The secret of the 'Long Hair' village

For the Red Yao women of Guangxi, southern China, hair is far more than a mark of beauty – it's a living narrative of identity, lineage, and nature. Each stage of life is reflected in how they wear it, carrying the memory of their families and the wisdom of their ancestors. Their time-honored rice-water hair care ritual is not just a beauty secret – it's a thread connecting generations, preserving ecological knowledge passed down through centuries. Join CGTN host Julian Waghann and Filipina singer Eliza Arce as they step into Huangluo Yao Village, known as the "World's Longest Hair Village," to uncover the stories and traditions behind the Red Yao's legendary long hair.
