Indian man with 62ft-long hair

A bizarre video has emerged from India of a man with 62ft long hair.

The video, shot on Tuesday, shows 60-year-old Savjibhai Rathwa walking around his village with his hair wrapped around his arm.

The man takes extra care over his diet to ensure that the hair gets the nutrition it needs to stay healthy.

He only eats vegetarian, home-cooked food and tries to avoid spicy food.

"When out on work, I survive on fruits only. I never ever take outside food," Savjibhai Rathwa said.

After washing his hair for three hours every other day, Rathwa goes to the fields to dry it.

While his grandchildren stretch out his locks in the Sun, he sits quietly in the shadow of a tree, smoking his water-pipe.

So far Rathwa has been brushing aside suggestions of applying for a Guinness World Record for having the world's longest hair, but he seems to have changed his mind now.

"I intend to apply for it, if someone call help me with the proceedings," he said.

Fortunately, a local non-profit organisation has agreed to help him with all the documentation required to apply.
