Ukrainian woman Aliya Nasirova has entered the Guinness Book of World Records with hair that is 257.33 centimeters long. From now on, it is officially the longest hair a living woman has today.
Aliyah’s hair is almost 92 centimeters longer than her own height of 165 centimeters. Her strands are even longer than those of the tallest person in the world, who is 251 centimeters tall.
The 35-year-old record holder claims she has never cut her hair much, only trimming the ends a little to keep it healthy and strong.
Aliya washes her hair once a week, and it takes her about half an hour to wash it all. She then applies a mask, which takes another two hours. Since Aliya doesn’t like to blow dry her hair, she lets her strands dry naturally, which can take up to a day. She also combs her hair for half an hour to an hour.
“I follow a few simple rules to keep my hair healthy. I don’t dye it, I use only natural products and rarely henna, I apply natural masks and oils to my hair, mostly I prepare them myself, I never comb my hair when wet, and I don’t use a hairdryer. In addition, I regularly trim split ends, eat healthy food, and do not drink alcohol. I take vitamins and massage my scalp, sometimes I go to the sea or ocean to soak my hair with all the natural minerals,” the record holder said.
Every day, Aliya puts her hair in a bun because otherwise, it would drag on the floor.
Aliya was inspired by her mother and grandmother, who also have very long hair, and by the fairy-tale character Rapunzel, with whom she is often compared.
With her record, she hopes to inspire people to “enjoy human beauty and be natural.”
Aliya now lives in Slovakia and makes a living as an artist and graphic illustrator, as well as on social media, thanks to her long hair.
