    VIDEO: Guinness World Record for longest hair gets first haircut

    A woman who set the Guinness World Record for the longest hair in her teenage years got her first haircut after 12 years.

    Hailing from India, 18-year-old Nilanshi Patel donated the cut hair for display at the Ripley’s Believe it or Not! Museum in Los Angeles.

    She first set the Guinness record for longest hair on a teenager when she was 16 while her hair length was 5 feet, 7 inches long. She broke her own record for the second time with hair measuring 6 feet, 6.7 inches long before her 18th birthday.

    “My hair gave me a lot — because of my hair I am known as the ‘real-life Rapunzel,’ now it’s time to give back,” Patel said.

    She said she had initially thought of donating her hair to make wigs for children with cancer, but her mother convinced her that it should be displayed in the museum to inspire others.

    Her mother, Kaminiben Patel, had a deal with Nilanshi that she would donate her own hair to the cancer wig program if her daughter agreed to give hair it for museum display.

    “I love my new hairstyle. I feel proud that I’m going to send my hair to the US museum– people will see and be inspired by my hair,” said Patel.

    ‘Avengers: Endgame’ fan breaks world record by watching the film 191 times in cinemas

    Iron Man may have finally defeated Thanos with one consequential snap in Avengers: Endgame, but a fan snapped a worldwide record of his own recently.

    Marvel superfan Ramiro Alanis, a Florida-based personal trainer, officially holds the Guinness World Record for watching Avengers: Endgame 191 times in cinemas – the most times anyone has watched the film.

    As per details, Alanis completed the feat on July 29, 2019, according to the certificate he received, just over three months after the movie hit theatres on April 26, 2019.

    Alanis watched the movie 191 times in 94 days, averaging out to just over two screenings per day to get to the record.

    The commitment took a lot out of Alanis.

    Speaking to Guinness, the trainer said: “The most difficult part about this attempt was giving up my social life with my family, the gym (I lost 16 pounds of muscle) and managing my work hours and screening times at the theatres.”

    It was all worth it when he received the official email confirmation, with Alanis saying tears flooded his eyes.

    He said he couldn’t have done it without “the support I got from family, friends, managers and staff from the theaters I visited” as well as the fellow Marvel fans cheering his journey on social media.
