We kick off this episode by meeting Alia, who is originally from Russia but currently resides in the United States.

Alia shares with us how she started growing her hair when she was 17 years old and since then, has never looked back. She goes on to say how challenging it can be to maintain her hair, but at the same time, she finds it therapeutic. Alia’s hair is so long that when she walks, she actually has to pick it up so it doesn't drag on the floor.

Alia's hair is not only long, but it is also quite thick and curly. She has found that it requires a lot of care to stay healthy and strong. Alia uses different oils and masks to keep her hair moisturized and avoid breakage. She also spends a lot of time detangling her hair, which can take up to 2 hours, using a specially made comb.

We also meet Alia’s husband, who helps her with the maintenance of her hair. He oils her hair and massages her scalp, which she says is essential to the health of her hair. Alia also shares how having long hair can put a strain on her neck and back and how she has to be mindful of how she sleeps to avoid any damage to her hair.

Another aspect this episode touches upon is Alia's career as a hair model. She often gets hired for hair shows where stylists use her hair to create different styles. Alia tells us how she loves being part of something creative and exciting that showcases the beauty of hair. Her hair has also brought her to the attention of famous celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, who has commented on how amazing her hair is.

Toward the end of the episode, we see Alia get a haircut, which is a big deal since she has not cut her hair in over 7 years. She explains how the weight of her hair can sometimes give her headaches and how cutting it off will ease the pressure on her neck and back. Alia says she is excited to donate her hair to a charity that makes wigs for people who have lost their hair due to cancer.

Overall, this episode is a fascinating insight into the world of a real-life Rapunzel who has dedicated over a decade to growing her hair.
