Vietnam man hopes for hair record


A Vietnamese man who has not had a hair cut in 31 years hopes to get into the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest hair in the world. Tran Van Hay, 67, has hair which is now 6.2 meters (20 feet) long, according to Vietnam's state-controlled press. A local official said Mr Tran stopped having haircuts after one made him ill. "He can't work anymore as a farmer because of the volume of hair so he's just collecting herbs for traditional medicine as charity work," he said. According to the Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper, Mr Tran last washed his hair six years ago, and now usually ties it up and covers it with a scarf. The paper said he had not yet approached the Guinness World Records to get his claim authenticated. According to the organisation's web site, the current record holder is Hoo Sateow, a man from northern Thailand. His hair was measured in 1997 at 5.15 m (16 ft 11 in).

That's sick! Nastier than the guy with the longet finger nails in the world!
 
It has to do with the buzzing of the razor (or the scizzors...).

Anywho, I must say that does not look like hair...
 
That's pretty gross. I thought the guy with the longest fingernails was grosser though – His nails looked like they were rotting.

The things people do to get their name put in a book.
 
well it would probably take 9 bottles of shampoo to wash it. but no matte what it should be done at least once a month. at least they don't have a record for the worst smelling person, that would be bad
 
So many kinds of nasty.
It looks like it's gone through some kind of chemical transformation.
I mean hair isn't supposed to look like that.

Eew.
 
Lol, he has his hair covered with a scarf. That's why it looks as it is =P. Above his head you can see his normal gray hair. :dopey:

Hehe, thats whay I thought before i got dread-locks. They're gone now but they were cool for a while. That is pretty nasty though, I always wash my hair atleast twice a week.(Its pretty long and fairly thick, so i should do it more often infact)
 
Imagine what it would smell like If he burned all of that!! :yuck:
 
I hope so.
Good lord.

I got tired of having long hair after three years.
I couldn't imagine living like that.

I get a haircut every month. I can't stand hair. The longest I've grown it was 3 months, because I wanted to gel it up. But then I shaved it again.
