Lou Mungiele: Meet the 6-year-old with incredible Rapunzel hair

Lou Mungiele is only 6-years-old, but has already become Instagram famous due to her luxurious mane of thick wavy hair. The Belgian native has hair that reaches over 20 inches long — it’s so luxe that some strangers even ask Lou’s mom Gisele if it’s a wig.

“When people meet Lou, their typical reaction is woah, beautiful, fantastic … It’s true hair? It’s not possible,” Gisele, who is half Belgian-half Congolese, told Yahoo Canada. “We tried to cut (her hair) some years ago, she did not accept it. We cut 10 centimetres and it was a catastrophe for her! She cried and I (had) to buy her a gift.”

Perhaps it’s a good thing the scissors doesn’t touch Lou’s hair much — the 6-year-old has garnered hundreds of followers on Instagram due to her famous tresses and has even landed modelling contracts.

Lou’s page showcases her hair in a variety of cute styles: half-up-half-down, ponytails, French braids and even top buns — where she kinda channels North West.

As for maintenance, Gisele tells us that she washes her daughter’s hair every week and then conditions it in oil for almost three hours to help detangle it. She thoroughly brushes Lou’s hair and plaits it in two braids for bedtime and for school. For modelling shoots, Lou seems to have a bit of fun and lets her mane of curls run wild.
