Mum Tere Lynn Svetlecich Russell, 43, and her daughters have a combined hair length of over FOUR METRES - like a family of real life Rapunzels. The mother-of-five has had flowing locks since she was a toddler and still has it today because it drives husband Chip, 47, wild. Amazingly, she is forced to wash it by kneeling every time because it DRAGS her to the floor when wet. But most of the time her tresses are winning her acclaim across Illinois state where she regularly scoops first place in 'Longest Pony Tail Competitions' at annual fetes and fairs - and now her girls are following in her footsteps.
At it's longest, Tere Lynn's hair cascades over her shoulders at an incredible 74 inches. Her eldest Callan, 11, sports 36 3/4 (thirty-six and three-quarter) inch locks, while Cendalyn, nine, is just behind with a straight 36-inch hairdo. Chesney, six, is catching up with a 26 1/4 (twenty-six and one-quarter)-inch mane, while adorable Chapin, one, has the beginnings of a sprout too.
Apart from little Chapin, each of the females use a quarter-bottle of conditioner every time they wash their hair. Tere Lynn often accidentally slams her hair in car doors, gets it sucked up when vacuum cleaning at home, and the kids are always standing on it. But she keeps it for Chip, who first asked her on a date as a teenager because of her luscious long locks. Last week the mum and daughters took their first EVER trip to a hair salon - to show the girls what it was like as a treat. Tere Lynn's mum Patricia, 69, has been the only person to cut her hair since she was born, and Tere Lynn is carrying on the tradition with her own girls.
Comm Meet real life, Rapunzel Tere, Lynn, Svetlecich, Russell who's. Hair is an incredible seventy four inches long., The mum of five, has been growing. Her locks, all her life and her daughters, Callan, Cendalyn and Chesney are following in her footsteps.. Today they have more than thirteen feet of hair between them and grooming can prove a mammoth task.. The girls use as much as a quarter of a bottle of conditioner each time they wash their manes. TERE LYNN, My daughters, shampoo, their hair in the shower, and I will stand there with the handheld sprayer. I, however, do not shampoo my hair in the shower.. I tried that once several years ago and my hair got so heavy with all of the water I landed on the shower floor. COMM Tere Lynn said it was her well groomed hair, which first attracted husband Chip when the pair were teenagers. CHIP. She had amazing hair, which was something that was. It was very eye catching appealing to me. COMM And the family put their best assets to good use, winning awards at long hair competitions in their home state Illinois, USA., TERE LYNN. These are some of the ribbons that I've gotten over the last fifteen or so years, and it's become quite the tradition every August for us to go to the state fair. COMM. Despite their hair obsession, none of the family have ever been to a hair salon. But that's about to change. Today, they're paying their first ever visit, but instead of chopping their long locks, they've settled for a day of pampering and a day of treatments. SHANTEL. I think this long hair is amazing. I'Ve never seen this much long hair in one room. The hair is so healthy all the way to the floor. It'S fantastic! It'S a phenomenon., TERE LYNN. So this is a new experience. I'Ve never been to a salon. Before. TERE LYNN, It's a little painful, but it's SHANTEL. Are you? Okay? Tere LYNN? Oh I'm! Fine! I'M fine. COMM Six year old Chesney has already said she wants to shorten her mane by as much as ten inches but hasn't plucked up the courage, just yet. WOMAN. How much are you cutting off CHESNEY Uh, ten inches. WOMAN? You are CHESNEY, But not today., WOMAN. Not today, TERE LYNN, Chesney is ready to have her hair trimmed a little bit more than a trim. I think there are days when she says `` Mom. It'S too long. I want my hair short and that's all there is to it'' and then there's days where we talking about it seriously, ``. No. I want my hair long Mom.'', COMM And Tere Lynn may have had a lifetime of long locks, but she says she won't force her daughters to grow their hair, forever. TERE LYNN, It's not gon na be my decision. It'S gon na be there's, but I want them to be mature enough to make that decision for themselves.
Comments
Dead channel lol: Jeez, imagine what they go through on really windy days...
Pillow: Imagine if one of them got lice
Molly Fox: Glad to hear she lets her daughters decide if they want long hair or not. Lots of moms out here forcing their children to look a certain way for attention.
Ireland Gerlach: How do you sleep...... that’s a choking hazard
plot twist tea: “Mum can I dye my hair”
???: When people dry their hair Short hair: 6 2 minutes Long hair: 1 hour Rapunzel hair: ∞
delsoz palani: I wonder how the mom feels when she wakes up and her hair is all tangled
EMOJIGIRL ANIMATIONS: Someone commented that their hair looks damaged at the end. This is most likely because of "split ends" which are basically when one strand of hair splits into two strands. Apparently you should always cut split ends because that part is unhealthy and damaging. Trimming off the split ends will help your hair grow healthier and faster! :)
Hey: Bruh I can't even get my hair the length of the youngest girl Edit:omg thx for all the likes
KAKAKS: That Family: goes to a hotel and forgets shampoo and conditioner. *Calls services* Family: hello can we have 300 bottles of shampoo and conditioner please?

Spoon: I love how they act as if this is abnormal. It’s really not rocket science to grow hair this long. Just gotta take care of it and be patient
Real Rapunzels: Great video, great family, great hair!❤️
Lucy Licht: I decided to keep my hair long in late 2019 and now it's 66 cm long (26 inches). I have a goal in reaching 1 meter tho. ✨

Satnam Waheguru ji: I’m a Sikh and I kept my hair for 13yrs(still keeping them) mine are as tall as the 3rd oldest sister and yea I bet no one can relate
Mariya B: So beautiful,
Alice Jones: I’m glad the mother is letting her kids decide eventually, that’s finally some good parenting. I see some comments saying that she should just stop being so ridiculous, that “it’s just hair”, but to this family it’s not just hair. It’s a crucial part of their family legacy. But at least the mother is giving the decision to the kids and leaving it up to them.
Mark Ferrie: Stranger holding scissors: I'm boutaa end this woman whole career

Catra 💃: Man u can even see the mother having muscles from all the hair brushing and washing she does

Rainbow bun: My hair is up to my thighs. It is the same colour as theirs but a lot thicker. I only wash it once a week because it takes several hours to. It is generally healthy, exempt when I am stressed, and I don’t think I will ever want to cut or dye it.
NTL_MJ: "she HAD amazing hair" umm she still does my dude

bunny: fun fact: my hair used to be as long as the shortest girl in the family! however i cut it a few months ago, i’m 12 now.
Alice D: “I want them to be mature enough to make that decision for themselves.” You mean cut their hair? I don’t think it that big of a deal. The fact that she’s making it a big deal influences what her daughters do. Her daughters grow up thinking long hair is sacred and valued…
Line Danzer: Locks For Love would cherish this family forever!
Maier Stacks: “The ladies sneaking up behind the Mom with scissors” I’m about to end this woman’s whole career

Rodrigo Serra: Imagine if they became metalheads
Angela Hall: So much for instilling individuality in her children. She is using them as an extension of herself. We want our children to be themselves. She says she wants them to make their own decisions but then said they have VA serious talk about it and they decide to keep their hair long. By serious she means, she convinces them to keep it long.
No One In Particular: I’m Crow, and long hair is a cultural thing for my family and tribe. When my mom started chemo, she was so sad that her hair was so broken because of her cancer that it couldn’t be made into a wig. I cut off three feet of my hair and had it made into a wig for her. On her first day of chemo, I showed it to her and she cried. We spent the whole time she was getting her infusion braiding shells into it. Her hair is starting to grow back now, and she’s already started looking for new beads and shells to braid in once it’s long enough.
mel: I am a trained hair stylist and i have to say, they have some very healthy looking hair execpt for the ends. the lil girl was right.. a good 10 inches could be a game changer
Samurai Levi: From what I hear, long hair can cause massive headaches. I hope that doesn’t happen to them.
Lily Sophie: The problem is, if you don't really cut your hair till that age you realise that your hair is attracting so much attention you just can't get yourself to cut it off.
Lola Jubb: wow! I feel bad for then. That must be a pain. My old bestest friend called Ria had hair down to her backside. She has moved schools now! :(
