Combing her hair is the main event of Alia Nasroya’s day.

Or should we say “mane” event?

The 27-year-old resident of Riga, Latvia, has 90-inch-long locks. As such, she spends a hair-raising amount of time doing her ‘do: One full hour of combing and a whole day to air dry on the days she washes her tresses, according to Barcroft TV.

Oh, and she carries 22 pounds of shampoo, conditioners, and combs when she travels.

Nasroya’s husband, Ivan Balaban, is proud of her long locks, but does what he can to stay out of her hair ― literally.

“I am always cuddling up the wall to give more space for hair, so there is no way I can damage it accidentally, mix them up or harm it any other way,” he told Barcroft. TV.

“I always talk to the braid respectfully. Sometimes I ask it to move a bit.”

Although Nasroya is able to make a living modeling, she admits she’s had some pretty hairy experiences.

“Once in my childhood when I was in theatre someone left gum in my hair, it was a tragedy,” she told Barcroft. “I had to cut out a clump of hair to get rid of this gum, because it was very difficult.”

Nasroya has spent the last 20 years trying to get her hair to be as long as her favorite fairy tale character, Rapunzel.
