There are many countries in the world with beautiful long-haired women. But in some of them it seems that there are more such women than elsewhere. Let’s discover such countries. This time our long hair country is Romania:
Long hair has an old tradition in that Eastern European country, as you can see on this postcard from the 1920s.

Lidia Roman (born 1976) lives in a small
village near Gherla. When Lidia joined a TV competition for the longest hair in
Romania in October 2008, she won easiely with her floor-length mane. Her hair
measures 165 cm (65 inches) in length and weighs 2,4 kilograms. For daily
haircare she needs about 45 minutes, but washing and drying (2 hours) is hard
work once or twice a week. Anyway she is very proud of her amazingly thick
cloak of hair.
