Meet this Indian woman from Uttarakhand who holds a Guinness World Record for nearly 9 foot long hair; her secret is surprisingly simple

Renu Dhariyal from Haldwani, Uttarakhand, has achieved a new Guinness World Record for her exceptionally long hair. Her hair measures an impressive 271.5 centimeters, surpassing the previous record holder from Ukraine. Renu stopped cutting her hair in 2015, inspired by traditional Indian views on beauty and identity. She maintains her hair using homemade oils and shampoos, avoiding chemical-based products.
