Nilanshi Patel

Nilanshi Patel is an Indian model and three-time Guinness World Record holder renowned for having the longest hair among teenagers. She gained global fame when, at the age of 16, her hair measured an impressive 170.5 cm (5 feet 7 inches), which led to her first record. She continued to break her own record, ultimately achieving a length of 200 cm (6 feet 6.7 inches) by July 2020. After 12 years of growing her hair, she made the significant decision to cut it in April 2021, inspired by her mother to donate her hair to inspire others. Patel then sent her hair to the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! and Guinness World Records museum in Los Angeles. In addition to her modeling career, she launched her own hair care brand and reached the finals of the Miss Karnataka Universe pageant.
