Alia Nasyrova, a 33-year-old model from Latvia, is known as the “real-life Rapunzel” because her dark hair is so long—90 inches long. Taking care of her beautiful hair is her full-time job and how she makes a living.
Nasyrova worked on her hair for twenty years to get it to the length she wanted, getting ideas from princesses in fairy tales who had long hair. She is happy to say that she is a “long hair model” and the “Queen of super long hair.”
To keep her beautiful hair in good shape, she has to follow a strict daily routine. Nasyrova washes her hair for an hour and then lets it air dry for a day. She also has a big bag with 22 pounds of hair care products in it.
Nasyrova practices yoga and takes extra care to avoid damage to her hair to keep it in check. Ivan Balaban, her husband, is also careful and makes sure not to touch her hair so that she doesn’t get hurt.
Nasyrova’s amazing hair can be hard to deal with at times. She remembers an embarrassing time when a child got gum in her hair and she had to cut off a piece.
Nasyrova’s hair is very long, but it’s not the Guinness World Record holder. That honor goes to Xie Qiuping of China, whose hair was 18 feet 5 inches long in 1973.
Nasyrova takes great care of her hair, and her story makes me think about what it means to be attractive with very long hair. Would you rather have shorter hair that is easier to style or longer hair that makes you stand out?
Nasyrova’s journey shows how determined and passionate she is. As she continues to take care of her beautiful hair, she encourages others to enjoy the beauty of long hair.
With her hair almost to the ground, Nasyrova looks just like Rapunzel, enchanting hearts with her stunning beauty. Her story shows that beauty comes in many ways and that sometimes it’s worth the extra work.
