Asha Mandela has a lock on the record for the longest locks (locs).
The 60-year-old Clermont, Florida, USA resident’s locs measured 5.96 m (19 ft 6.5 in) on 11 November 2009.
Today, Asha’s luxurious locs are even longer and according to her bio on Instagram they now measure up to 33.5 m (110 ft). Asha first began growing out her lovely locs over 40 years ago, after moving from the island of Trinidad and Tobago to New York, USA. Her process of washing her locs includes using up to six bottles of shampoo once a week and two full days for them to dry.
