Long Hair Festival, Huangluo

The Red Yao women of Huangluo, famous for hair that can reach the floor, show it off at the Sanyuesan festival in spring.

Huangluo is a Red Yao village in Longsheng county near Guilin, in Guangxi. Its women traditionally cut their hair only once, around the age of 18, and keep the cut hair to wind into their style later; many wear hair well over a metre long, washed in fermented rice water and wrapped around the head. The way it is worn tells others whether a woman is single, married or a mother. On Sanyuesan, the third day of the third lunar month, the village holds a long hair festival with hair-washing and styling displays, antiphonal singing and dancing. In 2026 it fell on 19 April.
