Natasha Moraes de Andrade, who lives in an
impoverished shanty town in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil,
has never had a haircut and plans to sell
the 5ft 2in mane of hair for £3,500 to serve as
extensions. At 5ft 3in, she is just one
inch taller than the length of her wavy chestnut
hair - and the maintenance it requires sees her use
a full bottle of shampoo every week.
Her mother Catarina Moraes de Andrade, 42, said
admirers told her never to cut her daughter's
beautiful hair as it was so thick and long.
Children in her local neighbourhood chant
'Rapunzel, let down your hair' at her window, and
passersby frequently take photographs
Natasha's mother Catarina Moraes de Andrade
implored her daughter to cut her hair so that she
could join in with the other children
'At the moment she is like a prisoner. She just goes
from school to home again,' Mrs Moraes de
Andrade said
But now she's urging her girl to chop it off
because it's interfering with her life.
