A stunning blonde who stopped cutting her hair for a bet has turned into a real-life Rapunzel after growing it out for 14 years. Russian beauty Daria Gubanova’s amazing head of thick golden hair now comes down almost to her ankles.The 27-year-old, who lives in the city of Barnaul in south-central Russia’s Altai Krai region, says she will not trim her impressive mane until it reaches her toes.

Ms Gubanova began growing her hair 14 years ago when a friend bet her that she could not grow her hair long enough to braid it.

So she stopped visiting her hairdresser and began letting her hair go free.

Now, she is hailed as a modern day Rapunzel thanks to her incredible look.

Daria, who has more than 218k followers on social media, estimated that her hair is 1.5 metres (almost six feet) long.

And she has gained herself an army of admirers who wish to follow in her footsteps.
