Brazillian Wants To Sell Her 62 Inches Real Hair For $4,000.

Young ladies, we have a Brazilian Rapunzel here who has never cut her hair before and wants to sell the 62inches hair for less than £4,000.

Natasha Moraes de Andrade, who lives in an impoverished shanty town in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, has never had a haircut. 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.

Natasha spends four hours per week washing her hair and up to an hour-and-a-half brushing it each day. She has to carry it around when she walks, and fold it onto her lap when she sits down. Despite Rio’s 40-degree heat Natasha’s family cannot switch on a fan in the house because her hair gets caught in it.

And children often stand outside her house and shout ‘Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair.’ 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.

Natasha has been offered £1,750 for her hair once it has been lopped off but hopes to make more.

 She said: ‘I love my long hair and I’ll be sad when it’s gone. But it’s a pain looking after it. I can’t do a lot of things, like P.E. lessons at school. I hope to sell it for £3,500 and refurbish my bedroom. I hope it can give me a new life.’

Although she lives close to one of the city’s beaches, she can’t go swimming because sea water damages her hair and takes hours to clean out.

Natasha, who hopes to be an illustrator when she is older, has drawn a picture of the fairy tale princess Rapunzel, which is on the front door of the house.
