BURMA:
(ONLY THUMBNAILS; NO BIG PICS ANYMORE!)
Burma is still a country whose women take a pride in the
length and condition of their hair. The Burmese girls wear their hair in a
curious manner, piling it up on the top of their heads like a brimless top hat.

Some of the Burmese girls still have long locks, although
you can find sometimes somebody with amazingly long hair in the outskirts of
the towns and the rural countryside.

picture is from an old issue of the British “underground” magazine LONDON LIFE
(“A magazine of Fiction, Films and Future Fashions”).
Such long hair was a rarity in 1935 yet, when
this picture was shot. We thought it would be interesting for you despite of
its poor quality.
The unbound tresses of this young girl nearly reach
the ground.
The enlarged, big pictures are available along with some additional photos from the Rapunzel Long Hair Archive collection on our CD “Long Hair Countries, Part 2”. Click the link at left frame “From the Archive”!
