Women from formerly isolated ancient ethnic group, who use shampoo you can eat to treat their flowing locks, turn village into tourist hotspot
The remote mountains in southwestern China are home to an ethnic minority whose signature feature is remarkably long hair, which can stretch to as much as two metres in length.
Women of Red Yao, a branch of the Yao ethnic minority in China, live in mountainous hamlets in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.
They only cut their hair on two occasions in life, 100 days after they are born and when they turn 18 years old.
As a result, hair of women aged 60 or above grows to at least one metre in length, with some stretching to more than two metres.
