A mum whose 6ft-long hair makes her look like a real-life Rapunzel has said she refuses to let her daughters cut their locks as it would be "traumatic".
Alena Kravchenko, 37, and her 10-year-old twin daughters Valeria and Miroslava always get compliments for their long hair - and they are proud of it.
The model from Odessa, Ukraine, said her mother cut her hair when it was unmanageable as a child, which she described as a rite of passage that she will never inflict on her daughters.
