'I'm addicted to my hair'! Chinese woman, hasn't cut her hair in 11years

A Chinese woman hasn't cut her hair for the past 11 years and her locks now hang at 6ft 7in long.

44-year-old Cen Yingyuan, who lives in Guigang, in the Guangxi Province, says ‘I have saved the hair for 11 years, and I am quite addicted to it.’
She treasures her hair so much she even collects any strands that drop out. ‘Starting from 2005 I started to collect the dropped ones when combing. Usually I can collect around 50g a year.’ Cen said many people have offered to buy her hair, and the highest amount she has ever been offered was 20,000 Yuan (£2,000). Cen takes good care of her hair and is proud that there is no grey. ‘If the hair started to turn grey, I'll dye it all white, making myself have another look.’

However, Cen's long hair does come with disadvantages as it takes her over an hour to wash and then half a day to dry.
