The Brazilian Teenager with Long Hair Who Sold It and Bought a House for Her Family

What do you think would happen to your hair if you never cut it? For Brazilian 12-year-old Natasha Moraes De Andrade, it meant 5 feet 2 inches of a whole lot of brushing and washing. Natasha, who lives in a shanty town in Rio de Janeiro, had long locks, and an uneasy lifestyle because of them.

At 5ft 3in tall, she was only one inch taller than her hair, and had to carry it around so it didn't snag. She had to spend up to an hour and a half each day brushing it. Also, the fans in her house couldn't be turned on in case it got caught; that can't be easy with the typical Brazilian heat and no ventilation.

Despite living in poor economic conditions, her shampoo expenses were astronomical at over $600 a year. Recently, Natasha finally walked into a salon and cut her hair. It was the beginning of a new life.

Natasha wept as her 5ft 2in locks were sheared for the first time ever. Now, she wears her hair as a simple bob of just 15in in length, and washing her hair only takes five minutes. The real life Rapunzel managed to sell her hair for $5000, which helped save her family from financial issues. They now plan to build the house they've always dreamed of, all thanks to a new haircut.
