Romanian woman Ortansa Pascariu is the proud owner of a very unusual piece of wardrobe – a vest made of her own hair! Ortansa had been collecting fallen strands of her hair for 20 years, and when she thought she had enough, she decided to use it for a unique garment.
來自羅馬尼亞的奧爾坦薩?帕斯卡留女士很是自豪，因為她擁有一件非同尋常的衣服——一件由她自己的頭發制成的背心！奧爾坦薩收集掉落的頭發已經20年了。當她覺得頭發足夠時，便決定用自己的頭發做一件獨一無二的衣服。

The 65-year-old revealed that she started collecting her hair in accordance with a tradition followed in her hometown of Stauceni, in the north-eastern part of Romania. The practice suggests that women should never throw away their hair if they want to retain their beauty and good luck.
奧爾坦薩今年65歲，來自羅馬尼亞東北部小鎮斯特烏切尼。她說收集頭發是她家鄉的一項傳統：如果女性想要保持美麗和好運，就絕對不能扔掉脫落的頭發。

“I heard from elderly friends that women should not throw their lost hair away after combing,” she said. “They need to keep it. If not, the elderly say, it is as if you are throwing away your beauty. I started gathering my hair when I was 40 and by the age of 60 I had managed to gather one kilo, which was as much as I needed for a vest.”
“我從年長的朋友那里聽說，梳頭后，女性不能扔掉脫落的頭發，”奧爾坦薩說，“女人得留著頭發。他們說，如果女人把頭發扔了，這就等于拋棄了自己的美麗。我從40歲開始收集我的頭發，到我60歲的時候，這些頭發已經有1公斤重了，足夠我做一件背心。”

Ortansa explained that she only saved the hair that had fallen out as she combed it. She always had long hair that reached her hips, so all the strands in her collection were nice and long, making them perfect for knitting. She used two strands to make a single thread, and then used the threads to knit the vest, completing the project in only one week.
奧爾坦薩解釋說，她只收集梳頭時掉落的頭發。她經常留及臀長發，所以收集的頭發發質優良，也夠長，是很好的編織材料。她用兩根頭發繞成一股線來織背心，只用了一周就完成了編織。

“It was strange, but also very pleasant to knit something in your own hair,” she said. She doesn’t wear it though – after keeping it for about five years she gifted it to the local ethnographic museum, where it is currently on display.
“用自己的頭發織東西有點兒奇怪，但也很好玩兒。”不過她不穿這件背心，保存了五年后便送給了當地的人種學博物館。這件背心現在就在館內展出著。

Ortansa’s husband Vasile expressed pride in her unique craftsmanship. “I’ve touched it and it’s like some kind of soft wool,” he said. “I’m very proud of what she managed to do. It’s really complicated. The vest is also very nice.”
奧爾坦薩的丈夫瓦西里對妻子獨一無二的手藝很是自豪。他說：“這件背心摸起來像是某種軟羊毛。用頭發織背心是一門復雜的工藝，她能織成，我為她感到驕傲。背心也織的非常好。”

This is not the first time we’ve seen clothing items made exclusively from human hair. In 2010, Vietnamese hairdresser Kim Do created a unique tunic from one million meters of human hair.
這不是頭一次有人專門用人發做衣服。2010年，越南美發師金多用100萬米長的人發做了一件獨特的無袖上衣。
