It looks like fairy tales really do come true. Katy White, a 12-year-old girl from Wales, has grown her hair to three feet, four inches long. According to the Daily Mail, Katy's hair falls to the back of her knees, and it takes her an hour to wash her golden locks. She has only had her hair trimmed three times in her entire life — it's so long that she usually keeps it in one thick braid. Check out all of the incredible photos of this real-life Rapunzel.

Katy keeps her hair in a braid when practicing Choi Kwang Do, but the long plait sometimes acts like a whip when she turns around.
