Chinese Woman, 44, hasn't cut her 6ft 7in locks in 11 Years

AFRIK UPDATE

A Chinese woman 44-year-old Cen Yingyuan hasn't cut her hair for the past 11 years and her locks now hang at 6ft 7in long. Cen, who lives in Guigang, in the Guangxi Province, says ‘I have saved the hair for 11 years, and I am quite addicted to it.’

She treasures her hair so much she even collects any strands that drop out. ‘Starting from 2005 I started to collect the dropped ones when combing. Usually I can collect around 50g a year.’

Cen said many people have offered to buy her hair, and the highest amount she has ever been offered was 20,000 Yuan (£2,000).

Cen takes good care of her hair and is proud that there is no grey. ‘If the hair started to turn grey, I'll dye it all white, making myself have another look.’

It takes her over an hour to wash and then half a day to dry. Cen washes her hair every four days and her secret to keeping it shiny is to use a bottle of beer.
