Rapunzel.


I don’t know why when I saw her I immediately assumed her hair was fake, I suppose the reason for this assumption was that her hair was so unbelievably long and everybody I know who has hair as long as that, well lets just say it is not their own. Anyway I never care to ask anybody if there hair is real or not for I really do not care, the thought is for my mind and my mind only. We got talking since she was sitting at the bar and I was working, I asked her about her and learned that she speaks many languages and owns a shoe shop in Istanbul, I asked her the name of the shop and she told me it was called Rapunzel’s. The first thing that came to my mind was the story of Rapunzel and how Rapunzel had really long hair, instantly I knew that the ladies hair was real and not fake. I proceeded to ask her why Rapunzel’s even though I was sure it was something to do with her having long hair. She explained to me that in her whole life she had only ever had two haircuts, this lady is roughly in her 40’s by the way. And I thought I hated having my haircut, so much so that I only get it cut once a year but only two hair cuts in her life now that’s crazy. I asked her why and she simply replied that she loved long hair; she had her hair cut once in primary school and once at the end of secondary school. Here is to Rapunzel and her long, long hair.
