Real Life Rapunzel Heads into Guinness Book of Records

When you think Rapunzel was just an animation movie to entertain children and adults at heart, I guess you will be thrown off to see that a human fits the cartoon bill.

Nilanshi Patel, of Gujarat, India, has been growing out her hair since she was six, and right now, she has been certified as the girl with the longest hair and sailed straight into the Guinness book of records.

The odd urge to grow out her hair started at the age of six after she had a pretty ugly haircut, and has since then vowed to keep intact every strand of her hair.

As of now, Nilanshi’s hair is 5 feet, 7 inches long, and they are quite some breathtaking locks.

On the plus side, the 16-year-old said the hair never gets in her way of doing whatever she wants.
