Your hair, your crown: UP woman bags Guinness World Record for longest hair, check out her secrets

Guinness World Records: The 46-year-old Uttar Pradesh, India resident Smita Srivastava recently became the living person with the longest hair in the Guinness World Records. Her remarkable tresses were officially measured at an impressive 7 feet and 9 inches. She has not cut her hair since the age of 14. Srivastava was inspired to keep her long hair in the style that became iconic for Hindi actresses in the 1980s. Her commitment to keeping her hair long has now placed her on the record books.

Beautiful Hair With Beautiful Care

Guinness World Records states that Smita typically washes her hair twice a week. Every time, the complete procedure can take up to three hours, including washing, drying, detangling, and styling. She washes it for thirty to forty-five minutes, dries it with a towel, and then uses her hands to untangle it, which usually takes two hours. She combs her hair before braiding or tying it up into a bun after it has dried completely and become detangled.

Smita discloses that whenever she walks outside with her hair hanging loose, people are 'amazed'. People find it hard to believe that someone with such long hair can exist, she says in an interview, expressing shock at the unusual length she has kept up over the years. “Because my hair is so gorgeous, people frequently come up to me, touch my hair, take pictures, and take selfies with me. They also frequently ask what products I use.”

Smita, who claims to have dreamed of having this Guinness World Records title, is ecstatic to finally possess it.
