A regular trim or treatment at the hairdresser is part of the beauty regime of women the world over.
But for the past 13 years, one woman has decided to forego the salon and instead see just how long she can grow her hair.
Dubbed the real life Rapunzel, Russian woman Dashik Gubanova Freckle has earned more than 104,000 followers on Instagram for her exceptionally long cascading hair.
