Today’s inspiring story shines a spotlight on a truly unique woman who holds the Guinness World Record for the longest dreadlocks in the world. Amazingly, she’s been growing her hair for 40 years—and the result is absolutely breathtaking.
Her hair now stretches beyond 19 feet, and she has no plans to ever cut it. To keep it from dragging on the ground, she usually carries it in a special bag. But because of its immense weight, she can only let it down for short periods.
“I don’t like the term ‘dreadlocks’—there’s nothing dreadful about them,” she explains. “I call them my royal crown of love—or my cobra.”
So, what’s her secret to such stunning locks? She credits gentle care, cleanliness, and even giving her hair little kisses! Her top tip: treat your hair the way you would care for a growing plant—with love, patience, and dedication.
