We thought that seeing someone with a hair of disproportionate dimensions, was something typical of fiction as in the case of “Uncle Thing” of “The Adams Family” or, something that belonged to the most retarders patriotic pop and that kitsch character that is the “Pelopony. “
Also, we could think of the universe of fantasy, fables and stories, who does not know the story of Princess Rapunzel?
Well, forget that the fact of having a blanket of hair up to the feet is something of the imagination and the unreal because, the story of this Ukrainian who has not cut her hair for more than 30 years, is totally true as matted as it may seem.
When most people dream of wearing beautiful hair but it is quick to wash, fix or comb, Alena Kravchenko, 34, decided, one day, that she would never cut her hair and, in fact, She has been growing since she was five years old.
Alena, who says that it was her mother who instilled her love for wearing long hair, wears blonde hair that, of course, already exceeds her own stature.
Kravchenko declares, “My love for my braid is so strong that not for a second, in all my life, I have thought about a haircut; I cannot see myself, nor can I imagine myself with short or dyed hair of a different color”.
We assume that you spend spending shampoo in industrial quantities and do stretching and yoga positions while combing.
Alena says, “It is not difficult for me to keep my hair, nor to dedicate constant care because it is part of me, my beauty and my wealth.”
The Ukrainian Rapunzel comments that she washes her hair once a week and never dries it with the dryer; We don’t know how she will do it in winter, really.
In addition, she says that, for the care of her hair, she uses natural masks, various types of oils to nourish it, dried fruits, nuts and even homemade cottage cheese.

The truth is that seeing it in the photos of her Instagram account that has more than 24,000 followers, is most curious although it reminds us of an Asian horror tape.
We believe that everyone is free to do what they want with their body and mind but, we just hope we don’t match Alena in a heavy metal concert.
