A 5ft 8in security guard who has not seen a hairdresser in 15 years told how
her blonde hair is now two inches longer than she is.
Her amazing 5ft 10in mane is a massive hit on Instagram, where Stefanie
Classen's photos - taken by her boyfriend Ralph Kopitz, 29, an IT technician have attracted 2,000 followers.
Likening herself to Rapunzel - the fairy-tale princess who escapes from a tower
by lowering her endless hair down for her rescuer to climb up - Stefanie, 31, of
Dusseldorf, Germany, said: "I've always associated having long hair with being
beautiful.
"As soon as I became an adult, I made the conscious decision to stop getting it
cut.
"Now my hair's down to my ankles, I'm constantly getting Ralph to take photos.
"We're both very creative and the longer my hair grew, the more I wanted to
show it off in different scenarios.
"I'll often come up with an idea in my head and Ralph will help execute it."
Wearing her hair short throughout her early teens, when Stefanie turned 16, in
2005, she made the decision to grow it.
She said: "My parents never let me grow my hair any longer than my shoulders.
"I suppose it was easier for them to manage, but as soon as I became an adult
I knew I wanted to grow it long, to see how it would look."
After three years without having it cut professionally, Stefanie's hair had
reached her shoulders and she loved the result.
"It was down to my shoulders and it really did make me feel prettier," she
continued.
"I guess in a way I felt like I was taking back control - it was part of my journey
into adulthood."
Washing her hair twice a week, Stefanie says that is the easy part - it is drying
it that can take hours.
"I use regular shampoo and conditioner,
