The Real Life Rapunzel With 6ft Long Hair | HOOKED ON THE LOOK
Aug 07 2021
‘REAL Life Rapunzel’ Alena Kravchenko hasn’t cut her hair in over 30 years - and has zero plans to start! Based in Odessa, Ukraine, Alena’s hair is a staggering 6ft long and the last time she had a haircut she was just five years old. Taking inspiration from her mother and grandmother who were also long hair enthusiasts, Alena is now famous in her home country and worldwide. Unsurprisingly, her long locks mean that Alena gets a lot of attention and she’s developed a huge following on her Instagram page receiving thousands of likes on her posts. She has also received messages from strangers who are so enchanted with her hair that they have proposed marriage. If it’s untied, Alena's hair now sweeps the ground when she walks so she sometimes wears her hair in a braid or a bun to stop it dragging along the floor and to allow her to drive. Although she doesn’t cut or trim her hair Alena regularly visits her stylist who she has formed a strong connection with and together they experiment with different styles and looks.
