In Huangluo Yao Village, Guangxi, generations of Red Yao women have preserved a unique long-hair tradition, earning their village the nickname of "Long Hair Village."

Below mountain waterfalls, women continue to care for their hair using natural methods passed down through generations. More than a symbol of beauty, their long hair reflects cultural heritage and identity.
