Real-Life Rapunzel Hasn't Had a Haircut in 28 Years
January 30, 2019
Alena Kravchenko had her last haircut when she was 5 years old, and now it's so long, it can touch the ground. She says she owes her luscious locks to her mom, who encouraged her to grow her hair long. Kravchenko keeps her mane all natural, avoiding hairdryers and straightening irons, and she only uses natural oils. Her hair has grown so long that sometimes she even trips on it. Kravchenko says her hair has become part of her identity, and she has no plans to cut it anytime soon.
