Only in fairytales have we heard of Rapunzel and her long hair. But have you ever heard of a Rapunzel in real life? We are referring to Aliia Nasyrova of Ukraine, who is the current holder of the record for the longest hair on a woman in the world. Her hair is officially the longest on a living human (female), measuring 8 feet, 5.3 inches. Alia is 5 feet and 4 inches tall, so her hair is more than three feet longer than her. Yes, her hair is longer than that of the world's tallest man, Sultan Kösen of Turkey, who stands 8 feet, 2.8 inches tall too. In an interview, Aliia stated that she has never had a haircut and just trims her hair to maintain it. She lives with the purpose of inspiring others to recognise and cherish human beauty while being more natural. Aliia's mother and grandmother, both of whom had very long hair, inspired her to grow her own. World’s Tallest Man, Sultan Kösen of Turkey and World’s Shortest Woman, Jyoti Amge of India, Reunite in America for a Project (View Pics).
