The "real Rapunzel", Elena Kravchenko, has 1.80 m long hair (TrippyTube)

Remember how we cried that the barbershops were closed because our hair was a bit long?

So get proportions: Nguyen van China from Vietnam has not had a haircut in almost 80 years.

In fact today he is 92 years old and from the moment he retired from school at the age of 12 he decided he would not let the scissors get close to his hair.

Today his hair is one large dash that reaches a length of five meters.

Unlike all sorts of Guinness World Record-breaking hair extensions, Nguan does not do this to impress anyone but simply because he believes he will die as soon as he dares to touch his hair.

The belief is banned in Vietnam and defined When it happened, however, Nguan believes in it wholeheartedly after he says God will be revealed to him. "I believe that if I cut my hair, I will die.

I dare not change anything in my hair, not even comb it, "he told Reuters," I just groom it, cover it with a scarf to keep it dry and clean and make it look nice. "

Nguan, who worships nine powers and seven gods, believes he is "called from heaven" to grow his hair, which he collects under an orange turban.

He was required to get a haircut at school, but retired after third grade and decided not to get a haircut, comb or wash his hair again.

"I remember my hair was black, thick and strong. I combed it and untied knots to keep it smooth," he said, "but when I got the call from the divine power, I knew right away I was chosen. I touched my hair and overnight it became really stiff. It clung tightly to my head. And became his own foreign body. "

His son claims to have seen a man die after getting a haircut and therefore believes in his father's belief (doubt: Reuters)

Nguyen's fifth son, Lum, helps him survive with his long hair.

He, too, believes in the connection between hair and mortality, after seeing a man who passed away while trying to reconnect his hair cut with a string.

"These things look simple but they are sacred," said the 62-year-old Loom. "My father's health is important to me so I will do anything to keep his hair."
