Real-life Rapunzels

I think these Rapunzels are holding onto some weird concept of beauty, which the rest of the world doesn’t seem to share: just cut it!

Never mind the impracticalities of having hair longer than your waist, it must be a real pain to wash, comb and move with. I imagine it would hurt like hell when people stand on it too. In my opinion, it is a scary looking fetish gone way too far. I think most of you would agree, no? Otherwise, please help me, inform me of this weird fascination with growing your hair freakishly long.
