Woman With 8 Feet of Hair

Pictured: The woman whose hair is EIGHT FEET long
(despite her owning a beauty parlour)
As every woman knows, a bad hair day can pretty much ruin your entire mood. But for Chenq Shiquin, they must be devastating.
Shiquin owns a beauty parlour - but somehow she has managed to avoid having a haircut for the last 16 years.

She was pictured showing off her hair - which is eight feet long - in south-west China's Chongqing municipality this week.

It takes her two hours to wash her hair and another hour to comb it.
Despite the extreme lengths Shiquin has gone to in order to achieve her long locks, she does not hold the record for the world's longest hair.

That title belongs to another Chinese woman - Xie Qiuping of Guangxi province.

Her hair is a mind-boggling ten feet longer than Shiquin's, measuring 18.5ft in 2004.

She began growing it in 1973 at the age of 13.

You would think that it would be a great weight on her head? It does get think at the ends though...and comes to a point..hmm...I like long hair but would never grow mine that long..too much maintenance.

I've seen this posted at another forum that I go to once in a while.

Here's another:

Officially Xie Qiuping of China is recognized of having the world's longest hair which measures in at 5.627 meters.

Unofficially Tran Van Hay of Vietnam is the record holder at 6.2 meters. Tran Van Hay is still waiting to have the world record authenticated.

Notes: Xie Qiuping began growing her hair in 1973 at the age of 13. Her hair was measured May 08 2004 and she was included in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Tran Van Hay has not cut his hair in 31 years, and is hoping to take over the spot of having the longest hair in the world.

that last one is absolutely disgusting....just like dreads.....ick

yes Myst.....i can't see carrying all that hair around.....i mean, mind when it was down to my butt was awfully heavy (at that time it was thick, now, not so much) caused me to have headaches often. i went to school with a couple sisters (they had a couple brothers too) that i think were penecostal and only trimmed their hair.....it was almost to their feet.... :swoon: makes me think of Crystal Gayle

I remember having long hair when I was younger and it would give me headaches too. It was always in the way..it got to the point I had to move to sit down..

The thinning comes from it pulling too much with the weight and then the hair as they get older becomes sooo think..

Yes Chrystal Gale had that long hair too. I remember thinking it looked soooo thin and as she got older it kinda made her look old.

The longest I had my hair was just past my butt, and I usually wore it in a single braid. I have such thick hair it would give me headaches as well. It was also a pain in the butt when I was in the ring because it was something for my opponent to grab on to. When I finally had it lopped off my head felt 20 lbs lighter, I had eventually donated the braid to a local charity group that makes wigs for cancer kids. At least it went to a good cause.
