Did Vietnam man have longest hair?
Hanoi: A Vietnamese man who died this week and whose hair was so long it resembled a boa constrictor, may have had the world’s longest mane, reports said on Thursday.
The exact length of Tran Van Hay’s unwashed hair was unclear but the Vietnam News said it was 6.8 metres long. The Thanh Nien daily said Hay’s matted locks were measured at 6.2 metres in 2006. China’s Xie Qiuping is on record as having the world’s longest hair, measured at 5.6 metres in 2004, according to the website of Guinness World Records. Hay began to let his hair grow more than 50 years ago because he often got sick after a haircut, his wife Nguyen Thi Hoa said.
