Whether it’s the boring hairstyle we’ve had for years or the clothes we got tired of, a little change always makes us feel better.
Rosa Ramirez, an American woman, saw that it was time for a change after 25 years of not getting her hair cut.
Because her hair was so long, she sometimes walked on it.
Over the years, her husband had tried to get her to change her hairstyle, but she was always proud of her 1.5-meter-long hair.
She finally had enough and went to the hairdresser with some friends after 25 years of hard work. She had her hair cut to her shoulders.
The owner of the hair salon, Eda Motchka, told WXYZ-TV Detroit, “We love seeing different things done on customers, different styles. We meet a lot, and I always see her the same way.”
But she did what she did for a reason. Locks of Love is a nonprofit that makes wigs for kids whose hair has been lost to cancer. Rosa sent 4 feet of her hair to them.
Ramirez said, “I think it would make someone’s day who is sick a little better.”
Rosa’s change over time is very interesting to watch. Watch how it works in the video below.
Then, one day, she finally gave up and cut her hair! Better sit down before you see what this woman looks like today:
She hasn’t cut her hair in almost 30 years, and despite her hair outgrowing her height of 5′6″ (1.68 meters) she doesn’t even think about cutting it.

“My love for my braid is so strong that for a second in my whole life I did not think about a haircut. I can not see and cannot imagine myself with short hair or dyed in a different color!” she added.

While taking care of such long and beautiful locks takes some time, Alena says that it’s not that hard for her as she absolutely loves her hair.

“It’s not hard for me with my hair, nor the constant care of them, it’s all a joy because this is part of me — my beauty and wealth!” she states.

The woman says that to keep her hair healthy she allows it to dry naturally and uses products to nourish it.

“The main thing that I never do: I don’t dry my hair with a hairdryer, I don’t use curling irons, I don’t comb my wet hair (they dry naturally), it’s all taboo. I wash my hair once a week, use natural masks, various types of oils to nourish my hair; the main care is professional cosmetics. I definitely use dried fruits, nuts, and homemade cottage cheese.”

Her ultimate tip for those who want to have hair as beautiful as hers is to love it. “In order to have long and beautiful hair, you just need to really want and love what you do.”
