As you know, hair grows at different rates in different people.

Many factors influence how quickly your hair grows, including genetics, ethnicity, diet, and geographic location.

For example, the hair of people living in Africa grows in length by about 5 millimeters per month, while that of people living in Asia grows by 20 millimeters.

On average, most people's healthy hair grows 0.35 millimeters per day.

Regardless of how fast they grow, most people cut their hair. Most, but not all.

For example, Chinese woman Xie Qiuping will never agree to visit a hairdresser: the last time the woman had her hair cut was when she was 13, and since then she has not touched scissors.

As a result, her hair length was 5.627 centimeters when the Guinness World Record was set in 2004. By that time, she had not cut her hair for 31 years.

If we talk about men, the record holder with the longest hair is Swami Pandarasannadi, the abbot of the Thirudathurai monastery in India.

The length of his hair in 1949 was 7.93 meters.

The Sikh Guru did not cut his hair or beard, following his religious beliefs.
