Sidakdeep Singh Chahal, a 15-year-old from Uttar Pradesh, India, has earned a Guinness World Record for having the longest hair on a male teenager, measuring an astonishing 147 cms.
Chahal’s hair, which he has never cut, holds great significance in his Sikh faith. Sikhs are encouraged to maintain long hair as a religious practice, viewing it as a gift from God. Typically, Chahal ties his lengthy locks in a bun and covers them with a traditional dastār, or turban.
For many of his family members, the extent of Chahal’s hair growth came as a surprise. “Many of my relatives were shocked to see how long it was,” he shared with Guinness World Records.
Maintaining such long hair is no small feat. Chahal dedicates at least an hour to washing his hair twice a week. With the help of his mother, the process is made more manageable; otherwise, it could take an entire day.
While he once contemplated the idea of trimming his hair as he grew older, Chahal has now resolved to continue growing it indefinitely. He stated, “I plan to keep my hair uncut until the day I die.”
Chahal’s remarkable dedication to his faith and the Guinness World Record recognition underscore the cultural and personal significance of hair in many societies worldwide.
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
