Real-life Rapunzel who has been growing her hair for years now has locks so long she can wear them as a GOWN
A REAL-LIFE Rapunzel, who has been growing her hair for decades, has locks so long she can wear them as a dress.
Malgorzata Kulczyk’s long blonde tresses – which she has never dyed – skim her ankles and she can even wrap them around her body, like a gown.
While the 32-year-old, who lives in east London and plans to study IT, used to keep her hair in top condition with regular trims, she stopped having it cut in September 2015 – but it was already past her waist by then.
She said: “None of my friends and family wanted to trim it for me because they said it was still in good condition, so I stopped having it done. It was knee length then and now it reaches my ankles.
“I can’t see myself ever cutting it. I can’t imagine myself with short hair – nobody would recognise me.
“My hair is what I’m known for. People are so positive about it. Wherever I go, they smile at me and compliment me.”
Malgorzata recalled having bottom-length hair when she was only seven years old and she kept it in shape by having the ends snipped off every few months, until two years ago.
She attributes its glossy sheen to the homemade hair mask she applies a few times a week.
She uses different recipes, but mainly coconut oil, which she lathers on before letting it sit for at least half an hour, then washing it out using regular shampoo.
Remarkably, intricate styles like 48-strand plaits do not take her long, as she is so used to having extra-long hair.
“Doing a straightforward plait will take a couple of minutes,” she explained.
“People are always amazed by how quick it is. My friends will say, ‘You have so much hair, I thought it’d take you way longer.’”
She added: “I’ve never had any problems with my hair. I’m so used to it being long and I keep it in good condition.”
In June 2016, Malgorzata decided to set up an.
At first, she planned to use the page to swap tips with others and find videos she could follow, when styling her own tresses.
But, over the past 18 months, she’s built up more than 5,000 followers, who comment on the pictures and videos she posts.
“I get so many lovely messages every day, even just to check in and see how I am,” she said.
“Wherever I go, I’m known as the girl with the long hair.”
Unlike Malgorzata, another real-life Rapunzel, whose hair is 7.f ft long, says she get regular abuse online.
