Nilanshi Patel

Nilanshi Patel from Modasa, Gujarat, got a haircut and a video of it is now going viral on the Internet. Why, you ask? This is because Nilanshi's is no ordinary haircut.

Often dubbed as real-life Rapunzel, Nilanshi, 17, has locks that have earned her a Guinness World Record.

The longest hair on a teenager, the shortest woman alive, and the largest collection of paper cups are among the 80 record breaking achievements by Indians that have made it to the latest edition of the Guinness World Records, publisher Penguin Random House announced Thursday.

Ten years ago, Nilanshi Patel from Gujarat decided, after a bad haircut, to not cut her hair again. Today, the 16-year-old has earned a Guinness World Record for the longest hair on a teenager - thanks to her locks that measure 5-foot and 7-inches!
