2 hours, 20 minutes ago Add Top Stories - AP to My Yahoo!

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, 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.

20 feet?? unbelievable.

Yeah... I would strongly recommend that he ride a very exciting roller coaster... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Wow. I just wonder why he hasn't cut it... no money?

I think he'll beat bob marley for new bug or insect species found. [img]smile.gif[/img]

that looks like a huge turd... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yikes. Can you imagine not washing your hair for six YEARS!!? Of course, it probably takes a week to dry.

My hair is about 1.5 inches long right now, and I'm going to get it cut on the weekend.

And the number one reason:

He loves it when his friends call him 'Rapunzel'.

That's what happens when hair isn't washed for six years (not speaking from experience, mind you...). I'm glad I don't have to touch it.

Everyone repeat after me... -Ugh-
