The woman believes her good genes allowed her to grow such long, thick hair. To care for them, Tami uses conditioner with argan oil. After washing her hair, the record holder dries it with paper towels so it does not remain wet.

It is essential to clarify that the length of her hair is a record for hairstyles. Tami wears a mullet.

The essence of the hairstyle, popular among rock musicians of the 1970s, including David Bowie, is that the hair is kept short at the front and sides and grown out at the back. So Tami has the longest part of her hair at the back. No one in the world has such a length who manages to leave some hairstyle on their head and does not just let their hair grow and grow indefinitely.

For reference, the owner of the longest hair on her head is the Chinese woman Xie Qiuping, with 5.6 meters of hair. The 63-year-old woman has held this record since 2004. You can see even more recent records from this year in our selection.
