Indian girl sets world record with 5-foot, 7-inch hair!

• The 16-year-old girl says that she washes her hair once in a week.

Nilanshi Patel from India holds the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest hair on a teenager. Her hair is 5 feet and 7 inches long.

As per media reports, the 16-year-old girl from Gujarat had stopped cutting her hair at the age of six after receiving a very bad haircut.

"I got my hair cut, a really bad haircut. So, then I decided that I won't cut my hair. I decided that when I was six and have not cut it since," she explained in a YouTube video released by Guinness World Records.

Nilanshi says that she washes her hair once in a week and it takes only a half-hour to dry.
"My mother helps me to braid and to comb my hair," Nilanshi said.

"People think that I face so many problems with my hair, but I don't face any problems, I do sports and all the things with my hair. It's a lucky charm for me," she said.

"I style it is as a long braid or as a bun on the top of my head. When I am going to an occasion, or when I am playing table tennis, I bun my hair on my head so that it is comfortable for me," she added.

The above video was shared by Guinness World Records which shows off her hair in all its glory.
