Japanese Rapunzel (20 pics)
35-year-old Rin Kambe has been dubbed the Japanese Rapunzel because of her nearly 2-meter-long hair, which she hasn’t cut in 15 years. Rin, who hails from Tokyo, was never allowed to grow her hair as a child.
She was on the girl’s football team so had to keep it short, but when she became an adult, she decided to take control of her hair and use it as a “weapon of expression”. Now her straight, black locks measure 1.77 m, a good 10 cm more than Rin herself.
Although her hair sometimes gets in the way when doing the simplest of tasks, like changing her clothes, the Japanese dancer and model said that she loves it, adding that her hair encapsulates the “beauty of Asia”.
