A woman from Tennessee who is 58 years old has been given the title of having the longest mullet hairstyle among women who compete.
Tami Manis, who lives in Knoxville, has a mullet hairstyle that is 5 feet and 8 inches long, which is about the same height as an average man.
Ms Manis has been wearing a mullet hairstyle since the 1980s. She got this idea from a music video of an American rock band called ‘Til Tuesday. She has not trimmed her hair for 33 years.
Her hairstyle will be shown in the 2024 Guinness World Records book.
Ms Manis, a nurse who works in public health, said that her journey with the mullet hairstyle started when she first saw the music video for the song “Voices Carry” about forty years ago.
“She said to the Guinness World of Records that the girl had a long piece of hair at the back of her head and I really wanted one too. ”
Then, in November 1989, she decided to cut off her mullet hairstyle. However, she immediately felt sorry about it. So, from the next February onwards, she started to let it grow again and has not trimmed it since then.
A mullet is a hairstyle that is often described as having short hair on the front, top, and sides, and long hair at the back. People call it “business in the front and a party in the back. ”
This was a very popular style in the 1980s and early 1990s. It was worn by famous people like Billy Ray Cyrus, Mario Lopez, and Patrick Swayze.
MsManis said that she often surprises people because they don’t realize how long her hair is until she turns around.
MsManis believes that she was able to grow her hair very long because her genes are responsible for it.
She said that she also makes a conditioner with Argan oil in it.
But having such a long mullet can be challenging. First, Ms Manis has very long hair, even longer than her height. Because of this, she usually braids her hair to make it easier to handle.
Before she became a World Record holder, Ms. Manis participated in the 2022 US Mullet Championships and came in second.
Not long after, Guinness World Records created a new category for the longest competitive mullet. They told Ms Manis to apply.
She found out she had the special title when she got a certificate from Guinness delivered to her front porch.
She said, “I thought it was amazing when I opened it. ”
