We must have heard regarding the people who are gaining world attention by getting a place in the Guinness World Records in various ways. But this will be the first of its kind. The incident happened in China. Here a group of young women have achieved a world record by combing their hair. More than 250 women from the Red Yao community have achieved this feat.
They gathered in China’s Huangluo Yao Village and held the Longji Long Hair Festival. Women participating in the festival set a world record by braiding their hair and tying it together to form a chain 456 meters (1,496 feet) long. They combed each other’s hair with traditional wooden combs.
The charming Longji in Longsheng, Guilin is renowned for its scenic beauty. Huangluo Yao is a small village within Longji. The village belongs to the Red Yao community, a special branch of the Yao clan in China. Women of the Red Yao clan always like to dress up and wear red clothes the most. Another characteristic of the women here is their unusually long hair.
From the day of birth to the age of 18, they do not cut their hair. After the age of 18, it is a celebration that they perform their hair cutting ceremony. For them, long hair is a symbol of longevity, wealth, prosperity and luck. It is said that gray hair is rarely seen even among the elderly in their village, who follow a special method for hair care.
