super long hair and a Queen of long hair!”
Nasyrova makes money by modeling on her website, where she shares special content for her paying fans. She says, “I want to travel around the world, find girls with long hair, and share their stories and beauty, which I see as a form of art.”
The girl with the beautiful long hair has a really fancy hairstyle that takes a lot of work. She spends an hour every day washing it, lets it air dry for a whole day, and when she goes out, she has to carry a special bag just for her hair stuff. This bag weighs 22 pounds and is filled with shampoo, conditioner, and all sorts of hair tools!
She also gives her soft brown hair some special workouts while on her yoga mat.

Nasroya’s husband, Ivan Balaban, mentioned that he really loves her long brown hair, but he actually tries to keep his distance from it.
“I always snuggle up against the wall to make sure there’s enough room for my hair, so I can’t accidentally mess it up or hurt it in any way,” he said in a 2017 interview.
I always speak to the braid with respect. Occasionally, I ask it to shift a little.
Having hair that drags on the ground can be a bit challenging at times.

Nasyrova shared a funny but sad story from her childhood about a time in the theater when someone got gum stuck in her hair. “It was such a disaster!” she said. “I had to chop off a big piece of my hair to get the gum out because it was really tough to remove.”
Even though the Latvian woman has incredibly long hair, Nasyrova doesn’t actually have the title for the longest hair.
The Guinness World Records (GWR) says that Xie Qiuping from China holds the record for the longest hair. She began growing her hair when she was just 13 years old in 1973, and now it measures an incredible 18 feet 5 inches long!
GWR says that her hair is nearly as long as the height of a grown male giraffe.
