Mom And Her Three Daughters Are Real Life Rapunzels

You have to admit it, there are people with so many different talents out there in the world. It almost seems unbelievable that we might share the same air with some of them but in reality we all have a certain characteristic that makes us a bit different and a bit more special in comparison to others.

So you might not have figured it out yet, or you might have honed onto your talent from a pretty young age but whatever it is, we hope that you nurture it and make it grow. Same as how this family has managed to make fairytales come true, if only in a way. Bet you never thought that you’d see someone with a hair like a real-life Rapunzel.

Mom Tere Lynn Svetlecich Russell, 43, and her daughters have a combined hair length of over FOUR METRES (over 13 feet) - like a family of real life Rapunzels. The mother-of-five has had flowing locks since she was a toddler and still has it today because it drives husband Chip, 47, wild. Actually that was the reason he fell in love with her when they first met in high school. Amazingly, she is forced to wash it by kneeling every time because it DRAGS her to the floor when wet. But most of the time her tresses are winning her acclaim across Illinois state where she regularly scoops the first place in 'Longest Ponytail Competitions' at annual fetes and fairs - and now her girls are following in her footsteps.

Tere Lynn gives #longhairdontcare a whole new meaning, since she has left her long strands untouched her entire life! Today, her tresses measure incredible 74 inches in length! Her three daughters, each following in their mother's footsteps, use a quarter of a bottle of hair conditioner with every wash.

What is shocking for everyone is that neither the mother, nor her three girls have ever been to the salon. The footage shows the group of ladies going to their first ever salon, but instead of chopping their long manes off, they opted out for some pampering instead. One of her daughters still can not decide whether to cut her hair a few inches or not. So, as Tere Lynn says, she will leave her beautiful daughters to decide for themselves what to do with their long curls when they grow up enough.

Hmm… We wonder how would their hair will look like when they turn 18!

Growing hair this long isn’t something that’s been done only recently. There have been grainy photographs and sketches of people in the past that have grown their hair so long, it actually dragged on the ground behind them. Entire families have dedicated their lives to maintaining their long locks and eventually, some of them even ended between the pages of the Guinness Book of World Records.
