Long and thick hair is often considered a symbol of beauty for women, and many take great care to maintain it. What happens when a woman neglects to wash her hair for years? Naturally, it would become tangled and unkempt. Today, we present a video of a woman who hadn’t washed her hair for an extended period. Her hair had become so matted that it resembled an elephant’s trunk. By the state of her hair, it appears she hadn’t washed it in over a decade. When she finally attempted to wash it with shampoo after all those years, the result was astonishing. In the viral video, you can initially see what looks like an elephant’s trunk, with a woman standing behind it. It almost seems as though she’s holding the trunk, but as the camera pulls back, the startling reality is revealed. The “trunk” is actually the woman’s hair, which had become matted and dirt-encrusted after years of neglect.
Her hair had clumped together so tightly that it formed a shape strikingly similar to an elephant’s trunk. Recognising the state of her hair, people decided to help her wash it. Shampoo was applied to her hair as she stood in front of a wash basin.
The woman attempted to wash her hair with shampoo, but she ended up using the entire container without any noticeable improvement. Her hair remained unchanged, still heavily matted and tangled. The woman in the video is named Gustavo Franco, and she shared this video on Instagram, where it has garnered over 110 million views. The video has also received more than 93,000 likes and has been shared by thousands of people. Additionally, the video has attracted over 4,700 comments. Some commenters speculated that she might have never washed her hair in her life, while others suggested that she should cut her hair off at the roots.
One commenter, Jerome Thompson, remarked that he could imagine different insects living in her hair, while another user humorously suggested that a concrete breaker should be used along with the shampoo.
