It can be challenging to have hair that is long enough to sweep the ground behind you.

“Once in my childhood when I was in theatre someone left gum in my hair, it was a tragedy,” Nasyrova said. “I had to cut out a clump of hair to get rid of this gum, because it was very difficult.”

Nasyrova, a Latvian woman with startlingly long hair, does not currently hold the title for the longest hair.

China’s Xie Qiuping, who began growing her hair when she was 13 years old in 1973, broke records with her hair rising length of 18 ft 5 in, according to the Guinness World Records (GWR).

GWR reports that her “hair is almost as long as an adult male giraffe is tall.”

Since most people may agree that hair maintenance is difficult enough, we salute Alia Nasyrova for her perseverance and commitment in cultivating her gorgeous long locks! What do you think of hair that is extremely long?

Do you think you could handle it or do you want your hair to be shorter and easier to manage?
