27-year-old Aliia Nasyrova, who lives in Riga, Latvia, took 20 years to grow out her hair, which measures nearly 229 centimeters to the floor, and even has its own space in the marital bed.

The lengthy locks weigh about 2 kilograms, as much as the family cat, Aliia says.

Her husband also says he loves it and is proud of her for not cutting it. More photos after the cut
