Cheng Shiqun Woman With Eight Feet Long Hair

Cheng Shiqun, a beauty parlor owner in her 50s, displays her 2.5-meter-long hair, which she has kept for 16 years, at a park in southwest China's Chongqing municipality, March 30, 2009. It takes Cheng two hours to wash her unusually long hair and one hour to comb it.

Despite the extreme lengths Shiquin has gone to in order to achieve her long locks, she does not hold the record for the world's longest hair.

That title belongs to another Chinese woman - Xie Qiuping of Guangxi province. Her hair is a mind-boggling ten feet longer than Shiquin's, measuring 18.5ft in 2004. Well i wonder why there's many Chinese woman love to grow their hair so long.

Cheng Shiqun began growing her hair in 1973 at the age of 13.
