In praise of Rapunzel's witch

She was the baddie. The one who snatched little Rapunzel when she was just a new born. The wicked witch who confined poor Rapunzel in a solitary fortress for years. Away from the whole world, where no one could see her or talk to her or influence her in any way.

Sure we all have hated her for her heartless acts. But did it ever strike you that this wicked wicked witch could have been a brilliant chemist of her time. Who hit upon some kind of an amazing shampoo, conditioner or a secret formula perhaps, which she used on Rapunzel's hair. Just what was it that this wicked witch concoted that made Rapunzel's hair so strong, sturdy, long yet lovely? Did she put Rapunzel on some out-of-this-world diet? Better still did she chant some wild chants to nourish Rapunzel's hair? Whatever it was, she must have cared a hell lot for Rapunzel's hair than she did for the poor girl as such.

I sometimes wonder, why this wicked witch was never employed in modern day shampoo and oil commercials. She was a nasty piece of work but anyone would fall for her secret hair care formula!
