A woman named a “Rapunzel in real life” by friends and her family says she decided to wait a meter from her hair because she was upset for her.
Anaram Alizadeh, 25, blamed her long hair for deteriorating neck and shoulder pain and said they took a whole day to wash and styled.
Despite the dear compliments she received, the political science student says having 4 meters of hair was worth maintenance – and her head feels much easier now.
She paid $ 110.97 to get the big scraper and has given her hair a local charity that makes hairdresser for people undergoing chemotherapy.
Anaram, who studies at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, said: “I was really scared I wouldn’t like my own if I cut my hair would call me was.
“I just can’t bring myelf to finally cut it all.
“But eventually it felt like it was part of the self-care-it was affecting my demand and causing pain in the neck and shoulders.
“Even my physiotherapist advised me to cut it.”
For the last five years, Anaram just cut the split by ending her hair and refused to go further than a 4 -inch trim.
She would ever cut her hair once a year – as hairdressers would remove it because of her long trio.
In the longer, the gray student’s hand up to 4 meters, reaching the knees.
But soon it became so long that she hated to wear it down and would often be here on a braid or a tight finger, just to keep it out of her face.
“Hairdressers didn’t want to cut it, they just couldn’t handle it,” she said.
“The bottoms would really dry out of his connection, so I would cut five to 4 inches away so often – up to twice a year.
“I didn’t feel good enough to undergo a big change.”
Anaram says she did not try to grow her hair on her knees, but her “Persian genes” told her hair were thick, strong and fast.
Friends and family called it “Rapunzel in real life” and strangers would often come to her on the street, wanting to grab and feel her hair.
Although she says she did not offer her, Anaram would often tell the people she wore additions to avoid even more questions.
She said: “I have received compliments really often.
“People would catch and touch my hair – I didn’t feel offended, I realized it was unusual to look.
“I think people were just surprised really – I often asked if they were my real hair.
“I would simply tell people that they were additions because they wouldn’t believe it was true anyway.”
The last big cut that Anaram got was when she was 19 years old and this inspired her to finally do it again, six years later.
At the time, she donated her hair to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and decided that she would like to do it again.
Her long locks had even begun to have an impact on her health.
After being diagnosed with a curved spine, known as scoliosis, as a child, the weight of anaram hair is making her symptoms get worse.
“I was fighting so much with the neck pain,” she said.
“My hair was finally making my scoliosis worse – I had a really stiff neck and shoulders, not helped by the fact that I had to talk all day long by washing and styling it.”
On February 1, 2025, just a week after booking her meeting with her family hairdresser, Anaram had a meter shredded her hair.
As soon as the hairdresser was over, the student said she “exploded in tears”.
“It was tall, delayed long,” she said.
“The first thing I did after cutting was to tighten my head – I cried with happy.
“Just felt so easy.”
Now Anaram has no plan to grow her hair back to its original length and is enjoying its new freedom.
She says she gets fun to styled now and does not feel like a burden to wash it every other day.
“I will surely adhere to the short hair for some time now,” she said.
“In my culture, we always say that hair holds energy and memories.
“I was saved from bad energy by cutting my hair and it’s time to make some new memories.”
