Uh, don't know. I don't lift. Just hoops, the rower, and some pickup softball games...

HANOI, Vietnam - A Vietnamese man who hasn't been to a barber in 31 years is vying to get in the Guinness World Records for having the longest hair, state-controlled media reported Monday.

Tran Van Hay's hair is 20 feet long, Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper said.

Normally tied up and covered by a scarf, his hair has grown four feet in the past seven years. He last had it washed six years ago [Eeewwwww... :shakehead: ], the paper said.

Hay, 67, is a traditional medicine practitioner from southern Kien Giang province, some 220 miles southwest of Ho Chi Minh City. He provides free treatment to villagers in the region.

The Guinness Web site says the current record for long hair, set in 1997, is held by Hoo Sateow of Chiang Mai, Thailand, at 16 feet 11 inches.

6 years? There must be something living up in there... O.o
It's really unhygenic, especially for someone who's a practioner,
oh well, i guess he keeps it wrapped up ^^

Exactly, that is SO GROSS. If you can't keep long hair and still maintain basic hygiene, then it's time to cut it. He's practicing medicine!! Maybe not a typical medical doctor, but still, he's treating people to an extent. Doctors should be clean, and he obviously can't wear a hairnet :shakehead: Not to sound gross, but dirty hair has a smell to it...and it's NASTY. His hair is probably so greasy. That gives your face a bad complexion too...oil from your scalp can travel down your face. YICK.
