To Celebrate The Beauty Of Women With Long Hair, This Photographer Captured 30 Unique Portraits
Interview
Today, we’re presenting a truly unique series of photographs by Irina Werning from Argentina. For 17 years, she has dedicated her work to capturing creative portraits of long-haired women. The project, titled "Dear Long Hair," showcases various images of children and adults who share one distinctive feature: extremely long hair.
The author told us more about the genesis of starting the project: “For indigenous communities, hair is the physical manifestation of our thoughts and an extension of ourselves, and the same is true with the thoughts of Mother Earth like plants growing and rivers flowing in nature. This relationship is based on a profound spiritual connection to Earth that guided indigenous communities to practice reverence, humility, and reciprocity.”
Scroll down to see a collection of unique images, and to discover more about the project and the photographer behind it.

When I see long hair like this I just think it's in desperate need of a trim.

There's nothing like those little tiptoe hugs when they reach up for you...

Makes me think of the adorable Hamza from Strictly Come Dancing - he used to have to tuck his immensely long braids in like this when he was dancing. What a guy!

Noooo thank you. The weight. The mess. The maintenance. It is so hard to keep clean, and you always have to compensate for it. I've had cousins whose parents wouldn't let them cut their hair. It was like a prison for them. Most of my aunts and many cousins have pixie cuts so they don't have to deal with hair much at all.

I have waist long hair and I do need to be disciplined to keep well maintained but it is possible. Personally I love my long hair. I normally style it into a bun with crochet bun nets and a scrunchie, or a plait. I also loosely plait my hair at night. I rarely wear it loose as it gets in my face.

I have long hair and love it. My hair goes to my waist. I don't let it get any longer than that because it becomes hard to take care of. My hubby LOVES my long hair and doesn't want me to cut it. It's a personal thing for sure. I wouldn't be able to have hair as long as these gals but good on them if they love it too!

I grow my hair to donate for wigs for children undergoing cancer treatment. I like it long, and I like it short, so I get to alternate.
