A woman – dubbed a ‘real-life Rapunzel’ – has revealed how men from across the world offer her up to £200,000 for locks of her lengthy flaming-red hair.
Haircare influencer and entrepreneur Jasmine Larsen, who is in her late twenties, from Bristol, has made a successful career of her 4ft 3inches hair.

From receiving offers for cuts of her hair to marriage proposals, Jasmine’s private messages on Instagram are flooded with requests – she says one person even offered her a staggering $250,000 to sell her hair to them.

After completing her studies in biochemistry from UCL, Jasmine worked as an editor for some time before she realised that her hair had the potential to carve out a successful career for her.
Along with a stream of positive messages, Jasmine’s inbox is always brimming with advances from men who either offer her money to sell her hair or they propose marriage to her.
‘I used to receive lots of requests to cut my hair for money,’ she said. ‘I’ve also received many DMs from guys wanting personal hair videos for a sum of money. Sometimes they request hairstyles that happen to be a fetish of theirs, such as buns.
‘One guy made a video of a cartoon character slowly eating my long hair. More recently, I’ve been receiving lots of marriage proposals from all sorts of men.

‘Some of them mention their wealth and how they can provide for me. They live luxurious lives and think they can get any woman they desire with their riches but it is always a big no for me.’
Jasmine also deals with negative comments – as some suggest she is ‘selfish’ or a ‘narcissist’ to have such long hair.
‘Some people refuse to believe that this is my natural hair or even hair colour,’ she said. ‘They say that they think my hair is super greasy and gross. They even call me selfish to keep all this hair when there’s people with cancer who need a wig.
‘It’s funny that they accuse me of being a ‘gross narcissist’ for having long hair,’ she added.

‘Out of my five siblings, I’m the only one with red hair,’ said Jasmine. ‘Both my parents are Turkish, but I was born and raised in Bristol, England. Growing up, my mum would always plait my hair for school.
‘I wasn’t fond of this hairstyle at the time and wanted a ponytail instead, but now I’m thankful she chose a protective hairstyle. I’ve been wearing the braid almost every day for the past few years.
‘It keeps the strands moisturised and protected from environmental factors that can lead to dryness and frizz.’
‘I’ve always liked long hair since I was a little girl,’ Jasmine (pictured) said. ‘I always felt sad after getting a haircut so let my hair grow after my last one in late 2017.’
‘Many people want to know my hair growth secret and I keep telling them it’s a combination of things like sticking to a consistent hair care routine,’ she said
