A woman who claims to have received 500 marriage proposals this year alone says that – despite the attention she receives – she still struggles to date.
Jasmine Larsen has built a following of 130,000 followers on Instagram thanks to her impressive hair, which measures 4ft 7ins.
The Bristolian content creator previously shared how she was offered £250,000 by one follower to chop off her lengthy locks – which she turned down.

Known as ‘Britain’s real-life Rapunzel’, Jasmine says that while she is inundated with male attention, it doesn’t stop her from having trouble finding love.
“I’m definitely getting more proposals than last year – I’ve had around 500,” she told What’s The Jam.
“Honestly, I’m getting a bit tired of them and usually tell these guys to find someone they truly connect with in person.
“I’m not into dating through social media or apps, let alone marrying someone based on a few photos – it just feels strange.
“And, of course, there are still rich men who try to impress me by showing off their wealth.

“[Men] have been relentless, growing more persistent and eager to marry me.
“Meanwhile, I’m over here struggling to date!”
Jasmine, who is single, hasn’t been lucky in love – despite not being shy of attention.

She said: “I used to be on Tinder but decided to delete it.
“It felt like I was constantly attracting either rich guys who couldn’t stop talking about their money or those with unusual fetishes.
“Honestly, I’d much rather meet someone in person and let things develop naturally.
“I’ve also realised that having great photos on dating apps can sometimes backfire – people either put you on a pedestal or become overly fixated.
“Plus, I’ve been attracting wealthy, showy men who flaunt their money 24/7, which has definitely turned me off from dating.
“It’s really made me rethink dating entirely!”
But far from feeling down about being single, Jasmine said she is currently living her “best life” and enjoying time with friends.
She says dating is “not on her radar right now”.
Meanwhile, fans have been bombarding her with some rather unusual requests, as well as encouraging her to donate her “priceless” locks.
Jasmine said: “I’ve gotten some truly bizarre requests, like being asked to wrap my hair around a camera, send my hairbrush through the mail, or even collect the hair that naturally falls out and send it to them.
“It’s also strange when other women express negativity or insist that I should donate my hair.
“I made a follow-up video in response, which sparked a conversation about the right to keep our hair and the judgment women face for such choices.
“Many shared their own experiences, emphasizing that it’s strange how people feel entitled to have opinions on something so personal.
“This discussion grew into a broader topic about how women are judged for all aspects of their lives – hair, weight, fashion, and more.”
Jasmine, who is currently building her company, LARS Haircare, has been growing her tresses since 2017 and recently had her first haircut – though it was just a short trim.
She said: “Approximately 5-10 cm was trimmed from my hair to remove breakage and create a more even, polished look at the ends.
“The hairdressers did an excellent job, removing just the right amount to freshen up my ends without significantly affecting my length – a common concern for girls with long hair when getting trims at a salon.
“To make sure this didn’t happen, I came prepared with a measuring tape and emphasised repeatedly that I only wanted 5-10 cm off.
“It [now] feels absolutely amazing.”
