The lengths a woman will go to: Chinese mother grows hair that's longer than she is



55-year-old's locks have grown to 8ft in 14 years

She might spend a fortune on shampoo, but this Chinese mother-of-two is proud of her 8ft long head of hair.



Ni Linmei presented her endless mane at her home in Taiyuan, in China’s Shanxi Province, and admitted she hasn’t had a haircut in 14 years.



The 55-year-old was photographed laying her locks on a sofa as she attempted to comb the tresses.

But to measure the monstrosity, Ni Linmei had to stand on a chair so the ends only just reached the floor.



The jet black mane might suffer the odd split end, but for the length, her locks appeared in good condition.

And if she’s looking for a new career in the hair care industry, we’re sure millions of women would be interested in knowing her secrets.



Or she could make a small fortune by selling off her locks as hair extensions.
