A Jamaican man has put Rapunzel to shame while showing off his long dreadlocks that he spent 40 years growing.
Footage of the unidentified local standing on top of a building and waving his ombre-colored hair was shared on the @jamaicaviralofficial Instagram page on Monday.
The bearded man was dressed in a T-shirt and shorts paired with boots, and he had a pink towel wrapped around his shoulders.
It’s unclear why the man was on the roof, but he may have scaled to the structure to show the great length of his dreadlocks.
