Having long beautiful hair is definitely something to be proud of, not unless it becomes too long and starts to become frizzy and dry. That is the reason why we need to maintain a good hair length, as well as healthy hair habits.

Meet Charles and Michele, a couple from Wanaque, New Jersey. They have one thing in common, and that’s their long hair. When we say long, we mean really long hair.

Last year, they were featured on the Rachael Ray Show, and together, they were about to get a major make-over. A make-over that will not only give them a new look but will definitely change their lives.

Charles and Michele admitted that they didn’t really pay attention to their hair for many years, and for them, this is the time to finally embrace change.

Charles’ hair was really long but quite beautiful too. According to him, he used to play in a band, and he’s really used to having long hair. The last time he decided to cut it was over 10 years ago, where he donated his hair to Locks of Love.

He’s a simple guy who loves music, his hair, and he mostly wears simple t-shirts and pants. At the age of 58, you may ask why now? What made Charles decide to do a make-over?

According to his interview, Charles will be dealing with more people in the corporate world now, and of course, he wants to play the part of being a professional employee.

“I deal with a lot of people on a corporate level now, and I’d really like to look more the part,” Charles shared.

He also said that his daughter doesn’t think of him as the “cool” type of dad, so now, he’ll make sure that she does.

Michele, on the other hand, shared that she works as a lunch lady, which meant that she wears her day to day uniform. The nature of her work didn’t really give her the freedom to play around with her hair, but now that she’s in her 50’s, she thinks it’s time to feel better about herself.

“When I go out with my friends they all look so glamorous and I kind of feel like the frumpy mom type,” says Michele.

According to her, she has kept her hair this long for 21 years, even older than their daughter, who would soon be turning 17 years old.

“His hair — I mean this really nicely — it’s like a horse’s tail. It’s unbelievable. You’re so lucky. It’s gorgeous,” Tabatha tells everyone, admiring Charles’ hair.

The hairdresser even allowed Rachael Ray to try and cut one of the four ponytails that they had done with Charles. According to the hairdresser, Charles’ hair was so thick that she couldn’t get her scissors to cut it.
