The Guinness World Record holder for the longest hair on a teenager, April Lorenzatti, flaunts her ankle-length tresses. The 17-year-old let down her luscious 1.52-metres-long (4.99 ft) hair as she showed it off around her hometown of Villa Carlos Paz in Argentina.
Lorenzatti explained that she hasn’t cut her hair since she was seven, after a bad haircut experience.
” It all started 10 years ago when I wanted to get Matilda’s haircut from the movie. It was all very nice when I wanted to do it that first time. I went to the hairdresser and I made the cut, the next day I did not like it because I had made a very big change. “

Before that, I wore my hair down or in a ponytail, and then the sudden change made me not like it. Since then I said I do not cut my hair anymore.
Hailing from a small town in the province of Cordoba, Lorenzatti has started catching the attention of a handful of tourists.
“In the street they usually stop me to ask questions like for how long I haven’t cut my hair, if I plan to cut it off, if it’s a promise and things like that, I also get called Rapunzel sometimes or hear ‘Rapunzel, let down your hair’,” she said.
While she’s gotten quite accustomed to the attention, one thing she still can’t handle is a windy afternoon. “Wind can make my hair uncontrollable and so I have to wear them in a braid. Because if I don’t I have many knots that are difficult to remove. For now, I don’t plan to cut my hair. I want to let it grow and grow as much as possible, but in long-term, I’ll probably make a cut.”
