Asha Mandela from Atlanta, Georgia, has been growing out her hair for over 25 years and holds the record for having the longest hair.
She now has 55-foot dreadlocks that weigh a whopping 39 pounds:
Crazy, right?
Asha says that she never wants to cut her hair. It's even survived through her chemo treatments! Now THAT'S dedication.
But what does having so much hair do to you?
"The doctors seem to think I have a curvature of my spine and that it's the length and the weight of my hair that's making me curve,” she said. "Some have said my neck has collapsed at the back and that I need to be careful because I could start having spasms in my spine and probably be paralyzed."
In the same article, she also states that she'll never cut her hair because, "Cutting it would be equivalent to suicide. It would be like being a zombie."
