A real-life Rapunzel with hair longer than her height might finally be trimming her locks as she keeps stepping on them.
Alla Perkova, 39, believes she's the "one and only Rapunzel in Ukraine" with her hair measuring a whopping 6ft long.
The fashion and hair model credits her locks to good genes, diet and gentle brushing.

Long shining hair grows in the family too as her 80-year-old mum Maria has locks down to her knees.
And Alla thanks her mum for giving her tips on growing her hair, as well as keeping it healthy.
When it comes to cuts, Maria is the only person to have ever trimmed Alla's hair, once at two and again at 12 years.
Alla said: "That is it, apart from that the scissors have not touched my hair in almost 40 years.
"My hair is shiny and healthy because I have good genetics and excellent health. I never follow a diet. I try to be calm.
"I do not dye my hair with any dye. I comb my hair gently and slowly. I don't do or use anything special."

But the time has come for Alla to break two decades of tradition as she wants another trim.
She added: "My mum has asked me never to cut my hair but I am now stepping on the ends of my hair.
"This makes me uncomfortable. I might have to cut my hair a little.
"I will never cut it short, but a trim might be necessary."
Alla found out she's having a baby boy and fears it'll be uncomfortable for him to be in the arms of a long-haired mum.
While she's never aspired to have a record hair length, now she's inspiring her 40,400 followers on Instagram.
She's a celebrity in Ukraine with an award named after her in an international beauty contest.
And even her husband, who she's been married to for 11 years, is supportive of her luscious long locks.
