A new pageant is looking for a real life Rapunzel, and she's got to be young.
The Miss Longest Hair competition in Lithuania seeks to find the girl with the longest hair in the country, with girls as young as seven competing for the title. Some show off hair that cascades down to the floor, while others have it tied up in bizarre styles such as sticking out in all directions supported by chopsticks.
Hopefully they take healthy hair into consideration. If long hair is ratty, it's never beautiful. Plus, prince charming couldn't well climb up a rope of damaged, split-end infested hair now, could he?
