A real-life Rapunzel has been left living in fear after losing her seven-foot-long hair due to a devastating diagnosis. Rin Kambe's luscious locks began to disappear after she was diagnosed with alopecia areata and started seeing chunks of her hair dropping out. The 43-year-old, who is a dancer, is well-known on Instagram for her glorious hair - and has over 114,000 followers on the social media platform. But earlier this year, her life started to change after she was diagnosed with the autoimmune condition.

"There were days when it was so hard that I didn't even want to go to the supermarket. I was afraid and filled with fear.

"Now that I think about it, I think they were the days when I couldn't fully accept what was happening to me."

"While I was unable to work on stage due to the coronavirus, my long hair supported my life. "I'd spend three hours a day caring for my hair with shampoo, treatment and a hairdryer – and my hair was my treasure.
