The total length of their hair reaches 4 meters!
Before going to a beauty salon, many of us have a logical question: is it worth getting a short haircut or is it better to leave the length as it is? We remove the length, then we regret it, we grow our hair again. And so in a circle! But the result still does not satisfy us.
Tere Lin Svetlechich Russell from America does not have such problems. Even as a teenager, she made a firm decision – never to cut her hair again. We managed to keep the promise. Russell is now 43 years old and her hair is a whopping 188 centimeters!
Tere Lin can be called a modern Rapunzel, but she does not live in a high tower, but in an ordinary house. Russell is married and has five children. Her three little daughters followed her mother’s example and gave up their haircuts. Just imagine: if you add up the length of the hair of the entire beautiful half of the family, you get about 4 meters!
Obviously, caring for such long hair is a real challenge. It takes ¼ bottle of conditioner to wash the girls’ hair, and their mother helps them to do this procedure. Tere Lin does not use shampoos.
“I tried it a few years ago and my hair got so heavy from the water that I fell to the floor,” she told Barcroft TV.
All the minuses have their pluses. Once upon a time, long hair helped Russell find the love of his life. According to her husband, it was the luxurious hair of the chosen one that attracted his attention in his youth. Until now, Tere Lin continues to enjoy the advantages of her choice: she and her daughters wins the long hair competitions, and her collection of awards is enviable.
Being a princess from a fairy tale is great, but one of Tere Lin’s daughters is still thinking about cutting off 25 centimeters. So far, the girl did not have the courage to do such an act. At the same time, a loving mother notes that she is not going to force her children to grow their hair all their lives.
“It’s not for me to decide, but for them. I just want them to become old enough and make their own decisions, ”the woman admits.
