The world's longest hair: 17 metres

Asha Mandela is a real life Rapunzel, but Rasta style! This 47 year old American has dreadlocks measuring over 17 metres long and weighing around 19 kilos.

The heaviest weight lifted by a beard: 63.80 kilos

Lithuanian Antanas Kontrimas beat this record on the show 'Rekorlar Dünyasi' in Turkey. With his long, perfectly maintained beard , he lifted a woman weighing 63.80 kg. Officially making him the man with the strongest beard in the world!

The world's longest moustache: 4.30 metres

Indian Ram Singh Chauhan hasn't shaved his moustache since 1970. Today, it measures over 4.30 metres long.
