Ni Linmei a 60yr old woman from China's Shanxi province hasn't cut her hair since 1998 and since then, it has grown to 11ft and 9inches. Having such generous locks can be problematic and time consuming, she once got her hair trapped in an elevator and spends all of two hours a day just washing and drying it.

She is reportedly looking to get into the Guinness Book of World Records but she has some way to go. The current record holder for longest documented hair belongs to Xie Qiuping of China. She set the record in 2004, when Guinness adjudicators measured her hair at 18 feet, 5.54 inches. It took her 31 years to grow it that long.
