Real-life Rapunzel Aliia Nasyrova has hair so long that her husband admits he thinks of it as another member of the family.

Aliia, 27, who lives in Riga, Latvia, took 20 years to grow out her hair, which measures almost 2.3m to the floor – and even has its own space in the marital bed.

And while her massive mane attracts stares when out in public, her husband Ivan Balaban says he loves it and is proud of her for not cutting it.

At around 2kg, Aliia says her lengthy locks weigh as much as the family cat.
