Woman Who Hadn't Cut Her Hair For 30 Years Is Forced To Make A Move

Most people love visiting the salon, but not one Florida woman. Holly did whatever she could to stay clear of sharp objects that threatened her prized ponytail. She’d spent years with the security blanket of extremely long locks. But when she was about to begin a new phase of her life, this tough customer settled into the salon chair and was unprepared for how drastically her life changed.

Real-Life Rapunzel

Holly had really long hair. We’re talking Rapunzel-level tresses down to her waist. It always needed to be twisted, plaited, or piled up for her to function without being caught up in a tangle of unruliness. By 2017, she'd reached a breaking point.

Gate Guard

Each morning, Holly’s hair routine included brushing and taming her mane, putting on her uniform, and heading to her job as a gate guard. In her job, utility and function were key, and that mind frame seeped over into how she viewed beauty.

Hair Identity

For as long as she remembered, she’d had the longest hair around. Holly with the long hair is how everyone knew her. It was part of her identity. The idea of cutting her tresses would be like changing her whole personality.

Dream Wedding

Fast approaching, though, was her wedding. When she pictured the big day, at the moment her fiance saw her gliding up the aisle, there was a big old question mark as to how she would style her hair.
