A Vietnamese man is claiming to have the longest hair in the world.


Tran Van Hay, from the Mekong delta province of Kien Giang, says his hair is 20.34ft long (6.2m).

The 67-year-old hasn't had his hair cut for 31 years and is renowned for having the longest hair in Vietnam, says the VNA agency.

It's even listed in Vietnam's own record book, but he has yet to contact Guinness World Records with his claim.

A spokeswoman said the current holder of the record is Hoo Sateow from Thailand, with a hair length of 16ft 11ins.

She said they'd like to hear from Tran Van Hay to verify his claim and possibly name him as the new world record holder.

Record or not, that's just disgusting

I already made a topic like this one yesterday...

i don't know, but to me that does not look like a hair.... (the one that is wrapping around him, is his hair) look kinda fake.

I wonder how often he washes it and how long it takes to dry.

i was told by the news reporter that he never washed his hair! :genius:
