MILAN, ITALY: Massimo decided he wanted long hair when he was 12. MEET THE male Rapunzel who is constantly hounded for selfies by strangers thanks to his luscious three-feet-three-inch-long locks and he says the secret to his glossy mane is a VEGAN DIET. Producer Massimo Volpe (34) from Milan, Italy, turns heads wherever he goes thanks to his stunning three-feet-three-inch-long hair. Massimo made the decision to grow his hair long when he was just 12 years old after he was influenced by the punk, metal, and EBM music scenes - which is where he also got his passion for black clothing from. For Massimo, his hair is a great icebreaker and for the most part, people are intrigued to learn why he decided to grow his hair so long and how he looks after it. Massimo is often stopped in the street and asked to pose for selfies with strangers who admire his hair and he is happy to oblige. When he was younger people would often make sexist jokes about his hair. Massimo never took these comments to heart and doesn?t understand why long hair should be indicative of someone?s gender. To look after his hair, Massimo avoids heat and takes care when he brushes it to prevent breakage. He does a hair mask twice a month to nourish his locks and believes his vegan diet, which he has been following for 15 years, is the secret to his fabulous hair.
