She stopped getting her hair cut a decade ago following a bad experience at her salon
Nilanshi said she cares for her hair like every other teenager - but with help from her mother Kaminibenat (pictured)
She said: 'At six, I had a very bad experience at a local salon. Since then I have been apprehensive about cutting my hair.
'My parents accepted my wishes and now my locks have become my lucky charm.'
Nilanshi has to wear high-heeled shoes if she does not want her hair to touch the ground.
Apart from that, Nilanshi said she cares for her hair like every other teenager - but with help from her mother, Kaminibenat.
'I do what every teenager does. Wash the hair every week and oil it once or twice a week,' the aspiring engineer said, adding that she dries it by sitting in the sun or with a hairdryer.
'Mostly I keep a braid, but while playing or for some occasions, I tie the hair into a bun. The only time I have trouble is while swimming.'
