new thread
I just remembered something I saw on a show called "Guiness Prime time" that was aired like 3 years ago. These 2 chinese brothers were like 89 years old and they both had really long hair that they piled on top of their head. And the Guiness world record person measured his longest strand of hair and it was 29 feet long. Ill try to find a link because I know it's a pretty hard story to swallow.
Heres the article straigh from the Guinnes book of world records web site:
Longest Hair
On November 21, 1997, Hoo Sateow's lengthy locks were unraveled and officially measured at a hair-raising 5.15 m (16 ft 11 in) long.His are the longest locks in the world, but Hoo only beats his brother Yee by a whisker - Yee's tremendous tresses are 16-ft long.
Aided by local villagers, the siblings wash their hair once a month with detergent and water. Hoo cut short the title for Mata Jagdamba of Ujjain, India - her hair measured 4.23 m (13 ft 10.5 in).
Hoo began nurturing his magnificent mane in 1929, when he was 18 years old. Earlier the same year he'd cut his hair and fallen sick, so vowed never to chop off his locks ever again. The medicine man, who usually wears his hair weaved into a beehive under a hat, is no stranger to attention. Over 200 people a year trek through the mountains to be healed by Hoo's special powers and potions.

sorry, but the pictures on the page don't show up on my browser. is it legal to copy one and post it here so i can see?
Hmmm, that story sounds exactly like Hu Sengla's. He was Thai and was supposedly the man with the longest hair at 19'1" (see the article about his death almost 2 years ago on my site).
didnt one of these guys die just last week or something? I saw it on the news, that the guy with the longest hair died at 80 something, and they mentioned how he vowed to never cut his hair since he got sick. but yeah, its pretty foul, when the person holding the record actually takes care of their hair its impressive though, there were some sisters I remember seeing in the guiness book, I think theres was 10 or 11 feet, but it was actually nice looking, not a tangled mess. Guiness should have a rule about that, Nasty lookin hair will not be counted, LOL
Looks like he's holding...well...
nevermind...!
