Guangxi red Yao women only cut their hair once in a lifetime, how do they take care of their hair?

Guangxi Hongyao women only cut their hair once in a lifetime, and they wash their hair with special rice water, which ensures that their hair seldom falls out, is tougher, and stays clean for a long time without hiding dirt, which ensures that they don't have to detangle their hair as often, and thus becomes the first long-haired village in the country. But from a girl's point of view, the feeling of keeping long hair is really not beautiful, but since this is a tradition of the Red Yao people, the local people still have to abide by it, right?

I, the world's first long-haired village.

Located in Guizhou's Huangluo Yaozhai, there is a stone at the entrance of the village, which says the world's first long-haired village, in this village out of the women, the per capita hair length of 1.4, and even some people's hair longer than their height. This village is a branch of the Yao people in Guangxi, known as the Red Yao people, in this village, there are different customs.

Two, women cut their hair only once in their lives.

In this village, there is an unwritten rule that women only cut their hair once in their life, and this only chance to cut their hair occurs when they reach adulthood, that is, at the age of eighteen, and from eighteen onwards women will no longer cut their hair. But so long hair, if put on our ordinary people, is certainly difficult to accept, but for the red Yao women are different, they have homemade rice water, with this rice water wash hair, you can keep the hair tough and beautiful, will not hide dirt, to keep a very long time clean.

Three, long hair is a beautiful symbol.

Maybe many people do not understand, obviously so inconvenient, why do you want to keep long hair? In fact, long hair is a symbol of wealth and longevity for the women of the Red Yao tribe, because they feel that the longer the hair, the longer the life, the richer they will be, and under the influence of this concept, they will not cut their hair, but rather, they will put their hair up in a high coil and become a bun.
