Nilanshi Patel, a 17-year-old girl who has the longest hair, reportedly uses one whole hour to comb it. She won Guinness World Record for the hair on two different occasions.

To keep her mane healthy and thick, she only washes it once a week and dries it for hours. After the washing, she uses secret oil made by her mother on it.

The teenage record holder avoids clumsiness with her hair by wearing it in a bun. She said the hair is something she is very proud of and glad that it gave her the world title.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that two identical twin sisters, Cipriana Quann and TK Wonder, became really famous for their long hair, a feature one of them said she initially hated. Cipriana said that she saw it as a big obstacle.

The duo had been quiet about the unique feature until when it made them really successful. “I was beginning to actually hate my hair and seeing it as a huge obstacle,” Cipriana said.
