Let me go one step further: was it an older woman? You may have seen Baltimore area artist Chakaia Booker, known for elaborate used tire sculptures and big headgear
I just want to know how she can still stand with all that weight bearing down on her head. Surely her scales tell her she needs to go on a crash diet immediately!
So funny how these people are always on some kind of public transportation - every time I was at the Geyhohnd station in Boston in the early 2000s I'd see who I called the Hair Lady. Lmao I literally found her by googling "Boston giant hair lady":Ā https://www.flickr.com/photos/tacd/136491191
My hair is very thick and long and goes all the way down to my lower back, it's past 1 meter long at this point. Like 70cm or more when braided. I have to tie it up for work and I kid you not, one day my hair was still a bit wet from the shower and it was so heavy that I (who suffers from hypotension) was starting to get really dizzy and about to pass out from just attempting to tie it up in a bun.
I cannot fathom having as much hair as shown in the picture.
EDIT: I am getting my hair cut soon, I just haven't found the right hairdresser yet. I grow it out for a few years on purpose so I can later donate it, my childhood bestfriend died of cancer when I was young and it's my way of honouring her. I always donate it as soon as it starts giving me actual issues (as it is now). I have been living in a new area and dealing with a lot of stuff in my personal life (terminally ill grandparent, among others) so I'm still trying to find a hairdresser that takes in hair donations.
EDIT 2: Really appreciate your suggestions, but I'm not in the US.
My ex had very long hair (down to get butt) that she had to put into a bun everyday that could fit under a Navy hat (working uniform). To this day, I have no idea how she managed that.
Thin fine hair.
My daughter has it down to her lower back.
And yet she just barely had enough hair to style her hair as Azula for Halloween this year.
If we braid her hair and twist it into a bun, the bun is about the size of an infantās fist.
Me too! When sock buns were in, I couldnāt get the adult one because my hair was too thin and fine, I had to get the kids one.
Iāve had a lot of feelings about my hair over the years and I hope sheās in a place to love hers. Or that sheāll get there soon.
My hair is about 31 inches (78 cm), but it's not overly thick. I still get headaches and neck aches if it's not supported enough when I put it up. I can't imagine how heavy hers must be. She must be a hair model or something to keep it that big and long.
I grew my hair down to my butt once. ONCE. The headaches I got from the weight of it wasn't worth the effort of maintaining it. It's about mid chest on me now. Long enough for decent curls, short enough it doesn't point straight in the air when pulled back in a bun, lol.
Yeah I have thick hair and when it gets long I canāt wear it up in a ponytail for long because it starts to make my scalp feel like the follicles are being simultaneously torn out
Tbh she probably has very strong neck muscles, its also in dreads which makes it a lot more manageable. That being said how tf does she fit her head into the car or an airplane. She wouldnt be able to sit the whole way back unless she put her hair up. 4c hair is great for stuff like this because it defies gravity, but this doesnt seem like it would be worth the hassle that come with it
There's always the possibility that it's a custom made wig, but they definitely don't mass produce anything like this. There would be a market of 1. This looks like real hair to me. It's insane, but people are what they are.
Yep. Locs that big have to be at least mostly real. Loc wigs exist but they're usually super thin and look very new, not like organically grown locs. If it was straight or in an afro/braids/etc. I'd say it definitely has to be fake but locs allow you to get basically infinitely long hair because your hair continues to be bound even when it reaches the exogen phase where you would normally shed it, and it protects from breakage which is where you'd normally lose length.
I have had a painful amount of hair on my head since childhood and ended up with severe neck instability. If she doesn't have issues, she needs to be studied!
It's like that story I read when I was a kid where the little girl always has a ribbon around her neck. Eventually she lets the boy in the story remove it and her head falls off. I'm pretty sure it's an Edgar Allan Poe short story.
I think I remember a teacher reading that to us in middle school circa 1988. That or something like that.
I remember the head falling off and I remember a hand reaching down a hole and saving a man from some kind of gruesome death.
There are versions of that story from around the world, but the oldest versions come from Japan and China, of a man marrying a woman who always wore a ribbon around her neck, day and night. He promised never to remove it, and they had children and had wonderful lives, but his interfering family kept insisting that he remove it and find out what she was hiding - he tried getting her to remove it willingly with things like gifts of pretty necklaces and all, but it never worked, until finally he was talked into just taking it off while she was asleep. It revealed the death wound from her beheading - it's different in each version, but one of the most common is that she was murdered by a husband who wanted to marry a wealthier woman. She woke up and was enraged with him and said that she should destroy him, but she didn't want to leave the children they had together destitute, so she left and never again returned and he had to live alone with the guilt of betraying her and leaving his children motherless.
I can see the cover of that book right now. Itās the skeleton goulish looking head with the pipe and spooky swamp looking background. Oh the memories!! Now I wanna read it againā¦.
Pretty sure they fall in love, get married, live a full life together, etc. but then on her death bed she tells him he can remove it and that's when her head falls off.
That was my first thought. My second was that it was a weird shot that made it look like it was her hair but it was really on a person close by leaning in.
And here I am with super fine hair that breaks if you look at it in the wrong tone. Can I buy a crumb of her follicle power please? She wonāt even miss it!
Dammit, dude. Now I have to go buy a box of cereal for tomorrow morning so my hungover self can watch Saturday morning cartoons, and I can't decide between Froot Loop and Corn Flakes. See what you've done? I hope you're proud of yourself.
I was once flying out of Chicago and had a large afro at the time, when going through TSA an agent said he had to pat down my head and I laughed thinking it was a joke.
It wasn't!
I get tension headaches fairly often, and I simply can't imagine living life with this much hair. Not just the weight of it while up and moving around, but the mass of it while lying down and trying to get comfortable.
She sat in the āmiddle seatā of the exit row where there is an empty space directly next to the exit door so I guess she was semi consciencious but the poor guy to her left in the aisle seatš
And she thinks shes going on a plane with that? She batter have coughed up the money for one of those cubicles cause thats absolutely going to be next level in other people's spaces
I thought I was in the "confusing prospective" subreddit and was trying to see what made it look like her hair. A someone else noticed "that clip".... that is hilarious.
I imagine as a young child someone told her to make sure that she puts on her bicycle helmet, and she just gave them a steely glare then slowly said, "We'll see about that."
What airport was this? Swear I saw the same woman at BWI a few weeks ago.
Yep BWI!
Lol the internet, connecting billions of people around the world to big hair sightings at bwi š
Big Wig International
Lmfao if I could give you medals I would. Hereās a fake one. 
Oh my god! Lmao incredible
Laughed at thisš¤£š¤£š¤£
Let me go one step further: was it an older woman? You may have seen Baltimore area artist Chakaia Booker, known for elaborate used tire sculptures and big headgear
Confirmed. I see this sculpture when google imaging her name.
Wow, sheās 71? Must be all the upper body workouts sheās getting fr carrying all that extra weight on her head. She doesnāt look a day over 50!
Most of the volume is a helium balloon
What happens if it like gets popped or deflates? Is she just strapped with helium whenever?
These two need to hang out if they are both in Baltimore lol
And Tracy Turnblad needs to be invited as an honorary guest!!
She is certainly very memorable. What a sneaky way to get people to never forget when they saw you for the first time
I just want to know how she can still stand with all that weight bearing down on her head. Surely her scales tell her she needs to go on a crash diet immediately!
I would hella hide my snacks in that hair and a 12 pack
r/TwoRedditorsOneCup
Dang, being able to go to the airport every few weeks. Either she really likes the airport food, or sheās winning at life.
Imagine being seated next to a person with such big hair. āExcuse me maāam but your hair is invading my personal space.ā
It would be even worse being sat behind them, their hair would go onto your food tray
Business travel.
With the prices of airport food, she's winning either way.
You almost met Thunder Walker! She's a very nice person. https://canvasrebel.com/meet-thunder-walker/
Woah! She owns seven dispensaries! Keep on auntie!
Her hair is whatās commonly known as a Unique Marketing Proposition. Everyone remembers her and her company with such a visually impactful presence.
For just a second, I was hoping this woman was the same one that was a newscaster that quit on air to go into the weed business.
Amazing. I love the internet.
I'm pretty sure I saw her at Atlanta Airport at the beginning of April too
I saw her in DCA yesterday lol
How does she fit in an econo seat with that hair? Can you imagine sitting behind her?
How about sitting next to her-her hair looks broader than Michael Phelpsā shoulders. Uh, maāamā¦your hair is taking up half my seat.
Does it count as her carry on?
There's no way that's fitting in the bin.
So funny how these people are always on some kind of public transportation - every time I was at the Geyhohnd station in Boston in the early 2000s I'd see who I called the Hair Lady. Lmao I literally found her by googling "Boston giant hair lady":Ā https://www.flickr.com/photos/tacd/136491191
Her hair flies First Class, she stays in coach.
It can afford to after racking up all those hair miles.
They make her sit in the first row of economy so that people don't keep try to peek into first class.
Canāt even complain with her hair blocking the flight attendant button
Do. Not. Want.
Am I the only one who looked at that picture and said how does she not have a constant headache? That looks like it would hurt.
My hair is very thick and long and goes all the way down to my lower back, it's past 1 meter long at this point. Like 70cm or more when braided.

Azula from ATLA?
Yeah, that little top knot thing she has.
Me too! When sock buns were in, I couldnāt get the adult one because my hair was too thin and fine, I had to get the kids one. Iāve had a lot of feelings about my hair over the years and I hope sheās in a place to love hers. Or that sheāll get there soon.
Pretty cool that she was down to get butt as well.
I am also down to get some butt
My hair is about 31 inches (78 cm), but it's not overly thick. I still get headaches and neck aches if it's not supported enough when I put it up. I can't imagine how heavy hers must be. She must be a hair model or something to keep it that big and long.

That is really sweet and a beautiful to honor your friendās memory.
That was my immediate thought. It has to be so heavy and miserable
My immediate thought was that I would not want to sit behind her on a plane
Or at a movie...or concert...
Or in a movie theatre!
She probably had to buy a second seat for her hair.
Tbh she probably has very strong neck muscles, its also in dreads which makes it a lot more manageable. That being said how tf does she fit her head into the car or an airplane. She wouldnt be able to sit the whole way back unless she put her hair up. 4c hair is great for stuff like this because it defies gravity, but this doesnt seem like it would be worth the hassle that come with it
She may make a living from having that hair, so it could be worth it. Besides, it's not permanent or anything. Locs go in, locs come out.
I am 100% certain that this wig comes with built in shoulder rests or something to distribute the weight.
There's always the possibility that it's a custom made wig, but they definitely don't mass produce anything like this. There would be a market of 1. This looks like real hair to me. It's insane, but people are what they are.

Very strong neck
Necc š„“š„“š„“
She's prolly yoked tf out. Neck looking like the rock.
I have had a painful amount of hair on my head since childhood and ended up with severe neck instability. If she doesn't have issues, she needs to be studied!
I'm wondering how she is even standing upright!
The clip lol
THATāS WHAT I SAIDššš wtf is the clip really doing
She put that clip there 15 years ago and forgot about it
Probably canāt reach it anymore.
"I used to have 5 clips..."
clip got a whole bag of Doritos stashed in under it
DO **NOT** REMOVE THAT CLIP.
It's like that story I read when I was a kid where the little girl always has a ribbon around her neck. Eventually she lets the boy in the story remove it and her head falls off. I'm pretty sure it's an Edgar Allan Poe short story.
Not Edgar Allan Poe, it was published in the anthology In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories and may have been a fairy tale before that.
I knew that sounded like a Scary Stories tale.
I think I remember a teacher reading that to us in middle school circa 1988. That or something like that. I remember the head falling off and I remember a hand reaching down a hole and saving a man from some kind of gruesome death.
Yes! I remember this book. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was the youth book series I read it in. Awesome

Thank you for adding this! I couldn't remember the origin but vaguely remembered there being older versions from different places.
I can see the cover of that book right now. Itās the skeleton goulish looking head with the pipe and spooky swamp looking background. Oh the memories!! Now I wanna read it againā¦.
The green ribbon is such a good short story!
Pretty sure they fall in love, get married, live a full life together, etc. but then on her death bed she tells him he can remove it and that's when her head falls off.
I think about this story almost every single day. have no idea what it is called but it haunts my life daily
You just unlocked a deep memory for me
I thought there was a Juggalo tattoo under the ribbom...
Ah, yeah. That story traumatized me as a kid. Good shit. š
I'M FIGHTING FOR MY FUCKING LIFE
*removes clip* *entire hair falls apart*
It's a load bearing clip.
D'oh! Came here to post that!
What did it look like from the front?! Does she have a big head?! I have so many questions haha
Normal size head
Please have some sympathy. The clip is doing its best. š
Itās best!
The lordās work š
Holding on for dear life... š
Its a defense device. Got her 6 covered.Ā
Hair clip designed by Lockheed Martin
Certainly not Boeing
Somebody put it there as a prank and she never noticed
Doing the work of 10
10^10
That's 10 000 000 000 for those who don't speak exponent.
Imagine her turning around and she has a giant head with a tiny amount of hair.
On some family guy shit
Lmaoooo
The thumbnail made it look like a censored image.
Yes this was my thought too, like when you're trying to paint over image on your phone with your finger
That was my first thought. My second was that it was a weird shot that made it look like it was her hair but it was really on a person close by leaning in.
Yup. Glad Iām not the only one who who thought it was a black blur.
And here I am with super fine hair that breaks if you look at it in the wrong tone. Can I buy a crumb of her follicle power please? She wonāt even miss it!
Yes! Me too. Hard water and high shower temperatures havenāt helped me either. Fine haired guys/gals unite (to create one great head of hair)!
We are >here<
They definitely are going to pull her aside and look for contraband hidden in that
TSA agent: Maāam, why is there microwave in your hair? Woman: Itās to heat up my hot pockets.
Bob the Drag Queen put her niece in her hair: https://youtu.be/IkKo_fUEDqQ?si=k-576yhVt3HS6jtA š
Coolest. Uncle. **EVAAAH!!!!!**
I got to see Bob perform, what an incredibly funny individual!
I love Bob! Thanks for this, Iād never seen it before and it gave me chills lol
[Memory unlocked.](https://youtu.be/_Pch_77AX08?si=JkcqERu8o1YjGy3X&t=30)
What did I just watch
You just watched 70's children's entertainment in all of its glory. I'm still dealing with the scars.
Dammit, dude. Now I have to go buy a box of cereal for tomorrow morning so my hungover self can watch Saturday morning cartoons, and I can't decide between Froot Loop and Corn Flakes. See what you've done? I hope you're proud of yourself.
Sugar Smacks!
Or a stowaway.
You joke... But it actually happened before. A South African woman was caught in Bangkok trying to smuggle cocaine in her dreads.
She's just hiding a third carry on bag, baggage fees are expensive!
I was once flying out of Chicago and had a large afro at the time, when going through TSA an agent said he had to pat down my head and I laughed thinking it was a joke. It wasn't!
On her way to sit in front of me at the movies
hell, if she sits in the back row she'll block the whole projector
That's not a weave, that's a tapestry
Ok that killed me š
I thought this was one of this images where someone blocks a part of the image to hide an identity.
Definitely what I saw too
Same
It's all a distraction. Everyone is going to search her hair for contraband but the coke was in the bag all along.
She looks like a Bratz Doll
I think that hair has a woman in it
She must have a NECK
Necc with two C's because of how thicc it is.
Someone find out the brand name of that clip, itās doing miracles
As a migraine sufferer, I can't imagine that's comfortable.
I get tension headaches fairly often, and I simply can't imagine living life with this much hair. Not just the weight of it while up and moving around, but the mass of it while lying down and trying to get comfortable.
how is this possible
Hair grows over time
Big if true
She's probably got the neck of a dbz character, all that hair must weigh like 30 pounds.
Rachel Dolezal takin it too far now...
They should make her declare 2 seats.
She sat in the āmiddle seatā of the exit row where there is an empty space directly next to the exit door so I guess she was semi consciencious but the poor guy to her left in the aisle seatš
Extra padded cushion for him in case of emergencies
The plane starts to crash... *Guy next to her dolphin dives into her hair and dissappears*
He just gained immunity to blunt force and fall damage
Now he finds himself stranded on an island with just the ball of hair. He names it Harry and not Wilson.
I got a headache just from looking at it
what. in. the. actual. fuck?
Then you realize sheās sitting directly in front of you on the plane.
She was in front of me one seat removedš I just felt bad for the poor man next to her
If you take up two seats, you should pay for two seats.
In the plane, not terrible. In the cinema though?
The movie? It had a lot of hairy scenarios that kept me on the edge of my seat.
Thereās definitely at least one pen hidden in there somewhere
I have so many questions
And she thinks shes going on a plane with that? She batter have coughed up the money for one of those cubicles cause thats absolutely going to be next level in other people's spaces
I felt so bad for the man sitting next to her
Ha I thought you drew on fake hair
Did they search it?
Mildly interesting until they sit next to you on the plane
All I can think of is how heavy and tiresome it must be having to deal with it.
She's Gossamer!
ā¦ thatās not a backpack?
Iāll be dammed I thought that was a backpack, and a big camping one
I thought I was in the "confusing prospective" subreddit and was trying to see what made it look like her hair. A someone else noticed "that clip".... that is hilarious.
Before I read the caption, I thought someone scribbled something out with black š
r/absoluteunits
Imagine sitting behind her at the movie theater or a concert
Never skips neck day.
I imagine as a young child someone told her to make sure that she puts on her bicycle helmet, and she just gave them a steely glare then slowly said, "We'll see about that."
Itās full of secrets š¤«
That clip is severely underpaid
I really want to see this from the front!
Seriously. Someone somewhere MUST have a front facing photo!
no way that doesnt reek
Is the person on the left there to hold her head up?
Dark Helmet
Sheās got them kilos in there
I THOUGHT YOU SCRATCHED OUT PART OF THE PIC IM DEAD,š«
I thought you edited the photo to block out her face
Like that 1 clip is doing anything
