She’s proud of her mega-long locks – and men find it irresistible!

A 21ST CENTURY RAPUNZEL

IF YOU had to ask her, she’d say the root to all happiness lies in her hair. She may get some cutting remarks from people who think her locks are way too long, but she just brushes them aside.

Being a modern-day Rapunzel is the highlight of her life and if people don’t like it, well, she just chops them out of her life. The tresses tumbling to the floor are permanent and Malgorzata Kulczyk couldn’t be prouder of them.

Her hair hasn’t had more than a trim since she was a child and is now 1,5m long – just about as long as she is tall.

The 34-year-old, who hails from Poland but is studying computing in London, has amassed quite a following on social media where she tells fans of her fabulous follicles all about her crowning glory.

Malgorzata started her Instagram account, Miss Longhair, a few years ago with the aim of sharing haircare tips but she quickly became something of an internet sensation.

“I get so many beautiful messages, even just people popping in to ask how I am,” she says.
