Hair below the belt is a rare phenomenon, since the growth of the hair shaft is limited by the physiological cycle. Abnormal length of the hair - a sign of a genetic failure, which can boast a few.
The longest hair of the world in women according to the Guinness Book of Records
The latest record was recorded in China. Ksie Kviping did not attend a hairdresser for 42 years, having grown a braid on 5 meters 62 cm. The second place belongs to Aschu Mandela, who became famous for her dreadlocks (pigtails) with a hair shaft length of 2.6 meters.
The age of both women exceeded 50:
- Xie - 54 years old;
- Ashu - 51 years old.
Caring for locks of such length requires patience, time, and skill.
A resident of Atlanta (USA) Mandela washes her pigtails every week, for which she spent a total of 3 days with a dryer. The weight of wet dreads exceeds 10 kg, which is a significant load on the spine.

Xie spends on washing, drying hair 2 days a month. She has to comb the strands daily to prevent them from tangling and misfiring, which takes at least 2 hours.
The longest real hair in the world for men
An unsurpassed record for men is also the representative of Asia: Vietnamese Tran Van Hai. Barber scissors did not touch his head for more than half a century. By the end of his life, he wore a seven-meter hair turban on his head. Women's cares about beauty were alien to him, and he washed his head every 4 years.
The desire to grow hair surprisingly to others he never had. But the haircut was always accompanied by a breakdown. After that, young Tran decided to do without a hairdresser in his life.
The second place in men is occupied by the Thai Hu Satio, who had shorter hair 1 m. He used his phenomenon for commercial purposes, which led, according to local residents, to his premature death. Traditional beliefs do not allow to demonstrate the intimate parts of the body, which here also include the hair part of the head.
Record the world's longest hair in children
In a poor Brazilian family, Moraes had a problem with the washing of the head of a 16-year-old Natasha. The scythe, up to the ground itself, required a considerable amount of $ 50 for its departure. The girl felt sorry for her braids, which fell into the Guinness Book of Records (1.6 m), and she understood family difficulties.
In the end, the teenager decided to visit the hairdresser, where he carefully cut the strands. The proceeds from the sale of hair amount was impressive (5 thousand dollars).
In the Book of Records of Russia, age-related phenomena among children are recorded (data at the beginning of 2017):
- 1 year - 34 cm (Astaf'eva Masha, Yaroslavl);
- 3 years - 56 cm (Kovtunets Alisa, Serpukhov);
- 4 years - 72 cm (Grechina Dasha, Odintsovo);
- 5 years - 0, 85 m (Angelina Khasyanova, Kazan);
- 6 years - 0.74 m (Nikitina Kristina, Nizhny Novgorod);
- 7 years - 111 cm (Mareeva Kristina, Sergiev Posad);
- 8 years old - 87 cm (Yurshina Julia, Lipetsk);
- 10 years - 112 cm (Vita Islands, Sochi);
- 11 years old - 108 cm (Anaty Chentsova, Moscow);
- 12 years old - 139 cm (Nina Bychkova, Novosibirsk);
- 14 years old - 130 cm (Balabukha Yana, Usman).
Perhaps one of these girls will fall in time with the World Guinness Book of Records.
