WOMAN WITH LONGEST DREADLOCKS (PHOTOS)

Despite being warned by doctors that her hair that weighs three stone could paralyze her, Guiness world record holder for the longest dreadlocked hair, Asha Mandela has said she will never cut off her 55 feet-long hair.

Having crested on her popularity to launch her own hair formular, Asha was quoted as saying that; "'Cutting it would be equivalent to suicide. It would be like being a zombie.'

Despite doctors' warning that her weighty hair may lead to a curvature of the spine and then paralysis, she insists that the hair which she started growing 25 years ago has helped her overcome cancer, two strokes and two heart-attacks.
