15. Addicted To Growing Her Hair
Asha has a potentially dangerously unhealthy addiction to growing her hair. She has not cut it in 25 years, meaning her hair has grown to be about 21 feet long. Asha used a staggering 24 bottles of shampoo a month keeping her hair clean, and it weighs in at 25 pounds when wet.
She has become completely attached to her hair, even nicknaming it “Mr. Cobra.”
When talking about it, Asha said “It’s my baby, my sweetheart, my crown. It makes me feel unique. one of a kind — a living legend. I am the Black Rapunzel, I talk to him a lot, I stroke him a lot, and yeah, I do kiss him a lot, too. It’s Mr. Cobra.”
Doctors had warned Asha that carrying around that much weight on her head, neck and shoulders could lead to nerve damage, but she has no plans to cut her hair.
Asha appeared on the TLC series My Strange Addiction and ever since, people have been hounding Asha to find out what hair care products she uses, what her hair care routine is, and how they can grow their hair to be long and strong.
