Woman with Rapunzel-style locks gets world record for longest hair donation A woman with Rapunzel-style hair has shaved off her locks to become the world record holder for the longest hair donation.
Ruth Tripp donated 67 inches (170cm) of hair to The Little Princess Trust – a charity which makes real-hair wigs for children with cancer and other conditions.
Meanwhile, fellow donor Jack Drever, from Southampton, gave 35 inches (89cm) of his hair to the charity, making him the record holder for the longest male donation.
Wendy Tarplee-Morris, one of the founders of The Little Princess Trust, said: “We always encourage our supporters to grow their hair as long as they can as it helps us meet the demand for our popular longer wigs.
The mother of four said that children said she had “princess hair” which prompted her to donate to the charity.
