Real-life Rapunzel stuns with her flowing locks – just five years after battling hair loss condition alopecia
Russian beauty Anastasiya Sidorova has won an army of fans on social media
THIS real-life Rapunzel has won an army of online admirers thanks to her flowing locks.
Russian beauty Anastasiya Sidorova's amazing red hair is 106cm (42ins) long - but it hasn't always been that way.
Just five years ago, at the age of 18, she suffered from the hair loss condition alopecia - which leads to bald patches and, in extreme cases, total baldness.
Now the 23-year-old has a stunning head of hair - which she says is totally natural.
Anastasiya recently gave her 390,000 followers a pre-Christmas treat, by uploading a selection of new pictures.
In one, she's wearing a black swimsuit while sitting on a swing - with her hair flowing out behind her.
She captioned it: "I think this is my most favorite photo. Like it if you think so too."
The snap's racked up more than 53,000 likes and 600 comments - with one follower writing: "This is one perfect photo."
Other comments included "You are beautiful", and "This is an amazing photo".
