– From the age of three, my mother and I decided to grow my hair. They did not require special care: just after washing, we apply a balm for easy combing. I really love it when my mother flies in unusual braids. My little brother is growing up, and now my main concern has become to make sure that he does not tear off my braid, as Andryushka likes to hang on it.

When my brother was 4 months old, we lay together on the bed. I had my hair down. And it so happened that they lay down as if they were growing on the head of my bald brother. Mom took a picture of us and sent the photo to dad. But dad did not understand who I was in the photo with. He wrote: “Why did you send me a photo of Arina with someone else’s child?”

– I was born to my mother ahead of time, I was very small (weighing 1700 g and height 41 cm – approx. WD). Of course, I had no hair – only fluff. At 1 year old I got a haircut, and since then I have only been trimmed. Yes, and I myself do not allow to cut my hair – they are thick, the ends are curly! Taking care of your hair is very simple: wash it once a week with regular baby shampoo and baby rinse.

Everyone admires my hair! Sometimes, however, problems arise to collect them in a bunch in ballet classes.

The main thing is to love your hair. Once I told a kindergarten teacher: “Long hair is a merit of my mother, she combs and braids it every day with the words:“ Grow a braid to the waist, don’t drop a hair … ” me were the same.

– When my mother combs my hair, she says: “Grow your braid to the waist, do not fall out a hair. Grow your braid to your toes, the suitors are in a hurry. “

Twice, when I was 1 and 2 years old, I got my hair cut because the hair is very thick and it was difficult to rinse it out. And from the age of 3, they are only trimmed to me once a year by about 10-12 cm.

Once in a restaurant, the waitress noticed my long, curly, thick hair and complimented me. Then other visitors drew attention to me. In the end, the trip to the restaurant ended with my braid being measured with a box of matches, both in width and in length!

At 3 years old, I crawled under the bed and cut my bangs myself. When I came out from under the bed and showed myself to my mother, she, of course, gasped, and I said to her: “I went to the hairdresser’s!” Parents laughed at me for a long time, because I was like a hedgehog – with a bang-ladder!

For almost 4 years, my daily diet contains: vegetable protein (mainly from legumes), oils, fruits, vegetables, herbs, a protein-vitamin cocktail and calcium. I rarely use a hairdryer and an iron, and after a shower, I do not shuffle the towel on my hair, but simply wrap it gently. Has long ceased to dye and discolor the strands.

After that, I grow my hair again, periodically trimming the ends by 5-10 cm. In general, no one in our family had long hair, so everyone is surprised at this fact.
