In old times, long hair was seen as a symbol of wisdom. People believed the hair had some psychic powers that gave people the ability to think.

While this hasn’t been scientifically proven, many women of Huangluo village, in the Guangxi Zhuang region, seem to buy into the idea as they have managed to keep their hair long, voluminous and shiny for many years.

Eijnsight reports that, in 2017, the Guinness Book of World Records named the place as the 'world’s longest hair village.' Women who hail from the Yao ethnic group and live in the town are said to have an average hair length of 1.5 meters.

Also, the senior women in the town still rock shiny, black hairs instead of the usual gray color. What, then, is the secret to this Rapunzel-like look?

The constant use of fermented rice water is apparently responsible for their lengthy and shiny hair. This fermented solution is mixed with natural ingredients, such as ginger and tea seeds, and used as a shampoo.

The rice water is rich in vitamin B, and this boosts the melanin production of the hair. The added tea seeds contain various amino acids that serve as active surface agents that remove specks of dirt.
