Pictures of very long hair

A few weeks ago, while shopping on Fonthill Road in Finsbury Park in north London, I met Sonia who works in one of the shops down there. We started talking and I was admiring her hair, which comes down to her thigh. Sonia kindly let me take some pictures of her hair and I promised to put them online. Sonia, I hope you are reading this.

So here they are....

I asked Sonia what the secret to her long rapunzel-like locks are and she gave me the following hair tips...

Puts oil on her hair - Almond oil and coconut oil. She wraps the hair with hot towels when the oil has been applied to the hair. This is the equivalent to steaming the hair.

Use oil on the hair as a pre-conditioner - Before you shampoo your hair, probably a day before, apply oil (coconut or almond) to your hair ends and then shampoo and condition the hair afterwards to give it a silky, glossy and smooth appearance.

Don't cut it! - Sonia has never cut her hair.
I am not really sure that I can go without cutting my hair personally as I get split ends sometimes.

When you are going to sleep at night, wrap your hair to protect it and stop it rubbing against the pillow. This will ensure that the ends do not get damaged.
I am sure this is not all, but as Sonia was working I had to let her get on with her work, although we had fun taking the pictures and trying to stop the wind from blowing the hair while I was trying to take them.

Note: You can buy coconut oil from health food shops.
