The Rapunzel family

In the United States, in Illinois, lives a family of real Rapunzel: the length of the hair of a mother and her three daughters in total reaches 4 meters.

Tere Lynn Svetlecic Russell hasn't cut her hair since she was a teenager. After marrying Chip, who still admires the length and beauty of her hair, she continued to grow her wealth. Her father’s excitement and admiration for her mother’s hair inspired their three daughters to follow her example.

Now the hair length of Tera Lynn, the permanent winner of the contest “longest horse tail”, held in her hometown, is about 1.5 m. The eldest, 11-year-old daughter Callan has hair about 73 cm long, 9-year-old Sendelyn has 72 cm and 6-year-old Chesney has 52.5 cm. The family still grows up a younger brother, who does not participate in the race, and a one-year-old Chapin, which all this is sure to await in the future.

Hair of this length, of course, requires titanic care. In addition to washing her hair, Tere Lynn is forced to kneel, because under the weight of wet hair she simply falls off her feet, she spends about a quarter of a bottle of air conditioning on washing her hair each time. In addition, she periodically pinches them with car doors, tightens the vacuum cleaner during cleaning, and children regularly step on them.
