“I’m so excited and a little bit nervous because I don’t know how I’m looking in the new hairstyle. So, let’s see what happens, but I hope it’s going to be amazing,” Nilanshi said in the video, just before her haircut.
“My hair has given me a lot. But it’s time to cut it. I’ll miss you a lot, buddy,” Nilanshi adds further.
According to reports, Rapunzel started growing her hair when she was just six-year-old. When asked about what prodded her to grow her hair, Rapunzel stated that she had a very bad experience at a hair salon when she was just six years old. Since then, she has never had a haircut.
Nilanshi had had three options after her haircut. She could auction it off, donate it to charity for cancer patients, or donate it to a museum. But, she decided to donate it to a museum.
As per her decision, her hair was later donated to a museum. It was the decision of her mother to donate her hair to the museum as her story was inspirational and can be a great source of example for other girls.
Meanwhile, Nilanshi’s mother has also promised to donate her hair to the cancer patients.
