A Romanian woman who has been growing her hair since she was 16 has weaved an entire wardrobe from her own lengthy locks.

71-year-old Ioana Cioanca allowed her hair to reach 40 inches in length before she chopped it off and used it on the loom.

Cioanca, of Bistrita Nasaud, said: "Long years I had to wait for my hair to grow so as to make clothes from it but I managed and I am very pleased now.

"Maybe there are other women who did this but I don't know if they have so many items. I have nine of them: a hat, a shawl, a skirt, a blouse, a raincoat, a purse, a handbag and a pair of gloves."

According to Ananova, the pensioner described the finished garments as "quite warm and comfortable".

That must have been a nightmare to wash and dry 40 inches of hair.

Wonder if she washes the clothes in shampoo rather than soap powder

It might not be easy to buy clothes in Romania where she lives or she is poor and can't afford to.

but it seems like it took her 55yrs to grow it? was it really worth it? and surely she would have needed clothes before now?
