DNIPRO, UKRAINE: Alona gets a trim every few months but her hair is now past her feet. MEET THE real-life Rapunzel whose six-foot-long hair has caused her to get inundated with DMs from 'creepy' guys asking to SNIFF it. Lawyer Alona Anufriieva (31) from Dnipro, Ukraine, started growing her hair at the age of 12, aiming to grow it to her waist. It took her three years to grow her hair to waist-length and then she decided to continue growing it. In total it took twelve years to reach six feet. Alona gets a trim every few months but her hair is now past her feet and she spends L75 ($100) a month on coconut oil, shampoo and conditioner to keep it thick and healthy. She has also gone through ten hairbrushes in a bid to maintain her healthy, thick locks, but finds they break after just six months of use. She even gets stopped in the street by little girls who call her Rapunzel and want to touch her hair. Alona believes long hair is a sign of a powerful woman and hopes her two-year-old daughter Mira will grow hers when she is older. Although she insists it never gets in the way of parenting or work, Alona?s hair often falls on the floor so she plaits it or piles it into a bun. She feels her incredible hair makes her unique and says men love it ? especially her husband Stanislav (34). But the attention she gets isn?t always so flattering, with creeps on Instagram wanting to sniff, touch and even buy her locks. She blocks requests immediately but her posts are flooded with comments from men wanting to play with her hair and begging her to never cut it. Mediadrumworld / @rapunzel_ua
