India"s Own Rapunzel Nilanshi Patel, Teen With Longest Hair In The World

Nilanshi beat her previous Guinnes World Record from November 2018.

Nilanshi wears high heels to keep her hair from touching the ground. 'Rapunzel' is the nickname given to her because of her long hair.

Although Nilanshi Patel's friends call her "Rapunzel," she loves her long hair and sees it as a "blessing." She said that her friends and family are so proud of her that they refer to her as their "real-life Rapunzel" in reference to the princess' long, flowing hair from the Brothers Grimm fairytale.

Nilanshi Patel beat her own record and entered another Guinness World Records for having the "Longest Hair in the World." She previously held the record in December 2018 when her hair was 170.5 cm long. Nilanshi's hair is currently 190 cm long. Friends and classmates frequently refer to the 17-year-old Modosa, Gujarat, resident as Rapunzel after the Disney princess who also has long hair.

After having a negative experience at the salon, Patel stopped getting her hair cut. She hasn't been to a salon since that time (11 years ago). "At six, I had a really bad experience at a neighborhood salon," she recalled. I have been reluctant to cut my hair ever since. She continued, "My parents accepted my wishes, and now my locks have become my lucky charm." She went from being a local celebrity to becoming an international one thanks to Patel's locks.

Nilanshi on her hair care routine

Nilanshi wears high heels to keep her hair from touching the ground. Like any other mother, Kaminibenat, takes good care of Patel's hair.

Nilanshi responded, "I do what every teenager does, when asked about her hair routine. Every week I wash my hair, and once or twice a week I oil it. She either uses a hairdryer or the sun to dry her hair. She continued, "Most of the time I wear a braid, but when playing or on special occasions, I tie my hair up in a bun. I only experience difficulties while swimming.
