While taking care of such long and beautiful locks takes some time, Alena says that it’s not that hard for her as she loves her hair. “It’s not hard for me with my hair, nor the constant care of them, it’s all a joy because this is part of me – my beauty and wealth!” Take a look and share your thoughts about this modern-day princess and check out her Instagram page.
She has been dubbed the Ukrainian Rapunzel after going viral for her 6 foot (1.8 meters) long hair.
“My love for my braid is so strong that for a second in my whole life I did not think about a haircut. I can not see and cannot imagine myself with short hair or dyed in a different color!” – Alena said.
The woman says that to keep her hair healthy she allows it to dry naturally and uses products to nourish it.
“The main thing that I never do: I don’t dry my hair with a hairdryer, I don’t use curling irons, I don’t comb my wet hair (they dry naturally), it’s all taboo.”
“I wash my hair once a week, use natural masks, various types of oils to nourish my hair; the main care is professional cosmetics. I definitely use dried fruits, nuts, and homemade cottage cheese.”
Her ultimate tip for those who want to have hair as beautiful as hers is to love it.
“In order to have long and beautiful hair, you just need to really want and love what you do.”
Dream on, Princess.
